ONEOK Inc. has filed a Presidential Permit application with the US Federal Energy Regulatory Commission for its Saguaro Connector natural gas pipeline subsidiary to build and operate a new border crossing into Mexico from Hudspeth County, Tex.
The proposed 2.8-bcfd Saguaro Connector would use 155 miles of 48-in. OD pipe to transport Permian basin gas carried by ONEOKs existing 777-MMcfd WesTex intrastate pipeline and other sources to Mexico. A pipeline being developed on the Mexican side of the border will carry the gas to the west coast for liquefaction and export.
ONEOK expects to take final investment decision on Saguaro Connector by mid-2023.
