TAG Ramones II Sur Gas Pipelines

The ICA Fluor joint venture was awarded a contract by TAG Pipelines Sur S. De R.L. de C.V. for the Ramones II Sur Gas Pipeline project in Mexico. The pipeline will be built through the states of San Luis Potosi, Queretaro, and Guanajuato in Mexico.

ICA Fluor will provide engineering, procurement, construction, testing, commissioning, and start-up services on the project.

Client's Challenge

TAG Pipelines Sur is a joint venture between Mexico Power and Gas Ventures B.V., a wholly owned subsidiary of GDF Suez, P.M.I. Holdings B.V. and TAG Pipelines S. de R.L. de C.V., an affiliate of Mex Gas Supply and Mex Gas Enterprises (affiliates of Pemex Gas).

The pipeline project is a segment of the integrated Los Ramones transportation system, part of a strategy to supply central Mexico with natural gas imported from the United States. This project is the third phase of a transportation system that runs from the U.S.-Mexico border to Apaseo el Alto, Guanajuato. As a result of the increasing need for natural gas availability and distribution in different regions in Mexico, the project is expected to have a large impact on Mexico's industry and economy.

Fluor's Solution

ICA Fluor will be responsible for the engineering, procurement, construction, testing, commissioning and start-up services of a 291.7-kilometer-long, 42-inch diameter pipeline with one compression station (for a total capacity of 1,420 MMCFD).

The project is located in the southern portion of the Los Ramones Phase II gas transportation system. The system is scheduled for completion in the second quarter of 2016.
