Argentine gas plant expansion makes most of existing infrastructure
- Transportadora de Gas del Sur S.A., Buenos Aires (Argentina)
Expansion currently under way at a large gas-processing plant near Bahia Blanca, Argentina, illustrates how incremental projects leveraged off existing facilities can be built at reduced investment. For $60 million, Transportadora de Gas del Sur S.A. (TGS) is increasing capacity at the General Cerri gas-processing plant by a net 17 million cu m/day (490 MMcfd) and storage capacity by 45,000 cu m. To build these facilities from scratch would cost as much as $150 million. By taking advantage of, or leveraging off, the infrastructure in place (land, compression, pipelines, water, and electricity), the project is capitalizing on existing gas flows. The paper describes current operations, the expansion, the addition of aftercoolers, and storage expansion.
