Under the terms of the LOI, MarkWest Utica will develop extensive natural gas gathering infrastructure with Gulfport along with other producers primarily in Harrison, Guernsey, and Belmont counties that is expected to come online this year.
The company will process the gas at its Harrison County processing complex, and will provide NGL fractionation and marketing services at the Harrison County fractionator, where NGL purity products will be marketed by truck, rail, and pipeline.
MarkWest chairman, president and CEO Frank Semple said the full spectrum of natural gas midstream services, particularly the fractionation and marketing of NGLs at a world-scale fractionation complex, is essential to the success of Utica producers
