Pipelines in Argentina
Argentina has 69 pipelines mapped on the OverWatts open energy atlas — the 12th-largest fleet of the 110 countries that hold any, and 2% of the world's mapped total. Of these, 55 operating and 12 under construction or proposed.
The largest owner-operators are YPF (9), Enarsa (Energía Argentina SA) (8) and Oleoductos del Valle SA (6) — YPF alone is named on 13% of them. Half of Argentina's pipelines in service predate 2004 (median commissioning year of the 37 with a known date), 12 came online in the past decade and the oldest still listed is Chelforó-Conesa Gas Pipeline, dating from 1952. 12 are in the pipeline, led by Perito Moreno Gas Pipeline — Phase 2, proposed. They account for 15% of every energy asset OverWatts maps in Argentina.
