Vaquero Midstream to expand plant

Upon completion of Caymus II plant construction, Vaquero will have 400 million ft³/d of processing capacity in service at the site, with further expansion capability to over 1 billion ft³/d. Construction is estimated to be complete in the first quarter of 2018 (1Q18).

"We are pleased to see the confidence our bank group has shown in the quality of our producer customers and their drilling plans," stated William Davis, Principal. "Our expectation is that this expansion and future projects should be financed with no additional equity capital, due to the level of cash flow we anticipate."

In addition to the more than a dozen markets currently available to its producer customers through connections at the WAHA Hub, Vaquero is constructing an additional interconnect to the Roadrunner Gas Transmission pipeline taking gas into Mexico. This interconnect will supply the needs of the CFE and other Mexican market demand. Producers on Vaquero's system have seen the advantages of the liquidity of the WAHA market versus the constraints often encountered in other parts of the Basin.

"We expect to need the second plant's capacity to handle our current customers' growing gas volumes by the end of the first quarter of 2018," said Gary Conway, CEO. "By initiating construction now, we are able to ensure that our producers will have capacity for processing gas volumes in our system next year."
