Gizil partners with TGS to advance digital transformation of Argentina’s energy infrastructure
Düsseldorf, Germany – 9th October 2025 – Gizil, a German industrial engineering and digitalization company, has been selected by Transportadora de Gas del Sur (TGS), Argentina’s largest natural gas transporter, to deliver Virtual Plant as a digital solution across its operations. This project marks a major milestone in both companies’ digital transformation journeys and underscores the growing importance of data-driven solutions for critical infrastructure.
TGS is pioneering a new approach by adopting Gizil’s Virtual Plant – an innovative alternative to conventional 3D model–based digital twins. Instead of relying solely on costly and time-intensive BIM/CAD modeling, Virtual Plant leverages reality capture and metadata integration to provide immediate value, flexibility, and scalability across complex energy facilities.
The initiative aligns with TGS’s broader digitalization roadmap, which industry advisors such as KPMG have highlighted as key to improving efficiency, safety, and sustainability in Latin America’s energy infrastructure.
Strategic Relevance:
Scalable foundation: Virtual Plant will start with one of the compressor stations and expand across multiple compressor stations and facilities within TGS’s vast network.
Operational excellence: A browser-based, metadata-rich environment ensures seamless integration with maintenance, HSE, and asset management processes.
Future-proof innovation: By adopting disruptive digital twin technology, TGS positions itself at the forefront of the energy transition and infrastructure modernization.
“TGS is setting a new benchmark for the Latin American energy sector by embracing Virtual Plant technology,” said Esma Gulten, Managing Director of Gizil GmbH. “This collaboration demonstrates not only the importance of digital transformation in critical infrastructure but also the willingness of industry leaders to adopt practical, scalable innovations that deliver measurable results”. With this initiative, TGS strengthens its role as a regional pioneer in energy digitalization, paving the way for wider adoption of Virtual Plant solutions across Latin America.
