MarkWest Energy Partners MWE (MarkWest) announced today the
commencement of operations of the first Mobley processing facility located in
Wetzel County, West Virginia. The 200 million cubic feet per day (MMcf/d)
plant supports the development of rich-gas from the Marcellus Shale by EQT
Corporation EQT, Magnum Hunter Resources Corporation MHR and
other producers.
The Mobley facility is currently operating at approximately 60% utilization
and will continue to experience accelerated volume growth due to the ongoing
drilling success of MarkWest's producer customers operating in the area.
MarkWest expects to complete construction of its second Mobley facility, a 120
MMcf/d plant, during the first quarter of 2013, and by the fourth quarter of
2013 bring online a third facility with 200 MMcf/d of processing capacity.
Once these announced projects are operational, the Mobley complex will have
approximately 520 MMcf/d of processing capacity in the significant wet-gas
fairway of northern West Virginia. The natural gas liquids (NGLs) recovered at
Mobley are being transported via MarkWest's NGL pipeline gathering network to
the 60,000 barrels per day (Bbl/d) Houston fractionation complex in Washington
County, PA, where they are separated into valuable purity products and
marketed on behalf of producer customers.
