This macro shock is forcing long standing buyers and emerging markets alike to radically rethink their structural exposure to a highly punitive LNG spot market. In this episode of Hub & Flow, NGI’s Christopher Lenton sits down with Sergio Chapa of Poten & Partners live from the Mexico Gas Summit in San Antonio to untangle how this high-stakes global reshuffling impacts the Americas. The conversation breaks down the rapid production startup of Sempra’s Energía Costa Azul LNG terminal in Baja California, and why localized legal hurdles mean Mexico's broader export ambitions face a slower climb than originally projected. Chapa also sheds light on Latin America’s massive, underutilized regasification, explaining why hydro-dependent nations remain dangerously exposed to high LNG spot prices during seasonal droughts, and how Argentina’s incoming floating LNG vessels could soon transform the Vaca Muerta Shale into the Western Hemisphere's next major supply wild card.","meta_description":"As critical chokepoints have frozen traditional trade routes, the global energy sector is abandoning old assumptions for a new mantra: supply diversity.
