Lost Cabin Gas Plant Remains Idle After Fire
By Dustin Bleizeffer
Production has not resumed at ConocoPhillips’ Lost Cabin natural gas processing facility in Fremont County since an early morning explosion and fire on June 1.
The explosion and fire caused severe damage.
No one was hurt in the incident, according to company officials and local emergency responders.
ConocoPhillips spokesman Jim Lowry said Tuesday that an investigation to determine the cause of the fire is ongoing. In the meantime, no employees have been sent home.
Lowry said all of the employees who normally work at the plant are involved in the investigation, ongoing maintenance and repairs to get the plant back into operation.
The Lost Cabin facility processes “sour” gas from wells that reach several miles down into the Madison formation. The maximum operating capacity at the plant is 313 million cubic feet (Mmcf) of gas per day — enough to serve 3,130 homes for a year.
STATE ALLOWS CO2 VENTING
Also on Tuesday, state regulators granted a one-year extension allowing ConocoPhillips’ Lost Cabin gas plant to vent a maximum 60 Mmcf of carbon dioxide per day. The extension is meant to allow ConocoPhillips to move forward with a deal with Denbury Resources, Inc.
