Five Point Energy-backed Northwind Midstream announced the opening of its expanded gathering and processing system in the Delaware Basin on March 13. The G&P system includes 150 MMcf/d of amine treating capacity at the company’s plant in Lea County, New Mexico.
Northwind’s Titan Treating Complex in Lea County is designed to manage natural gas with high levels of carbon dioxide and hydrogen sulfide. Besides its amine treatment capacity, the complex includes two acid gas injection wells. Northwind has reached a final investment decision to expand treatment capacity at the plant to 400 MMcf/d by 2026.
The company has also increased compression levels on its pipeline network. Northwind gas-gathering system includes more than 200 miles of pipelines. According to a press release, the company installed four additional compressor stations on the network, with an aggregate capacity of up to 400 MMcf/d of natural gas.
“We believe that Lea County, New Mexico is one of the premier oil-producing regions in North America, and that reliable energy infrastructure is the key to unlocking its development potential,” David Capobianco, CEO of Five Point Energy, said in the press release. “Sustainably managing off-spec hydrocarbon production through treating and sequestration has and will continue to be paramount for the industry.”
