gather, compress and dehydrate low-pressure gas. We have 15 natural gas producing facilities and approximately 13,500 miles of gathering pipeline.
We operate our mid-continent gathering systems at low pressures to maximize the total throughput volumes from the connected wells. Wellhead pressures are
therefore adequate to allow for flow of natural gas into the gathering lines without the cost of wellhead compression.
We also own the Hugoton gathering system that has 1,900 miles of pipeline extending over nine counties in Kansas and Oklahoma. This system is operated
by a third party.
Eastern Region
• Approximately 500 miles of natural gas pipeline
The eastern region assets are located in Pennsylvania, Ohio, and West Virginia, and gather natural gas from the Marcellus and Utica basins. Our eastern
gathering assets include approximately 500 miles of natural gas gathering pipeline, natural gas trunkline pipelines, and fresh water pipelines, and the
Lycoming, Wyoming, East Lycoming, Bradford, Green County, and Preston gathering and processing systems.
We also own a 51% membership interest in Aqua – PVR, a joint venture that transports and supplies fresh water to natural gas producers drilling in the
Marcellus Shale in Pennsylvania.
We and Traverse ORS LLC, a subsidiary of Traverse Midstream Partners LLC, own a 75% and 25% membership interest, respectively, in the ORS joint
venture. On behalf of ORS, we constructed and are operating its Ohio Utica River System, (the “ORS System”) which was completed in 2015 and consists of a
52-mile, 36-inch gathering trunkline that will be capable of delivering up to 2.1 Bcf/d to Rockies Express Pipeline (“REX”) and Texas Eastern Transmission,
and potentially others and the construction of 25,000 horsepower of compression at the REX interconnect. This project also included the construction of a
12-mile, 30-inch lateral that connected to the tailgate of the Cadiz processing plant and Harrison County wellhead production.
Other Midstream Assets
The midstream segment also includes our interests in various midstream assets located in Texas, New Mexico and Louisiana, with approximately 60 miles of
gathering pipelines aggregating a combined capacity of approximately 115 MMcf/d, as well as one conditioning facility and our Rebel processing plant with
capacity of 180 MMcf/d. We also own approximately 27 miles of gathering pipelines serving the Marcellus Shale in West Virginia with aggregate capacity
of approximately 250 MMcf/d.
Liquids Transportation and Services
The following details our assets in the liquids transportation and services segment. Certain assets, as discussed below, are owned by Lone Star in which we
have a 100% interest.
West Texas System
• Capacity of 137,000 Bbls/d
• Approximately 1,170 miles of NGL transmission pipelines
The West Texas System, owned by Lone Star, is an intrastate NGL pipeline consisting of 3-inch to 16-inch long-haul, mixed NGLs transportation pipeline
that delivers 137,000 Bbls/d of capacity from processing plants in the Permian Basin and Barnett Shale to the Mont Belvieu NGL storage facility.
West Texas Gateway Pipeline
• Capacity of 209,000 Bbls/d
• Approximately 570 miles of NGL transmission pipeline
The West Texas Gateway Pipeline, owned by Lone Star, began service in December 2012 and transports NGLs produced in the Permian and Delaware Basins
and the Eagle Ford Shale to Mont Belvieu, Texas.
