Together
Howard Energy Partners provides its customers with an integrated platform of midstream infrastructures and services from wellhead to market. We take great pride in providing high-quality, timely and reliable services in a safe and environmentally friendly way. We also understand the challenges our customers face and remain committed to meeting their needs and creating value for our partners.

Diversified Assets
Since the beginning, our strategy has been to build a diversified, sustainable midstream company through organic growth and acquisitions with a focus on long-term value creation. All of our assets are equally important. Each one plays a role in our long-term growth strategy.
Below is some information on just a few of our projects. Contact us for more information on all of our assets.

Port Arthur
Port Arthur is one of the most strategically located facilities near one of the busiest refining locations in North America. We have developed and expanded our midstream infrastructure at this location to efficiently handle a variety of bulk liquids, including refined fuels, renewable diesel, crude oil, and condensate. Today, this first-of-its-kind, state-of-the-art facility has deepwater access and serves some of the largest energy companies in the world. We have 1.4 million barrels of storage, capable of loading custom blend products onto outgoing AfraMax ships, as well as the capability to load one unit train per day with refined products being shipped to Mexico.
In October 2022, we expanded our Port Arthur facility to support local renewable diesel production, a fuel that is integral as we continue to find ways to help reduce carbon emissions. The expansion added 575 thousand barrels of storage and 51 thousand barrels per day of rail capacity with the ability to service unit trains and manifest service from two railroads, and pipeline connectivity to local refiners and major refined product distribution hubs. Future expansion will result in a total of three large barge docks and two ship docks. Our goal is to help bring sustainable, clean-burning fuel to market as the demand for renewable diesel continues to strengthen.

Live Oak Stabilizer
The Live Oak Stabilizer, located in the heart of the Eagle Ford Shale, is a 15,000 barrel-per-day facility that provides a firm, field-level sales point and processing outlet for both on-spec and off-spec hydrocarbon liquids. Until its completion, the nearest available facility for oil and gas operators to dispose of these liquids was over 400 miles away via heavy truck transport. Our team thought outside the box and was able to build a one-of-a-kind facility that transforms a waste stream into three separate marketable products – condensate, y-grade natural gas liquids and rich gas, saving approximately 1.6 million gallons of diesel per year. The Live Oak Stabilizer not only unlocked hidden value for our customers, but also reduced 15.6 million truck miles per year across Texas highways.

Nueva Era
The approximately 200-mile Nueva Era pipeline, a joint venture between Howard Energy Partners and Mexico-based Grupo Clisa, is the first cross-border pipeline that directly links South Texas natural gas production to end-users in and around Monterrey, Mexico. Today, the Nueva Era pipeline provides a reliable supply of low-cost natural gas to the rapidly growing industrial sector of northern Mexico, displacing between 8.7 and 11.9 million metric tons of CO2e per year while simultaneously providing a whole new market outlet for natural gas producers in South Texas. Increasing the exportation of natural gas to Mexico provides a cleaner and cheaper fuel alternative and is a significant and positive factor in helping solve the socioeconomic issues that impact the region.

West Texas
The Delaware Basin is one of the most sought-after and competitive oil and gas producing regions in the country. We are proud to have been chosen by Devon Energy as their premier midstream partner, to jointly develop natural gas treating, processing, and gathering infrastructure in the region. Since the Delaware basin produces primarily crude oil, natural gas is often a byproduct that is flared. Today, 0ur Stateline Plant processes over 400 million cubic feet of natural gas per day at our facility and 2.33 million gallons per day of natural gas liquids (NGL’s), that will be turned into thousands of useful everyday products. Current construction will increase that capacity to 600 million cubic feet per day of natural gas processing. Pipelines and cryogenic processing plants, like we have built in this area, reduce flaring in the area and turns an otherwise waste gas stream into economically viable product streams of natural gas and natural gas liquids.

Javelina Off-Gas Recycling Facility
Built originally by a consortium of local refiners to upgrade emissions streams that were being flared or vented to the atmosphere, Javelina continues to serve a vital role in improving air quality in the Corpus Christi area and returning value to its refinery customers. With CO2 treating, cryogenic gas processing, fractionation, and hydrogen production, Javelina stands as a unique example of technological innovation and industry collaboration. Starting in Jan of 2023, a strategic technology partner will begin producing a low-carbon diesel substitute using Javelina’s hydrogen and CO2 as feedstocks, in the process reducing Javelina’s CO2 intensity and making it one of the first merchant “clean” hydrogen facilities on the US Gulf Coast. HEP is also pursuing carbon capture and sequestration opportunities with its Javelina assets through a joint venture with TALOS Energy and the Port of Corpus Christi.
