The gas plant, which will have a processing capacity of 120 Mmcf/d, will be equipped with liquids extraction facilities to capture the natural gas liquids.

The facility to be built in two phases is expected to be in service by late next year.

AltaGas chairman and CEO David Cornhill said the processing facility is an exceptional gas infrastructure project that showcases the company’s ability to deliver its growth objectives.

The project will allow for early production to AltaGas’s Pouce Coupe facility late next year.
