Pembina Pipeline Says West Coast Pipeline Stake Fits Into Its Broader Strategy
Pembina said quarterly earnings rose to $512 million and revenue to $2.15 billion as it advanced a non-binding stake in the proposed West Coast oil pipeline.
Calgary-Based Pembina Pipeline Corp. reported higher second-quarter earnings of $512 million on Friday, rising from $417 million last year, while revenue reached $2.15 billion.
The company also reported progress at its Cedar LNG project in Kitimat, British Columbia, expecting first exports in late 2028.
Pembina entered a non-binding agreement for a 10 per cent interest in the proposed West Coast oil pipeline, with an option for an additional 10 per cent interest once operations begin.
CEO Scott Burrows stated the investment fits the company's "core strategic perspective" as the $35 billion to $44 billion project is operated by Crown-owned Trans Mountain Corp.
Sarah Schwann, Pembina's chief legal, people and corporate affairs officer, noted the company is working with government partners, targeting an Oct. 1 designation under the Building Canada Act.
