North America's Next Generation of LNG

Mexico Pacific’s anchor project, Saguaro Energía, is a 15 mtpa North American West Coast LNG export facility, located in Puerto Libertad, Sonora, Mexico.

With three liquefaction trains commercially contracted, strong support from governments and capital markets, and key federal, state, and municipal permits in place across the LNG facility and the pipeline, Mexico Pacific is positioning the project for a positive final investment decision (FID).

Project Facts

  • Nameplate Capacity: 15 mtpa (3 x 5.0 mtpa / train)
  • Liquefaction Technology: ConocoPhillips Optimized Cascade
  • Land: 1,500 acres owned by Mexico Pacific
  • Infrastructure: 2 x 180,000 m2 tanks; 1 berth
  • Gas Supply: 2.8 Bcf/d from the Permian Basin (U.S.)
  • Permits: Federal, state, and municipal permits in-hand for construction
  • Contracts: Fully contracted with seven investment-grade counterparties to support project financing
  • Shipping: Compared to U.S. Gulf Coast (USGC) projects, 11 days shorter shipping distance to Asia (avoiding Panama Canal)
  • Growth: Near-term expansion potential for additional LNG trains and future fuels projects

Saguaro Energia is being developed in a two-phased approach:

Phase 1:

includes the first two 4.7 mtpa liquefaction trains, two tanks and one berth

Phase 2:

completes the anchor project with a third 4.7 mtpa train

Supporting the global energy transition and providing energy security to Asia with LNG

Mexico Pacific’s location and design facilitates 50% deeper decarbonization compared to U.S. Gulf Coast projects:

  • Gas supplied from the lower CO2 Permian Basin gas market (99% lower associated CO2 per molecule compared to Haynesville);
  • Employing newer pipeline technologies and liquefaction design; and
  • A materially shorter shipping distance to market, reducing shipping emissions by 60%.

Mexico Pacific avoids ~105 million metric tons of CO2 emissions vs U.S. Gulf Coast projects, equivalent to:

  • 248 million one-way passenger flights from New York to Hong Kong;
  • 4.8 billion trees absorbing CO2 over 1 year;
  • 22.8 million passenger car emissions over 1 year; or
  • 11.7 GW-hrs of coal power plant emissions.
