SemCAMS, using its operated gathering pipelines, will transport and deliver NuVista the gas production from the liquids rich Wapiti area to SemCAMS’ Kaybob South 3 gas plant, a world scale sour gas processing facility.

SemCAMS’ general manager David Williams said, "SemCAMS is pleased with NuVista’s commitment to our facilities and the confidence they have in our ability to handle their liquids rich Wapiti area gas production."

This long term commitment is expected to protect NuVista’s investments in wells and field facilities and also ensures that its natural gas and associated products can be monetized in downstream markets.

NuVista is witnessing growing production from the drilling activity in the liquids rich Montney shale play in western Canada.

"The new developments in the Montney and Duvernay are changing gas production in our region and we intend to adapt our facilities as the quality of gas shifts," continued Williams.

"SemCAMS is dedicated to the needs of our customers and we are continuing to design and engineer ways to make our plants more efficient to different qualities of gas."
