HOUSTON, Sept.10 -- Calgary-based AltaGas Income Trust plans to expand its Saskatchewan operations by constructing a $5.5 million sour gas processing plant and 37 km of pipeline near Shaunavon, Sask.
The field plant, slated to begin initial operations by mid-November, initially will process 1 MMcfd of solution gas from two oil batteries. Plant facilities will include amine and liquids recovery equipment and booster and plant compression. In exchange for processing the gas AltaGas will share in the proceeds from sales of the gas and associated liquids.
AltaGas said it would "pursue similar infrastructure development opportunities in Saskatchewan" as producers develop land in the region.
