CALGARY,
AB, May 16, 2023 /PRNewswire/ - Gibson Energy
Inc. announced today it has sanctioned the construction of two
tanks, representing 870,000 barrels of new tankage, at its Edmonton
Terminal underpinned by a 15 year take-or-pay and stable fee-based
contract agreement with Cenovus Energy Inc., an investment grade,
senior integrated oil sands customer.
"Gibson is very pleased with the sanction of two new tanks at
our Edmonton Terminal, which will further increase our
high-quality, long-term infrastructure revenues and drive continued
distributable cash flow per share growth," said Steve Spaulding, President and Chief Executive
Officer. "With this sanction we currently have three tanks under
construction at our Edmonton Terminal, representing 1.3 million
barrels of storage. Combined with other smaller projects that have
materialized across our asset base, we now have line of sight to
reaching up to $150 million in growth
capital in 2023 and will also carry additional capital commitments
into 2024."
The project will include the construction of two 435,000 barrel
tanks as well as significant supporting infrastructure at the
Edmonton Terminal and is expected to be placed into service in late
2024.
Increased 2023 Capital
Guidance
With the additional capital spending during the current year
from the sanction of the new Edmonton tankage as well as numerous smaller
growth initiatives throughout its asset base, the Company has
increased its 2023 growth capital expenditure guidance to be up to
$150 million with the strong majority
of the underlying projects having already been sanctioned.
