Canadian Assets on Sale: Energy Transfer Sells Gas Processing Bussines to Pembina-KKR for $1.3 Billion
04/19/2022
Under the agreement, Energy Transfer will sell its 51% interest in Energy Transfer Canada to the Pembina-KKR joint venture, for more than CA$1.6 billion (US$1.3 billion) including debt and preferred equity. KKR's funds already own the remaining stake.
TC’s assets include six natural gas processing plants with a combined operating capacity of 1.29 Bcf/d and an 848-mile natural gas gathering and transportation network in the Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin.
Through this agreement, Energy Transfer will be able to divest its high-quality Canadian assets at an attractive valuation, deleveraging its balance sheet and allowing it to redeploy capital within the U.S. market.
The Calgary-based company, Energy Transfer Canada, is one of Alberta's largest gas processors. As part of its portfolio of assets, the company owns six gas processing plants with a combined capacity of 1,290 MMcf/d, as well as a network of approximately 848 miles of natural gas gathering and transportation infrastructure.
As a result of the sale, Energy Transfer is slated to receive cash proceeds of approximately 340 million Canadian dollars (US$270 million), and close by the third quarter of 2022.
While this process is underway, Pembina and KKR will combine their western Canadian natural gas processing assets into a single, new joint venture entity — Newco, owned 60% by Pembina and 40% by KKR. Pembina will also be Newco's operator and manager.
This new entity will acquire Pembina's field-based natural gas processing, Veresen Midstream's portfolio (55% owned by KKR funds, 45% by Pembina), and ETC's business. And is expected to have a natural gas processing capacity of about 5 Bcf/d or about 16% of Western Canada’s total processing capacity. The worth of this joint venture will be around CA$11.4 billion (US$8.99 billion).
It is expected that all the deals will close late in the second or third quarter. According to Pembina, it plans to sell its interest in its Key Access Pipeline System as a way to finance the deal, and it is reviewing its portfolio for other noncore, nonoperating assets that might be sold in the process.
After the deal closes, Pembina plans to raise its dividend by 3.6%, as well as raise its share repurchase target to CA$350 million (US$275 million) from CA$200 million.

As part of its effort to expand its Montney Shale play, Vermilion Energy Inc. recently acquired Leucrotta Exploration Inc. for a net cash purchase price of CA$477 million. Vermilion has identified 275 high-quality, high-return, low-risk multi-zone drilling prospects. Top management believes, these prospects represent 20 or more years of low-risk, self-funding, high-deliverability shale drilling. Assuming the anticipated May closing date, Vermilion is increasing its capital budget for E&D in 2022 to $500 million and increasing guidance for production from 86,000 to 88,000 boe/d to take into account the Leucrotta acquisition.

And Petro-Hunt E&P is the new sheriff in town with 21,430 net acres of leasehold in the Basin, production of which surpasses 7,000 bbl/d and 100 MMcf/d respectively. To take advantage of it, Petro-Hunt plans to begin an active development drilling program on these assets in the coming months heavily upgrading the numbers of its 775 operating oil wells and contributing to over 8,100 non-operated wells. Time will tell, however, whether or not this move will be able to deliver such results.

As world leaders gather at the COP29 climate summit, a surprising trend is emerging: some of the biggest oil companies are scaling back their renewable energy efforts. Why? The answer is simple—profits. Fossil fuels deliver higher returns than renewables, reshaping priorities across the energy industry.
