Brazos Midstream Operating III LLC has filed a new air permit notification for the Triple Crown Compressor Station in Martin County, Texas, signaling continued expansion of natural gas infrastructure in the Midland Basin. The project comes as Martin County has already seen approximately 173 wells drilled year-to-date in 2026, led by Exxon/Pioneer, Ovintiv, Diamondback Energy, and ConocoPhillips, increasing demand for gas gathering and compression capacity.

Western Midstream Partners’ $1.6 billion acquisition of Brazos Delaware II LLC highlights continued confidence in long-term Permian Basin production growth and the increasing importance of natural gas infrastructure in the Delaware Basin. The deal expands Western Midstream’s pipeline and gas processing footprint while reinforcing the broader industry trend of consolidation and investment in Permian midstream assets to support rising oil, gas, LNG, and power demand.

Brazos Midstream’s Sundance II project moved from a high-profile August 2025 state-backed announcement to on-the-ground execution in early 2026, with new interconnect infrastructure quietly registered in Martin County. The combination shows Brazos isn’t just adding processing capacity — it’s building the connective plumbing needed to reliably move growing Permian associated gas volumes for the long term.

Martin County continues to strengthen its position at the heart of the Midland Basin as Brazos Midstream advances another key piece of natural gas infrastructure. On November 20, 2025, the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) approved an air permit (Permit #182278) for the Railhead Compressor Station, further enabling the company’s long-term growth plan in one of the nation’s most productive energy regions.

The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) continues to clear the path for Brazos Midstream’s growth in the Permian Basin. Most recently, TCEQ completed registration of a Standard Permit for the Cassidy Plant in Glasscock County, Texas (Project #398425, Permit #181608), operated by Brazos Midstream Operating III, LLC.

Brazos Midstream Holdings LLC is making significant strides in its expansion efforts within the Permian Basin’s Midland area. The company has recently completed the construction of a new cryogenic gas processing plant and is nearing the finish line on a substantial gas-gathering infrastructure project.

Brazos Midstream was issued a pipeline addition permit of 55 additional miles in in Glasscock and Reagan counties by the The Railroad Commission of Texas. The permit number is #10517.

Under the legal name Permian Gathering, Brazos was approved by the TCEQ for a new air permit (RN111798047) for a new facility names TRUE GRIT COMPRESSOR STATION.
