What URSUS Energy does

URSUS Energy is a privately held Mexican energy consulting and trading firm headquartered in Juriquilla, Querétaro, and led by Director Santiago Fabian Arroyo Seguedo. The company operates six service lines spanning Business Development (legal, administrative, financial, and market guidance for energy infrastructure projects from gas stations to solar parks), Energy Regulation (process management before Mexican regulatory bodies), Commercialization and Supply (hydrocarbons and energy trading through commercial allies, including investment fund management in energy commodities), Strategic Litigation and Mediation, the Ursus Gas franchise for gas station construction, and Parliamentary and Government Advisory. It serves both private sector organizations and public sector/government clients on a horizontal basis, with no pricing publicly disclosed.

Beyond consulting, URSUS Energy is positioned as a sponsor of large-scale energy infrastructure, most notably the Coatzacoalcos-PODEBIS LNG export terminal in Mexico's Interoceanic Corridor (CIIT), developed in partnership with Samsung E&A. The joint investment was scaled from an initial US$450 million first-phase figure to US$2.1 billion, targeting 2.1Mt/y of LNG export capacity for Europe, the Caribbean, and South America, with first cargo expected in late 2029 and civil works planned for summer 2026. The firm has been recognized in Petróleo&Energía magazine's Líderes 2020-2021 list and its founder was named a Capitán Empresarial by Periódico Reforma in 2020.

URSUS Energy's business model combines fee-based advisory and consulting services, trading commissions via commercial allies, franchise-related revenues from the Ursus Gas brand, and (going forward) infrastructure economics tied to the LNG terminal joint venture. The company is founder-led, single-office, and operates with no publicly disclosed headcount, customer logos, or revenue figures, making it a small advisory core wrapped around an outsized greenfield infrastructure project.

• Samsung E&AcoreStrategic or Co-development PartnerURSUS Energy and Samsung E&A announced a US$2.1 billion joint investment to develop an LNG export plant at PODEBIS Coatzacoalcos II in Mexico's Interoceanic Corridor (CIIT). The project processes nitrogen-contaminated associated natural gas that PEMEX currently flares or vents, targeting 2.1Mt/y export capacity by late 2029 for Europe, the Caribbean, and South America markets. Civil works planned to begin summer 2026. The project faces execution complexity due to unresolved concession issues from prior site operator Mota-Engil and subsurface PEMEX pipeline restrictions limiting usable surface area.
