Texas-Tuxpan Southern Gas Pipeline

OCP has worked on electrical, electromechanical and construction projects for the Texas-Tuxpan southern gas pipeline as part of the measurement and regulation stations at Montegrande and Higueros, and has been part of projects that include Landfall Tamiahua, Landfall Altamira as well as the Altamira microtunnel comprising a 42-inch diameter gas pipeline that will transport 2,600 million cubic feet of natural gas per day. This pipeline will begin on the coast of Brownsville, Texas and continue offshore for 800 kilometers through the Gulf of Mexico, ending in Tuxpan, Veracruz.

 

The pipeline will help meet natural gas requirements for power stations in Tamaulipas and Veracruz as well as for central, Eastern and western Mexico. It will also provide service to additional power stations that operate using fuel oil and that have the potential for being converted to using natural gas.
