Keyera targets Alberta


Keyera Corporation and Plains Midstream Canada, a wholly- owned subsidiary of Plains All American Pipeline, have proposed construction of a jointly-owned liquids pipeline system in northwest Alberta. The proposed 570km


Western Reach Pipeline System is expected to run from the Gordondale area of north-western Alberta to the NGL energy hub at Fort Saskatchewan. It is planned to include two new pipelines, one carrying a


propane, butane and conden- sate mix and the other for a segregated condensate service. This will avoid the additional costs incurred in batch mode operation, it is claimed. Keyera and Plains Mid-


stream have begun an open season process seeking non-binding nominations for volumes to underpin the construction. Last month Keyera said it


plans to expand its Simonette gas plant with the construction


of a sour gas gathering pipeline linking it to the Wapati region of north west Alberta. Construc- tion of the 90km 12-inch Wapati pipeline will begin in the autumn for a scheduled start-up in the second quarter of 2014. The project is expected to cost $120m. The company said it is also


considering construction of a separate 6-inch diameter pipe- line to carry segregated condensate along the same route. ❙ www.keyera.com
