Moving forward with processing plants
Monday, June 18, 2012
Despite selling its pipeline interests, Chesapeake Energy is moving forward with plans to build a natural gas processing network in eastern Ohio, according to The Business Journal.
Two processing plants are expected to begin construction. The plants will be in Columbiana and Harrison counties. Each plant will cost $900 million.
Here’s an excerpt:
The Columbiana project, planned for a site in Kensington just across the Carroll County border, would be a processing plant that separates dry gas from natural gas liquids. The liquid gas would then be piped to the proposed Harrison County fractionation complex, which would separate the wet gas into specific products such as ethane, propane and butane.
It’s confirmed that the processing system is among the assets that Chesapeake Midstream Development LP sold to MRC Global.
