Leader in natural gas transportation infrastructure in Mexico

As the developer, owner, and operator of the country’s largest private interconnected system, the Wahalajara System, we transport natural gas from the Waha basin in Texas to Mexico’s main industrial hubs through more than 2,000 km of strategic infrastructure.

Our integrated approach spans natural gas marketing; pipeline and compression-station operations and maintenance; and a broad suite of specialized services for industrial customers, including natural gas imports, temporary storage management, gas loans, and optimization of reserved transportation capacity, among others.

Competitive Strengths

Our position in the energy sector is built on structural, operational, and financial advantages that set us apart. These strengths allow us to operate with resilience today and project sustainable growth going forward.

Powering key sectors that propel regional growth

Natural gas is widely used across industries for its efficiency, availability, and cost.

  • Power generation: Used in thermal power plants to produce electricity with
    cleaner emissions than coal or fuel oil.
  • Chemical and petrochemical: Feedstock for fertilizers (urea, ammonia), plastics, methanol, and other compounds.
  • Steel and metallurgy: Fuel for high-temperature furnaces used in smelting and heat treatment of metals.
  • Glass and ceramics: Fuel for kilns due to high calorific value and clean combustion that avoids product-quality contaminants.
  • Food & beverage: Thermal processes such as drying, pasteurizing, baking, and sterilizing, as well as facility heating.
  • Automotive industry: Used for energy generation in manufacturing processes such as paint ovens, part drying, and heat treatment.
  • Cement: Heat source in clinker production, providing efficient heat with lower emissions than other fuels.
  • Textiles: Used in boilers, dryers, and dyeing processes requiring precise thermal control.
  • Data centers: Reliable energy backbone for continuous, interruption-free power supply.
  • LNG export and storage: Essential feedstock for liquefaction and maritime transport.
  • Mining: Fuel for on-site power generation and for boilers, furnaces, and dryers in processes like drying and smelting.

Connecting Mexico’s industrial present with a sustainable energy future

Natural gas plays a strategic role in the country’s energy transition as a reliable, efficient fuel with a smaller carbon footprint than other fossil fuels.

Lower environmental impact:

Emits less (CO₂) and pollutants than coal or fuel oil.

High energy efficiency:

A reliable, efficient source for power generation and industrial processes.

Availability and competitiveness:

Broad availability and more economical than other energy sources.

Support for the transition:

Enables an orderly shift to clean energy by replacing more polluting fuels while renewable and storage technologies scale.

A growth story

Founded in 1995 following energy-sector regulatory reforms that enabled private
participation in natural gas transportation and storage. Since then, we have operated with a clear purpose: to support industrial development and strengthen the country’s energy security.

Over more than two decades, we have expanded our footprint to become one of Mexico’s leading private natural gas transportation operators. Our growth is grounded in operational excellence, innovation, and a long-term vision.

In 2014, Partners Group, a global private-markets investment firm, acquired a majority equity stake. This milestone launched a phase of institutional growth focused on strengthening capabilities, extending reach, and amplifying our impact on the national energy landscape.

Vision

Our role goes beyond transporting natural gas: we build and operate infrastructure that drives the country’s transformation and improves quality of life for communities, employees, customers, and investors.

This purpose guides every action we take, with a firm focus on safety, operational excellence, and environmental stewardship.

We envision a future where our infrastructure underpins Mexico’s sustainable growth.We aim to be the benchmark in natural gas transportation and marketing, creating tangible, long-lasting value for current and future generations.

To realize this vision, we rely on the values that define how we work and relate:

  • Excellence: An unwavering pursuit of quality, safety, and exceptional service.
  • Commitment: We operate as one team to overcome challenges and achieve goals with
    determination and professionalism.
  • Resilience: We turn every challenge into a chance to learn, grow, and strengthen
    operations.
  • Respect: We foster an inclusive, ethical, transparent environment that values diversity
    and integrity.
  • Responsibility: We recognize the impact of our decisions and work to advance
    sustainable development for all stakeholders.

Corporate Governance

We are listed on the Mexican Stock Exchange (BMV). Corporate Governance is thevfoundation that ensures transparency, accountability, and ethics in our management.

A solid governance framework reinforces investor confidence while ensuring compliance with Mexican laws and regulations. This commitment to best practices enables sustainable growth and a clear, stable relationship with the market.

Our
Assets

We supply approximately 15% of Mexico’s daily natural gas demand

We are a cornerstone of Mexico’s infrastructure and a critical element of the national energy supply.

Our integrated pipeline system has unique access to the Waha basin—the most cost-efficient natural gas source for Mexico—enabling us to deliver low-cost natural gas to major regional demand centers.

We own:

  • An interconnected system of five pipelines known as the Wahalajara System
  • An additional pipeline not directly connected to the Waha System
  • Five compression stations
  • One booster/compression unit

Our integrated pipeline system has unique access to the Waha Basin, which is the cheapest natural gas source for our country, allowing us to supply low-cost natural gas to some of the major regional demand centers.
