Enterprise Products Partners LP has commissioned its Bulldog cryogenic natural gas processing plant in Panola County, Tex.
Previously named Panola 3, the Bulldog plant has the capability to process 200 MMcfd of natural gas and extract up to 12,000 b/d of NGLs, Enterprise said on Jan. 23.
The Bulldog plant is currently running near 100% capacity and is integral to helping facilitate continued growth of natural gas production from the Cotton Valley and Haynesville formations in East Texas and Louisiana, the operator said.
Combined with Enterprise’s existing 130-MMcfd Panola cryogenic plant, the new Bulldog plant equips the operator with a capacity to process a total of 320 MMcfd of gas and produce more than 18,000 b/d of NGLs within the region (OGJ Online, May 1, 2013).
NGLs produced at the Bulldog plant will be transported via the Panola pipeline to Mont Belvieu, Tex., for fractionation services, while residue gas from the tailgate of the plant will have connectivity with Enterprise’s North Texas Intrastate pipeline system, along with other major pipelines and markets in the East Texas—Carthage area.
“The Bulldog facility, along with other growth projects under construction in the region, aggregates natural gas on our system and creates an opportunity for future expansion of our natural gas value chain from East Texas to the [US] Gulf Coast,” said Jim Teague, chief executive officer of Enterprise’s general partner.
The Bulldog plant fully integrates Enterprise’s existing Fairplay gathering system with BTA LLC’s gathering system, which BTA acquired from Azure Midstream Partners LP in 2017 (OGJ Online, June 14, 2017).
