Houston-based Enterprise Products Partners said this week it placed into service its Mentone cryogenic natural gas processing plant in Loving County in Delaware Basin. The plant has the capacity to process 300 MMcfd of natural gas and extract more than 40,000 b/d of NGL. Enterprise said it is supported by a longterm dedicated acreage agreement. Enterprise also constructed 66 miles of large-diameter gathering and residue pipelines and expanded compression capabilities that link Mentone to EPP’s NGL and Texas intrastate natural gas pipelines.
Brent Secrest, executive vice president and CCO, said Tuesday, “Mentone is our seventh natural gas processing plant in the Delaware Basin and increases our total capacity in the Permian Basin to more than 1.6 bcfd of natural gas processing and more than 250,000 b/d of NGL extraction.”
