Construction on a natural gas pipeline, which will extend 366 miles beginning in Midland County, is scheduled to commence in the fall of 2025.
The Blackcomb Pipeline is a collaborative project by WhiteWater, MPLX LP, and Enbridge Inc., operating under the subsidiary WPC Joint Venture. According to the Del Rio Business Bulletin's Facebook post, the project is expected to be completed by the end of 2026, weather permitting, and will terminate in Nueces County near Corpus Christi.
During the summer, the partnership announced that the project would transport up to 2.5 billion cubic feet per day of natural gas across the 366 miles via a 42-inch pipeline from the Permian Basin in West Texas to the Agua Dulce area in South Texas. Gas processing facilities in the Midland Basin and the Agua Blanca Pipeline in the Delaware Basin will facilitate several upstream connections. WhiteWater will oversee both construction and operation of the Blackcomb Pipeline project.
"We are excited to partner with Targa by leveraging Whistler's expansive footprint in Waha and Agua Dulce to develop the Blackcomb Pipeline. Blackcomb will provide much-needed incremental natural gas takeaway capacity for Permian shippers," said Christer Rundlof, CEO of WhiteWater.
