Lower 48 midstream giant Howard Energy Partners (HEP), through joint venture Dos Caminos LLC, said it plans to double its natural gas gathering, treatment and transport services in Texas to 2 Bcf/d as it eyes opportunities for LNG and Mexico exports.
The expansion, planned in the Austin Chalk formation and Eagle Ford Shale in South Texas, would be done through HEP’s partnership with an affiliate of Eagle Ford Midstream (EFM).
“Given our unique pipeline footprint and history in South Texas, we are best situated to respond to the significant natural gas production growth in the Webb County area,” said HEP CEO Mike Howard.
“These projects will be completed in phases with the initial phase anticipated to be completed in the third quarter of next year and the remainder in 2024.”
Dos Caminos throughput would be expanded by enhancing existing systems and greenfield projects.
San Antonio-based HEP operates Dos Caminos. Together with EFM, whose 158-mile pipeline runs through the Eagle Ford, HEP now gathers, treats and transports up to 1 Bcf/d, which is destined for Mexico and Gulf Coast liquefied natural gas exports.
