据朱利安·哈斯特和斯科特·斯奎尔斯报道，完成相关维修工作后，金德摩根公司正在恢复其田纳西天然气管道公司向墨西哥输送天然气的服务。本周早些时候，该管道曾因故障宣布进入不可抗力状态。
Morgan Inc. is restoring natural gas shipments on its Tennessee Gas Pipeline Co. to Mexico after making repairs that triggered a force majeure earlier this week.
根据一份文件显示，田纳西天然气公司已解决了10月5日出现的问题，这些问题曾迫使公司隔离并关闭包括里奥布拉沃和塞纳加斯计量站在内的部分管道。一天后发布的不可抗力声明引发了墨西哥各界对该国过度依赖美国天然气供应的担忧。
Tennessee Gas has resolved issues identified on Oct. 5 that forced the company to isolate and shut some sections of pipe, including the Rio Bravo and Cenagas delivery meters, according to a filing. The force majeure declaration a day later sparked renewed concerns in Mexico about the nation’s dependence on US gas supplies.
对于高度依赖美国天然气供应的墨西哥电网而言，哪怕是美国对墨供气出现微小波动，都可能引发严重后果。
Even a small hiccup in US-to-Mexico gas flows can have dire consequences for an electric grid heavily reliant on its northern neighbor’s production of the fuel.
数据显示，墨西哥约75%的天然气来自得克萨斯州，该国也因此成为美国天然气的最大进口国。据彭博新能源财经统计，过去15年间，美国对墨西哥的管道天然气出口量从2010年的日均10亿立方英尺增长至如今的日均80亿立方英尺。
Roughly 75% of Mexico’s gas comes from Texas, making the country the biggest overall buyer of US supplies. American pipeline exports to Mexico have surged during the past decade and a half from about 1 billion cubic feet a day in 2010 to roughly 8 billion now, according to BloombergNEF data.
墨西哥天然气管道运营商塞纳加斯的负责人库伊特拉瓦克·加西亚透露，一旦发生供应中断，墨西哥的天然气储备仅能维持三天左右。
In the event of outages, Mexico only has about three days of gas supplies in reserves, according to Cuitlahuac Garcia, director of Mexican pipeline operator CENAGAS.
加西亚在媒体发布会上表示：“我们虽然没有天然气储气设施，但也能设法应对此类情况。”
“We don’t have storage facilities but we can find ways to manage the situation,” Garcia said during a media briefing.
加西亚还称，塞纳加斯此前收到预警称此次故障可能导致对墨供气量减少20%，这一情况在墨西哥引发了“危急局面”。
CENAGAS had received a warning that flows could be cut by up to 20% on the outage, sparking a “critical situation” in Mexico, Garcia said.
为提升国内天然气产量，墨西哥总统克劳迪娅·辛鲍姆正着手推动页岩气开采项目，不过她也对该技术的使用区域设置了限制。此外，其政府还宣布将投入约80亿美元用于新建天然气管道，以此完善国内的天然气输送网络。
Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum has launched an effort to explore fracking in a bid to increase domestic gas production, but has placed limits on where the technique can be employed. Her government has also announced around $8 billion in investment in new pipelines to shore up the country’s gas network.
