Plains All American Pipeline, L.P. (NYSE:PAA), today announced that its wholly owned subsidiary Plains Gas Solutions, LLC ("PGS" and formerly known as CDM MAX, LLC) plans to construct a cryogenic gas processing plant with deep cut ethane plus recoveries and specification product fractionation capability, at its multi-product Ross Complex near Ross, North Dakota. The Ross Gas plant is expected to be sized to process 50-75 million cubic feet per day (MMCFD) of gas and is scheduled to be in service in the spring of 2013. PGS has executed a letter of intent with an anchor customer to provide long-term natural gas supply for the plant, and is in active negotiations with additional potential customers to appropriately size the facility.

"The addition of gas processing and fractionation capability at our Ross Complex complements our expanding Bakken area crude oil and NGL operations, strengthening PAA's ability to provide a wide range of services for hydrocarbons produced in the region," stated Harry N. Pefanis, President and Chief Operating Officer of PAA.

The Ross Gas Plant will be capable of producing stabilized condensate, purity ethane, specification propane, as well as a butane plus raw-make NGL stream, and will deliver pipeline quality residue gas into Williston Basin Interstate Pipeline Company's transmission system at the tailgate of the facility. In addition to the gas plant, PAA's Ross Complex includes rail-loading and storage facilities. The NGL portion and the first phase of the crude oil portion of the rail facility were recently commissioned with a design capacity to trans-load 8,500 barrels per day of NGLs and 20,000 barrels per day of crude oil. The second phase of the crude oil facility, which is targeted to be in service by the fourth quarter of 2012, will provide unit train loading capability of up to 65,000 barrels per day and will be served by a new 16-mile, 10" crude oil pipeline extending from PAA's Robinson Lake pipeline near Stanley, North Dakota to the Ross Complex.
