Amigo LNG SA de CV, the Mexican joint venture of Texas-based Epcilon LNG LLC and Singapore-based LNG Alliance Pte. Ltd., has concluded a 15-year sales agreement with Macquarie Group for 600,000 tonnes/year (tpy). Supplies are expected to coincide with the start of commercial operations, targeted for second-half 2028.
The 4.2-million tpy Amigo plant will be sited in Guaymas, Sonora, Mexico, and supplied by Permian basin natural gas through existing pipeline networks. A second train could be added if market conditions warrant. Amigo LNG will be able to load LNG carriers as large as 265,000 cu m.
The company awarded engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) work to Drydocks World LLC, which will fabricate and deliver the project’s floating LNG (FLNG) plant and floating storage units (FSU). Drydocks World will supply new-build FLNG barges and convert LNG carriers for use as FSU. Drydocks World will build the barges comprising the FLNG plant at its Dubai shipyard
Amigo LNG is preparing its social impact assessment for Mexico’s Ministry of Energy.
