Dallas-based Vaquero Midstream, natural gas gathering and processing midstream company operating in the Delaware Basin, said last week it will expand its existing gathering system in west Texas.  Vaquero will build a new 70-mile (24 inches) high-pressure pipeline loop and a 200 million cubic feet per day cryogenic processing plant.  It will increase Vaquero’s gathering capabilities from the state line area to its expanded processing complex near the Waha hub in Pecos County.

Harrison Holmes, CEO, said April 29, “This expansion of our gathering system will be key in providing direct access on the Vaquero system from northern Reeves and Loving counties to our processing complex near Waha.”  It increases gathering capacity from Vaquero’s legacy system from 400 MMcfd to about 800 MMcfd and is expected in service by yearend 2025 through parts of Loving, Ward and Winkler counties.

At the cryogenic processing plant, expansion will increase processing capacity to 600 MMcfd.  It’s expected to be in service by March 2026.
