The plant can process 200 million standard cubic feet per day ((MMcf/d) and complements PennTex’s first UOP Russell gas plant which entered service in May 2015.
The gas plants are designed to process rich natural gas and recovering valuable natural gas liquids (NGLs).
Honeywell UOP gas processing and hydrogen business vice-president and general manager John Gugel said: "Natural gas is on trend to become the world’s second-largest source of energy by 2035, so the ability to process gas reserves profitably is critical to meet that growing demand.
"UOP Russell pre-engineered modular gas processing plants, coupled with a turnkey solution, help companies such as PennTex process gas and recover valuable NGLs faster than with stick-built plants, all with better quality and more attractive economics."
Honeywell UOP delivered and installed modular cryogenic, dehydration, acid gas removal, and inlet/residue compression units, along with the control system, the flare system and site electrical equipment for the two gas plants.
The company also developed utility systems and buildings for office, control room, motor control center and compressors for the projects.
PennTex chief engineering and operations officer Tommy Stone said: "Over the past 18 months, our team has worked side by side with Honeywell UOP to complete these two projects in north Louisiana."
Recently, PennTex Midstream Partners commissioned the Mt. Olive gas processing plant and related residue gas and natural gas liquids (NGL) pipelines in the Terryville Complex in northern Louisiana, US.
The Mt. Olive facility comprises on-site liquids handling facilities for inlet gas as well as additional residue gas and NGL pipelines.
