Industry Briefs

Calgary-based Gemini Corp. said Wednesday that its new natural gas processing facility in Burstall, SK has successfully commenced operations. “This is significant because it is the first custom gas processing facility to be designed, constructed, owned and operated by the corporation,” said Carl Johnson, CEO. “We will continue to pursue similar projects, including those outside the oil and gas sector, since we believe that this type of service has strong growth potential and could represent an important part of the corporation’s future operations.” The initial design capacity of the plant is 3.8 MMcf/d with provision to expand to 7 MMcf/d. The cost was approximately $1 million and it should generate revenues of $3.6 million over the next 10 years, the company estimated. The anticipated life of this project is in excess of 15 years based on estimates of recoverable reserves in the immediate area. Gemini supplies engineering, project management, fabrication and construction, custom contract operating services and electrical and instrumentation services in Canada and internationally, predominantly to the oil and gas industry.
