Pembina Pipeline plans to build, own and operate an approximately $110m shallow-cut gas plant and associated natural gas liquids (NGL) and gas-gathering pipelines near its existing Musreau facility in west central Alberta.

The new plant, Musreau II, will have the capacity to produce 100 million cubic feet per day (MMcf/d) and will be part of the company’s Cutbank Complex.

The new facility will extract propane-plus (C3+), which is expected to yield around 4,200 barrels of NGL per day to transport on Pembina’s conventional pipelines.

The volume from the new Musreau II facility is also expected to support the company’s previously announced conventional pipeline expansions.

Pembina Pipeline CEO Bob Michaleski said that the company has secured long-term contracts for another field gas processing and gathering infrastructure development and services.

"Musreau II will provide much-needed processing capacity for our customers located in an attractive area with strong liquids-rich natural gas supply growth," he said.

The Musreau II facility, which is expected to be in service in the first quarter of 2015, is subject to regulatory and environmental approval.

Pembina’s Gas Services currently holds 368MMcf/d net shallow cut processing capacity and a 205MMcf/d of deep cut processing capacity.

It plans to produce additional 200MMcf/d in the third quarter of 2013 from Saturn I, while another 200MMcf/d in the third quarter of 2014 from Resthaven and a further 200MMcf/d in late 2015 from Saturn II.

Pembina’s gas processing capacity is expected to reach around 1.2 billion MMcf/d by the end of 2015 with the addition of Musreau II.
