The original 130-kilometer section of the Tamazunchale Gas Pipeline, running from Naranjos to Tamazunchale, began operating in December 2006. The 240-kilometer extension, running from Tamazunchale to El Sauz, was completed in November 2014.[2]
The Naranjos – Tamazunchale section of the pipeline is 30 inches in diameter, while the Tamazunchale – El Sauz is 30 to 36 inches in diameter.[2] The combined length of both sections is 370 km (230 mi), with a total capacity of 1455 million cubic feet per day, or 15 billion cubic meters per year.[3]
