Background
Commissioned in March 2003, Kinder Morgan's Mier-Monterrey Pipeline stretches from the border between the United States and Mexico in Starr County, Texas, to Monterrey, Mexico.[6] In 2002, Pemex signed a contract to utilize the pipeline's full original capacity of 375 million cubic feet per day (MMcfd) for a period of 15 years.[6] Starting in 2015, Kinder Morgan began studying options to expand the pipeline's capacity.[4][5][7][8] As of August 2023, the company reported the capacity as 640,000 MMBtu per day, or roughly 640 million cubic feet per day.[1] In Monterrey, the pipeline connects to the Cenagas natural gas transportation system (formerly operated by PGPB), and supplies electric generation assets including the Dulces Nombres power station.[4][6][9]
