The SPA is subject to final investment decision (FID) on the third train at the Saguaro Energia LNG Project by Mexico Pacific.

Mexico Pacific expects to take FID in the first half of 2024, with plans to start commercial operations in 2029.

Mexico Pacific president Sarah Bairstow said: “We are delighted to welcome Woodside, one of the most established global LNG market participants, as a foundation customer of Train 3, further validating the value of west coast Mexican LNG.”

In July 2023, Mexico Pacific signed a 20-year LNG supply agreement with China’s Zhejiang Energy International.

The Saguaro Energia LNG facility will have a production capacity of 15mtpa. It is due to be completed in 2026.
