Kinder Morgan Tejas Pipeline LLC (Tejas), a subsidiary of Kinder Morgan Inc. and Howard Energy Partners (HEP), through its joint venture Dos Caminos LLC, have received sufficient binding commercial agreements for a 2-bcfd expansion of their respective Eagle Ford natural gas transportation systems. The projects are planned to be completed in fourth-quarter 2023 and will deliver to US Gulf Coast markets.
Tejas is building a 67 mile, 42-in. OD pipeline from the existing Kinder Morgan Texas Pipeline (KMTP) compressor station near Freer, Tex., to the Tejas pipeline system near Sinton, Tex. Dos Caminos is building a 62 mile, 36-in. pipeline—as well as compression, treating, and dehydration—starting near HEP’s existing infrastructure in Webb County, Tex., and running to the KMTP compressor station in Freer.
The expansion will cost $251 million.
Dos Caminos is a joint venture between HEP and an affiliate of Eagle Ford Midstream LP.
