Background

The San Martín pipeline is one of three pipelines, along with the Neuba I and Neuba II Pipelines, that comprise Argentina's TGS pipeline network. The San Martín Pipeline is the largest of the three pipelines, extending for 4590 kilometers through the provinces of Tierra del Fuego, Chubut, Rio Negro, Neuquén, and Buenos Aires.[3][13] As of 2022, the pipeline reportedly had a transport capacity of 30.8 million cubic meters per day, much of which remained unutilized.[10]

TGS (Transportadora de Gas del Sur, or Gas Transporter of the South) was established on December 28, 1992 after the privatization of the Argentinian energy sector. it was part of Gas del Estado, a government regulated company divided later into Transportadora de Gas del Sur (TGS) and Transportadora de Gas del Norte (TGN).
