The figure shows gas processing plants in Alberta. The size of each circle corresponds to the plant’s raw gas processing capacity.
The largest straddle plants, each with a capacity exceeding 1 Bcf/d, are:
- Empress 1–5 Gas Plant (Keyera Midstream Canada Ltd.) — 6.24 Bcf/d
- Cochrane Extraction Plant (Inter Pipeline Extraction Ltd.) — 2.49 Bcf/d
- Empress 6 Gas and Frac Plant (Keyera Midstream Canada Ltd.) — 2.40 Bcf/d
- PANCDN Empress (Pembina NGL Corporation) — 1.19 Bcf/d
The map primarily shows gas plants with capacities of 0.1 Bcf/d or greater.
Most field gas processing plants are located in western Alberta, particularly in the Montney, Deep Basin, and Duvernay producing areas. Some straddle facilities, including the Empress and Cochrane plants, are located along major natural gas transmission systems. Alberta has substantial existing gas processing capacity. However, processing infrastructure may need to be expanded in areas experiencing the fastest natural gas production growth, particularly in the Montney and Deep Basin.
