The plan includes capacity additions to two existing plants, Mewbourne and Lucerne, both located in Weld County. The expansions are expected to increase DCP’s gas processing capacity in the area by 80 million cubic feet per day (MMcf/d) to over 400MMcf/d.
Along with the installation of new equipment, DCP will utilize existing sites, equipment and infrastructure contributing to an anticipated fourth quarter 2009 completion.
Tom O’Connor, chairman, president and CEO of DCP, said: This expansion is part of an ongoing series of optimization projects we have undertaken to increase area capacity and improve reliability and service to our producers and customers. It is especially beneficial to provide the infrastructure to help satisfy the country’s demand for a clean, domestic energy supply.
