The projects include the 200 MMcf/d Sundance I processing facility in Martin County, TX, which is mechanically complete and slated to begin operations this October.

Brazos also is “in the final stages” of construction on 175 miles of 16-inch and 24-inch diameter high-pressure natural gas gathering pipeline and associated midstream infrastructure spanning the core of the Permian’s Midland sub-basin, the firm said. Once the first phase of construction is complete on that gathering line, Brazos would operate about 260 miles of gathering lines and 10 compressor stations in the Midland.
