Mexico's ECA LNG Ships First Export Cargo as Feedgas Flows Falter, Wood Mackenzie Says

Mexico's Energia Costa Azul LNG terminal has exported its first cargo, a key milestone for the Sempra (SRE) facility, as operational data reveal significant volatility in its feedgas supply, Wood Mackenzie strategists said in a note on Monday.The latest vessel-tracking data from Wood Mackenzie indicates that the Pacific Success arrived at the ECA terminal on the country's Pacific coast on July 6 and departed the following day carrying a fully loaded LNG cargo.Sempra Infrastructure confirmed on July 8 that the shipment represented the project's inaugural LNG export.The consultancy said the vessel's draft increased from 9.4 meters on arrival to 11.5 meters on departure, equivalent to about 96% of its summer maximum loading capacity, indicating the cargo was loaded close to full capacity.The first export comes as operational data suggest the terminal experienced a sharp reduction in liquefaction activity during the loading period.Wood Mackenzie satellite imagery showed visible liquefaction activity beginning to slow from the July 2 gas day, with no heating signatures observed from July 3 onward.Simultaneously, nominations on the Gasoducto Rosarito pipeline supplying the liquefaction plant dropped sharply from more than 400 million cubic feet per day, where they had averaged over the previous two weeks, to 31 MMcf on July 2 and just 7 MMcf on July 4.Wood Mackenzie strategists said the decline continued in the following days. GRO later announced scheduled maintenance at its Las Dunas compressor station through July 10 and reported gas quality issues at ECA's regasification receipt point on July 1 and July 6.Feedgas deliveries, which had consistently exceeded 400 MMcf/d for several weeks, fell to zero between July 5 and July 7, according to the latest reported gas-day data tracked by Wood Mackenzie.The disruption also affected cross-border gas flows, with pipeline exports from California into Mexico declining from a two-week average of about 828 MMcf/d to below 500 MMcf/d after July 2.The consultancy said the operational indicators suggest the temporary reduction in feedgas supply was likely linked to maintenance activity and gas quality constraints rather than a broader commissioning setback.ECA is the first LNG export project on Mexico's Pacific coast. The facility is designed to process US natural gas delivered via pipeline into LNG for export to Asian and other international markets.Price: $94.77, Change: $+0.36, Percent Change: +0.38%

TotalEnergies Ships 1st Cargo From ECA LNG Phase 1 to Asia

Oil supermajor TotalEnergies (TTE) said Thursday it has shipped the first liquefied natural gas cargo from California's Energia Costa Azul LNG Phase 1 to Asia, as it serves as the facility's sole off-taker during the ramp-up phase.The facility, consisting of a 3.25-mmt single liquefaction train, is under commissioning. It is strategically located on Mexico's west coast, providing the shortest maritime route to export US natural gas to Asian markets, according to the company.TotalEnergies owns a 16.6% stake in the project and has a 20-year agreement with Sempra's (SRE) subsidiary, Sempra Infrastructure, for the annual supply of 1.7 million metric tons of LNG from the start of commercial operations.Project operator Sempra Infrastructure said that the facility will also supply LNG to Japanese firm Mitsui under a long-term sale and purchase agreement.ECA LNG Phase 1 is expected to reach "substantial" completion in the summer of this year, the statement said, while Phase 2 is under development at the same site.

Market Chatter: Sempra's Mexico LNG Plant Exports First Cargo Amid Ongoing Global Supply Crunch

Sempra Infrastructure's (SRE) Energia Costa Azul LNG project on Mexico's Pacific coast shipped its first LNG cargo on Tuesday, marking a major milestone for the project, according to ship tracking data compiled by Bloomberg.The Pacific Success LNG tanker reportedly left the plant at Ensenada in Mexico's Baja California state, with its draft level having increased, indicating that it was loaded with cargo.The terminal began producing LNG in June and joins growing cohort of projects along North America's West Coast, aimed at serving new demand from Asian customers for US LNG, as disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz reshape global trade flows.Energia Costa Azul sources natural gas from the US for liquefaction. The project's first phase has export capacity of 3.25 million metric tons per year, with a second phase under development. Long-term supply agreements have been secured with Sempra Infrastructure's joint venture partner TotalEnergies (TTE) and Japanese trading house Mitsui & Co.Sempra Infrastructure did not immediately respond to' request for a comment on this story.(Market Chatter news is derived from conversations with market professionals globally.

Mexico Poised to Launch 1st Pacific LNG Exports From Energia Costa Azul Terminal, Kpler Says

Mexico is set to begin liquefied natural gas exports from its Pacific coast for the first time, Kpler analyst Camille Klass said in a Tuesday note.The LNG tanker Pacific Success is en route to load the inaugural cargo from Sempra Infrastructure's (SRE) Energia Costa Azul terminal in Baja California.Klass said Kpler data show the TotalEnergies (TTE)-operated Pacific Success is expected to arrive near the ECA LNG terminal on Tuesday.ECA consists of a single liquefaction train and is jointly owned by Sempra Infrastructure and TotalEnergies.TotalEnergies holds a 16.6% equity stake and has contracted 1.7 million metric tons per annum of LNG from the facility, while Mitsui has long-term offtake rights for 0.8 mtpa.The expected first export comes about a month after the project began producing LNG during commissioning, following mechanical completion and the introduction of first gas.Sempra previously said it expected substantial completion during the summer, with commercial deliveries under long-term sales agreements to begin shortly afterward.The startup schedule has been closely watched after the company delayed commercial operations from an earlier spring target to complete additional quality-related inspections.The anticipated loading follows a sharp increase in feed gas deliveries to the terminal in June, signaling commissioning had entered its final stages.Kpler forecast that ECA LNG would "likely export its first LNG cargo in early-to-mid July" after feedgas flows to the plant rose to about 0.4 billion cubic feet per day in mid-June and remained at that level for several days.According to Kpler Insight, those volumes, equivalent to roughly 3 mtpa of LNG production, indicated the first export cargo was imminent.The project also began receiving gas under its long-term firm transportation agreement on the Rosarito pipeline in May, replacing earlier interruptible volumes.Kpler forecasts that the project will export about 1.14 million mt of LNG in 2026 as commissioning transitions to full commercial operations.With the start of exports, ECA will become Mexico's first LNG export terminal on the Pacific coast, providing a direct route to Asian markets without requiring transit through the Panama Canal.Mexico's only other operating LNG export project, Altamira Fast LNG in Tamaulipas on the Gulf coast, ships cargoes through the Atlantic Basin.

Market Chatter: US, Qatar Warn EU Methane Rules Could Trigger Gas Supply Shortages

The US and Qatar have warned that the European Union could face higher gas prices and supply shortages unless it changes planned methane emissions rules, the Financial Times reported Tuesday, citing a draft letter seen by it.They argue that most global oil and gas exporters would be unable to comply with the proposed requirements, which would introduce monitoring and reporting standards for methane emissions across supply chains.The warning, led by US and Qatari energy officials and sent to EU leaders ahead of an energy ministers' meeting, says there is a "narrow window" to change the rules. Algeria and Nigeria also backed the letter, according to the report.The European Commission, the US Department of Energy and Qatar's Government Communications Office did not immediately respond to' requests for comment.(Market Chatter news is derived from conversations with market professionals globally.
