Hunters and gatherers might have aptly described Brazos Midstream upon its founding back in 2014. That would have meant hunters of infrastructure assets to gather, treat, and process crude oil and natural gas in the Permian basin. The Fort Worth-based startup wasted no time to develop a strong position, starting in the Delaware through several acquisitions and a slate of growth projects. But that was just the beginning of what was to become.

Reese Energy Consulting today spotlights Brazos Midstream, the largest privately held midstream platform in the Permian Basin which operates in the Delaware and the Midland. The company operates 910 miles of intrastate natural gas, NGL, and crude oil gathering pipe, 460 MMCFD of total processing capacity, 75,000 barrels of crude storage, and 125,000 field compression hp in the Delaware.

The Delaware became Brazos’ pecan pie early on. Then came along another opportunity to bake more.

Brazos in 2021 announced a new venture into the Midland, which has continued to rev up its build-baby-build engine. Brazos has now announced the commissioning of its largest cryogenic gas plant, Sundance II in Martin County, with a processing capacity of 300 MMCFD. This, along with construction of a new processing complex in Glasscock County and more Midland and Delaware expansions on the whiteboard. Brazos currently operates 1,435 miles of natural gas, NGL, and crude oil pipe, 1 BCFD of processing capacity, and 75,000 barrels of crude storage.
