Integration Strategy for the Southern Cone Gas Networks

Experts from the governments of Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Paraguay, Peru and Uruguay, who participated in this strategic study for the Southern Cone Gas Pipeline Networks, combined their efforts to identify a shared energy alternative which would help boost the development of natural gas in the sub region, and, thus, its sustainable economic development. This study was developed in two phases: a first phase which evaluates the economic advantages of the integration of the gas networks in the sub region on the basis of data provided mainly by the governments, determining the priority projects to initiate it; and a second phase containing more detailed technical, economic, environmental and financial pre-feasibility studies for these projects. The studies clearly demonstrate that integration of gas networks has a very positive impact as a mechanism for supplying natural gas, a clean and abundant fuel in the sub region. The study concludes that implementing an integration plan will result in an increase in the competitiveness of regional economies.
