Houston-based Piñon Midstream commissioned its third sour gas treatment train at its Dark Horse Treating Facility and received a new source review (NSR) permit to continue expanding operations at the plant, according to a May 22 press release.
Piñon’s operations are centered in Lea County in southern New Mexico. The new train is a 450 gallons per minute (gpm) unit, which increases the facility’s overall sour gas processing capacity to about 270 MMcf/d.
With the NSR, the company has plans for a large-scale expansion at the site, including three 900-gpm sour gas treatment units, two cryogenic processing plants with a total processing capacity of 460 MMcf/d and 4,400 bbl of storage capacity.
