Project Profile
Value: US$800-900 million
Location: Wapiti , Grand Prairie, Alberta, USA
Sour gas processing plant: 150 mcf/d
Start-up: I Phase - Mid-2019
The Wapiti natural gas gathering & processing complex will be located in the Wapiti area south of Grand Prairie, Alberta. The complex is expected to be capable of processing 300 mmcf/d of sour gas and 25 mbbl/d of field condensate. The complex is expected to include a sour gas processing plant with acid gas injection capabilities, condensate processing facilities, and associated gathering systems and infrastructure. The project will be divided into two 150 mmcf/d phases, with the first phase expected to be in service by mid-2019. The first phase of the Project includes a 150 million cubic feet per day sour gas processing plant with acid gas injection capabilities and 25,000 barrels per day of condensate processing facilities, as well as a gathering pipeline system and field compressor stations. Based on the proposed construction schedule, operations are targeted to start up in mid-2019. Phase one is estimated at US$470 million as it includes the build-out of certain infrastructure sufficient to support both phases. Keyera now expects to invest growth capital of between US$800 million and US$900 million in 2017.
Keyera is actively negotiating with several other producers in the area to nominate additional volumes and permit sanctioning of the second phase of the Project. Phase two would add an additional 150 million cubic feet per day of sour gas processing capacity and extend the gathering system at an incremental cost of approximately US$155 million. The total cost of the two-phased Project is expected to be approximately US$625 million.
