Background

Built and operated by IEnova under a transportation services agreement with Mexico's Federal Electricity Commission (CFE), the Ojinaga-El Encino Gas Pipeline is a key component of the Wahalajara pipeline network, which brings natural gas from Texas to Mexico. The Wahalajara system is named after the Waha oil field in Pecos County, Texas and the Mexican city of Guadalajara, which form the northern and southern extremities of the pipeline network. From north to south, the other pipelines included in the Wahalajara network are the Trans-Pecos Gas Pipeline (completed in 2017), the El Encino-La Laguna Gas Pipeline (2018), the La Laguna-Aguascalientes Natural Gas Pipeline (2019), and the Villa de Reyes-Aguascalientes-Guadalajara Gas Pipeline (2020).
