The Younger NGL Extraction Plant is
the sole straddle plant located in British Columbia.
A straddle plant “straddles” large natural
gas pipelines and extracts natural gas liquids from
natural gas before re-injecting the natural gas into
the pipeline. Younger is located at Taylor, near Fort
St. John in northeastern British Columbia. It straddles
three main transmission systems owned by Duke Energy
Gas Transmission, Williams Energy (Canada) Inc. and
Alliance Pipeline. Provident owns 43 percent of the
plant which is operated by Taylor NGL Ltd. Key attributes
of the Younger NGL Extraction Plant include:
-
38,500 barrels per day (bbl/d) capacity, 16, 700
bbl/d of which is net to Provident. NGLs processed
at Younger are transported to the Redwater facility
in Fort Saskatchewan through the LGS system and
Pembina Peace Pipeline.
-
The Younger facility is a key supply hub for BC:
Provident has secured long-term, dedicated supply
from the McMahon and W. Stoddart facilities.
