Background

In 1991, Argentina and Chile concluded the Gas Interconnection Protocol. For the implementation of this protocol several pipeline projects were proposed. The GasAndes Pipeline project was proposed by the consortium of NOVA Corporation of Canada, Chilean companies Gasco and Gener, and Argentine companies Compañía General de Combustibles and Techint Compañía Ténica Internacional. The feasibility study of the pipeline was concluded in 1994. The pipeline was commissioned in 1997.

Technical features

The diameter of the pipeline is 610 mm (24 in) and the annual capacity is 3.3 billion cubic meters. It is supplied mainly from the Neuquén gas fields. Total investments of the project was US$1.46 billion.
