The company said the Waynoka I and Waynoka II plants will be processing below full capacity.

In compliance with WestOK system current natural gas liquids (NGL) allocation limit, certain volumes will cross with Atlas Pipeline Partners processing facilities.

Additional NGL takeaway has been contracted by Atlas Pipeline Partners, which is expected to be secured in the first half of 2013 once an additional NGL pipeline construction is complete.

"We will be very pleased with the incremental margin that the company will realize as volumes continue to increase and, for Waynoka II, when new NGL takeaway becomes available in the first half of 2013," said Dubay.

"Additionally, we are fully underway in the expansion of our other system, WestTX, and expect to have the driver plant online in the first half of 2013 as well."
