According to the company, the plant capacity will total 80mmcf/d once the expansion is completed.

The plant’s expansion, coupled with additional expansions of related gathering systems, will increase Eagle Rock’s total processing and gathering capacity and accommodate volume growth from the Granite Wash play.

The move is a direct complement to the company’s recent acquisition of the CenterPoint Energy assets which extended its reach into Hemphill and Wheeler counties in its East Panhandle System.

The expansion project is expected to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2011 at a cost of approximately $20m.
