Enbridge Energy to Build Texan Gas Processing Plant

Enbridge Energy Partners is to construct a cryogenic natural gas processing plant to support its Anadarko gas gathering system in Texas, US, with an investment of $230m.

The plant will have a capacity of 150 million cubic feet per day and will be strategically located to serve the rapidly growing Granite Wash play, adding natural gas processing capacity to the Anadarko system.

The Anadarko system includes 2,800 miles of natural gas gathering and transportation pipelines in south-west Oklahoma and the Texas Panhandle, a natural gas treating plant and 12 natural gas processing plants.

Enbridge Energy Partners president Mark Maki said that the new plant will bring the firm’s total Anadarko system processing capacity to 1.2 billion cubic feet per day.

The plant is expected to start its services in early 2013.
