Under the agreements, Spectra Energy will provide a total 370 MMcf/d of natural gas gathering and processing services to support Montney production.
The agreements provide for 210 MMcf/d of new service, in addition to the renewal of current contracts, which allows Spectra Energy to continue to provide natural gas gathering and processing to much of Progress’ incremental production in the area.
Spectra Energy is a provider of natural gas gathering and processing services in the expanding Montney play through more than 2,200 km of gathering pipeline and interests in ten processing plants with over 1.5 Bcf/d of gas processing capacity. These gathering and processing services will be provided to Progress at Spectra Energy’s Highway, Jedney and McMahon facilities, and through reactivation of the Aitken Creek gas plant.
The Montney play is a world-class unconventional natural gas resource in northeast British Columbia and northwest Alberta. It is estimated to contain approximately 450 Tcf of original gas in place.
