Belmont County, Ohio, Getting Natural Gas Liquids Storage Facility
Tuesday, February 19, 2013
According to the Intelligencer, Dominion Resources is building a 90,000-gallon natural gas liquids storage facility in Belmont County.
The plant will be able to process 200 million cubic feet of natural gas per day. It will produce 36,000 barrels of ethane, propane, butane and pentane daily.
The $1.5 billion project is a collaboration between Dominion and Caiman Energy.
Read it:
“The $1.5 billion venture – known as Blue Racer Midstream – is a collaboration of Dominion and Caiman Energy. In the natural gas and oil industry, the term “midstream” broadly refers to pipelines that gather and transport gas and oil, processing plants, fractionators and compressor stations. With continued development, the system could eventually transport “at least 2 billion cubic feet of natural gas per day,” according to Blue Racer.”
Dominion isn’t the only company building processing facilities in eastern Ohio. MarkWest Energy is building large plants near Cadiz and Hopedale.
The purpose of the plant is to separate and store the propane and ethane from the raw gas transported via pipeline to the facility. This particular plant’s gas stream comes from Chesapeake Energy operations throughout the Ohio Valley.
