  • Commercial operation is scheduled for the second half of 2027, with an investment of US$150 million.
  • The terminal will have scalable capacity up to 150 million cubic feet per day (MPCD) and will deliver gas mainly to the National Transportation System (SNT).
  • The project is expected to generate around 400 direct and indirect jobs and benefit local suppliers.
  • Environmental standards, including zero methane emissions, are a stated commitment.
