The joint venture is expected to have approximately 2 Bcf/d of mainline throughput capacity, which will make it one of the largest gathering and treating systems in the US.
Petrohawk will continue to operate the business during a short transition period, after which the new company, KinderHawk Field Services LLC, will assume operations.
