The station, located approximately 30 miles northeast of Denver on County Road 22 in Fort Lupton, Colorado, will serve the fueling needs of the company's DJ Basin natural gas fleet. Encana Natural Gas Inc. will own the station that will fuel the local fleet of field vehicles. The station is located at the Kerr-McGee Platt Valley Plant, which is owned by a subsidiary of Anadarko Petroleum Corporation. 

"This new station represents another significant step toward converting the U.S. fleet to run on cleaner-burning natural gas," said Eric Marsh, Encana's Executive Vice-President & Senior Vice-President, USA Division. In addition to serving the local fueling needs, the station will supply fuel to Anadarko's and Noble Energy, Inc.'s expanding natural gas vehicle fleets in the DJ Basin. The growing needs of these three companies is expected to quickly take daily natural gas throughput to the station's capacity of 500 gasoline gallon equivalent (GGE) - fuel for about 50 vehicles per day.
