Products transported on Pembina’s pipelines represent more than half of the light and medium conventional crude oil, and a growing proportion of the condensate and NGLs produced in Western Canada. With the addition of the Alberta Oil Sands Pipeline to its well-diversified and strategically located asset base in 2001, Pembina now participates in the exciting development of Canada’s extensive, long life oil sands resource..
