Background

The pipeline owned and operated by CFE.

Opposition

Construction has been delayed due to an issue relating to ejido, a form of collective ownership, in Durango state, with a local dairy farmer filing a lawsuit in Agrarian Court against Mexican environmental agencies indicating that pipeline project developer, Fermaca. should not have been able to clear land on private property.

The pipeline was commissioned in March 2018.
