HOUSTON—Following September 2018 authorization to export to Free Trade Agreement (FTA) countries, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has approved Mexico Pacific Limited (MPL) application to export to non-FTA countries.
The authorizations allow MPL to export U.S. gas to Mexico and to export such gas from Mexico in the form of LNG. The conversion from a U.S. gas to Mexican LNG product will take place at the MPL-owned facility at Puerto Libertad, in the state of Sonora on the Pacific Coast of Mexico.
By leveraging existing pipeline routes to liquefy low-cost U.S. shale gas on the Pacific coast of Mexico, the FTA and Non-FTA authorizations reinforce MPL’s supply synergy with Asia Pacific customers.
“We’re applying disciplined focus to deliver a world-class project with highly competitive landed pricing into Asia,” said Josh Loftus, president of MPL. “We are pleased to receive the ongoing regulatory support of the U.S. and Mexican governments as we build momentum towards taking a final investment decision in H1 2020 and start up in H2 2023.”
