据原油新闻8月2日消息称，墨西哥国家电力公司周日表示，该公司已与加拿大TC能源公司达成协议，将在该国南部开发一条天然气管道，并巩固该公司在中部地区的合同。该协议似乎标志着能源公司与墨西哥之间数月的争执之后，双方罕见地达成了协议。墨西哥表示，这些公司受益于给纳税人带来不公平负担的合同。
南部的新管道将从墨西哥韦拉克鲁斯州的塔克斯潘开始，通过海上与坎佩切州和塔巴斯科州的玛雅坎管道相连。联邦电力委员会（CFE）在一份声明中表示：“该协议旨在解决墨西哥东南部和尤卡坦半岛长期缺乏天然气供应的问题。”
该协议还表示，由于担心该项目会跨越当地社区认为神圣的土地，墨西哥将加大力度帮助TC能源公司完成塔克斯潘-图拉输油管道的建设。去年，总统Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador曾建议重新铺设这条178英里(286公里)的输油管道，但该公司并未说明将如何解决这一问题。
该公司表示:“CFE已与TC能源达成协议，将在解决社会冲突和完成塔克斯潘-图拉管道方面发挥更积极的作用。”该公司还表示，将TC能源公司在墨西哥中部的合同捆绑在一起，将为该公司节省开支。

Mexico Strikes Pact with Canada’s TC Energy for Natural Gas Pipeline
Mexico's state power utility has struck a deal with Canada's TC Energy Corp to develop a natural gas pipeline in the country's south and consolidate the firm's contracts in the central region, the utility said align="justify"> The new pipeline in the south will start in Tuxpan in the Mexican state of Veracruz and run by sea to link with the Mayakan pipeline in the states of Campeche and Tabasco. "The agreement aims to solve a long-running problem of the lack of natural gas supply in the Mexican southeast and the Yucatan peninsula," the Comision Federal de Electricidad (CFE) said in a statement.
The pact also says Mexico will step up efforts to help TC Energy complete the Tuxpan-Tula pipeline after work stalled over concerns the project would cut across lands local communities consider sacred. Last year, President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador had suggested re-routing the 178-mile (286-km) pipeline, but the utility did not say how it would resolve the matter.
"The CFE has agreed with TC Energy that it will take a more active role that will allow for solving social conflicts and completing the Tuxpan-Tula pipeline," it said. Bundling together together TC Energy's contracts in central Mexico would generate savings for the utility, it added.
