The new partnership, VMOS S.A., includes YPF, Vista Energy Argentina S.A.U., Pampa Energía S.A., and Pan American Sur S.A.
According to the statement, the Vaca Muerta Sur pipeline "will span 437 kilometers and will feature a loading and unloading terminal with interconnected monobuoys, as well as a tank yard and storage facilities."
