A May, 2009 report stated that Mark West Energy and NGP Midstream & Resources LP (M&R) closed a joint venture known as MarkWest Liberty Midstream & Resources. It is to focus on construction and operation of midstream services in support of Marcellus shale gas production for its customers. It is 40 percent owned by M&R and 60 percent by MarkWest and operated by the latter. MarkWest contribued roughly $100 million of its existing Marcellus assets. M&R will contribute $200 million which is roughly the amount needed to fund the project during 2009. MarkWest will invest yet another $200 million by the end of 2011.

Also in May, MarkWest announced several new developments for the Liberty joint venture.

It was to:
* be operating a new cryogenic plant with throughput of 

30 Mmcf/d.

* have a new refrigeration plant by year-end-2009 with a capacity of 

80 to 100 Mmcf/d.

* install a 120 Mmcf/d cryogenic processing plant at its Houston, Pennsylvania plant to be completed in early 2010.
* open a second 120 Mmcf/d cryogenic plant roughly 30 miles 

southwest of the Houston one.

Also, it already operates:
* six compressor stations and will add three more before 

year-end-2009

MarkWest plans to build significant natural gas liquids (NGL) infrastructure including:
* pipeline capacity
* storage
* rail car and truck loading facility
