Argentina’s Energy Secretariat has authorized YPF to proceed with the construction of a new gas pipeline in Neuquén province. The pipeline, named “Gasoducto PC LAS a Colector 13 ISTMO,” will expand the region’s gas transportation infrastructure. The authorization, however, is contingent upon YPF meeting a series of environmental and operational conditions set forth by the Secretariat. These conditions also require YPF to address previously raised concerns regarding the project. The pipeline is expected to bolster gas supply capabilities in the area, though specific details regarding capacity and completion timelines remain undisclosed. The approval signals continued investment in Argentina’s energy sector and infrastructure development.
