Mexico's Pemex Seeks Bids For Natural Gas Pipelines
The project includes a 230-kilometer, 30-inch pipeline from Tamazunchale to San Luis de la Paz, and a 56-kilometer 24-inch pipeline from San Luis de la Paz to San Jose Iturbide, Pemex said in a press release.
Pemex said the pipelines are expected to transport about 400 million cubic feet a day of natural gas, and that the project guarantees a minimum volume for the pipeline operators.
The pipelines, expected to go into operation in 2011, will also allow Pemex to supply fuel to power plants in central Mexico operated by state electric utility Comision Federal de Electricidad.
Bids are expected by mid-April, with the contracts to be awarded in May.
Natural gas transportation and distribution are among the areas of Mexico's state-run energy sector that are open to private and foreign investment.
