Dominion to Build US Gas Processing Plant

US-based energy company Dominion is to start construction of a new natural gas processing and fractionation plant along the Ohio River in Natrium, West Virginia, US.

Under the first phase of the project, the plant will process up to 200 million cubic feet per day of natural gas and fractionate 36,000 barrels of natural gas liquids per day.

Dominion chairman, president and CEO Thomas Farrell II said that the firm is working to secure additional producer commitments for a second phase of the project and will expand the Natrium facility to process a total of 400 million cubic feet of natural gas per day and fractionate 59,000 barrels of natural gas liquids per day.

The firm has exercised its option with PPG Industries to purchase land and locate the new plant adjacent to PPG’s Natrium facility in Marshall County.
