Governor Greg Abbott has announced that Brazos Midland Processing, LLC in Martin County has been designated as a qualified project under the Texas Jobs, Energy, Technology, and Innovation (JETI) programme. Brazos Midstream is set to establish a new natural gas processing plant with a capacity of 300 million cubic feet per day (MMcf/d), representing a capital investment of $185 million.
“Texas energy fuels America’s greatness,” stated Governor Abbott. “Investment in natural gas processing is crucial to meeting the growing energy demands. Brazos Midstream’s $185 million expansion in Martin County will more than double their natural gas processing capacity in the Midland Basin. By collaborating with innovative industry leaders, we will continue to drive growth across essential sectors, contributing to a stronger and more prosperous Texas.”
Located within the Midland Basin—a segment of the larger Permian Basin—Brazos Midstream possesses a substantial natural gas gathering and processing network. The Permian Basin currently accounts for 25 percent of natural gas production in the contiguous United States.
“Brazos Midstream is thrilled to move forward with the construction of our new Sundance II facility, a 300 MMcf/d cryogenic gas processing facility in Martin County,” said Brad Iles, CEO of Brazos Midstream. “Once operational, this facility will boost our total processing capacity in the Midland Basin to 500 MMcf/d. This investment is vital for providing essential gas infrastructure and reliable takeaway capacity for energy producers, advancing our collective goal of achieving energy dominance in the nation. We appreciate the support from Governor Abbott, as well as the Stanton ISD Board of Trustees, Superintendent Jan McCown, and their dedicated teams, for their backing of this project. With assistance from the state through incentive programmes like JETI, Brazos Midstream aims to further capitalise on its extensive energy infrastructure by constructing gas processing facilities in Texas, which will facilitate job creation and economic growth.”
“Martin County and the Permian Basin are the backbone of America’s energy supply,” remarked Senator Kevin Sparks. “This new investment from Brazos Midstream strengthens our region’s role in powering the nation while creating new job opportunities and economic growth locally. I proudly support initiatives that ensure Texas remains at the forefront of responsible energy production, paving the way for a brighter future for our communities.”
“The Permian Basin continues to showcase its status as the energy capital of the world,” said representative Tom Craddick. “Brazos Midstream’s expansion in Martin County will generate new jobs, bolster our local economy, and ensure that Texas remains a leader in energy production for years to come. I take pride in this investment in House District 82, where innovation and hard work continue to drive Texas’ future.”
