SemCams gets AER approval for new gas plant

SemCams says it has received Alberta Energy Regulator approval to build a new sour gas plant in the Pipestone area.
 
It would be able to process 280 million cubic feet of gas per day.
 
When it applied for regulatory approval back in August of 2017, SemCams said there would be no emissions from the plant. The facility would remove sulphur from the gas to make it sellable.
 
The company’s new Wapiti Gas Plant, also in the Wembley area, is expected to be operational in the first three months of 2019.
 
SemCams has announced in a news release that 95 percent of the plant’s capacity has been sold after reaching a 70 million cubic feet per day agreement with an unnamed company. SemCams says in a news release that it is  a “large international oil and gas company.”
 
A new pipeline that would connect the two is also under construction. It should start moving gas in the last three months of next year.
