Driven by the continued development of the Montney play, Spectra Energy is building the Dawson Processing Plant to process raw natural gas from the South Peace region to meet the scale, scope and timing of our customers' processing needs.

The project involves the construction of a double train gas processing plant featuring inlet separation, compressor facilities, a vapour recovery unit, and a radio communications tower.

Raw natural gas will be processed at the plant, meaning that CO2, natural gas liquids and H2S will be extracted. H2S and CO2 removed at the plant will be blended with raw gas gathered upstream of the plant and transported to the South Peace Pipeline for processing at Spectra Energy's existing McMahon Gas Plant. The processed sales gas will be transported via a short connector to the NGTL Groundbirch Pipeline.

Construction, which began in Q1, 2011 is being completed in two phases, with Phase 1 projected to come into service in Q4 2011 and Phase 2 in Q1 2013.
