Project Profile
Value: Undisclosed
Location: Greenbrier County, West Virginia, USA
Capacity: 600 MMcfd (200-MMcfd in each phase)
Start-up Year: November 2012
Sherwood plant is a processing plant located in Greenbrier County, West Virginia, USA and is owned by MarkWest Energy Partners and Antero Resources. The Sherwood plant is divided into three phases. It is now in the first phase of planned processing and produces 200-MMcfd. MarkWest is building the 200-MMcfd second phase there, which it expects to be in service during second-quarter 2013, while the company and Antero reached agreements for potential development of the third processing plant at the same site. It would support additional rich-gas production and bring total processing capacity at Sherwood to 600 MMcfd. MarkWest Energy Partners and Antero Resources begun operations at the Sherwood I processing plant in November 2012. The site is near the center of Antero’s rich-gas production in northern West Virginia; the plant’s associated volumes will be gathered by MarkWest, Antero, and other providers.
MarkWest and Antero estimate future capacity at Sherwood could exceed 1 bcfd with continued development by Antero of its rich-gas acreage. Antero holds more than 200,000 net acres of leasehold in northern West Virginia. The company is currently flowing about 90 MMcfd through Sherwood 1 from a portion of its 104 horizontal Marcellus wells that are producing more than 400 MMcfd of gross operated production in West Virginia. Antero plans to increase Sherwood I throughput over the midterm. Antero will have access to the full suite of MarkWest’s midstream services in the Marcellus and all of the announced ethane and propane pipeline projects, the companies said. NGLs recovered at Sherwood will flow into MarkWest’s NGL pipeline network that also connects its Mobley and Majorsville plants to its Houston, Pa., fractionation and marketing.
