Matador Resources Starts Up Delaware Basin Gas Processing Plant Expansion
Matador Resources and its midstream affiliate, San Mateo Midstream, has successfully started up its San Mateo’s Marlan cryogenic natural gas processing plant expansion in Eddy County, New Mexico.
“We are pleased to announce the start up of the expansion of the Marlan Plant. The increased processing capacity at the Marlan Plant should allow San Mateo to continue to provide Matador with reliable flow assurance in our Ranger and Antelope Ridge asset areas in Lea County, New Mexico,” said Joseph Wm. Foran, Matador’s chairman and CEO.
“The board and I congratulate and thank the members of our midstream and operational asset teams — especially the teams in the field — for the significant value they have created through their extra efforts to complete the Marlan Plant expansion on time and on budget,” added Foran.
The successful expansion of the Marlan Plant on time and on budget adds an incremental 200 million cubic feet per day (MMcf/d) of natural gas to the previously existing 60 MMcf/d for a total designed inlet capacity of 260 MMcf/d at the Marlan Plant.
The expanded Marlan Plant supports Matador’s development activities in Eddy and northern Lea Counties, New Mexico. The expansion also supports existing third-party producer development plans and allows San Mateo to pursue additional third-party volumes.
San Mateo’s midstream system now has a total gas processing capacity of 720 MMcf/d across Eddy and Lea Counties, New Mexico.
