DCP Midstream Partners LP announced that its O'Connor Plant, formerly known as the LaSalle Plant, is now in commercial operation.
The O'Connor Plant is a deep-cut cryogenic, natural gas processing plant located near Kersey, Colorado, in the rapidly expanding, liquids-rich DJ basin that is part of the growing Niobrara shale formation. The new name honors Tom O'Connor, chairman of the board of DCP Midstream Partners, and former chief executive and chairman of DCP Midstream LLC.
The O'Connor Plant is part of an eight-plant super-system owned and operated by the DCP enterprise, with approximately 600 million cubic feet per day of total capacity. The plant has an initial capacity of 110 million cubic feet (MMcf) per day. Expansion to 160 MMcf per day is expected to be completed in the first half of 2014.
