LNG SIMPLIFIED
A M I G O : American Mexican Integrated Gas Operations
Amigo LNG is an LNG liquefaction terminal under development on Mexico’s west coast in Guaymas, Sonora. The first train is designed to deliver 3.9 MTPA of nominal capacity (4.2 MTPA design capacity), with provisions for a second train of equal size, bringing the total export capacity to 7.8 MTPA. Designed as a FLNG facility, Amigo LNG combines a compact environmental footprint with best-in-class U.S. liquefaction technology. Feed gas is sourced from the prolific U.S. Permian Basin and transported to Mexico via existing cross-border pipeline infrastructure. Situated on a 150-acre site with deepwater ocean frontage next to Port of Guaymas, the project offers double berth marine facilities capable of berthing LNG carriers of up to 216,000 m³. Amigo LNG delivers a highly competitive commercial solution and long-term energy security to Asian and Latin American buyers. The project is developed by LNG Alliance Pte Ltd Singapore; Epcilon LNG LLC USA.
​
Amigo LNG is committed to following and implementing all regulatory frameworks applicable to natural gas liquefaction facilities in Mexico. The design and implementation of LNG projects abide by the regulatory framework of SENER, ASEA and CNE. Amigo LNG has performed and delivered a comprehensive SIA, as well as the corresponding social management plans. Amigo LNG, through its parent company Epcilon LNG LLC, Texas, holds the FTA and non-FTA permits from the U.S. Department of Energy. Amigo LNG has also secured the Maritime Concession from SEMAR Mexico. In addition, Amigo LNG proactively engages with environmental, maritime, and safety authorities to ensure alignment with international standards such as IMO, API, ISO and EU sustainability frameworks. This integrated, best-in-class approach ensures that Amigo LNG not only meets but exceeds regulatory expectations, setting a benchmark for responsible LNG development in Mexico.
Amigo LNG considers it a duty to consult with its surrounding communities across the entire life cycle of the LNG plant from concept, through to development and operation. According to Amigo’s principled approach, community empowerment is much more than the involvement, participation or engagement of communities. It believes that communication plays a vital role in ensuring community empowerment. Furthermore, participatory approaches in communication that encourage discussions and debates result in increased knowledge and awareness. The goal for Amigo, is to make sure that the development benefits all and ensures a win-win situation for all stakeholders. It means working alongside local communities, investing in local infrastructure and addressing and finding solutions to the specific, unique concerns of each community.
Health, Safety, Environment and Quality (HSEQ) matters are fully integrated as our core values within our business management and operations management responsibilities. As per the current legislation, guidance, industry standards, best practice and other national and regional requirements, we set corporate objectives and targets aligned to the delivery of our corporate strategic plan. A proactive approach will be undertaken to develop the project in full coordination with the local communities throughout the project concept, development and operation phases.
