Stakeholder Midstream sanctions new Permian capacity
Texas-based Stakeholder Midstream said November 1 it had sanctioned a second treating and processing train at its Campo Viejo facility in the Permian basin, doubling inlet capacity and adding additional carbon capture and storage (CCS) capacity.
The new train will add 80mn ft3/day to Campo Viejo’s treating capacity, with new front-end liquid handling, amine treatment, a cryogenic processing plant, a nitrogen rejection unit and additional sequestration compression. Long-lead equipment was ordered in late summer this year, and Stakeholder plans to commission the second train, increasing Campo Viejo’s inlet capacity to 160mn ft3/day, by January 2024.
The new CCS capacity will result in additional volumes of CO2 being captured and sequestered in Stakeholder’s Pozo Acido well, which was recently approved by the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for its monitoring, verification and reporting plan. The second train will also help reduce methane emissions associated with flaring.
