Keyera Closes Gathering and Processing Acquisitions

CALGARY, July 15 /CNW/ - Keyera Facilities Income Fund ("Keyera") (TSX:KEY.UN; KEY.DB; KEY.DB.A) announced today that it has closed all of the acquisitions of plant interests announced in June.

As part of these transactions, Keyera acquired a 19% ownership interest in the Edson gas plant, a 36.5% ownership interest in the Minnehik Buck Lake gas plant and various ownership interests in the Keyera-operated West Pembina, Nordegg River, Gilby and Brazeau River gas plants. Keyera has also been appointed operator of the Minnehik Buck Lake gas plant. The combined purchase price for these acquisitions was approximately $50 million.

Keyera had originally agreed to purchase a 57% interest in the Minnehik Buck Lake gas plant and certain related reserves, along with various interests in associated other assets and reserves. However, the actual interests that were acquired by Keyera were lower as a result of one of the other plant owners exercising its right of first refusal ("ROFR") in connection with the acquisition. With the exercise of the ROFR in the Minnehik Buck Lake transaction, total reserves acquired in connection with these transactions were approximately 8.4 billion cubic feet of proved plus probable natural gas reserves and approximately 505 thousand barrels of natural gas liquids.

The two new gas plants, Edson and Minnehik Buck Lake, are located in the heart of Keyera's operations in west central Alberta and are capable of extracting NGLs and handling sour gas. As a result of these transactions, Keyera now has ownership interests in 17 gas plants and with net gas processing capacity of 126 million cubic feet per day.
