About the company
RELIABLE – SUSTAINABLE – CLEAN
Providing sustainable midstream services
to treat off-spec natural gas and mitigate emissions
ESTABLISHED IN 2022,
Northwind’s strategy is to develop, own and operate off-spec gas infrastructure in the Permian Basin. Production is increasingly constrained by high off-spec gas concentrations and inadequate midstream infrastructure. Producers are challenged by growing regulatory headwinds to better manage emissions and flaring. Northwind Midstream will operate a highly efficient, environmentally focused and exceedingly reliable midstream system, which unlocks overall customer value while mitigating customer environmental concerns.
NORTHWIND’S INFRASTRUCTURE DESIGN INCORPORATEs THE FOLLOWING TO IMPROVE OPERATIONAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL SYSTEM PERFORMANCE:
- Natural gas amine treating infrastructure designed to manage
off- spec gas high in carbon dioxide, hydrogen sulfide, and inerts. - NACE level II system design for all off-spec gas infrastructure
- Multi-tower sour condensate stabilization system
- Redundant class II disposal wells designed to capture
and sequester high concentrations of H2S and CO2 - Multiple gas processing outlets for flow assurance and overall customer value
