A unit of Mexican conglomerate Grupo Carso has signed an agreement with state power utility CFE to build a gas pipeline in northern Mexico, the company said in a filing on Thursday. Carso, which is controlled by the family of Mexican billionaire Carlos Slim, said the pipeline will be 416 kilometers (258 miles) long, but did not disclose the size of the investment. The project will be a continuation of the Samalayuca-Sasabe gas pipeline in northern Mexico to the border city of Mexicali in Baja California state, the company said.
