Nigerian energy powerhouse Sahara Group has clinched a landmark 20-year LNG supply agreement with Mexico’s Amigo LNG in a deal that signals a major shift in global natural gas trade patterns. Starting in 2028, Sahara will deliver 0.6 million tons of liquefied natural gas annually, sourced from Amigo’s cutting-edge Guayamas export facility currently under construction on Mexico’s Pacific coast.
The state-of-the-art Guayamas terminal, slated to become a cornerstone of North American LNG exports, will boast an impressive 7.8 million tons capacity across two production trains of 3.9 million tons each. Industry insiders note this facility could transform Mexico’s role in global energy markets, pivoting the country from an importer to a significant exporter of natural gas.
This strategic partnership positions Sahara Group to channel valuable LNG resources to high-growth markets throughout Asia-Pacific and Latin America, representing a major milestone in the Nigerian company’s global expansion strategy. Energy analysts suggest the deal could serve as a template for future South-South energy cooperation, creating new trade routes that bypass traditional Western intermediaries while strengthening economic ties between Africa and Latin America.
