Amigo LNG

What Amigo LNG does

Amigo LNG (American Mexican Integrated Gas Operations) is a private LNG export project under development on a 150-acre deepwater site adjacent to the Port of Guaymas in Sonora, Mexico. It is being developed jointly by LNG Alliance Pte Ltd (Singapore) and Epcilon LNG LLC (Texas, USA), which holds U.S. Department of Energy FTA and non-FTA export permits. The project utilizes Floating Liquefaction Natural Gas (FLNG) architecture — the world's largest such facility — with feedstock sourced from the U.S. Permian Basin via cross-border pipeline infrastructure.

The core product is a two-train liquefaction terminal delivering 7.8 MTPA total export capacity (Train 1 nominal 3.9 MTPA / design 4.2 MTPA, Train 2 equal size). Liquefaction uses Chart Industries' IPSMR integrated process technology with modular Mega Bay heat exchangers, Tuf-Lite IV fans, brazed aluminum heat exchangers, and cold boxes; the FLNG hulls (two converted LNG carriers plus two new FLNG barges) are being fabricated by Drydocks World in Dubai under an EPC contract. The terminal's double-berth marine facilities accommodate LNG carriers up to 216,000 m³, leveraging Mexico's Pacific coast position to ship directly to Asian markets while bypassing the Panama Canal.

The business model is asset-based and project-finance-oriented: revenue is generated through long-term (15-20 year) Sales and Purchase Agreements with international LNG buyers, currently totaling approximately 3.2 MTPA of contracted volume with OQ Trading (0.6 MTPA, Oman), Sahara Group (0.6 MTPA), IRH (1 MTPA, Abu Dhabi), and 2PointZero (1 MTPA, Abu Dhabi). Pricing is structured as a tolling/fee-based model with unpublicised commercial terms. The target customer base is international utilities, energy majors, and government-linked trading houses seeking energy security, particularly in Asia and Latin America. Commercial operations for Train 1 are targeted for the second half of 2028.
