Mexico aims for Atlantic Basin FLNG success

Rapid development of significant GoM gas deposit may yet be outpaced by a quicker pipeline solution

Nasdaq-listed New Fortress Energy (NFE) has finalised agreements with Mexican NOC Pemex to develop the Lakach gas field as a fast-tracked floating liquefaction (FLNG) plant off the coast of Veracruz in southeastern Mexico. But it may not even be NFE’s first Mexican east coast FLNG project to contribute additional volumes into the Atlantic basin. Lakach production is set to start in the first quarter of 2024 and reach a plateau of 300mn ft³/d (8.5mn m³/d) for ten years. With reserves of c.900bn ft³, the deepwater field is “one of the largest non-associated gas fields in the Gulf of Mexico”, according to NFE. There is also the potential for expansion tying in the nearby Kunah and Piklis fields
