AMIGO LNG S.A. de C.V., a joint venture between U.S.-based Epcilon LNG LLC and Singapore-based LNG Alliance, has finalized a liquefied natural gas (LNG) sale and purchase agreement with Macquarie Group. The deal provides for the delivery of 0.6 million tonnes per year over a fifteen-year period. Supplies are expected to begin once the first liquefaction train comes online, scheduled for the second half of 2028.
A strategic position for exports
Located in Guaymas, Sonora, the AMIGO LNG project has direct access to gas from the U.S. Permian Basin. This location enables reduced transport times to Asian and Latin American markets while optimizing delivery costs. Project developers emphasize the logistical competitiveness of this site compared with traditional export routes.
A long-term commitment
The agreement with Macquarie Group fits into AMIGO LNG’s strategy of diversifying its customer base. For Macquarie, a major player in financial services and commodity trading, the contract secures a stable LNG supply. The contracted volumes are intended to support the client portfolio of its Commodities and Global Markets division, which delivers energy solutions to an international customer base.
Outlook for the LNG market
The 15-year contract reflects the growing interest of buyers in long-term commitments in a global market characterized by concerns over supply security. By positioning Mexico as a future LNG exporter, the AMIGO LNG project could strengthen regional competition against existing North American terminals. The volumes bound for Asia and Latin America highlight the ongoing growth in demand across these regions.
