Keyera Evaluating Option to Acquire 30% Ownership Position in Norlite Pipeline

CALGARY, Oct. 30, 2013 /CNW/ - Enbridge Inc. ("Enbridge") today announced it is proceeding with development of the Norlite Pipeline system. As part of a Memorandum of Understanding between affiliates of Enbridge and Keyera Corp. (TSX:KEY) (TSX:KEY.DB.A) ("Keyera"), Keyera has the right to participate in the Norlite diluent pipeline as a 30% non-operating owner. A decision whether to participate will be made within 30 days.

As part of the service offering, the Norlite system may access certain existing capacity on Keyera's Fort Saskatchewan Condensate System.  This would allow shippers to access the Enbridge Southern Lights condensate pipeline, as well as other sources of diluent available within Keyera's Fort Saskatchewan Condensate System, including its condensate storage facility.

"We are pleased to see the Norlite pipeline moving forward and are evaluating our potential involvement in the project", said David Smith, President and Chief Operating Officer of Keyera.
