Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--Saulsbury Industries (Odessa, Texas) has been playing a key role in the development of liquefied natural gas (LNG) and cryogenic natural gas-fired plants around the U.S., and has seen its workflow develop along with those rapidly growing industries. Earlier this year, the engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) company contracted its fiftieth cryogenic project since 2006, according to the company, and it already is involved in one of the biggest LNG export projects on the U.S. Gulf Coast. Industrial Info is tracking more than $3 billion in active projects involving Saulsbury, about one-third of which are under construction.

Of the proposed projects with a medium to high probability of beginning construction as scheduled, Eagle LNG Partners' JAX LNG production plant in Jacksonville, Florida, carries the highest investment value. As designed, the three-train facility would produce 1,650,000 gallons per day of LNG, to be exported. The $250 million first train is slated to begin construction later this year, although the project is still seeking permits; the $250 million second train and $250 million third train would not begin construction until 2020 or 2022, at the earliest.

The JAX LNG facility is one of several widely anticipated LNG export projects on the U.S. Gulf Coast. Eagle LNG Partners is a joint venture between Ferus Incorporated (Calgary, Alberta) and Clean Energy Fuels Corporation (NASDAQ:CLNE) (Newport Beach, California). For more information, see Industrial Info's project reports on Train 1, Train 2 and Train 3.

Natural gas-fired projects built, or being built, by Saulsbury across the U.S. represent about 8.5 billion cubic feet per day, according to the company. Three of the largest natural gas-fired units on the company's calendar are being planned by DCP Midstream LLC (Houston) in Colorado: the $200 million third-train addition at the Mewbourn Natural Gas-Processing Plant in Gilcrest, and the $200 million second phase and $150 million third phase expansions of the O'Connor Natural Gas Processing Plant in Kersey. Each unit would process 200 million standard cubic feet per day gas from the Denver-Julesberg Basin; the Mewbourn addition would bring the plant's total capacity to 435 million standard cubic feet per day, while the O'Connor additions would bring its plant to 560 million standard cubic feet per day.

Construction on the Mewbourn addition began last June and is set to wrap up this summer; Phase II at O'Connor is expected to kick off soon, while the proposed Phase III would not begin until January 2019, at the earliest. DCP Midstream LLC is a 50:50 joint venture between Phillips 66 (NYSE:PSX) (Bartlesville, Oklahoma) and Spectra Energy Corporation (NYSE:SE) (Houston), and DCP Midstream Partners LP (NYSE:DPM) (Houston). For more information, see Industrial Info's reports on Mewbourn's Train 3 and O'Connor's Phase II and Phase III.

Texas is home to the five remaining natural gas-fired plant projects that are among the 10 highest-valued projects involving Saulsbury. Vaquero Midstream (The Woodlands, Texas) signed Saulsbury to serve as general contractor on its $150 million second processing unit its Caymus Cryogenic Sour Natural Gas Processing Plant in Coyanosa, which kicked off in the summer of 2017 and is expected to wrap up in the coming months, and the proposed, $150 million third processing unit and $150 million fourth processing unit at the same facility. Each unit would process 200 million standard cubic feet per day from the Avalon, Wolfcamp and Bone Spring shale formations in the Permian's Delaware Basin. For more information, see Industrial Info's project reports on the second, third and fourth units.

EagleClaw Midstream Ventures LLC, which was purchased last year by the energy-focused private equity business of The Blackstone Group (NYSE:BX), began construction in September on a $150 million addition to its natural gas-processing plant in Pecos, Texas, which will bring the plant's total capacity from 200 million to 260 million standard cubic feet per day. The project is expected to wrap up soon. Crestwood Equity Partners LP (NYSE:CEQP) (Houston, Texas) hired Saulsbury to do EPC on its $150 million cryogenic natural gas-processing plant in Orla, Texas, which will process 200 million standard cubic feet per day from the Permian Basin. For more information, see Industrial Info's reports on the Pecos and Orla projects.
