Mexico energy firms race to add pipeline capacity

摘要

Mexico City—A tale of two pipelines pits Mexico’s two state energy monopolies into competition that is expected to involve investments of more than $6 billion. But while contracts in one case are advancing smoothly, the other appears to have met a hitch.
