Background
The Cuxtal gas pipeline is a 16-kilometer (10-mile) spur pipeline connecting the Energia Mayakan Pipeline with Mexico's national Sistrangas pipeline system.[1][8] The pipeline forms part of a much larger natural gas pipeline system, anchored at its northern end by the Sur de Texas-Tuxpan Pipeline, that connects Texas's Permian Basin with the Yucatán peninsula, a region that has long suffered from some of Mexico's highest energy prices.[9]
Construction of the US$ 25 million project began in January 2020, with an anticipated completion date of August.[10] As of June 2020, the pipeline was already 80% complete, according to a report from Mexico's SENER (Secretary of Energy.[11] Mexico's natural gas agency Cenagas announced that construction was completed in September of the same year, with pre-operational tests beginning immediately thereafter. The pipeline began commercial operations in late 2020.[4][6][12]
Proposed Expansion of Capacity
A proposed two-phase expansion of the adjacent Energía Mayakan pipeline, aimed at supplying natural gas to the proposed Mérida and Riviera Maya combined cycle power stations, would increase capacity of the Cuxtal-Mayakan pipeline system to at least 500 MMcf/d.[13][14] Phases I and II of the Energía Mayakan expansion project (also known as Cuxtal-Mayakan expansion Phase II and Phase III) are expected to take two to three years to complete.[14]
