San Mateo Midstream Provides Pipeline, Black River LNG Updates

(P&GJ) — San Mateo Midstream has announced updates on several pipeline construction projects as well as the completion of is expansion of the Black River LNG plant in Eddy County, New Mexico. 

San Mateo is currently completing construction of approximately 24 miles of large diameter natural gas gathering pipelines between the Black River Processing Plant and the New Mexico and Texas state line in southeastern Eddy County.

The Company is also completing construction of approximately 19 miles of large diameter natural gas gathering pipelines northward from the Black River Processing Plant, as well as 19 miles of various diameter crude oil pipelines from certain points of origin in Eddy County to the existing San Mateo interconnect with Plains Pipeline, L.P. in Eddy County.

These various pipelines are expected to be placed in service at various times from early to mid-September 2020. These new pipelines, along with the expansion of the Black River Processing Plant, substantially increase the footprint of San Mateo’s three-pipe midstream services offering throughout Eddy County.

The Black River LNG expansion adds an inlet capacity of 200 million cubic feet of natural gas per day to the previously existing inlet capacity of 260 million cubic feet of natural gas per day.

The expanded Black River Processing Plant supports San Mateo’s anchor customer, Matador Resources Company, and offers processing opportunities for other producers’ development efforts in the Delaware Basin.

Consistent with existing arrangements, San Mateo’s customers may access firm transportation via pipeline and fractionation for all natural gas liquids and firm transportation via pipeline for all residue natural gas volumes delivered at the tailgate of the Black River Processing Plant, including those volumes attributable to the newly increased inlet capacity.

“The expanded Black River Processing Plant and the associated pipeline connections provided by San Mateo provide producers in the area reliable transportation and processing for their natural gas and NGLs out of the basin,” said Matt Spicer, Co-Chief Operating Officer of San Mateo.
