Emerson awarded contract for Pemex Los Ramones pipeline system

摘要

Mexican oil and gas pipeline operator Pemex and Engie, a French energy company, have selected Emerson to help upgrade and expand Mexico's gas pipeline infrastructure. The US$8.9 million automation project is part of Mexico's energy reform initiarive. Because existing natural gas availability is expected to fall short of demand from a growing population and industrialisation, the country is increasing capacity for importing natural gas from the United States. Pemex estimates demand for natural gas will grow 3.6 per cent per year from 2012 to 2028, with total imports increasing to 3 Bcf/d. Emerson Process Management will automate the southern portion of the Los Ramones Phase II pipeline. When completed, the 291 km Los Ramones II Sur pipeline will have the capacity to deliver 1.4 Bcf/d of natural gas.
