Mexico's Topolobampo Pipeline to enter service H2 July, bring gas to Sinaloa for first time

摘要

TransCanada’s 670 MMcf/d El Encino-Topolobampo pipeline will begin commercial operations in the second half of July, bringing gas to Sinaloa for the first time in the state’s history, Mexico’s Energy Secretary Pedro Joaquin Coldwell said Tuesday. “This gas pipeline has been completed. It might not be visible, but it will create a large push to the economic activity in Mexico’s northwestern region,” Coldwell said at an event in Mexico City. A representative from the communication’s office of Mexico’s Energy Secretariat told S&P Global Platts on the sidelines of the event that TransCanada has begun testing the pipeline, and it is expected to be ready for commercial operations in late July.
