GE is supplying three of its ecomagination qualified Waukesha 16-V 275GL+ gas engines to Howard Midstream Energy Partners, LLC (Howard Energy) to drive compression equipment at its new Reveille cryogenic natural gas processing plant in Webb County, north of Laredo, Texas.

The new cryogenic facility will be capable of processing up to 200 million cubic feet of gas per day (MMcf/d) and serve primarily producer and midstream business customers operating in the Eagle Ford, Olmos and Escondido gas fields in South Texas.

Construction of the Reveille gas plant began in April 2013, with startup of the facility scheduled for January 2014. The plant and associated pipelines will tie into the Cuervo Creek gathering pipeline that Howard Energy bought in March 2012. The plant will handle multiple rich natural gas formations including the Eagle Ford, Olmos and Escondido plays, helping Howard Energy boost its capacity to gather, process and deliver natural gas to customers in the United States and Mexico.
