Crews with Enterprise Products Partners construct the new Meeker Gas Plant on an isolated site surrounded by sagebrush and sprawling hills in rural Rio Blanco County. Enterprise is partnering with EnCana, a leading producer of natural gas and oil in North America, to build the plant. A second facility is scheduled for construction directly behind the plant shown above. In July, EnCana announced second-quarter revenues of more than $2.5 billion in 2007. The Meeker Gas Plant is accessed from Rio Blanco County Road 5, a growing industrial corridor between Meeker and Rifle that is increasingly filled with energy development facilities. Traffic along C.R. 5 can move slowly, as heavy, industrial-size semitrailers pack the windy, two-lane road.
