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, FLNG 1, is deployed in 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.
First Gas
We achieved First Gas, a major milestone for our Fast LNG 1 unit. First Gas begins at a subsea pipeline ~2km away from the rig, where the gas then travels up the risers and into our meter system.

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.
