The Harrison Hub |
Read the rest of the story here.The Harrison Hub hosted a "turn the valves" ceremonial opening Monday afternoon, attended by Ohio Gov. John Kasich, state Sen. Lou Gentile, D-Steubenville, various Harrison, Columbiana, and Carroll county elected officials and leaders of Utica East Ohio Buckeye.UEO is a combination of three companies: Access Midstream, M3 Midstream and EV Energy Partners. The Harrison Hub facility is Ohio's first integrated natural gas processing and fractionation complex serving producers operating in the Utica shale region. The plant processes 45,000 barrels per day and also has significant space for storage and a rail transportation system. Fractionation is a process different from fracking, meaning the Harrison Hub serves as a distillery for product that comes from a cryogenic processing plant near Kensington.The crude product can be separated into more valuable products like butane, propane and methane. The Kensington plant processes more than 200 hundred million cubic feet of gas per day, according to M3 Midstream CEO Frank Tsuru. The UEO Buckeye System extends from Columbiana County to the north, and goes through Carroll County to Harrison County.
