Mexico OKs Permits for Natural Gas Terminal

ChevronTexaco de Mexico has been awarded a permit from Mexico’s Regulatory Energy Commission for a proposed natural gas import terminal off the northern coast of Baja California.

The company also received notice from the Mexican government’s Communication and Transport Secretariat, through its Port Authority, that the company is the winner of the public licensing round for an offshore concession to build and operate its offshore natural gas import terminal.

San Ramon-based ChevronTexaco announced the wins Jan. 6.

ChevronTexaco’s terminal will be located more than eight miles off Tijuana, near South Coronado Island. It will be designed with state-of-the-art safety and environmental standards, according to the company. A spokeswoman said that capital costs of the project are still being assessed.
