Antrim Gathering and Treating

The Partnership owns and operates an approximately 440 mile gas gathering pipeline system that delivers gas to five natural gas treating complexes located in northern Michigan. The treating facilities have natural gas throughput capacity of almost 500* million cubic feet per day (MMcf/d). Antrim Shale natural gas production requires the removal of carbon dioxide in order to meet downstream gas pipeline quality specifications.

The Antrim Shale is one of the nation’s earliest shale plays, with production of over 2.5 TCF from 9,300 wells since the early 1990s.
