Mirage Energy has inked a deal for around $300 million to develop natural gas pipelines in Puebla state in central Mexico. The deal, signed with the state and announced on June 11, 2020, involves Mirage building a set of pipelines to deliver 500MMBTU/d (million British Thermal Units per day) of gas to a series of offtakers, including the state itself and various industrial parks. Stage one will be a 46-mile pipeline connecting Pemex's compression station at San Martín to a new industrial park in Izúcar de Matamoros, Mirage said in a release, adding that it should be able to deliver gas imports at 50% of current prices. Mirage operates three pipelines in Mexico, two Progreso bidirectional lines and a third, 14-mile bidirectional duct that connects the Progreso lines to the company's Brasil storage field in Tamaulipas state. The Brasil storage field has a capacity of 786Bf3 of natural gas. Both Progreso lines are fed by company pipelines that cross the US-Mexican border close to the town of Progreso, Texas. The company's first Progeso line stretches 36 miles to Pemex's Station 19, while the second Progreso line extends 67 miles from Station 19 to the Los Ramones interconnection. The Puebla pipelines would advance central Mexico's natural gas network toward integration, promising steadier gas supplies and lower costs.
