Mexico’s Fuel Market Is Open, But the Imports Aren’t Flowing
Mexico has since awarded permits to import a combined 135.6 billion liters (853 million barrels) of gasoline and diesel.
Mike Howard, Howard Energy Partners’ chief executive officer, said in an interview that the San Antonio, Texas-based company will invest in security and technology as it looks to build a 287-mile cross-border refined product pipeline network from Corpus Christi, Texas, to northern Mexico.

U.S. petroleum product exports continue to increase
Exports of distillate fuel oil represent the largest component of U.S. petroleum product exports, and averaged 1.19 million b/d in 2015, an increase of 85,000 b/d from 2014. The United States exported distillate fuel to 88 different countries in 2015. The top destination for U.S. distillate exports was Mexico, averaging 143,000 b/d in 2015, an increase of 15,000 b/d from the previous year.
Motor gasoline was the second-largest U.S. petroleum product export in 2015, averaging 618,000 b/d and exported to 102 different countries, up 68,000 b/d from 2014. As with distillate, Mexico is the largest recipient of U.S. motor gasoline exports, averaging 307,000 b/d in 2015.

US shale gas producers bet Mexico is next bonanza
They are laying steel pipes, some beneath the Rio Grande riverbed, to export billions of cubic feet more US shale gas to markets in Nuevo León, Guanajuato and other Mexican states.
The shipments could quietly uncork a glutted US market, rivalling volumes of much-hailed new liquefied natural gas (LNG) exports from the coasts.
Bigger gas sales to Mexico could not come soon enough for energy producers. The warmest winter on record left 2.5tn cubic feet of gas in US storage, the most ever for the end of the heating season. The US Energy Information Administration believes gas prices will average $2 per million British thermal units this year, the cheapest since 1998.
For Mexico, gas imports will feed power plants that are switching from oil as a generation fuel and answer a government drive to lower manufacturers’ electricity costs. Natural gas is used for 60 per cent of the country’s power generation, Goldman Sachs says.
Eyeing an expanding market, investors have ploughed money into pipelines to Mexico, encouraged by reforms ending an eight-decade-old state energy monopoly.
Last month Oneok Partners, a US pipeline group, and Fermaca, a Mexican gas infrastructure company, finished the first phase of the Roadrunner pipeline linking the Permian basin of west Texas to the border. A second phase under construction will bring Roadrunner’s capacity to 570m cu ft/d.
This summer the Los Ramones II pipeline is set to open with 1.4bn cu ft/d of capacity, bringing gas from Texas’s Eagle Ford shale to Mexico City’s doorstep.
“It’s critical infrastructure for Mexico as it shifts from burning diesel fuel to ultimately using natural gas” to generate more power, says Mark Florian, head of the infrastructure fund at First Reserve, an investor in the Los Ramones II pipeline.
Maps on this website give some idea where pipelines are running.
“At the end of the day it’s quite likely that Mexico will be Texas’s largest energy trading partner, far larger than Louisiana or even California,” Mr Hopper told the Houston forum.
