Tall Oak unveils second gas gathering, processing system in STACK play

Oklahoma City, Oklahoma-based Tall Oak Midstream (Tall Oak) has announced that initial natural gas gathering operations are underway on the Tall Oak STACK system.

STACK is an acronym for the Sooner Trend, the Anadarko Basin and Oklahoma’s Canadian and Kingfisher counties.

The Tall Oak STACK system serves producers targeting the STACK play’s liquids-rich zones including the Upper and Lower Mississippian Meramec, Osage, Woodford Shale and Hunton formations.

The system will also have the capacity to serve production from the Woodford and Springer shale plays and other portions of the south central Oklahoma oil province, known as the SCOOP.

The system is anchored by long-term gathering and processing agreements with exploration and production companies Felix Energy, LLC (Felix) and PayRock Energy, LLC (PayRock), which control more than 100,000 net acres in the STACK play.

The initial STACK system will consist of 150 mi of high- and low-pressure natural gas gathering pipeline, multiple compressor stations and the Chisholm Plant, the system’s first cryogenic processing plant that will have with the capacity to process 100 million MMcfd.

The plant can accommodate future expansions that could bring total processing capacity to 400 MMcfd to serve expanding production, the company said.

Tall Oak is also building a natural gas gathering and processing system to serve producers in Oklahoma’s central northern Oklahoma Woodford play, known as the CNOW play. The CNOW system consists of 250 mi of gas gathering pipeline and the Battle Ridge Plant, a 75 MMcfd cryogenic processing facility with nitrogen rejection capabilities.

Tall Oak said it expects to bring the Payne County, Oklahoma, plant into service by the end of January.
