Oneok Partners Investing Millions In Garden Creek II Plant

Wednesday, August 01, 2012

Oneok Partners plans to invest US$980 million to US$1.1 billion between now and 2014 on a variety of projects. One of those projects consists of building a new 100 MMcfd (2.8 X 106 m3) natural gas processing facility – the Garden Creek II plant – in eastern McKenzie County, North Dakota, U.S.A., in the Bakken Shale in the Williston Basin.

The Garden Creek II plant and related infrastructure, including expansions and upgrades to its existing natural gas gathering and compression, is expected to cost US$310 million to US$345 million and should be in service during the third quarter of 2014. The new natural gas processing facility will be built adjacent to the partnership’s existing Garden Creek natural gas processing plant, which was completed in December 2011, Oneok Partners said.

The partnership's previously announced Stateline I and Stateline II natural gas processing plants are expected to be in service during the third quarter this year and the first half of 2013, respectively. When completed, the combined natural gas processing capacities of the Garden Creek II plant, the Stateline I and II plants, and the existing Garden Creek and Grasslands natural gas processing facilities, will be 490 MMcfd (13.8 X 106 m3) in the Williston Basin.
