Exterran, Xplorer to develop new SCOOP shale gas processing project

Exterran has signed an agreement with Woodford Express, a subsidiary of Xplorer Midstream, for a major natural gas processing project designed to provide 210 million cubic feet/day (MMcfd) of natural gas processing capacity, the companies announced this week.

The new project will be located at Woodford’s Grady County natural gas processing facility, which is in the emerging South Central Oklahoma Oil Province (SCOOP) shale play.

Pursuant to the agreement, Exterran will provide and install natural gas processing and compression equipment and deliver engineering, procurement and construction management services.

“Our relationship with Woodford is very important to Exterran. We are pleased to strengthen our relationship with Xplorer, and we look forward to continuing to serve them in the SCOOP play.” said William Sayre, vice president of product lines and marketing at Exterran.

“We are pleased to have been selected as the single source of equipment and services for this project and are confident that our turn-key project management expertise will result in long-term operational success for Woodford.”

Located near Lindsay, Oklahoma, the first phase of the Grady plant is expected to be completed in late 2014 and will provide an initial natural gas processing capacity of 60 MMcfd.

By mid-2015, Woodford’s natural gas processing capacity will increase by 150 MMcfd with the addition of a second processing train. The Grady plant has been designed to accommodate two additional 200 MMcfd processing trains.

“We are excited to be providing an array of midstream services, tailored to meet our customers’ needs, within the world-class SCOOP play,” said Roger Farrell, CEO of Xplorer.

“Grady Plant Trains 1 and 2 will provide much-needed natural gas processing capacity for SCOOP production by mid-2015, and we are pleased to be working with Exterran on this significant project.”
