  • CALGARY, ALBERTA October 6, 2015 – Veresen Inc
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Veresen Announces Approval of the $860 Million Sunrise Gas Plant CALGARY, ALBERTA October 6, 2015 – Veresen Inc. (“Veresen” or the “Company”) (TSX: VSN) is pleased to announce that the Cutbank Ridge Partnership (“CRP”), a partnership between Encana Corporation (“Encana”) and Cutbank Dawson Gas Resources Ltd., a subsidiary of Mitsubishi Corporation, has sanctioned the 400 million cubic feet per day (“mmcf/d”) Sunrise gas plant, to be located in the Montney region near Dawson Creek in northeastern British Columbia. In late 2014, Veresen Midstream Limited Partnership (“Veresen Midstream”), owned 50% by Veresen and 50% by affiliates of Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. L.P. (“KKR”), entered into a fee-for-service arrangement with Encana and CRP to undertake up to $5 billion of new midstream expansion for those parties in the Montney region, with the Sunrise gas plant being the first newly sanctioned project under the agreement. The estimated capital cost for the project (plant and ancillary facilities) is $860 million. Veresen Midstream will fund approximately 60% of the Sunrise gas plant’s construction costs with its existing $1.275 billion credit facility, which is largely undrawn, with the balance to be contributed over time by Veresen and KKR. Veresen intends to fund its share of future contributions to Veresen Midstream with ongoing proceeds received from equity issued in connection with Veresen’s Premium DividendTM and Dividend Reinvestment Plan. Encana will oversee the project management and construction of the facility on behalf of Veresen Midstream. Construction of the Sunrise gas plant has commenced, with the facility expected to be in-service in late 2017.

    September 25, 2018 Geothermal Analysis Municipal District of Spirit River Study by Terrapin Geothermics For further information, contact: Sean Collins, President 780.232.0339 [email protected] Executive Summary In the spring of 2018, Terrapin Geothermics was engaged to evaluate the geothermal resources available to northern Alberta municipalities. Geothermal energy refers to the heat available from within the earth and is classified as a renewable energy resource. Based on Alberta’s sub-surface geology, the highest quality geothermal resources in the province are in the northern and western regions, making the geothermal industry the only source of renewable energy that is better in the northern part of the province than in the south. The majority of wind and solar projects have been developed in southern Alberta due to the fact that the solar and wind resource in Alberta happens to be stronger in those regions. As with all energy developments, before any active project development and direct investment can take place, you must start with understanding the resource available. The primary focus for this particular project was to provide northern Alberta communities with a high- level understanding of the geothermal resource available within a 25-kilometer radius. This information can then provide a starting point for municipalities that are keen to develop their resource further. One of the unique aspects of geothermal energy developments is that you can use geothermal energy for a variety of different things depending on the quality of the resource. The hotter the temperature available, the greater the number of possibilities exist for using this resource.

Don Althoff, Veresen’s president and CEO, spoke with confidence during a conference call following the U.S. Department of Energy’s Monday announcement. ―I don’t think this is going to be a problem to finance,‖ he said of the $7.7 billion project (approximately $1.1 billion of which is project financing, owner’s cost and interest incurred during the four-year construction period). Before Veresen can make a ―final investment decision‖ in early 2015, it needs an Engineering, Procurement and Construction contract, all off-take contracts ―signed with credit-worthy counterparties,‖ and Federal Energy Regulatory Commission approval. Veresen looks for potential owners, partners Althoff wants Jordan Cove to be ―completely sold out‖ by October or November. That means Veresen is analyzing "optimal ownership" and possibly bringing in partners. ―What we’re going to decide over the next nine months is how much we want to own of the plant, and then how much more equity do I need to raise?‖ Althoff told The World this week. Today, Veresen owns 100 percent of Jordan Cove, including the proposed marine facility, liquefaction plants, storage tanks, gas treating facilities and South Dunes Power Plant.

  • Project Description
    Appendix A Project Description I. Project Summary 1. The proposed Jordan Cove LNG export terminal (“ Jordan Cove ”) is a facility designed to produce and export liquefied natural gas (“ LNG ”). Jordan Cove will be located on the west coast of the United States (“ U.S. ”), within Oregon’s International Port of Coos Bay, adjacent to the communities of North Bend and Coos Bay, Oregon. Jordan Cove is owned by Jordan Cove Energy Project L.P. (“ JCEP ”), a subsidiary of Jordan Cove LNG L.P. (the “ Applicant ”), both owned by Veresen Inc. (“ Veresen ”). 2. Jordan Cove will have an initial capacity of 6 MMt/y from four trains (“ Phase 1 ”), with each train producing 1.5 MMt/y. To produce this amount of LNG, Jordan Cove will require a supply of natural gas of 1.03 Bcf/d, with approximately 918 MMcf/d being delivered to the inlet of the Jordan Cove liquefaction plant. The difference is required for pipeline fuel and losses and for power generation. In response to market demand, Jordan Cove may be expanded to produce up to 9 MMt/y, through the construction of two additional 1.5 MMt/y trains (for a total of six trains) (“ Phase 2 ”). In aggregate, the expanded facility will require a natural gas supply of 1.55 Bcf/d with approximately 1.38 Bcf/d being delivered at the Jordan Cove inlet, and the difference being used for pipeline fuel and losses and for power generation. 3. The proposed location of Jordan Cove has benefits for Canada, Western Canada’s natural gas producers, and Alberta’s petrochemical industry.
