Comments on the ownership information

  • FOR CANADIAN NATURAL GAS PROCESSING PLANTS, PLANT OWNERSHIP IS STATED IN TERMS OF THE COMPANY WHO OPERATES THE PLANT.

Production statistics

  • Year 1983
    Description Plant Design Capacity 3662000 Cub-Met/Day Raw Gas Inlet

Comments on the production information

  • PRODUCTS FORM THIS OPERATION ARE ELEMENTAL SULFUR (A); SWEET NATERAL GAS (SALES GAS-B); AND VARIOUS HYDROCARBON CONDENSATES SUCH AS ETHANE, PROPANE, ECT. CAPACITY UNITS SHOULD BE IN TERMS OF 1000 CUBIC METERS PER DAY RAW GAS INLET, FOR RECORDS PB AND PC. OUT PUT UNITS RECORD PB, ALSO 1000 CUBIC METERS PER DAY; RECORD PC IS JUST CUBIC METERS PER DAY.

Comments on the reserve resource information

  • SOUR GAS PROCESSING PLANTS DO NOT HAVE RESERVES OR RESOURCES PERSAY. PLANT OPERATE AT A SPECIFED RAW GAS INLET CAPACITY. THE CAPACITY FOR THIS PLANT, AS PUBLISHED IS 3,662,000 CUBIC METERS PER DAY OVER A 350 DAY OPERATING YEAR. THIS CAPACITY CONTAINS ABOUT 261 MT PER DAY SULFUR. APPROXIMATELY 256 MT PER DAY CAN BE RECOVERED FORM THIS RAW GAS.
  • NO ASSAY/FORM CHOISE FOR; RECORD 02, RECOVERED SWEET NATURAL GAS, IE "SALES GAS"; AND RECORD 03, THE VARIOUS HYDROCARBONS CONDENSATES THAT ARE RECOVERED.
  • QUANTITY DATA IS IN TERMS OF 1000 CUBIC METERS OF RAW INLET GAS PER DAY. Q1C1 IS BASED ON THE PLANTS DESIGN INLET CAPACITY OVER THE 17 YEAR STUDY LIFE. Q1C3 IS BASED ON AN ERCB PLANT FORECAST CAPACITY FROM 1988, THIS FORECAST ESTIMATE COVERS THE YEARS 1988 TO 1997, 2002 AND 2007.
