EPA awards Nuevo Midstream final GHG permit for gas processing project
The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has issued a final greenhouse gas (GHG) Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD) construction permit to Nuevo Midstream to build three gas processing plants, the agency announced today.
The facility is located in Orla, Texas, about 100 miles west of Odessa.
“This facility will help increase processing of natural gas in Texas and New Mexico,” said EPA regional administrator Ron Curry.
“The facility is an example of how providers can meet customer demand while reducing harmful greenhouse gas emissions," he added.
The project will involve the expansion of three cryogenic plants and two 1,000-gpm amine plants. It is also the first GHG PSD construction permit in Texas for carbon capture sequestration.
Additionally, the project plans to sell greenhouse gases for oil recovery operations.
The project can emit up to 568,067 tpy of CO2 annually. The additions will bring almost $300 million in capital investments for the local area, according to project officials.
