MarkWest Energy Partners has completed work on the 200 million cubic feet per day (MMcf/d) Buffalo Creek cryogenic gas processing plant and associated high pressure trunk line.
The Buffalo Creek plant is expected to increase the company’s total processing capacity in the Anadarko basin to 435 MMcf/d at two major complexes.
MarkWest’s infrastructure offers producers multiple residue gas outlets and access to natural gas liquids takeaway pipelines to Mt Belvieu and Conway.
Chesapeake Energy holds long-term fee-based agreements with the Buffalo Creek facility. The company has dedicated around 130,000 acres throughout the Anadarko basin.
MarkWest expects that volumes at the new facility will increase quickly as Chesapeake has around 100 MMcf/d of existing production that the company has begun to process.
MarkWest Energy Partners president and CEO Frank Semple said that completion of the Buffalo Creek plant is critical to the firm’s ongoing support of Chesapeake’s successful development of the Granite Wash acreage.
