Salina Cruz LNG Terminal (Pilot/GFI) at 16.1600° N, 95.2099° W, with 3 tracked gas pipelines passing within 25 km.

Loads about 250 kB of map code and the country outline file.

Tracked pipelines whose route passes within 25 km of this terminal, or whose name matches it. Proximity is not proof of a physical connection.

Pipeline	Status	Length	Capacity	Distance	Matched by
Interoceanic Corridor Gas Pipeline	Proposed	247 km	1.53 bcm/y	1 km	route proximity
Jáltipan-Salina Cruz Gas Pipeline	Operating	247 km	0.92 bcm/y	5.7 km	route proximity
Sistema Nacional de Gasoductos (SNG)	Operating	8,611 km	51.1 bcm/y	5.7 km	route proximity

Liquefaction trains explained
A liquefaction train is one complete, self-contained refrigeration line that chills treated natural gas until it condenses, and a large modern train produces roughly 5 to 8 million tonnes of LNG a year.
Mtpa, bcm and cubic metres
LNG capacity is quoted in three incompatible units, and the two conversions that matter are 1 million tonnes a year equals about 1.36 billion cubic metres of gas a year, and 1 cubic metre of liquid equals about 600 cubic metres of gas.
What terminal status actually means
A project status describes how far an LNG terminal or train has progressed, and the gap between proposed and operating is the single most misread number in the industry.
How LNG works
Liquefied natural gas is natural gas chilled to about minus 162 degrees Celsius, at which point it becomes a liquid roughly 600 times smaller than the gas, so it can be shipped where no pipeline runs.
