The company will invest $75m to construct high-pressure gathering lines which will allow transmitting crude to the processing facility.
Expansion will see an increase of processing capacity of the facility to 210 MMcf/d by adding an incremental 70 MMcf/d of cryogenic processing capacity and 20 MMcf/d of JT capacity.
Regency Energy Partners chief commercial officer Jim Holotik said the company’s processing volume has grown during 2012 owing to increased drilling activity.
"This expansion will allow us to process new production from the area and provide more efficient liquids recovery across the facility," said Holotik.
The project is expected to commence operations in 2013.
Regency Energy Partners general partner is owned by Energy Transfer Equity.
