MarkWest Energy Partners, L.P. builds and maintains gas gathering systems and plants. Their Marcellus shale assets include refrigeration processing facilities, compressor stations, and miles of high pressure gathering lines. These are dedicated to Range Resources' Marcellus production.

According to an October, 2008 report, MarkWest has invested $200 million in this infrastructure project and has already completed a refrigeration plant in Chartiers Township, Washington County in southwestern Pennsylvania. It will have the capacity of processing 30 million cubic feet (Mmcf) of natural gas per day. Other plans include:

• A cryogenic processing plant with a capcity of 30 Mmcf per day. It will be built next to the refrigeration plant in Chartiers Township. It will produce propane from gas for local southwestern-Pennsylvania consumption using a depropanizer. This will be complete in the first quarter of 2009.

• Another cryogenic plant to extract gas liquids. Its capacity will be 120 MMcf per day and will be done in late 2009.
