Opero Energy, an affiliate of Audubon Engineering Company LLC, and a leading provider of processing technology and equipment, announced the award of a major engineering, design, and fabrication contract for Momentum Midstream’s New Generation Gas Gathering (NG3) project in the Haynesville Shale.
With 4,000 miles of pipeline and seven processing plants, NG3 will have an initial treating capacity of 1.7 billion cubic feet per day (BCFD), expandable to 2.2 BCFD. The project will also include a carbon capture and sequestration (CCS) component to capture and permanently sequester the associated CO2.
Opero Energy will engineer, design and fabricate the treating and processing equipment for this project. Using the latest processing technologies and fabrication best practices, Opero Energy’s gas-treating solutions will enable Momentum Midstream to efficiently separate CO2 from methane gas to achieve its goal of net-negative emissions.
“We are excited to be working with Momentum Midstream on this groundbreaking project,” said Talal El Awar, president of Opero Energy. “Our team has a history of successful project execution in the Haynesville Shale, and we look forward to supporting increased natural gas production from this important play.”
The NG3 project is strategically significant for alleviating existing strains in the Haynesville Shale and for supplying domestic and international markets with direct access to growing production in the region. Natural gas is expected to flow through NG3 in 2024.
