Peru Ships LNG Cargo to Mexico

The latest LNG cargo to be loaded at the Peru LNG terminal has been dispatched to Mexico, according to PeruPetro S.A

The 173,000 m3 Ribera del Duero Knutsen departed from the Peru LNG terminal on April 14, and it is due to arrive at Mexico’s Manzanillo terminal on February 20.

The Peru LNG project includes two parts: an LNG plant with a marine terminal from which LNG is sent overseas, and a pipeline connected to the existing TgP pipeline to transport natural gas from the connection point in the mountains of Ayacucho to the LNG plant located on the coast.

Four energy companies form the PERU LNG consortium: Hunt Oil Company of the United States, with a 50% participating interest; SK Energy of South Korea, with a 20% participating interest; Repsol of Spain, also with a 20% participating interest; and Marubeni Corporation of Japan, with a 10% participating interest.
