Connecting the western Canadian energy marketplace

Pembina's four integrated businesses operating in Alberta and British Columbia generate value for customers and investors and are a platform for future growth. Every day, these businesses are conducted with a focus on safe, reliable, cost effective and environmentally responsible operations.

Conventional Pipelines

Pembina's crude oil and natural gas liquids pipelines extend across much of Alberta and British Columbia. This 7,500-kilometre network provides dependable, cost effective transportation service to customers in the oil and natural gas producing regions of these two provinces and is the cornerstone of Pembina’s business strategy.

Oil Sands and Heavy Oil

Pembina plays an important role in supporting Alberta's oil sands industry, transporting crude oil from Fort McMurray-based Syncrude Canada Ltd. and Canadian Natural Resources Ltd. to markets near Edmonton. Pembina also provides infrastructure support to oil sands producers located southwest of Fort McMurray. In total, we have 775,000 barrels per day of fully contracted oil sands crude oil transportation capacity. Pembina's oil sands assets — the Syncrude Pipeline, Cheecham Lateral and Horizon Pipeline — operate under long-term, extendible contracts that provide for the flow through of operating costs to shippers. Operating income generated by these assets is related to invested capital and is not sensitive to fluctuations in costs or capacity utilization.

Midstream and Marketing

This business consists of Pembina's 50 percent non-operated interest in the Fort Saskatchewan Ethylene Storage Facility and wholly-owned terminals, storage facilities and hub services located across our conventional pipeline system. By leveraging the purchase and sale of crude oil and natural gas liquids, this business has expanded the range of services provided to customers, while also increasing throughput on our conventional pipelines.

Gas Services

In 2009, Pembina expanded its business to include natural gas gathering and processing through the acquisition of the Cutbank Complex. Located approximately 100 kilometres south of Grande Prairie, Alberta, the Cutbank Complex includes 300 kilometres of gathering lines and ownership in three sweet gas processing plants with 360 million cubic feet per day of processing capability (305 mmcf/d is net to Pembina). These assets are connected directly to Pembina's Peace Pipeline system and serve an active exploration and production area in the Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin.
