**Brazos Midstream Continues to Pave the Way with Advanced Permian Gas Processing and Gathering Infrastructure**
In a significant move to bolster its operations in the Permian Basin, Brazos Midstream has made substantial strides in enhancing its gas processing and gathering infrastructure. The company, known for its commitment to high-quality assets, has recently completed the construction of its new 200 MMcf/d cryogenic gas processing plant, Sundance I, in Martin County, Texas. Scheduled to begin operations in October 2024, Sundance I marks a pivotal moment in Brazos Midstream’s strategic expansion in the Midland Basin.
### Expansive Infrastructure Development
Brazos Midstream’s ambitious project includes the installation of approximately 175 miles of high-pressure natural gas gathering pipelines, ranging from 16 inches to 24 inches in diameter. This extensive development will not only boost the company’s gathering capacity but also ensure a robust and reliable infrastructure for its producer customers. The new gathering lines are set to traverse the core regions of the Midland Basin, including significant counties such as Ector, Howard, Martin, Midland, Glasscock, and Reagan.
Once the first phase of construction is completed, Brazos Midstream will manage nearly 260 miles of gas-gathering pipelines and ten compressor stations in the region. This substantial investment underscores the company’s dedication to addressing the burgeoning gas production in the Permian Basin. The tight processing market in the region has been a critical issue, limiting upstream development and necessitating the urgent expansion of gas processing facilities.
### Scheduled Expansion
To further accommodate forecasted production growth, Brazos Midstream has announced plans to construct an additional cryogenic gas processing facility with a capacity of 300 MMcf/d. The new plant, scheduled for operation by the end of 2025, will significantly boost Brazos Midstream’s total processing capacity to 500 MMcf/d. This strategic move is aimed at enhancing the reliability of gas processing services in the Permian Basin
