Willbros Group Inc. announced that Dan Hubbard has been named as vice president Tulsa operations, gas processing. With this hire, the company will officially enter the gas processing plant market.
Hubbard has 22 years of experience designing modular cryogenic gas processing plants. He joins Willbros from Hydrocarbon Processing Technology, LLC, a company he founded in 1992.
Based in Tulsa, Oklahoma, Hubbard will be responsible for leading the technical development of the company's gas processing plant offerings. Notably, as part of Willbros' new service offerings, he has designed a standardized, modular, cryogenic plant that is designed for the hydrocarbon mix and infrastructure availability found in the Marcellus and Utica shale plays.
The design will be provided in 60, 120 and 200 MMscfd configurations and offer operators advantages including: a smaller plant footprint that saves land acquisition costs, a design that allows for easier module installation and maintenance by providing easier access to serviceable components; and an alternate ethane recovery mode that optimizes propane recovery. The alternate ethane recovery mode will also allow operators to capture greater value from gas stream resulting in higher propane recoveries.
