What’s Driving Mexico’s Record Natural Gas Imports?

Mexico’s imports of U.S. natural gas continue to break records despite macroeconomic and regulatory uncertainty. NGI senior editor Andrew Baker and Christopher Lenton, managing editor of Mexico and Latin America, discuss the demand- and supply-side factors shaping Mexico’s gas market, and why it matters for the United States. Lenton recently attended the U.S.-Mexico Gas Summit in San Antonio TX, where topics ranged from data centers to LNG terminals to the challenges facing state oil company Petróleos Mexicanos, aka Pemex. He breaks down which demand segments are growing fastest, and how they are affected by pricing dynamics north of the border.
