New Devonian AGI Well

This will be Northwind’s third AGI well, increasing the Company’s total permitted daily injection capacity to ~37 million ft³/d of total acid gas (TAG) when completed in 2026. The injection zone of the new well will target the Devonian formation in the Northern Delaware Basin, and combined with Northwind’s existing Devonian AGI well, it will give the Company a total of ~29 million ft³/d of permitted Devonian injection capacity. The new well also provides additional redundancy for Northwind’s existing TAG disposal operations at the Titan Treating Complex and will underpin the Company’s previously announced expansion of the Titan Complex.

The Titan Complex currently operates 150 million ft³/d of high-circulation amine treating capacity and two AGI and carbon sequestration wells. As part of the buildout of the Titan Complex, Northwind expects to complete its Train #3 by mid-year 2025, which will increase total treating capacity to 200 million ft³/d. Additionally, Northwind has reached FID and customer support to further expand total treating capacity to 400 million ft³/d by 2026.

EPA approval of MRV plan

Northwind has also received a milestone approval from the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for its monitoring, reporting and verification (MRV) plan for the permanent sequestration of CO₂ at the Titan Treating Complex. Northwind’s MRV plan documents how the Company will ensure permanent sequestration of CO₂ in its AGI wells from natural gas treated at the Titan Complex. The MRV approval, in conjunction with meeting other statutory requirements, will allow Northwind to qualify for 45Q tax credits.

Completion of Pelham compressor station

In addition to building out the Titan Complex, Northwind has significantly expanded its natural gas gathering and compression network throughout Lea County. The Company recently placed into service its fifth NACE standard compressor station with initial capacity of 25 million ft³/d. This brings Northwind’s total compression capacity to ~225 million ft³/d across its full system. Northwind’s gathering and compression network, which is designed specifically to manage produced natural gas with high levels of hydrogen sulfide and carbon dioxide, includes over 200 miles of large-diameter steel pipelines and 47 250 horsepower of compression across five compressor stations.

Five point perspective

David Capobianco, CEO and Managing Partner of Five Point Infrastructure, said, “Regulatory approval validates Northwind’s platform as providing the essential infrastructure needed to expand safe and reliable capacity in Lea County, New Mexico, an increasingly important oil producing region.”

Management perspective

“With these approvals in hand, we look forward to advancing the build out of our Titan Treating Complex, providing our producer partners in Lea County with essential off-spec gas gathering, treating, and sequestration capacity,” said Northwind CEO Matt Spicer. “The expansion of this facility, along with the addition of our new compressor station, will contribute to the continued growth of the oil and gas industry across the Northern Delaware Basin, while also helping producers manage emissions.”
