Brief — EagleClaw Midstream
EagleClaw Midstream Ventures LLCagreed to acquire PennTex Permian LLC from PennTex Midstream Partners LLC. Primarily located in Reeves County, TX, PennTex Permian’s assets include a cryogenic processing plant with 60 MMcf/d capacity, about 90 miles of gathering pipeline and about 35 miles of condensate pipeline. The assets are supported by long-term dedications of more than 75,000 acres. Closing is expected during the third quarter. EagleClaw plans to connect the PennTex system to its East Toyah System, bringing the company’s processing capacity to 120 MMcf/d and gathering pipeline to more than 200 miles served by nine field compressor stations with a total of 20,000 hp of compression. The combined systems serve producers in the Permian’s Delaware Basin targeting stacked pay zones including the Upper and Middle Wolfcamp, Bone Spring and the Avalon Shale formations. EagleClaw also has broken ground on an additional processing plant to serve the region. “Given the Delaware Basin’s stacked pay potential, we believe Reeves County may contain the largest inventory of profitable wells in the U.S. We’re seeing great production and drilling results paired with economics that make sense, even through the downturn,” said EagleClaw CEO Bob Milam.
Briefs — Vaquero Midstream, Ohio Legislation, Carnero Gathering
Vaquero Midstreamhas commissioned the 200 MMcf/d Caymus I Natural Gas Processing Facility in Pecos County, TX. The cryogenic plant is supported by long-term commitments with major producers and could be expanded with four additional 200 MMcf/d processing trains. It features oversized inlet liquids handling with condensate stabilization and storage, inlet compression to minimize field pressure, amine treating, propane refrigeration prior to cryogenic processing. The plant has the operational flexibility necessary to handle production from the Permian Basin’s Avalon, Wolfcamp and Bone Spring formations for future drilling. Caymus I is supplied by 80 miles of a high-pressure gathering pipeline, consisting of 30- and 24-inch diameter pipe connecting Pecos, Reeves, Ward and Culberson counties to the facility and designed for volumes of more than 800 MMcf/d. A 16-inch diameter residue header connects multiple outlets at the Waha market, including connections with Atmos, Enterprise, Northern Natural Gas and Oneok’s WestTex Transmission system connecting to the Roadrunner Gas Transmission Pipeline. The Vaquero 12-inch diameter natural gas liquids header was also commissioned with outlets connecting to Lone Star’s West Texas Gateway Pipeline and Enterprise Chaparral systems. Vaquero was formed to target projects in the Permian, East Texas and Oklahoma (see Shale Daily,Aug. 22, 2014).
