WhiteWater Midstream, MPLX and Enbridge said last week they have partnered with an affiliate of Targa Resources to reach final investment decision on Blackcomb natural gas pipeline. The 2.5-billion-cfd pipeline will run 365 miles from Permian Basin to Agua Dulce hub in south Texas. The joint venture secured sufficient firm transportation agreements, and shippers include Devon Energy, Diamondback Energy, Marathon Petroleum and Targa.
Christer Rundlof, CEO of WhiteWater, said July 31, “Blackcomb will provide much needed incremental natural gas takeaway capacity for Permian shippers.”
Blackcomb is owned 70 percent by WhiteWater, 17.5 percent by Targa and 12.5 percent by MPLX. It will be constructed and operated by WhiteWater and begin service in second half of 2026. The new pipeline will be sourced from multiple Permian connections, including Midland Basin gas processing plants and the WhiteWater-MPLX Agua Blanca pipeline in Delaware Basin.
