The expansion project has been completed and has become operational almost one month ahead of the original schedule of 1 November 2012.
Pouce Coupe South Gas Plant currently processes about 25,500 barrels of oil equivalent per day (boe/day) and is expected to exceed the company’s 2012 exit guidance of 26,000boe/day.
The company is expecting to process around 100 million cubic feet per day (MMcf/d) of natural gas at the end of 2012 and keep 50MMcf/d of processing capacity available for future production growth, thereby avoiding material facilities capital.
Birchcliff president and chief executive officer Jeff Tonken said the PCS Gas Plant was expanded as a part of the company’s strategy to control and increase production while reducing the operating cost per barrel of oil equivalent.
"The PCS Gas Plant is expected to process our Montney/Doig natural gas for more than 30 years," Tonken added.
