But every day I woke up and I went to work early, stayed there late, and by about my third year, I think I started kinda...
Rahul RavipudiGUEST
Things started just clicking a little bit, and then they clicked a little bit more and a little bit more, and by the time I was a fifth or sixth-year lawyer, I was taking the depositions of the president of Sempra Energy-

Robert MontoyaGUEST
And you have Mark Ellis, he's with MarketClear Research.
Robert MontoyaGUEST
He used to work at Oncor's parent company, Sempra.
Robert MontoyaGUEST
He's like, "Look, for utilities, the market says really it should be more like 6 to 7%," and that with the way our structure is built incentivizes building projects.
Robert MontoyaGUEST
The more you build, he says whenever you invest in a new project, uh, sh- for shareholders, that uplifts their share prices.
Jason MurrayGUEST
And then, you know, we kind of figured out like, all right, something's happened here.
Jason MurrayGUEST
Well, it turns out that it was Sempra in partnership with, I believe, Shell, that they had gotten approval or at least paid off someone to give them approval of putting in an LNG plant right where the wave was.
Jason MurrayGUEST
Because of the, what made the wave so great was that it was deep water and into shallow water in a very very like you know short distance so you had all that swell just jacking up on like this perfect um urchin infested reef but um yeah shell came down and i think i want to say like we myself greg russ worked with serge dina um that i believe it was it was wild coast
David ScalesHOST
Yeah, I think.
Housley CarrNARRATOR
Currently, there is one semi-operational LNG export terminal on the west coast of Mexico.
Housley CarrNARRATOR
The three point two five million tons per annum, four hundred forty million cubic feet per day, Energía Costa Azul, or ECA Phase One in Ensenada, Baja California State, which is co-owned by Sempra Infrastructure, with an eighty-three point four percent controlling interest, and TotalEnergies, with a sixteen point six percent stake.
Housley CarrNARRATOR
We say semi-operational because while the project produced its first LNG in June and sent out a single shipment in July, it has since been taken offline for repairs slated to be finished in Q4 2026.
Housley CarrNARRATOR
Sempra and TotalEnergies also are considering a possible twelve million tons per annum, one point two BCF per day, phase two at the ECA site but have not reached a final investment decision, or FID, to date.
Housley CarrNARRATOR
At least three other Mexican West Coast projects also remain on the drawing board, all of them still pre-FID.
Housley CarrNARRATOR
Number one, Mexico Pacific Limited's fifteen million tons per annum, two BCF per day, Saguaro Energía LNG project in Puerto Libertad.
Housley CarrNARRATOR
Number two, the two hundred thirty-nine-mile, nine hundred fifty million cubic feet per day Tarahumara Pipeline, which interconnects with Roadrunner and other pipelines at the US-Mexico border and runs south through Chihuahua State to El Encino.
Housley CarrNARRATOR
Adding compression could boost the pipe's capacity to one point one BCF per day.
