ONEOK Partners has begun operations at its new Garden Creek natural gas processing facility in the US state of North Dakota. The 100 million cubic feet per day (mmcf/d) gas processing plant in eastern McKenzie County is now serving producers in the Bakken Shale region.
ONEOK previously unveiled plans to spend $1.5bn to $1.8bn on its gas gathering and processing and natural gas liquids (NGL) businesses between now and 2014.

In addition to the Garden Creek facility, the company is investing in the Bakken Pipeline, a 500 mile NGL pipeline, which will be completed by the first half of 2013. The investments will also be used for the construction of two additional 100mmcf/d gas processing plants, Stateline I and Stateline II, in western Williams County, North Dakota. The Stateline I facility will be completed by the third quarter of this year, while Stateline II will be completed by the first half of 2013.
ONEOK president Terry Spencer said the completion of the Garden Creek facility is a positive step towards reducing flaring activities in North Dakota, and provides producers with increased natural gas processing capacity for their products.
"The Garden Creek plant is the latest example of ONEOK Partners’ ongoing commitment to bring much needed natural gas gathering and processing infrastructure to the highly productive Bakken Shale region," said Spencer.
ONEOK, a master limited partnership, operates natural gas gathering and processing plants in the Williston Basin, with a gas gathering system of over 3,500 miles and acreage dedications of over 1.9 million acres.
