ONEOK Partners LP plans to invest about $480 million to $680 million between now and the end of third-quarter 2016 to construct new natural gas processing facilities in North Dakota and Wyoming. Announced construction includes:
- Build a new 80 million cubic feet per day (MMcf/d) natural gas processing facility, called the Bear Creek plant, and related infrastructure in northwest Dunn County, N.D., which will process gas produced from the Bakken Shale in the Williston Basin; and
- Build a new 100 MMcf/d natural gas processing facility, called the Bronco plant, and related infrastructure in southern Campbell County, Wyo., which will process gas produced from the Turner, Frontier, Sussex and Niobrara Shale formations in the Powder River Basin.
“In 2014, the partnership has announced $1.5 billion to $1.9 billion in capital-growth projects—a continuation of our $7.5 billion to $8.2 billion capital-growth program planned through 2016,” said Terry K. Spencer, president and CEO of ONEOK Partners. “The Bear Creek and Bronco plants will increase our natural gas processing capacity across our operating footprint by 180 MMcf/d and add additional natural gas and natural gas liquids volumes on our systems. These projects further demonstrate the value of the partnership's integrated operations that allows us to better serve area producers.”
ONEOK Partners has constructed, or is building, 11 new gas processing plants and related gas gathering infrastructure across its operating footprint since 2010—including eight in the Williston Basin, where the partnership's natural gas processing capacity in the region is expected to increase by more than 11 times by the end of 2016, compared with 2010.
