HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--M6 Midstream ("Momentum" or "the Company") today announced a final investment decision ("FID") on its new natural gas gathering and carbon capture project, New Generation Gas Gathering ("NG3"), which will gather natural gas produced in the Haynesville Shale for re-delivery to premium Gulf Coast markets, including LNG export. In addition, the Company completed the acquisitions of Midcoast Energy's East Texas business ("Midcoast ETX") from an affiliate of ArcLight Capital Partners, LLC and Align Midstream from Tailwater Capital to establish a leading presence in the Haynesville Shale.
With the final investment decision, the natural gas gathering and carbon capture project will have an initial capacity of 1.7 Bcf/d and is expandable to 2.2 Bcf/d and will also capture and permanently sequester up to 2.0 million tons per annum of CO2. The project is expected to commence operations in the second half of 2024.
"With significant long-term volume commitments from several leading Haynesville Shale producers, including Chesapeake Energy, we are pleased to reach a positive FID on our new gathering and treating project, which, combined with our existing capacity on the Midcoast system, will serve to address bottlenecks in the Haynesville Shale and provide much needed capacity to the growing LNG markets on the Gulf Coast," said Frank Tsuru, CEO of Momentum. "Our customers are also excited to be part of the first of its kind net negative gas gathering project."
Mr. Tsuru added, "Consistent with our past business practices, Chesapeake Energy's anchor commitment for NG3 comes with an option to own 35 percent of the project, creating alignment between Momentum and one of the largest Haynesville Shale producers."

With the combined assets of Midcoast ETX and Align Midstream, Momentum is currently servicing volumes in excess of 2.0 Bcf/d across a footprint including approximately 3,000 miles of gathering pipelines, 1.5 Bcf/d of treating capacity, 700 MMcf/d of processing capacity, 200,000 HP of compression and 820 miles of transportation pipelines delivering gas to the Gulf Coast markets in southeast Texas and the Carthage and Bethel markets in east Texas. The assets serve a diverse customer base comprised of producers, utilities, end-users and LNG exporters.
"Pairing the extensive footprints of the Midcoast and Align assets with NG3, Momentum is able to relieve existing constraints in the Haynesville Shale, particularly the Shelby Trough, and allow our producer customers to reach premium Gulf Coast markets," said Brant Baird, President of Momentum. "We also provide these Gulf Coast markets and LNG facilities with direct access to growing Haynesville Shale production."
"We have been closely associated with the management team at Momentum for more than three decades and are incredibly proud to help accelerate their plans to establish a leading presence in the Haynesville Shale," EFM Managing Partner and Founder Billy Lemmons said. "EnCap Flatrock Midstream came alongside several proven institutional energy investors in Yorktown Energy Partners, Martin Sustainable Resources, Ridgemont Equity Partners, Bengas Midstream Partners and Blackstone Credit to support Momentum's Haynesville Shale growth plans."
Terms of the transactions were not disclosed.
