Blue Racer Midstream, LLC (“Blue Racer”) announced today that it has commissioned a second cryogenic processing plant at its Berne Natural Gas Processing Complex (“Berne”) in Monroe County, Ohio. Known as Berne II, the new facility has 200 million cubic feet per day (MMcf/d) of nameplate capacity, bringing Blue Racer’s total processing capacity in the Utica and Marcellus shale plays to 800 MMcf/d. Two 200 MMcf/d plants are now in service at the Berne Complex, and two additional 200 MMcf/d plants are in service at Blue Racer’s Natrium Natural Gas Processing and Fractionation Complex (“Natrium”) in Marshall County, West Virginia. A 30-mile, Y-Grade pipeline connects the Berne Complex to Natrium. Fractionation capacity at Natrium has been expanded to 123,000 barrels per day, enough to serve at least six 200 MMcf/d cryogenic plants. Blue Racer expects to install and commission a fifth processing plant in the first half of 2016 to meet growing customer demand for additional capacity.

Over the course of the past year, Blue Racer’s processed volumes have more than tripled to their current level of 650 MMcf/d, while total gathered volumes, including lean gas, have more than doubled to over 825 MMcf/d.
