Priority Provides Integrated Electric Delivery and Supply Solution to Brazos Midstream
High voltage transmission line and substation delivers critical
electrical capacity to power cryogenic natural gas processing facilities
in the southern Delaware Basin.
MIDLAND & ARLINGTON, Texas–(BUSINESS WIRE)–#DelawareBasin–Priority Power Management, LLC (“Priority”), a Texas-based leading
independent energy management and consulting services firm, announced
today that it has successfully completed the development and
energization of a new private electrical system for Brazos Midstream
(“Brazos”) that will power Brazos’ Comanche II, a 200 MMcf/d cryogenic
natural gas processing plant in the Delaware Basin. The system consists
of a 6.5-circuit mile 138kV transmission line and a 50/83 MVA electrical
high voltage (“EHV”) substation (collectively, the “Comanche System”).
Priority has been providing energy management and consulting services to
Brazos since the company was formed in 2015, initially providing
strategic planning, utility coordination and supply management services.
Priority’s services expanded in 2016 to include full turnkey
engineering, procurement and construction services for private
electrical infrastructure to power Brazos’ Comanche I, a 60 MMcf/d
natural gas processing plant, as well as compression facilities, valves
and interconnect points along their expansive gathering system.
In 2017, when Brazos announced plans to construct Comanche II with
significant electrical demand requirements, it turned to Priority for
the power solution. Priority analyzed electric service options from
multiple utilities to achieve Brazos’ proposed timeline. Once the
preferred option was selected, Brazos expanded Priority’s scope to
implement the solution, which included negotiating a transmission
interconnect agreement with the utility, interfacing with the utility on
technical and land issues, developing the Comanche System and managing
the procurement of competitive retail electricity supply to Comanche II.
Priority completed the Comanche System on time and under budget.
“We value our relationship with Brazos and appreciate the trust and
confidence they have placed in us,” said John J. Bick, managing
principal of Priority. “We overcame some unexpected challenges during
this project but I am proud that the Priority team persevered and was
able to meet Brazos’ expectations.”
