BKV Corporation has signed a new agreement with a major diversified midstream energy company to develop a carbon capture and sequestration (CCS) initiative at an active natural gas processing facility in East Texas.
This collaboration builds on an earlier agreement between the two firms for a separate CCS venture in South Texas.
Planned for completion by early 2027, the East Texas CCS project will be integrated directly into the operations of the existing gas plant. According to BKV, the facility is expected to capture around 70,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide annually from its waste stream.
The captured CO2 will be handled entirely by BKV—compressed, transported, and permanently stored via a co-located Class II injection well situated on the same site.
This on-site storage solution removes the need for constructing a high-pressure transport pipeline, significantly streamlining infrastructure requirements.
Although BKV will retain ownership of the East Texas project for now, the asset may be transferred to the company’s recently formed CCS joint venture with Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners.
This addition further strengthens BKV’s growing carbon management portfolio. The company already operates its flagship Barnett Zero CCS facility in North Texas, has broken ground on a separate South Texas site, and is advancing its Cotton Cove project, which has reached final investment decision (FID) and is also targeting first sequestration in the first half of 2027.

Through these initiatives, BKV is positioning itself as a key player in US carbon capture and storage, advancing practical and scalable solutions to industrial decarbonization.
“Deepening our relationships with key partners demonstrates their confidence in our technical and operating expertise in developing and scaling carbon capture, utilization and sequestration projects,” said Chris Kalnin, Chief Executive Officer of BKV.
“As demand for low-carbon energy solutions continues to grow, we are pleased to expand our existing business relationship with one of the largest midstream providers in the United States.”
