Houston-based Enterprise Products Partners LP (NYSE: EPD) continues to expand its natural gas footprint as natural gas production and piping continues to grow in the U.S.
The midstream energy company announced June 20 it plans to build a cryogenic natural gas processing facility — its third facility announced in less than 24 months — as well as additional natural gas and natural gas liquids pipelines.
Enterprise’s target: the NGL-rich Delaware Basin in West Texas and southeastern New Mexico. The facility’s site hasn’t been determined, but the plant is expected to have a nameplate capacity of 300 million cubic feet per day and extract more than 40,000 barrels of NGL daily. The facility is expected to start up in the second quarter of 2018.
The project also includes building rich natural gas gathering lines, a residue pipeline to Texas’ Waha oil field and an NGL pipeline to Enterprise’s Mid-America Pipeline system, all of which will integrate with Enterprise’s Delaware Basin infrastructure.
