Enterprise to expand Delaware basin network with new gas plant
HOUSTON -- Enterprise Products Partners is to build a new cryogenic natural gas processing facility and associated natural gas and natural gas liquids (NGL) pipeline infrastructure to facilitate continued growth of NGL-rich natural gas production in the Delaware basin of West Texas and southeastern New Mexico.
The site for the new processing plant, which will have a nameplate capacity of 300 MMcfd and the capability to extract more than 40,000 bpd of NGL, has yet to be determined. The project is anchored by long-term commitments from a major producer. The facility is expected to begin service in the second quarter of 2018.
“This project, which complements our ongoing growth in the region, is the third cryogenic natural gas processing plant Enterprise has announced in less than 24 months,” said A.J. “Jim” Teague, CEO of Enterprise’s general partner. “The South Eddy facility began operations earlier this year, while our joint venture processing plant at Waha is expected to begin service in the third quarter of 2016. Altogether, these initiatives are expected to increase our processing capacity in the Delaware basin to 800 MMcfd, compared to 40 MMcfd in 2012.”
In addition to providing new gas processing capabilities, the scope of the project will include construction of rich natural gas gathering lines, a residue pipeline to Waha and an NGL pipeline to Enterprise’s Mid-America Pipeline system. These assets will be designed to integrate with the rest of the company’s Delaware basin infrastructure.
