ONEOK Plans Another Bakken Gas Plant

Oklahoma-based ONEOK Partners has announced plans to build a new 100 million cubic feet per day (MMcf/d) natural gas processing facility – the Garden Creek III plant and related infrastructure – in eastern McKenzie County, N.D., in the Williston Basin,

The Garden Creek III natural gas processing plant and related infrastructure, including expansions and upgrades to the partnership's existing natural gas gathering systems and compression, are expected to cost approximately $325 million to $360 million and be in service during the first quarter of 2015.  This new natural gas processing facility will be built near the partnership's existing Garden Creek I natural gas processing plant and the announced Garden Creek II natural gas processing plant, which is expected to be in service during the third quarter of 2014.

The partnership's previously announced Stateline II natural gas processing plant is expected to be in service during the first quarter of 2013.  When completed, the natural gas processing capacities of the Garden Creek II and III plants, and the Stateline II plant combined with the existing Garden Creek, Stateline I and Grasslands natural gas processing facilities will be 590 MMcf/d in the Williston Basin.

ONEOK Partners is the largest independent operator of natural gas gathering and processing facilities in the Williston Basin, with a natural gas gathering system of more than 5,000 miles and acreage dedications of approximately 3.1 million acres.
