Costa Azul LNG

Costa Azul LNG is a sea port and natural gas processing center, located 15 miles north of Ensenada, Baja California, Mexico.

Opened in 2008, the terminal can process up to one billion cubic feet of natural gas per day.

This is the first liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminal on the North America west coast.

The port was built by: Techint SA de CV of Mexico, Black & Veatch of Overland Park, KS, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries of Tokyo, Vinci Construction Grands Projects of France and Freyssinet: LNG Tank post-tensioning.

To minimize the ecological impact, some sea life was relocated and a plant nursery was built on site.
