There are 3 legal proceedings preventing
AMIGO LNG from
starting its construction:
May 20, 2026
An amparo lawsuit challenges the lack of a public consultation for the project. The judge grants a definitive suspension to prevent approval of the Environmental Impact Statement (MIA). However, ASEA lies to the judge, as it had already approved an MIA in April 2026.
Nuestro Futuro's litigationSeptember 24, 2026
An amparo lawsuit grants another definitive suspension that prevents construction of the AMIGO LNG plant while the project's environmental impacts have not yet been fully assessed.
Nuestro Futuro's litigationOctober 13, 2026
The Court determined that ASEA improperly granted the MIA authorization while a judicial suspension halting the procedure was in force, so the approval is no longer valid.
CEMDA's litigationSeptember 30, 2022
Through the State Commission of Property and Concessions, Governor Alfonso Durazo signed a loan-for-use agreement (comodato) with the company AMIGO LNG to give it a 54-hectare plot of land where the use, enjoyment and benefit of the property is granted free of charge.
April 2025
The Guaymas National Port System Administration signed an assignment of rights and obligations with AMIGO LNG, ceding a 36-hectare area of maritime zone for the use, enjoyment and exploitation of the site to build the FLNG terminal.
It is important to add that
the project
does not yet have financing,
so its
construction faces yet another obstacle to getting started.
Gas exports like the one AMIGO LNG seeks to carry out are an agenda foreign to the needs of the communities of the Gulf of California and would bring serious consequences for their economy and health, and would also turn the home of the whales into a sacrifice zone.
