HOUSTON — Mexico received its first shipment of liquefied natural gas, marking the commissioning phase of the nation’s first LNG regasification plant.
The cargo was delivered from Royal Dutch Shell PLC’s Bonny liquefaction plant in Nigeria to the Altamira terminal on Mexico’s northeastern coast, Shell has a 50% stake in the terminal, and Total SA and Mitsui & Co each have 25% shares. Subsequent LNG cargos will be delivered by Shell, which owns 75% of the terminal’s capacity rights, while Total has a 25% capacity stake, Shell said.
Mexico’s power authority, Comision Federal de Electricidad, is under contract to purchase 5.2 billion cubic meters, or 3.9 million tons, of regasified LNG annually from Altimira. Commercial deliveries to CFE are expected to begin in October.
Regasification terminals warm LNG back into a gaseous state for delivery via standard natural gas pipelines.
Brazil’s first LNG plant will be inaugurated Monday by state-run oil firm Petróleo Brasileiro SA, or Petrobras, and industrial gas company White Martins, Petrobras said Wednesday.
The $50 million plant in São Paulo state will liquefy a relatively small volume, 350,000 cubic meters a day. The output is slated for regions in western and southern Brazil not served by pipelines.

Royal Dutch Shell conspired directly with Hitler, financed the Nazi Party, was anti-Semitic and sold out its own Dutch Jewish employees to the Nazis. Shell had a close relationship with the Nazis during and after the reign of Sir Henri Deterding, an ardent Nazi, and the founder and decades long leader of the Royal Dutch Shell Group. His burial ceremony, which had all the trappings of a state funeral, was held at his private estate in Mecklenburg, Germany. The spectacle (photographs below) included a funeral procession led by a horse drawn funeral hearse with senior Nazis officials and senior Royal Dutch Shell directors in attendance, Nazi salutes at the graveside, swastika banners on display and wreaths and personal tributes from Adolf Hitler and Reichsmarschall, Hermann Goring. Deterding was an honored associate and supporter of Hitler and a personal friend of Goring.
Deterding was the guest of Hitler during a four day summit meeting at Berchtesgaden. Sir Henri and Hitler both had ambitions on Russian oil fields. Only an honored personal guest would be rewarded with a private four day meeting at Hitler’s mountain top retreat.
