Howard Energy Partners (HEP) plans to expand its capabilities to gather, treat and transport natural gas produced from the Austin Chalk and Eagle Ford Shale plays in and around Webb County, Texas. Through its joint venture with Dos Caminos and an affiliate of Eagle Ford Midstream (EFM), the company expects to double its throughput capacity to 2 Bcf/d (57 MMcm/d), using enhancements to existing systems and construction of a new pipeline. HEP's and EFM's systems currently supply premium markets, including Mexico and Gulf Coast liquid natural gas (LNG). Dos Caminos was created to develop additional natural gas transportation opportunities in the Eagle Ford Shale region of South Texas and to jointly market capacity on HEP's and EFM's existing South Texas systems.
