A Straddle Plant is a gas processing plant located on or near a gas transmission line in the upstream facilities that is the surface equipment intended to reprocess natural gas for the purpose of recovering other fuels from the natural gas and includes any underground storage facilities.
Reference Definition by Gas Strategies: A Straddle Plant is a gas processing plant that “straddles” a gas transportation pipeline to remove NGLs from the gas stream. Because it is often more economic to transport Rich Gas a straddle plant is required to process the plant to final sales specification. The alternative location of a gas processing plant is close to the producing field. NGLs are then transported as liquids away from the field area either by separate pipeline or other means.
