Arroyo Midstream Partners LLC, a unit of Canyon Midstream Partners LLC, and Goodrich Petroleum Co. LLC have struck an agreement for acreage in Louisiana and Mississippi that is prospective for the Tuscaloosa Marine Shale (TMS). Arroyo is currently providing Goodrich with wellhead gas processing services at two recently completed wells in southwestern Mississippi and expects to add gas processing facilities to process gas volumes from an additional two wells by the end of 2013. Goodrich recently said it is stepping up its activity in the TMS (see Shale Daily, Aug. 8). The wellhead processing approach allows Canyon, through Arroyo, to participate in the delineation phase of exploration and production projects and share formation risk with its partner. Arroyo is a joint venture of Canyon and Gas Processors Inc. “The partnership of Canyon and GPI is a unique combination of engineering, operational and local expertise to provide producers with the midstream services required for the development of acreage in the TMS,” said Canyon President Michael Walsh.
