Who likely operates it

NAVITAS MIDSTREAM PARTNERS LLC Strong evidence

Parent company: Navitas Midstream (acquired by Enterprise Products Partners, 2022)

Taylor Gas Plant (processing plant)

Evidence

Taylor Gas Plant (processing plant) operated by NAVITAS MIDSTREAM PARTNERS LLC, 0.34 km from plume; 2 NAVITAS MIDSTREAM PARTNERS LLC assets within 1 km ↗
Draft research (cites A1, A2): The Taylor Gas Plant, operated by Navitas Midstream, is only 0.34 km from the plume site, with another Navitas facility (Newberry) nearby, making Navitas the most probable operator; note Navitas was acquired by Enterprise Products Partners in 2022, which may now be the responsible parent entity.
