Argentina has officially launched the tender for construction of the 563-kilometer (350-mile) Néstor Kirchner natural gas pipeline. 

Vaca Muerta Project

The project would expand the capacity of the country’s natural gas transport network by 25% and enable continued development of the Vaca Muerta Shale formation in the Neuquén Basin, said state-owned Energía Argentina, which is in charge of the project. 

The pipeline’s $1.5 billion first phase would have a capacity of 24 million cubic meters/day (MMm3/d), equal to about 847 MMcf/d.
