Mid-Continent
Hugoton Gathering System / Hugoton Residue Delivery System
Overview
The Hugoton Gathering System ("HGS") provides gathering service to the Hugoton field area and is primarily located in Seward, Stevens, Grant and Morton counties of Southwest Kansas and Texas County in Oklahoma. HGS connects to DCP Midstream, LP's National Helium Plant, which extracts natural gas liquids (NGL's) and helium, and redelivers residue gas into PEPL. The system is also connected to Pioneer's Satanta Plant for NGL processing and helium extraction, and to the Kansas Gas Service which provides access to PEPL and NNG pipelines. Revenues are generated from gathering fees charged shippers through contractual arrangements negotiated by AGC. Average volumes in 2009 were 123 MMcf/d.
The Hugoton Residue Delivery System ("HRDS") is a utility registered in the state of Kansas. The HRDS was established in October 1999 by isolating a pipeline system capable of accepting delivery of residue gas from Mid-Continent Market Center and redelivering the residue gas for regional sales, compression fuel, and irrigation sales. The residue gas offsets wet gas previously used for these deliveries and allows the wet gas to be processed for NGLs and helium. The HRDS includes approximately 50 miles of pipeline with deliveries of 10 - 15 MMcf/d based on heating load and fuel requirements.
