| Summary: | 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. |
