LNG

One of the main pipelines planned to ship US natural gas to Mexico, whose route is from South Texas to the Mexican state of Veracruz, is scheduled to enter service in the weeks ahead after some hold-ups caused by bad weather and will lessen LNG requirements.

Mexico, the largest customer for US LNG with 65 cargoes received since 2016 and other shipments brought in from nations such as Nigeria, is planning a tender for strategic storage of natural gas at four depleted oil and gas reservoirs.

Mexico said that was developing a set of privately-owned pipelines and other natural gas projects, including a floating LNG import facility, as part of a historic build-out of the nation’s gas infrastructure.
