(PGJ) - The government of Argentina decided to accelerate the reversal works of the Northern Gas Pipeline, which will guarantee supply to the entire north of Argentina, as well as allowing for exportation to Chile from the Vaca Muerta. This project, contemplated in the Transport.Ar Gas Pipeline System Program, has now become a priority due to the sharp reduction in Bolivian natural gas exports to Argentina in the last two years, due to the decline in its deposits. In addition, the reversal of the North Pipeline will also allow exports to Brazil through the Juana Azurduy Integration pipeline. The Gasoducto del Norte, inaugurated in 1960, is a 900-mile (1,450 km) pipeline (), with a north-south orientation and a capacity of 998 MMcf/d (28 MMcm/d) of natural gas from Campo Duran (Salta) to San Jeronimo (Santa Fe) and supplies eight provinces: Salta, Jujuy, Tucuman, Santiago del Estero, Catamarca, Cordoba, Santa Fe and Buenos Aires.
