(ICIS)–Pembina Pipeline plans to develop a liquefied
petroleum gas (LPG) export terminal on Canada’s west coast in
British Columbia province, the Canadian midstream energy
company confirmed on Tuesday.
The terminal, on Watson Island near Prince Rupert, about
1,500km northwest of Vancouver, could have an LPG export
capacity of about 20,000 bbl/day.
The project, with an estimated capital cost of up to Canadian
dollar (C$) 175m ($132m), could be realised within two years
after a final investment decision is made.
The company already has secured a long-term LPG export permit
from regulators.
“Pembina’s objective with this project is to provide growing
Canadian LPG supply with access to diverse, international
markets, while complementing Pembina’s expanding integrated
service offering for energy products derived from natural
gas,” it said.
The company also has plans for integrated propylene and
polypropylene production, centered on a propane
dehydrogenation (PDH) project in Alberta.
