休斯敦的 Pinnacle Midstream II LLC 于 7 月 11 日宣布，将扩建其位于米德兰盆地的 Dos Picos 系统和加工中心，建造一座额外的天然气加工厂。

Dos Picos 的 Train II 计划于 2024 年第四季度投入商业运营，届时将增加 220 MMcf/天的处理能力，使该公司的总运营处理能力达到 400 MMcf/天以上。

该公司表示，Pinnacle 还将在德克萨斯州米德兰县、马丁县和格拉斯科克县扩大其收集和压缩设施，以满足预期和未来的产量。 

该公司的基础设施以高度活跃的私人和公共二叠纪运营商的长期土地奉献为基础。Pinnacle 在 Energy Spectrum Capital 的支持下表示，其设计和运营 Dos Picos 基础设施的重点是空气质量保护和安全，并实现高效扩张，支持高强度垫开发和提高整个米德兰的天然气/石油比率。

Train II 设施将位于米德兰县，将补充 Pinnacle 现有的处理设施以及高压、大直径收集和压缩基础设施，这些基础设施已于 2021 年第一季度开始运营。

Pinnacle 的创始人兼首席执行官 J. Greg Sargent 表示，Pinnacle 的扩张将为其不断增长的米德兰盆地生产商群体服务。

“将 Dos Picos 产能扩大 220 MMcf/d，确保我们能够为当前和未来的客户提供最好的服务，最大限度地提高他们的回收率，并帮助限制整个盆地的火炬燃烧，”他说。

Pinnacle 还与该地区的同行公司提供多个双向高压第三方互连，使该公司能够最大限度地为其生产商和第三方中游客户提供流量保证。

该公司在一份新闻稿中表示，“扩大的处理能力将继续提供一流的运营效率，继续进入最具竞争力的下游市场，并最大限度地为 Pinnacle 的客户带来净回报。”

Houston’s Pinnacle Midstream II LLC announced July 11 it will expand its Dos Picos System and Processing Complex in the Midland Basin with the construction of an additional natural gas processing plant.

Dos Picos’ Train II, targeted for commercial operation during fourth-quarter 2024, will add 220 MMcf/d of processing capacity, bringing the company’s total operated processing capacity to more than 400 MMcf/d.

Pinnacle will also expand its gathering and compression facilities throughout Midland, Martin and Glasscock counties, Texas, to accommodate expected and future volumes, the company said. 

The company’s infrastructure is anchored by long-term acreage dedications with highly active private and public Permian operators. Pinnacle, backed by Energy Spectrum Capital, said it designed and operates the Dos Picos infrastructure with a focus on air quality preservation and safety, and to enable efficient expansions that support high intensity pad development and increasing gas/oil ratio throughout Midland.

The Train II facility will be collocated in Midland County and will complement Pinnacle’s existing processing facilities and high-pressure, large diameter gathering and compression infrastructure, which began operations during first-quarter 2021.

Pinnacle’s expansion will serve its growing base of Midland Basin producers, said J. Greg Sargent, Pinnacle’s founder and CEO.

“Expanding the Dos Picos capacity by 220 MMcf/d ensures we can provide the best service to our current and future customers, maximize their recoveries and help limit flaring across the basin,” he said.

Pinnacle also provides multiple bi-directional and high-pressure third-party interconnects with peer companies within the region, allowing the company to maximize flow assurances for its producers and third-party midstream customers.

“The expanded processing capacity will continue to provide top of class operational efficiencies, continued access to the most competitive downstream markets and maximize netbacks for Pinnacle’s customers,” the company said in a press release.
