ESENTIA to Buy Mexican Pipeline Firm EOM for $400 Million
Mexico City – September 21, 2026 -- ESENTIA Energy Development, S.A.B. de C.V. (BMV: ESENTIA) has agreed to acquire 100% of Energía Occidente de México, S. de R.L. de C.V. (EOM) for a gross purchase price of US$400 million, the company announced.
The deal, signed today, gives ESENTIA the approximately 313-kilometer Guadalajara-Manzanillo natural gas pipeline system, which runs from Jalisco to the Pacific port of Manzanillo, Colima.
Acquisition links Permian Basin gas supply to the Pacific coast
The Guadalajara-Manzanillo System interconnects directly with ESENTIA's existing Villa de Reyes-Aguascalientes-Guadalajara (VAG) pipeline, operated by its subsidiary Esentia Pipeline de Occidente. Upon closing, ESENTIA says it would become the only private company operating an integrated natural gas pipeline network connecting the Permian Basin in Texas to Mexico's Pacific coast.
