Looking ahead to the progressive development of the natural gas reserves of Vaca Muerta and other areas of the Neuquen basin, we are already planning future stages of the project, which will imply the expansion of both the gathering pipeline and the conditioning plant.
Thus, we have already moved forward with the Litoral Pipeline Project, which will ensure the essential infrastructure towards the development of Vaca Muerta. The building of this pipeline will promote the development of the market in industries and power plants, will supply the GNEA -Argentine north east- with local gas, will generate petrochemical projects and will lead to natural gas and LNG exports. On the other hand, we are assessing a liquefaction Project in Bahía Blanca, to generate demand in the summer season and allow an efficient exploitation of non-conventional resources.
