Houston-based Enterprise Products Partners said this week it will expand its natural gas processing capabilities in the Permian Basin with construction of the Mentone West 2 plant in Loving County in Delaware Basin.  The new facility will have capacity to process more than 300 million cubic feet per day of natural gas and to extract more than 40,000 barrels per day of natural gas liquids.

The plant is expected to begin service in second quarter of 2026.

A.J. (Jim) Teague, co-CEO, said Wednesday, “The Permian Basin is expected to account for more than 90 percent of domestic NGL production by the end of the decade as producers and oilfield service companies continue to ‘push the envelope’ and develop new and more efficient techniques in one of the world’s most prolific energy basins.”
