Brazos expands Midland Basin system in major buildout, adds 70 miles of pipeline
Brazos Midstream has expanded its Midland Basin footprint with the startup of a new 300 million cubic feet per day cryogenic natural gas processing plant in Martin County, Texas, and the launch of construction on another facility that will lift total basin capacity to 800 million cubic feet per day.
The company said Sundance II, located in Martin County, is the largest cryogenic facility it has built to date. The plant adds to the existing 200 million cubic feet per day Sundance I facility, which entered service in mid-2024. Together, the Sundance complex provides 500 million cubic feet per day of processing capacity in the core of the Midland Basin.
Brazos also began construction on the Cassidy I processing plant in Glasscock County. The 300 million cubic feet per day facility is expected to be completed by year-end 2026, increasing Brazos’ operated natural gas processing capacity in the Midland Basin to 800 million cubic feet per day.
In preparation for additional producer demand, the company said it has secured grid power and related infrastructure to support future expansion at the Cassidy complex.
On the gathering side, Brazos is constructing more than 70 miles of 20-inch and 24-inch high-pressure natural gas gathering pipeline across Reagan, Glasscock, Midland and Upton counties. Once complete in mid-2026, the Midland Basin system will include roughly 525 miles of gathering pipeline and 16 compressor stations.
The Midland operations are supported by long-term acreage dedications covering more than 375,000 acres from Permian producer customers currently in development.
"In less than 24 months, we have executed on our growth plans in the Midland Basin, the most active and resilient oil and gas producing region in the U.S.," said Brad Iles, Brazos’ Chief Executive Officer. “As the largest privately held midstream operator in the Permian Basin, we are strategically positioned to support and grow alongside our producer customers and continue investing in midstream infrastructure that provides a more reliable and efficient path to market.”
Brazos said the expansion strengthens its position in the Midland Basin as drilling activity and associated gas production continue to drive demand for processing and takeaway infrastructure.
