Wattenberg System
Overview
The Wattenberg System consists of the Wattenberg gathering system and the Fort Lupton processing plant. The system is located north and east of Denver in the DJ Basin of Colorado It has the competitive advantage of the overall lowest average system pressure and historically low FL&U. The system contains 1966 receipt meters that serve approximately 4,500 wells. System pressures range from 80 to 200 psig. The Fort Lupton Processing Plant consists of two refrigeration trains. Anadarko operated production represents about 62% of total system throughput.

Platte Valley System
The Platte Valley System is located north and east of Denver along with our Wattenberg system in the DJ Basin of eastern Colorado The system has approximately 1,054 miles of 2-inch to 12-inch gathering lines and contains approximately 660 receipt points. . The system consists of several sub-systems with pressures ranging from 5 to 80 psig. The system is connected to our Wattenberg gathering system which delivers gas from EnCana, Noble and others to the Platte Valley plant.
