Tejon Treating & Carbon Solutions (Tejon), a Texas-based full-service midstream company backed by Bayswater Management Company and Bayswater LP affiliates, today announced the successful completion of a substantial expansion of its Mongoose Gas Plant and accompanying gathering infrastructure.
Since its formation in 2023, Tejon has emerged as a critical provider of gas gathering and treatment solutions, particularly for sour gas, in the Midland Basin. The Mongoose Gas Plant, which initially served a single customer with a 35,000-acre dedication and a throughput capacity of 17 million cubic feet per day (mmcf/d), has undergone a rapid transformation. The company has successfully diversified its client base, now serving multiple producers and managing over 137,000 dedicated acres. This surge in demand necessitated the recently completed expansion, which has more than doubled the plant's processing capacity to an impressive 70 mmcf/d. In conjunction with this expansion, Tejon has also expanded its pipeline network, now operating over 90 miles of pipeline that caters to Bayswater's operations and a burgeoning roster of regional producers.
Mike Solomon, President of Tejon, emphasized the critical need for such infrastructure in the region. "Tejon's recent growth reflects the strong need for reliable sour gas gathering and treating infrastructure in this region of the Midland Basin," said Solomon. "We have built a flexible, high-performance system that is designed to scale with our customers. With new plant capacity, expanded takeaway options, and electrified operations, we are uniquely positioned to fill a much-needed gap in the market as the sole sour gas treating plant in this region."
The expansion includes significant enhancements to Tejon's downstream capabilities, with the addition of multiple delivery points. This provides customers with enhanced market optionality for gas processing and improved access to natural gas liquids (NGL) and residue gas takeaway solutions. Furthermore, Tejon has made a substantial leap in operational efficiency and environmental responsibility. The company recently completed a crucial connection to a new substation in Howard County, facilitating 100% electrification of the Mongoose Gas Plant and its associated compressor station.
Steve Struna, President and CEO of Bayswater, lauded Tejon's swift progress. "We are proud of the rapid progress Tejon has made since its formation," stated Struna. "This expansion is a testament to the vital service that Tejon provides in the region and ability to meet the needs of Midland Basin producers with efficient, safe, and environmentally responsible sour gas solutions." The expansion underscores Tejon's commitment to supporting the energy production in the Midland Basin by providing essential infrastructure that meets the evolving demands of the industry with a focus on reliability, efficiency, and environmental stewardship.
