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.

TotalEnergies Taken to Court by Environmental Groups Over Nigeria Oil Asset Sale

Environmental charity Friends of the Earth France and several other non-profit organizations are taking French energy major TotalEnergies (TTE) to court to obtain clarity on "opaque" sale terms regarding oil assets in the Niger Delta, it said Wednesday.Friends of the Earth France, along with Hawkmoth, HEDA Resource Centre and Social Action, have turned to a Paris judicial tribunal for clarification on the terms of Total's divestment in the Renaissance joint venture in Nigeria to verify whether the company has complied with its duty of vigilance."While the Niger Delta is known to be ravaged by oil exploitation, no information has been made public regarding the guarantees provided for addressing environmental damage and compensating affected people," the statement said."The documents, requested through summary proceedings and "before any legal action," would allow organizations to verify whether Total has complied with its duty of vigilance."About 9-13 million barrels of hydrocarbons have been spilled in the Niger Delta between 1958 and 2010 by oil companies, rendering its land unusable and water unfit for consumption, the statement said.As per the French law on the duty of vigilance, TotalEnergies is required to show that selling its stake will not further harm the people living near its oil and gas extraction sites and that adequate remediation are in place.According to the statement, a gradual withdrawal of established energy companies like Shell (SHEL), Total, and Eni from the region is hurting clean-up efforts and the future of affected populations.In March last year Shell sold its subsidiary Shell Petroleum Development Company, operator of the oil and gas assets held by the SPDC joint venture, to Renaissance Africa Energy, which is now its operator.The company has contributed to significant hydrocarbon pollution of the Niger Delta over the last 30 years, the statement said.Shell argues on its website, in detailing a case it is fighting in England over Niger Delta pollution, that illegal oil theft and illegal refining caused most of the spillage, that it has cleaned it up regardless and obtained Nigerian certification of this.Total subsidiary TotalEnergies EP Nigeria in January reached an agreement for the sale of its 10% stake in the Renaissance JV to Nigerian consortium, Vaaris, while ENI is also looking to sell its stake."This withdrawal of major European oil companies, conducted in complete secrecy, is causing serious concern among those most directly affected, as well as local and international associations: no information has been provided regarding guarantees for the remediation of polluted areas and compensation for those affected. The cleanup of the region could therefore be jeopardized," the statement said.

TotalEnergies Sells Minority Stake in Malaysia's Marjoram Gas Field to Inpex for $350 Million

French energy major TotalEnergies (TTE) has divested its minority interest in Malaysia's Marjoram gas field to Japanese peer Inpex for $350 million, according to a statement on Thursday.TotalEnergies has sold its 85% interest in Block 2E offshore Malaysia, which represents an 8.5% minority non-operated interest in the gas project now being developed, the French company said in a statement."Through this transaction, TotalEnergies crystallizes the full value of this minority interest in a non-operated gas project, to focus on its operated portfolio and strategic growth opportunities in Malaysia," it said.The transaction aligns with the company's strategy of actively managing its portfolio and prioritising material positions to support the development of low-cost, low-emission projects, said Nicolas Terraz, President of Exploration & Production.Malaysia serves as a strategic platform for the company's low-cost, low-emission growth strategy, with the Jerun field now on stream and amid a large portfolio of opportunities, Terraz said.TotalEnergies, which has been present in Malaysia since 1985, has operated and non-operated interests in 17 offshore blocks off the coast of Sarawak and Sabah.The company is the third-largest gas producer in the country and also markets petroleum products via its subsidiary TotalEnergies Marketing Malaysia, the statement said.In 2023, TotalEnergies entered into an agreement with Petronas and Mitsui for the development of a carbon-dioxide storage project in Southeast Asia and to review potential sites in the Malay Basin.In April this year, the company disclosed a $2.2 billion joint venture with Masdar for the acceleration of renewable energy in Asia, especially Malaysia, the statement said.

TotalEnergies Caps Fuel Prices Across Rural Stations During Peak Travel Season

TotalEnergies (TTE) said Tuesday it will cap gasoline and diesel prices at 1.99 euros ($2.27) per liter across 1,200 of its rural service stations in France during July and August, extending a measure aimed at shielding motorists from higher fuel costs during the busy summer travel season.The company said the price ceiling will also apply at all of its motorway service stations, during five peak holiday travel weekends spanning July and August.It noted that rural areas are often slower to benefit from declines in fuel prices, because many local stations build up their inventories at higher prices, and given the low consumption levels, it takes a while before lower costs are passed on to consumers.The price cap is aimed at addressing this issue, across its 1,200 rural service stations, which the company said was part of its initiative to provide more affordable energy to consumers during peak travel seasons.

TotalEnergies Wins Major Climate Lawsuit, Ordered to Expand Emissions Disclosure

TotalEnergies (TTE) secured a significant judicial victory on Thursday after a Paris court rejected attempts by activists and the City of Paris to force the company to halt new oil and gas developments or slash production volumes.The Paris Judicial Court ruled that France's duty of vigilance law does not hold companies liable for climate risks arising from "all human activity on the planet since the industrial revolution."The court also said it was not within its remit to set emissions reduction targets for the energy firm, stating that "it is not for the court to set TotalEnergies the target to be reached to prevent or mitigate the negative climate impacts resulting from its activity".The ruling marks a setback for environmental campaigners who had sought to use France's 2017 duty of vigilance legislation to compel the oil major to align its business strategy more closely with climate goals.TotalEnergies said it has reduced emissions from its operated assets, known as Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions, by 28% since 2015, including a 65% reduction in methane emissions since 2020.However, the Paris Judicial Court asked TotalEnergies to update its vigilance plan to include Scope 3 emissions, and the company said it will revise the plan, drawing on its sustainability report, while assessing its next steps.TotalEnergies said it is pursuing investments in electricity and biofuels to help customers lower their carbon footprints and is targeting a 25% reduction in the carbon intensity of energy products sold by 2030, compared with 2015 levels.The French energy major said it had achieved an 18% reduction by the end of 2025.The company argued that reductions in customer emissions also depend on consumer and investment decisions, including the adoption of electric vehicles, heat pumps and low-carbon fuels such as E90 ethanol blends.Price: $78.08, Change: $-0.20, Percent Change: -0.26%
