Enable Midstream Partners LP (Oklahoma City) said Sept. 3 its board of directors had approved construction of an additional 200-MMcfd of natural gas processing capacity near the partnership’s Bradley Processing Plant to serve producers in the South Central Oklahoma Oil Province (SCOOP) rich-gas play. The Bradley Plant, located in Grady County in central Oklahoma, is currently under construction to provide 200 MMcfd of processing capacity, and is expected to be in service during the first quarter of 2015. The project to build the second 200-MMcfd plant includes expansion of Bradley’s condensate processing capacity to 10,000 bbld.
“Strong producer activity continues on our Anadarko Basin gathering systems, particularly in the SCOOP play,” said Lynn Bourdon, Enable Midstream’s president and CEO. “We already have critical long-lead plant infrastructure ordered and anticipate a fourth quarter 2015 startup for this additional capacity.”
Enable will invest in excess of $200 million for the second processing plant—for plant equipment, associated compression, and installation costs. Other announced investments include upgrades at its Cox City processing facility, construction of a second crude oil gathering pipeline in the Bakken region in North Dakota, and construction of the Bradley Plant. Enable Midstream has added about 500,000 acres of SCOOP-area dedicated acreage since December 2013.
The company’s super-header system currently has seven natural gas processing plants with 1.285 Bcfd of processing capacity, and the ability to serve producers in multiple plays in the Anadarko Basin. The processing super-header allows Enable to respond quickly to producers’ capacity needs by utilizing available capacity while additional processing capacity is constructed. When the second new processing plant comes online, super-header capacity will grow to 1.685 Bcfd.
