Piñon Midstream LLC is building the greenfield Dark Horse sour gas treating and carbon capture site and associated pipeline infrastructure in northeastern Delaware basin, Lea County, NM. The project includes a centralized amine treating plant, an 18,000-ft deep acid-gas sequestration well (Independence AGI #1), and 30,000 hp of field compression.
Piñon expects Dark Horse to begin operations in July 2021, treating 85 MMcfd of sour gas. The company purchased a second amine treating plant that is scheduled to be installed and operational in fourth-quarter 2021, increasing capacity to 170 MMcfd.
The site is expandable up to 400 MMcfd.
Treated gas will be delivered to multiple third-party gas processing plants.
