San Mateo Midstream has announced its intention to increase the natural gas processing capacity at its Marlan facility located in southeastern New Mexico by 300 million cubic feet per day (MMcf/d). This capacity increase is intended to support two significant agreements with a major producer in the Northern Delaware Sub-basin of the Permian Basin.
Details of the Expansion Plan
The expansion of natural gas processing capacity at the Marlan facility comes in response to the increasing demand for natural gas in the Permian region. This area is recognized as one of the largest and most prolific oil and gas production spots in the United States, and the capacity increase could help meet the growing market needs. San Mateo Midstream aims to improve efficiency and enhance its infrastructure in this region with this initiative.

Currently, San Mateo Midstream is leveraging its experience and technical knowledge to optimize natural gas production and processing processes to achieve its long-term goals in sustainable energy supply and enhance production capabilities. The company, considering customer needs and working closely with major producers, aims to provide the best solutions in natural gas processing and transportation.
