M6 Midstream LLC (Momentum) has awarded Opero Energy, an affiliate of Audubon Engineering Co. LLC, an engineering, design, and fabrication contract for its 1.7-bcfd New Generation Gas Gathering (NG3) project in the Haynesville shale. Opero will be responsible for NG3’s natural gas treatment and processing plants.

The gathering system will be expandable to 2.2 bcfd. NG3 will also include carbon capture and sequestration (CCS) to address CO2 emissions.

Opero expects gas to flow through NG3 in 2024 and says the project will help alleviate constraints in delivering Haynesville production to domestic and international markets.

Momentum took final investment decision on NG3 last year. The system is anchored by long-term volume commitments from Haynesville shale producers, including Chesapeake Energy Corp., which also has an option to own 35% of the project.
