San Mateo Midstream, LLC Announces Execution of Natural Gas Gathering and Processing Agreement

San Mateo Midstream, LLC (“San Mateo”) today announced that its wholly-owned subsidiary, DLK Black River Midstream, LLC (“DLK Black River”), has entered into a long-term agreement with a producer in Eddy County, New Mexico relating to the gathering and processing of such producer’s natural gas production. As a result of this agreement, along with prior natural gas gathering and processing agreements entered into by San Mateo’s other customers, San Mateo has now entered into contracts to provide firm gathering and processing services for over 200 million cubic feet of natural gas per day, or over 80% of the designed inlet capacity of 260 million cubic feet of natural gas per day, at its Black River cryogenic natural gas processing plant (the “Black River Processing Plant”) in Eddy County, New Mexico.

In March 2018, San Mateo completed a natural gas liquids (“NGL”) pipeline connection at the tailgate of the Black River Processing Plant to the NGL pipeline owned by EPIC Y-Grade Pipeline, LP. The NGL connection ensures San Mateo customers firm NGL takeaway out of the Delaware Basin and firm fractionation for those NGL volumes further downstream.

Matt Spicer, Senior Vice President and General Manager of San Mateo, said, “This contract, and others we have entered into in 2018, have significantly diversified San Mateo’s customer base as we continue to provide first class midstream services to producers in the area. We pride ourselves on generating value for our customers by providing services across all three production streams—oil, natural gas and salt water—and look forward to continuing to be a full-service midstream solution for producers in the northern Delaware Basin.”

This is the second announcement in 2018 of a significant customer addition by San Mateo. In June 2018, San Mateo announced that it had entered into a long-term agreement with a significant producer in Eddy County, New Mexico relating to the gathering and disposal of such producer’s salt water. That agreement included the dedication of over 65 wells, which are located within five miles of San Mateo’s existing salt water gathering system in Eddy County, New Mexico. In addition, San Mateo completed its fourth and fifth commercial salt water disposal wells in Eddy County, New Mexico during the third quarter of 2018 and is presently evaluating a sixth and seventh salt water disposal well. San Mateo currently has total salt water disposal capacity of approximately 225,000 barrels per day in Eddy County, New Mexico and Loving County, Texas. San Mateo expects to dispose of over 200,000 barrels per day of salt water as early as the first quarter of 2019, which includes expected volumes from Matador Resources Company and San Mateo’s other contracted producers in Eddy County, New Mexico and Loving County, Texas.

Please direct any commercial inquiries about San Mateo’s natural gas gathering and processing services provided in Eddy County, New Mexico or Loving County, Texas or San Mateo’s other services, including salt water gathering and disposal services and oil gathering, transportation and blending services, to:
