Altamira Fast LNG 1 brings
positive energy to Mexico

We're powering Mexico with positive energy
In 2021, we began developing ways to use FLNG (Floating Liquefied Natural Gas) technology, and now, with our modular approach to FLNG, we’re setting sail with our proprietary Fast LNG solution.
Our first Fast LNG installation, FLNG1, is being deployed to Altamira, Mexico, in partnership with CFE, Mexico’s state-owned electric utility. The project will liquefy gas supplied by the Sur de Texas-Tuxpan pipeline and will help create a new FLNG hub off the east coast of Mexico.
This is a major milestone for the world of LNG and we're excited to play our part to bring cleaner, reliable and more affordable energy solutions to Mexico.

Pioneer III arrival
Pioneer III, the utilities and accommodation rig for our Fast LNG 1 unit, has arrived at its final destination! Stationed offshore of Altamira, Mexico, the arrival of Pioneer III is a significant milestone for our Fast LNG 1 project, and we're excited to be making waves in the world of LNG.

Hot tap completion
We recently completed our hot tap to the Sur de Texas-Tuxpan pipeline located offshore Altamira, Mexico. The hot tap allows natural gas to flow from the pipeline into the Fast LNG unit, where it is processed and liquefied.
