Please join the SMU Mission Foods Texas–Mexico Center and the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas for a forum examining the deepening energy relationship between Texas and Mexico.

Texas is one of the world’s largest energy-producing regions. The shale boom and prolific oil and gas production led to resumption of oil exports in 2015 following the lifting of the 40-year-old federal ban. Petrochemical and natural gas exports also surged. In fact, Mexico’s electricity production today largely relies on imports of natural gas from Texas. Texas also refines Mexican oil and returns it in the form of gasoline. Over the past decade, Texas energy trade has grown exponentially. Newly built LNG export terminals along the Gulf Coast allow the sale of low-cost U.S. natural gas into high-priced global markets. Energy trade is on the rise, and while the benefits are real, securing the energy supply chain is a growing concern.
