HOUSTON, Aug. 3 -- A unit of San Antonio, Tex-based Tidelands Oil & Gas Corp.—Arrecefe Management LLC—is planning two natural gas pipelines at the US-Mexico border: a 30-in. line between Progreso, Tex. and Nuevo Progreso, Mex. and a 36-in. line west of the Mission, Tex.-Arguelles, Mex. border.

The pipelines will connect with a proposed underground gas storage facility and the oil and gas infrastructure of Mexico's state-owned petroleum company Pemex, to create a pipeline network facilitating gas flow to Mexico's commercial, residential, and industrial customers.

Tidelands currently is preparing data required to file for Federal Energy Regulatory Commission permits that will enable the design, construction, and maintenance of the pipelines.
