Frontier Gas acquires Fayetteville Shale systems

The assets include approximately 20,000 horsepower of leased compression, two natural gas treating facilities and 38 miles of constructed 8-, 10-, 12- and 16-in. steel pipe with current capacity to deliver more than 100 MMcfd into the Boardwalk and Ozark pipelines. Frontier plans to significantly expand the assets, including interconnects with the Fayetteville Express Pipeline, in 2011. Chesapeake Energy Marketing, Inc. has dedicated its interest in a defined area adjacent to the two gathering systems and has an aggressive drilling plan in progress.
