Brazos Midstream completes gas projects in southern Delaware Basin

FORT WORTH, Texas -- Brazos Midstream Holdings, LLC announced the completion of multiple crude oil and gas gathering and processing projects in the southern Delaware Basin, in the United States.

Brazos commenced operation of a new 60 MMcfd natural gas processing plant, several new compressor stations and approximately 150 mi of large diameter, low and high-pressure gas gathering pipelines. The project also included the construction of 35 mi of crude oil gathering pipelines, two crude oil storage terminals with a combined capacity of 50 Mbbl and connections to multiple downstream crude oil pipelines.

"We are excited about the high-quality assets our team has constructed over the past eighteen months," said Brad Iles, Chief Executive Officer at Brazos. "Our investment creates a franchise with enhanced midstream service offerings in one of the most economic oil and gas producing regions in the country."

The fully-operational Comanche I cryogenic natural gas processing plant and associated pipelines are located in Ward, Reeves and Pecos counties, Texas. Brazos also announced it has begun construction of a second gas processing plant ("Comanche II"), which will add 200 MMcfd of incremental processing capacity. Comanche II is expected to be operational during the first quarter of 2018 and will increase Brazos' total operated processing capacity in the Delaware Basin to 260 MMcfd.

"With multiple productive zones in and around our area of operation, we expect drilling activity and volume growth to remain strong for years to come," Iles said. "This further emphasizes the critical importance of our strategically-located platform and the timely expansion of our processing capacity."
