Perito Moreno Gas Pipeline expansion (ex-GPNK) - TGS
Why this project exists (systemic effect / derived demand): the expansion of the Perito Moreno Gas Pipeline (ex-GPNK) by +14 MMm3/d of capacity (confirmed in Res. 676/2026) is meant to evacuate the incremental gas from a Vaca Muerta running at full capacity - the production the investment regime is scaling has to get out one way or another. Transport demand is real and measured: the open season received bids for >32 MMm3/d, more than double what is being built. Operational before the 2027 winter; commitment of 20% to local suppliers and 40% of the amount in the first 2 years. La Pampa captures the investment because the pipeline crosses it (spillover effect), not because it joined the RIGI: the regime works cross provincial borders, no matter who produces the gas.

- The works, milestone by milestone — We have not built this project’s timeline. Dated milestones with their source close it.
- Who already has a contract — We have not surveyed this project’s awards. A published contract with its source closes them.

How to become a supplier
We have not built this project’s entry map. It is our gap, not a prohibition: it closes by opening the provincial register and the operator’s single window.
What it will buy, and when
Each phase buys different things at different times.
Expansion works on Section I of the pipeline
under wayVerbatim from the act: «filed an estimated schedule of the Project’s total investment describing a works or construction term of eighteen (18) months from November 1, 2025, and declares April 1, 2027 as the estimated start of operation». It adds 14 million cubic metres per day of capacity. The minimum investment deadline is Dec 31, 2026.
They are not buying any of this today. Open the phase to see the detail and arrive qualified the day it goes to tender.

What it leaves in La Pampajobs, works, taxes, promises and the outlook
- The works that stay behind — We have not surveyed this project’s permanent works. A published size with its source closes them.
- What it already pays in taxes and royalties — We have not broken down this project’s local fiscal contribution: the primary source that sets each item still has to be opened, and an act of the State is not published on press backing.
- Who promised what — We have not surveyed the public promises about this project. A dated, verifiable commitment with its source closes them.
What could stall itrisks and how to track them
- What could stall it — We have not documented this project’s risks. An identifiable vector with its source closes them.
- How to tell whether it is advancing — We have not defined this project’s indicators: what observable fact marks its progress still has to be identified.

No RIGI admission resolution publishes the figure: the seventeen that are published state that the company «provided the estimate of direct and indirect employment of the Project with local integration» and do not transcribe it. The official RIGI portal publishes a single figure that adds direct and indirect jobs together and does not separate the two stages, and mixing them is exactly the error the `empleo` field exists to prevent.
