Liberty Energy Considers the Effects of the Mexican Natural Gas Shortage
19 Settembre 2012 - 3:00PM
Liberty Energy Corp. (OTCBB:LBYE)
("Liberty" or "the Company") understands that
Mexico is facing a growing shortage of natural gas as production
expands at a tepid pace and demand continues to rise dramatically.
The Company understands that Petroleos Mexicanos (Pemex),
Mexico's state-sponsored oil and gas monopoly, has begun cutting
natural gas supplies to some of its largest customers by as much as
45 percent of their orders to cope with ballooning demand from
households to steelmakers such as Ternium SA and ArcelorMittal.
Pemex has largely failed to tap into the country's abundant
natural gas reserves, forcing it to quickly increase imports from
the well-stocked U.S. in order to meet demand.
Sources confirm that the country's existing gas pipelines are
operating around 95 percent, trying to cover the shortfall, but
many businesses have been forced to work through outages that can
last for hours at a time.
In response, two new gas pipelines are being rushed through
planning that would connect central Mexico with Texas and Arizona,
where plentiful gas supplies would welcome an outlet.
"The shortage of natural gas is affecting both companies and
homeowners. We've heard that in some plants, gas supply has been
reduced 40 percent to 45 percent of what was originally agreed.
Liberty's decision to build an asset base in Texas, a stable
economic and political arena, is set to bear fruit. We have noticed
a rising demand for safe onshore projects around our operations
sites. We are looking to fully develop our new leases as soon as
possible and have plans to expand our acreage further in the not
too distant future," commented Ian Spowart, CEO and President of
Liberty Energy Corp. For more information on the activities of the
