The proposed pipeline will connect HEP’s Webb County Hub in Webb County, Texas, US, to Escobedo, Nuevo León, Mexico and the Mexican National Pipeline System (Sistema Nacional de Gasoductos) in Monterrey.
Howard Energy Partners chairman and CEO Mike Howard said: "By expanding transportation services off of our Webb County Hub and developing a new pipeline directly to Monterrey, we can provide northern Mexico’s industrial centres with access to the most competitively-priced gas in the country, while giving South Texas producers access to several new, growing markets."
Commissioning of the Nueva Era pipeline is likely to be done in July 2017.
HEP is currently accepting non-binding indications of interest for the pipeline use.
