Canyon Midstream Announces Commencement of Operations at Gas Processing Facility in Oklahoma’s STACK Play

  • 200 million cubic feet per day (MMcf/d) GSP cryogenic gas processing facility in Woodward County, OK
  • 155 miles of pipeline in Woodward, Dewey, Blaine and Canadian counties
  • Over 57,000 dedicated acres in prolific STACK play

Houston, TX – April 18, 2018 – Canyon Midstream Partners II, LLC (“CMP2”) announced today that it has commenced operations at its newly constructed natural gas processing facility in Woodward County, Oklahoma (the “Redcliff Plant”). The Redcliff Plant processes gas volumes gathered on an extensive pipeline system constructed by CMP2 in Oklahoma’s Woodward, Dewey, Blaine and Canadian counties (the “Redcliff Gathering System”). The Redcliff system serves producers across more than 57,000 dedicated acres in the volatile oil, condensate and wet gas windows of the highly economic STACK play.

The Redcliff Plant provides its customers with 200 million cubic feet per day (MMcf/d) of GSP cryogenic gas processing capacity and access to premium residue gas markets on ANR and Southern Star Central. The Redcliff Gathering System currently includes 84 miles of 20” steel trunkline and five field compression stations with 21,000 hp of installed compression. An additional 5,500 hp of compression is on order in anticipation of well completions scheduled over the next six months. Based on recent well results and projected volumes dedicated to the Redcliff system, CMP2 has commenced preliminary evaluation and design work for a second 200 MMcf/d processing train at the Redcliff Plant.

“The commencement of operations at our Redcliff project represents an exciting milestone for our company and a tremendous accomplishment by our project management team over the past 13 months. The multiple productive zones and outstanding well results in our service territory underscore the need for efficient and reliable midstream infrastructure to support the development plans of our producer customers,” said Michael Walsh, President and CEO of CMP2. “We believe our plant’s location provides Redcliff customers with access to the most attractive markets, and anticipates takeaway requirements for future production growth.”

Dale Harper, SVP of Engineering and Operations at CMP2, added: “The Redcliff pipeline, field stations and plant have been designed for expansion as the area moves toward multi-well pad development. Our experienced operating team is dedicated to providing our customers with responsive and dependable service, day in and day out.”
