For more than a year now,
we've been following developments related to the planned Trans-Pecos Pipeline.
The 143-mile, 42" underground pipeline would carry natural gas from producers in the Permian Basin, through the Big Bend region, and eventually to power plants in Mexico.
Companies on both sides of the U.S.-Mexico border are behind the project, with Dallas-based Energy Transfer leading the way on the American side.
