Strong pipeline flows from South and West Texas have driven Mexico's natural gas imports from the United States to new record highs. This trend continues as a near-record summer in cross-border gas transportation has been experienced, and new infrastructure is entering the industrial heart of Mexico.

In September 2023, natural gas imports from the United States reached over 7 billion cubic feet per day, which is considered a historic record.

Infrastructure Developments in Mexico
In response to rising demand, new pipeline projects are rapidly underway along strategic routes. These projects include the expansion of existing pipelines and the construction of new lines to northern Mexico, where large industries and manufacturing plants are located. In particular, gas fields located in Texas serve as a major source of natural gas supply for this country.
These developments indicate closer cooperation between the United States and Mexico in the energy sector and may contribute to increased economic stability and energy security in the region. Therefore, it is expected that the growing trend of natural gas imports from the United States to Mexico will continue in the coming months.
