Southcross Energy is planning to construct a new natural gas processing plant with a capacity of 200MMcf/d in Refugio County, Texas, US, to expand its capability to process liquids-rich natural gas production from the Eagle Ford Shale area in South Texas.
The construction of the new plant will also include state-of-the-art equipment, and is expected to be complete in the second quarter of 2012.
Southcross Energy will also enhance its gas processing plant located near Gregory, Texas, to increase capacity and improve liquids extraction efficiency.
The processing plants will provide producers with multiple options for residue gas disposition through various pipeline interconnects and connections to the local industrial market in the Corpus Christi Ship Channel.
Southcross Energy chairman and CEO David Biegler said the processing plant projects mesh well with the major pipeline extension the firm is constructing into McMullen County, Texas.
