Momentum Midstream is furthering its plans for the New Generation Gas Gathering (NG3) project near the Gillis Hub in Calcasieu Parish, LA, with an engineering, design and fabrication contract with Opero Energy.

Opero is an affiliate of Audubon Engineering Co. LLC, which was awarded the project that was sanctioned by Momentum in September.

NG3 is to include 4,000 miles of pipeline and seven processing plants. Initial treating capacity is 1.7 Bcf/d, which could be expanded to 2.2 Bcf/d. It also would include a carbon capture and sequestration component to capture and permanently sequester the associated carbon dioxide (CO2).
