Pembina's Stake in Key Access Pipeline System Is Sold to Stonepeak Partners
02/15/2023
Canadian pipeline operator Pembina Pipeline Corp.'s joint venture with KKR & Co. is selling for C$662.5 million ($484.89 million) its 50% stake in the Key Access Pipeline System to private equity firm Stonepeak Partners.
The agreement allows Stonepeak to maintain a pipeline system that conveys NGL to processing facilities for export to Asia, a market with a raising appetite for North American LNG as it refuses to use coal and as the decrease in Russian exports leaves a void in global supply.
The joint venture PGI, which was formed in March through deals and estimated at C$11.4 billion, is possessed 60% by Pembina while KKR's global infrastructure funds have the rest.
Being a 560-km pipeline system, KAPS conveys NGL between western Canada's Montney and Duvernay fields to Keyera's processing facilities in Fort Saskatchewan.
Keyera Corp. will continue possessing the rest 50% stake in KAPS and will maintain the asset. The sale is anticipated closing in the first quarter of 2023.
Pembina owns pipelines that convey hydrocarbon liquids and natural gas products produced primarily in Western Canada. It also possesses gas gathering and processing facilities and an oil and natural gas liquids infrastructure and logistics business. Its operations along the hydrocarbon value chain allow it to offer a full slate of midstream and marketing services to its customers in the energy industry.
Stonepeak’s renewables portfolio is expected to produce almost 2,500-gigawatt hours of annual renewable capacity, which is enough to power about 235,000 US households per year.
West Texas Gas has surveyed roughly 5,000 miles of pipe, made improvements, and avoided almost 8.5 million cubic feet per day of emissions. Its renewables portfolio companies have avoided 157k metric tons of lifetime carbon emissions, which equals taking 124k cars off the road for 1 year.

Half of Kinder Morgan’s Stake in Georgia LNG Facility is Sold to Unknown Company
Kinder Morgan Inc. decided to sell half of its 51% interest in an LNG facility in Georgia on September 27 with proceeds allocated by the Houston-based company to pay short-term debt and buy back shares. As it is acknowledged, an undisclosed financial buyer purchases the 25.5% equity interest in Elba Liquefaction Co. LLC (ELC) for approximately $565 million. ELC is a joint venture (JV) established in 2017 to build and own the Elba liquefaction facility situated on #Elba Island in Chatham County, Georgia. After completion, Kinder Morgan and the undisclosed financial buyer will each hold a 25.5% stake in ELC. Meanwhile, Blackstone Credit will continue to hold a 49% interest. The value of the equity interest considers an enterprise value of almost $2.3 billion for ELC, which is about 13 times 2022E EBITDA. The transaction has an economic effective date of July 1. The Elba liquefaction facility has 10 modular liquefaction units for a total capacity of roughly 2.5 million tonnes per year of LNG. Kinder Morgan considers it equivalent to almost 350 MMcf/d of natural gas.
Rail Permit for New Fortress to Ship LNG Expired, Putting Future Projects at Risk
Uncertainty grows: as New Fortresses permit to ship LNG by rail expires, PHSMA explores temporal pausing of the method to provide more time to study safety-related issues. The news prompts one to wonder whether Fortress will proceed with its Pennsylvanian LNG project, in which it has already sunk about $159 million in development.
In Wyoming during 2023, the oil and gas industry experienced various trends and developments. Wyoming ranked 8th nationally in both crude oil and natural gas production, significantly contributing to the economy through property and severance taxes. The state had a peak of 27,951 producing wells in 2022, including oil and gas wells, with 33 operating gas plants processing nearly 97% of the state's gas production. Notably, 21 of Wyoming's 23 counties produce oil and/or natural gas, with Converse County leading in crude oil production and Sublette County in natural gas production. U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) predicted that crude oil production across the United States would increase to 12.8 million b/d in 2024. Throughout 2023, oil production in Wyoming showed an upward trend, with more than 95 million barrels expected to be produced, an increase of about 3 million barrels from 2022. This rise in oil production was partly attributed to the completion of 110 newly drilled oil wells in the first half of the year, mainly in the Powder River Basin. However, natural gas production faced a decline due to the aging of wells and a low number of new gas wells being completed. Only 18 new gas wells were finished in the first half of 2023, with a noted interest in drilling applications, suggesting potential future developments.
XCL Resources is seeking approval from the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) for its proposed acquisition of Altamont Energy LLC, another Utah-based oil producer.
