HOUSTON, Oct. 7 -- Altagas Income Trust, Calgary, plans to construct, own, and operate a 20 MMcfd sour gas processing plant in the Princess area of southern Alberta.

The plant, which will process production from the northern portions of Gentry Resources Ltd.'s Princess fields, is to start up in December.

An existing 30-km sour gas gathering system will link the Princess plant to the existing Bantry plant.

Gentry, of Calgary, said the additional processing capacity will free up Princess area production capability and enable additional exploration, which has been curtailed by capacity restraints.
