The company said it would develop Salina Cruz LNG in a joint venture (JV) with Houston-based affiliate GFI LNG LP, which has sold commodities in Mexico for more than 20 years.

The facility would be near Salinas Del Marqués and Salina Cruz in Oaxaca state. On the Pacific side of the Panama Canal, the facility would be positioned to supply North and Central American bunker and fuel markets, the JV said.
