Houston-based Pinon Midstream commissioned and placed into service its third 450-GPM amine treating unit (Amine Train III) at its sour natural gas treating and carbon capture plant. The plant is in Lea County, N.M., in Delaware Basin. Pinon said last week it also received a new source review (NSR) air permit to enable additional capital expansion projects at Dark Horse treating facility, including construction of Amine trains IV, V and VI and two cryogenic processing plants.
Amine Train III was placed into service May 8 and increased the sour natural gas treating capacity by 50 percent to 270 million cfd.
Steven Green, CEO, said May 22, “With the recent receipt of the NSR permit, Pinon is well-positioned to significantly expand our sour gas treating and carbon capture operations within the Delaware Basin.”
