About us
ARG operates and maintains pipelines for the transport of ethylene. It is the heart of a widely ramified ethylene pipeline network in north-western Europe. In addition to the participating companies, ARG’s main customers include almost all major petrochemical companies in Europe, with around 65% of transport being carried out for third parties. Due to its physical properties and the technical complexity involved, the use of alternative means of transport for ethylene is hardly economically viable.
The pipeline network – including the right to use the parallel pipeline in Belgium – has a total length of approximately 495 km and is located in Germany, Belgium and the Netherlands. The ARG pipeline network is operated in cooperation with long-standing, experienced technical service providers and is continuously adapted to technical progress. We work closely and trustingly with national regulatory authorities. The safety functions of the entire pipeline network are checked and monitored around the clock (24/7). In addition, ARG manages two further petrochemical pipeline systems (PRG and EPS) in terms of commercial and operational planning.
Structure
The shareholders of ARG are BASF, INEOS, SABIC and Westgas (Evonik).
