Dual 30” pipelines will provide access to over 4 million bpd of contiguous pore space with majority of active permits located on the Central Basin Platform
HOUSTON--(
BUSINESS WIRE)--WaterBridge today announced the launch of an open season to solicit commitments to support the construction of two new large-diameter gathering and transportation pipelines (together, the “Speedway Pipeline”). The open season began at 8:00 a.m. CDT today, April 1, 2025, and is scheduled to end at 5:00 p.m. CDT on May 1, 2025.
The Speedway Pipeline will consist of dual 30” pipelines extending across the Northern Delaware Basin to connect Eddy and Lea counties to out-of-basin pore space in the Central Basin Platform owned by WaterBridge’s affiliate, LandBridge Company LLC (NYSE: LB). The Speedway Pipeline will allow WaterBridge to transport produced water away from high-activity areas that are experiencing rising pore pressures and is expected to enhance flow assurance and redundancy for WaterBridge’s customers and support future growth for the industry by utilizing LandBridge’s significant pore space capacity. The Speedway Pipeline will access approximately 1MM bpd of approved capacity on the Central Basin Platform.
“The Speedway Pipeline addresses the critical need for produced water handling capacity in the Northern Delaware Basin,” said Michael “Chop” Reitz, President and Chief Operating Officer of WaterBridge. “By connecting southeastern New Mexico to the Central Basin Platform, we are providing operators with access to largely undeveloped pore space on LandBridge’s surface. This project underscores our commitment to providing the water infrastructure needed to support development plans and continued growth in the region.”
The anticipated route for the Speedway Pipeline is shown on the enclosed map.
