Chesapeake To Build Conditioning Facility

$50 Million Endeavor To Be Built In DeSoto Parish

POSTED: 11:23 am CDT July 27, 2010

Chesapeake recently completed the first phase of a $50 million endeavor called the North DeSoto Central Facility.

The facility, located off of Louisiana Highway 175, east of Interstate 49 in DeSoto Parish, is expected to grow as production volumes increase. Total investment at the site is expected to be more than $70 million by the end of 2010.

Chesapeake officials say the facility will be capable of removing impurities from up to 1.5 billion cubic feet of natural gas per day before the gas is used by consumers.

Natural gas conditioning involves treating the gas to remove impurities, such as carbon dioxide or hydrogen sulfide, and dehydrating the gas in order to deliver a pipeline-quality product that can be used as fuel by residential, commercial and industrial consumers.
