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.
The only large-scale private network of interconnected pipelines, with commercial control and sustainable structural advantages over alternative routes.
Stable business model supported by long-term U.S. dollar contracts with strong credit-quality counterparties.
Solid growth outlook driven by a pipeline of profitable, capital-efficient projects.
Robust financial profile with investment-grade credit ratings.
Modern and safe infrastructure, recently built and aligned with top ESG, health, and safety standards.
Backed by a majority investor with proven energy-infrastructure expertise and a successful operating track record.
A key enabler of Mexico’s energy development, ready to meet the country’s future energy needs.
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.
See more
- 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.
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.
