Mexico feeds energy craving with Texas pipelines

Mexico may someday realize its potential as a natural gas superpower, but in the lengthy meantime the country's gnawing energy craving may feed off Texas pipelines.

Mexico energy planners are pressing ahead with an $8 billion expansion of the country's 5,500-mile natural gas pipeline system, focusing on central and northern industrial cities.

And for the foreseeable future, they intend to fuel that network with US natural gas, including from South Texas and Eagle Ford Shale fields.
