The Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management has received an application from Mexico Pacific Limited LLC (MPL). The Application requests additional long-term, multi-contract authorization to export domestically produced natural gas to Mexico in a volume up to 425.57 billion cubic feet (Bcf) per year (Bcf/yr) (1.17 Bcf per day), and to re-export 291.22 Bcf/yr (0.80 Bcf per day) of this natural gas as liquefied natural gas (LNG) to Free Trade Agreement (FTA) countries, and to Non-Free Trade Agreement (NFTA) countries.
