Question 1

Is it safe to produce LNG in Guaymas?

Accepted Answer

Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) production is an industrial activity carried out globally under strictly regulated operational and environmental safety standards. For Amigo LNG, safety is our absolute priority, and this commitment is based on three pillars:Cutting-edge technology: The project integrates equipment and solutions from leading global technology partners, such as Chart, Baker Hughes, and Honeywell. This state-of-the-art technology is specifically designed to optimize liquefaction processes, allowing us to achieve greater operational efficiency and mitigate the carbon footprint compared to conventional processes.Comprehensive risk design: Safety was the central axis from the engineering stage. The project incorporates specialized risk identification and assessment studies, automatic protection systems, early detection, and emergency response plans, designed primarily to safeguard people's integrity, protect community health, and preserve the natural environment of our region.Regulatory compliance and global standards: We operate under a strict culture of compliance. The project rigorously complies with applicable Mexican regulations (including ASEA regulations) and adopts international standards of the energy industry that ensure comprehensive safety throughout all stages of the project, prioritizing at all times the well-being of the residents of Guaymas and Empalme.

Question 2

What safety measures does Amigo LNG have?

Accepted Answer

For Amigo LNG, safety is not only a priority; it is our fundamental value. For this reason, the project has been designed under a "defense in depth" approach, which means that we do not depend on a single measure, but rather on multiple independent layers of protection designed to prevent incidents, detect them immediately, and respond with full effectiveness.Our integrated safety system includes:Continuous assessment: Specialized and rigorous studies for risk identification and management from the design stage.Immediate response technology: Automatic safety and emergency shutdown systems, as well as early gas and fire detection.Protection infrastructure: Advanced containment measures and physical barriers for operational control.Trained equipment and personnel: We have specialized emergency response equipment and permanent training, drill, and operational protocol programs.
These measures are not isolated; they form an integrated system designed to safeguard people's integrity, community well-being, and environmental conservation throughout all stages of the project.

Question 3

Which government authorities are responsible for overseeing the safety of the AMIGO LNG project?

Accepted Answer

Amigo LNG safety is not only an internal management matter, but also a rigorous process subject to constant supervision and verification by different federal and maritime authorities throughout all stages of the project.Our operations are comprehensively supervised by:ASEA (Agency for Safety, Energy and Environment): Responsible for ensuring industrial safety, operational safety, and environmental protection throughout the hydrocarbons sector.SEMARNAT (Ministry of Environment and Natural Resources): Responsible for strict follow-up and compliance with all our environmental commitments.STPS (Ministry of Labor and Social Welfare): Responsible for supervising compliance with all occupational health and safety standards for our workers.SEMAR (Mexican Navy) and Port Authorities: Responsible for supervising and coordinating all maritime operations to ensure safety in the port and surrounding areas.
Compliance with these supervision processes is a mandatory requirement that the project addresses with full transparency during construction and operation.

Question 4

Are there similar LNG terminals operating in other countries?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) is a proven and widely used solution in the global energy market. Today, hundreds of LNG liquefaction, storage, regasification, and export terminals and facilities operate safely, under strict regulatory standards, in countries such as the United States, Canada, Spain, France, Italy, the United Kingdom, Germany, Japan, South Korea, China, Australia, Qatar, Nigeria, and many others.These facilities are essential for ensuring energy supply to homes, industries, transportation, and power generation worldwide. This broad operating experience, accumulated over decades, has made it possible to establish the high international safety and environmental protection standards that we are rigorously applying to our project in Guaymas.
