Hess Midstream delays Tioga gas plant turnaround

July 20, 2020
Hess Midstream LP has deferred until 2021 a planned maintenance turnaround at its 250-MMcfd Tioga gas plant (TGP) in North Dakota, originally scheduled for third-quarter 2020, “to ensure safe and timely execution given the COVID-19 pandemic.”

Hess Midstream LP has deferred until 2021 a planned maintenance turnaround at its 250-MMcfd Tioga gas plant (TGP) in North Dakota, originally scheduled for third-quarter 2020, “to ensure safe and timely execution given the COVID-19 pandemic.”

The company said completion of its 150-MMcfd TGP expansion is expected by end-2020. The expansion will add residue and y-grade liquids processing capacity to the existing full-fractionation and ethane-extraction capability of the current plant (OGJ Online, Apr. 26, 2019).

Incremental gas processing capacity is expected to be available in 2021 upon completion of the turnaround, during which both the expansion and residue and NGL takeaway pipelines will be tied in.

There is no change to Hess Midstream’s previously announced full-year 2020 financial guidance and expected 25% growth in 2021 earnings compared with full-year 2020.
