<P style="margin:0px; font-family:Book Antiqua,Times New Roman; font-size:11pt" align=justify>Dear Sirs,</P>
<P style="margin:0px" align=justify><BR></P>
<P style="margin:0px; font-family:Book Antiqua,Times New Roman; font-size:11pt" align=justify>I am writing to you in my capacity as Alternate Head of Market Relations of &nbsp;Transportadora de Gas del Sur S.A. (&#147;TGS&#148;), in order to report that on this date TGS executed an agreed minute with the Undersecretary of Energy, Mining and Hydrocarbons of the Province of Neuqu&#233;n and Gas y Petr&#243;leo del Neuqu&#233;n S.A. (&#147;GyP&#148;) (the &#147;Agreed Minute&#148;), whereby TGS is granted a concession to build and operate a gathering pipeline which will cross a number of fields in the Vaca Muerta formation; in addition, TGS will build and operate a conditioning plant (the &#147;Project&#148;).</P>
<P style="margin-top:7.333px; margin-bottom:7.333px; font-family:Book Antiqua,Times New Roman; font-size:11pt" align=justify>It should be pointed out that the execution of the Agreed Minute is subject to approval by the Provincial Executive Branch, through the issuance of the corresponding Provincial Decree in the Official Gazette of the Province of Neuqu&#233;n; as from which date it will come into effect. In addition, to make the Project feasible, TGS entered into natural gas transportation and conditioning agreements with certain natural gas producers.</P>
<P style="margin-top:7.333px; margin-bottom:7.333px; font-family:Book Antiqua,Times New Roman; font-size:11pt" align=justify>The gathering pipeline, which will connect the Rinc&#243;n La Ceniza area to the main transportation systems, will have a transportation capacity of 1.3 billion of cubic feet per day (&#147;Bcf/d&#148;) -expandable to 2.0 Bcf/d-, a length of 57 miles, a 36&#148; diameter and will operate at a 97 Kg/cm<SUP>2 </SUP>pressure. The conditioning plant, which will adapt the quality of the natural gas before it enters the main natural gas transportation pipelines, will have an initial capacity of 177 million cubic feet per day, expandable in modules up to 2.0 Bcf/d.</P>
<P style="margin-top:7.333px; margin-bottom:7.333px; font-family:Book Antiqua,Times New Roman; font-size:11pt" align=justify>The amount of the investment related to the Project&#146;s first stage amounts to US$ 250 million and its execution will be implemented throughout the rest of the year 2018 and during part of the year 2019. &nbsp;</P>
<P style="margin-top:7.333px; margin-bottom:7.333px; font-family:Book Antiqua,Times New Roman; font-size:11pt" align=justify>The Project represents an essential contribution to the development of the Vaca Muerta hydrocarbon formation, and both the National Government and that of the Province of Neuqu&#233;n are highly interested in it, as it will provide the infrastructure required for the incremental natural gas production to enter the main natural gas transportation systems. For TGS, the development of the Project underscores its interest in the Argentine energy industry growth.</P>
