March 5 is Gas Day
March 5 is Gas Day in Argentina. The date was established in memory of the creation of the National Gas Directorate in 1945, the result of the merger of the YPF Gas Department with the Compañía Primitiva de Gas. This entity later evolved into Gas del Estado, responsible for important milestones in the Argentine energy sector.
One of the most notable achievements of this institution was the construction of the largest gas pipeline in the world at the time, with a length of 1,600 kilometers, connecting producing and consuming regions and boosting the country's economic development.
The celebration of National Gas Day highlights the importance of natural gas in the Argentine energy matrix and pays tribute to the professionals who contribute to the exploration, distribution and efficient use of this vital resource.
