Re: Material Fact. TGS will expand its Midstream infrastructure investments in Vaca Muerta.


Dear Sirs,

I am writing to you in my capacity as Head of Market Relations of Transportadora de Gas del Sur S.A. (“TGS” or the “Company”) in order to report that, within the framework of the Vaca Muerta Midstream project (the “Project”), TGS executed an agreed minute which is complementary to the agreed minute executed with the Undersecretary of Energy, Mining and Hydrocarbons of the Province of Neuquén (Subsecretaría de Energía, Minería e Hidrocarburos de la Provincia del Neuquén) on April 3, 2018 (which was notified through the material fact published on that same date) (hereinafter the “Complementary Agreed Minute”) whereby the parties commit to granting TGS an extension of the transportation concession to build and operate the Project pipeline expanded North Tranche, which will gather the off-spec natural gas production from several hydrocarbons fields located mainly in the Vaca Muerta formation (the “Expanded North Tranche”).

It should be pointed out that the execution of the Complementary Agreed Minute is subject to approval by the Provincial Executive Branch (Poder Ejecutivo Provincial) through the issuance of the corresponding Provincial Decree in the Official Gazette of the Province of Neuquén; as from which date it will come into effect. In addition, to make the Project feasible, TGS entered into agreements with certain natural gas producers.

The Expanded North Tranche will extend from the Rincón La Ceniza area (km 91.0 progressive) to Los Toldos I Sur area (km 116.0 progressive).

This new pipeline, with an associated investment of US$ 40 million, a transportation capacity of 551 million cubic feet per day in said tranche, a length of 15.5 miles, a 36” diameter and a 97 kg/cm2 Higher Maximum Operating Pressure,










validates the feasibility and suitability of the business model submitted by TGS to producers, as an efficient and scale solution to their infrastructure needs. This pipeline is expected to be in operations in September 2019.

TGS’s investments in Vaca Muerta formation will enable the Company to take a leap forward in its midstream businesses, thus consolidating its commitment to the energy supply in Argentina.

Yours sincerely,




Hernán Diego Flores Gómez

Head of Market Relations
