Background

The pipeline owned and operated by CFE. In December 2018 the project's sponsor announced that construction had been delayed and would not be complete until the second half of 2019. The pipeline was reportedly 78% complete as of the end of 2018.In September 2019 Mexican President Andrew Manuel Lopez Obrador reached a deal with seven private pipeline operators including the Carso group in which the operators agree to take 30% less in profits in exchange for changing fee structures to a single flat rate. In September 2019 it was reported that the pipeline would be completed in May 2020.
