One will be an eight million cubic feet per day capacity plant in Carlisle, Ohio, and the other a 10 million cubic feet per day capacity plant in Schultz, West Virginia. Commercial operation of the Carlisle plant is anticipated in January 2011 and commercial operation of the Schultz plant is anticipated in May 2011.
The Carlisle plant is expected to allow more local natural gas to be processed and delivered into the Dominion East Ohio local natural gas distribution system. The Schultz plant is expected to allow more local natural gas to be produced into Dominion’s gathering system in West Virginia, processed, and then delivered to market through Dominion Transmission’s interstate pipeline system.
Paul Ruppert, senior vice president of Dominion Transmission, said: “Growing local production calls for increased processing equipment in the Appalachian basin. These projects will benefit both local producers and the local economy. The two new state-of-the-art processing plants will provide high quality natural gas for consumers and will also produce a variety of natural gas liquids valued in the market today.”
