Houston-based Northwind Midstream Partners said last week it has constructed and placed into service 150 million cfd of high-circulation amine capacity, two acid-gas disposal and carbon sequestration wells, more than 200 miles of large-diameter pipelines, and 41,750 horsepower of compression at five compressor stations. The system in Lea County, N.M., is underpinned by long-term commitments and more than 165,000 dedicated acres from several Permian Basin producers. It is designed to manage produced natural gas with high levels of carbon dioxide and hydrogen sulfide.
David Capobianco, CEO of Five Point Energy, said March 13, “Northwind’s system has enabled its customers to unlock new development horizons and extend the boundary for known horizons… We believe Lea County is one of the premier oil-producing regions in North America, and that reliable energy infrastructure is the key to unlocking its development potential.”
Northwind’s Phase I buildout, to be completed by midyear, is anchored by its Titan treating complex, where the company recently added 100 million cfd of high-circulation amine treating capacity and an additional deep acid-gas injection and carbon sequestration well. Completion of Phase I will increase total treating capacity to 200 million cfd, and Northwind will further expand capacity to 400 million cfd by 2026.
