Enstor Katy Hub and Gas Storage
Katy is a high-deliverability, multicycle natural gas storage facility located in Fort Bend and Waller counties in Texas. The facility consists of a depleted gas production reservoir, redeveloped as a natural gas storage reservoir, and a dual pipeline header system interconnecting with 16 major natural gas pipelines. The facility’s strategic location and connectivity place it at the intersection of production from the Northeast, South Texas and the Permian Basin. The Katy facility is well-positioned to serve growing market demand for LNG liquefaction and natural gas exports into Mexico.

Katy Storage and Transportation TIP Project
In 2021, the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) and Texas Emissions Reduction Plan (TERP) announced the award recipients for their 2021 New Technology Implementation Grant (NTIG) Program. The grant supports the implementation of new technologies that will reduce the emissions from facilities and other stationary sources in Texas. Enstor Gas was successfully awarded $2.6 million in grant money to help fund the replacement of eight (8) lean burn natural gas engine drivers (Waukesha 7042GL) used in natural gas storage compression service with eight (8) more efficient and lower emissions, rich burn natural gas engines (Waukesha 7044GSI S5).
The project will be constructed on Enstor owned land in Katy, Texas, and, along with replacing existing lean burn engines with rich burn engines, includes reconfiguring the control panel to accommodate the new engine control module and installing a three-way catalyst to reduce NOx emissions from 2.0 g/bhp-hr to 0.15 g/bhp-hr and VOC emissions from 0.767 g/bhp-hr to 0.003 g/bhp-hr. PM emissions will also be reduced from 0.033 g/bhp-hr to 0.01 g/bhp-hr. This project is funded in part by the State of Texas through a New Technology Implementation Grant Program from the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality. Under the terms of the grant the project is slated to be completed by April 2023.
Quarterly progress reports will be submitted in a timely manner summarizing all aspects of the project tasks. The reports can be viewed at: https://www.tceq.texas.gov/airquality/terp/ntig-projects.
