Powering the Permian – DeLa Express LLC to construct 600-mile-long pipeline across West Texas

ODESSA, Texas (KMID/KPEJ) – The DeLa Express LLC. Pipeline is set to be constructed in 2028, running across the state of Texas. Officials with the project sent a statement detailing how this affects West Texas.

“The Project is a proposed long-haul pipeline for liquids-rich natural gas transportation. It will serve to safely ship critical natural gas and liquids supply from the prolific Permian Basin of West Texas to high-demand consumer markets in the U.S. Gulf Coast and international export markets. By aiming to provide much needed natural gas and liquids takeaway capacity, the project will reduce flaring and emissions in the Permian, and by transporting natural gas and liquids in a single mainline, it will minimize the need for right-of-way clearing and have a significantly lower environmental impact,” said a spokesperson for DeLa Express LLC.

The project starts West of Odessa in Reeves County and stretches across parts of Central Texas, The Brazos Valley and parts of Southeast Texas before making its way to Lake Charles, Louisiana. It is said to affect over 3,000 landowners.

A public information session was held last Thursday September 12 ^th at the Lawndale Community Center in Odessa to get feedback from residents.
