Greater Natural Buttes Gas Gathering System
We are planning a plant shut down at the Chipeta Plant for a full 24 hours on Wednesday, November 18th 2008. We will shut down between 6 and 7 A.M. and have zero flow for 24 hours. We will do our best to move as much gas as possible through other outlets but we will be off at least 200 mmscf for the day. This will not affect the NGL pipeline so Questar Stagecoach plant will be able to ship NGL.
Overview
The Chipeta Plant and its Natural Buttes gathering system are destined to become a premier option for gas gathering, processing and marketing in eastern Utah's Uintah Basin. The Natural Buttes Gas Gathering System is more than 700 miles of gas gathering pipeline with 40 gas compressors at 23 sites totaling 57,000 horsepower.
Midstream infrastructure expansions include large-scale introduction of electric-driven compression to increase online performance and minimize emissions as gas production grows.
Anadarko has anchored the construction of the Wyoming Interstate Company (WIC) Kanda lateral; an addition of more than 400 MMcf/d of take-away capacity with the option to expand. At the terminus of WIC, Anadarko Midstream operates a 250 MMcf/d refrigeration plant, at its Chipeta Plant site. Phase II and III of the Chipeta Plant are proposed to be cryogenic plants with Phase II scheduled for startup in 2009.
In addition to WIC, Chipeta Plant residue header will direct connect to CIG and QPC. Anadarko Midstream is working with NWPL on a direct connect so that all area markets will be at Chipeta. These and other significant expansions of the infrastructure will allow Anadarko Midstream to aggressively pursue adding third-party volumes.
