Create Account Keyera has an agreement to buy all of Houston-based Plains Canada's natural gas liquids business, including the Sarnia site, and some U.S. assets, for more than $5 billion. The purchase is expected to close in the first quarter of 2026. Opened by Dome Petroleum in 1970s, the plant located along Plank Road, has also been owned by Amoco and BP before it was purchased by Plains in 2012. Propane produced from natural gas liquids arriving by pipeline from western Canada is delivered by rail and truck from the Sarnia site to locations in Ontario, Quebec and other eastern Canadian provinces, as well as U.S. Midwest and East Coast markets, according to the Canadian Energy Regulator. Butane is also produced at the Sarnia site. Your noon-hour look at what's happening in Toronto and beyond. By signing up you consent to receive the above newsletter from Postmedia Network Inc.

'I'm feeling pretty positive about what they've been saying about the value of Sarnia,' he said. Keyera said in a news release the purchase includes large scale natural gas liquids extraction, fractionation, storage, pipelines and terminals in Western Canada and Sarnia. 'This transaction enhances our ability to serve customers, capture meaningful operational efficiencies, and deliver sustainable long-term value for shareholders, while also helping to reinforce Canada's position as a global energy leader,' Keyera chief executive Dean Setoguchi said in the release. Keyera president and chief executive, Dean Setoguchi, speaks at a ceremony to celebrate the completion of the 575 km KAPS Pipeline at Keyera's Fort Saskatchewan Condensate System site in October 2023. (David Bloom/Postmedia) Photo by David Bloom / Postmedia 'Plains is exiting the Canadian NGL business at an attractive valuation while Keyera is receiving highly complementary and critical infrastructure in a strategic market,' Plains chief executive Willie Chiang said in a news release from the U.S. company. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. Along with the Sarnia plant, the sale includes a storage sitein Sarnia, pipelines in the region and a Windsor storage terminal and a sales terminal in St. Clair, Mich. This ownership change appears 'positive for the community,' said Matthew Slotwinski, chief executive of the Sarnia-Lambton Economic Partnership. 'Ultimately, what we're looking at here is a Canadian company acquiring Canadian assets to strengthen its Canadian opportunities,' he said. Keyera 'currently doesn't have a presence in Eastern Canada, which they do consider to be a key consumption hub,' Slotwinski said. 'What that means is tremendous opportunity for the existing fractionation and pipeline assets that exist in this area.' The purchase by a Canadian company is 'such a bonus,' Bradley said. 'It shows we can do it; be proud Canadians and reinvest in Canada.' This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. Assets in the sale include more than 2,400 kilometres of pipeline infrastructure with capacity of more than 575,000 barrels a day, the Calgary-based gas and NGL midstream company said in a statement. The deal gives Keyera operations in both eastern and Western Canada, including processing capacity, storage infrastructure and truck and rail terminals. As well as putting those operations in 'Canadian decision makers' hands,' income that had been going to the U.S. will now stay in Canada, Setoguchi told Bloomberg News. The transaction has been in negotiations for six months, but Keyera has been interested in the Plains assets for the past decade, he said.
