WaterBridge Seeks Shipper Commitments for Speedway Phase II Water Pipeline

WaterBridge has launched an open season for its Speedway Phase II long-haul produced water pipeline in the Delaware Basin, seeking commitments to add 500,000 bpd of new disposal capacity.

(P&GJ) — WaterBridge Infrastructure has opened a binding open season to support construction of the second phase of its Speedway long-haul produced water pipeline in the Northern Delaware Basin.

The open season began Feb. 23 and will run through April 20, seeking shipper commitments for the proposed Speedway Phase II Pipeline.

The project would transport produced water from Eddy and Lea counties, New Mexico, to out-of-basin disposal pore space in the Central Basin Platform owned by WaterBridge affiliate LandBridge Company LLC.

If fully subscribed, Phase II would add up to 500,000 barrels per day (bpd) of incremental throughput capacity, doubling the overall system’s capacity to 1 million bpd when combined with the initial 500,000 bpd phase. WaterBridge reached a final investment decision on Phase I in September 2025.

“The Speedway Phase II Pipeline is an important step in expanding our capacity to serve the growing need for responsible produced water handling solutions in the Northern Delaware Basin,” said Michael “Chop” Reitz, President and Chief Operating Officer of WaterBridge. “We are committed to remaining the flow assurance provider of choice for our E&P customers through large-scale infrastructure projects like this one to support continued growth in the region.”

The Phase II system is designed to serve incremental customer demand beyond the original Speedway project and expand long-haul water takeaway capacity as drilling activity continues across the basin.
