Afren is the sole owner of the Lion Gas Plant, which processes gas from the CI-11 and adjacent CI-26 and CI-40 blocks operated by Canadian Natural Resources. The plant has an inlet capacity of 75 mmscfd and strips gasoline and butane from the rich gas stream it receives. The butane is sold into the local market (meeting approximately 35% of the domestic butane demand) and gasoline
is spiked into the CI-11 crude stream and sold on the international market. The plant benefits from tax-exempt status and the average NGL production at the LGP in 2009 was 1,140 boepd. We are also exploring ways to extract propane at the plant, which we would sell locally to industrial customers.
