  • 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.

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.

    Item 8: Financial Statements and Supplementary Data Management Report Management’s Responsibility for Consolidated Financial Statements The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements of Encana Corporation (the “Company”) are the responsibility of Management. The Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared by Management in United States dollars in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States and include certain estimates that reflect Management’s best judgments. The Company’s Board of Directors has approved the information contained in the Consolidated Financial Statements. The Board of Directors fulfills its responsibility regarding the financial statements mainly through its Audit Committee, which has a written mandate that complies with the requirements of Canadian and United States securities legislation and the Audit Committee guidelines of the New York Stock Exchange. The Audit Committee meets at least on a quarterly basis. Management’s Assessment of Internal Control over Financial Reporting Management is also responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over the Company’s financial reporting. The internal control system was designed to provide reasonable assurance to the Company’s Management regarding the preparation and presentation of the Consolidated Financial Statements. Internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Management has assessed the design and effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as at December 31, 2018.

Other information .............................................. 88 Letter to shareholders Dear fellow shareholders, Pembina’s board of directors is pleased to present our 2018 management information circular. 2017 saw the culmination of a multi-year growth strategy and the successful acquisition of Veresen Inc. (Veresen), two milestone events that have transformed Pembina into a leading North American energy infrastructure company, and positioned the company for continued growth and enduring shareholder value creation. Despite lingering uncertainty and volatility in the broader energy sector this year, Pembina sustained strong operational and financial performance in 2017, successfully placed over $5 billion of projects into service, and progressed its portfolio of growth projects. It also increased its dividend while reducing the risk profile of the business, and maintained an unwavering commitment to safety and to the communities it operates in. As Pembina becomes a larger, more diverse company, the board will continue to evolve in alignment with the company’s direction and strategy. We regularly assess the board, its committees and its directors, seek out potential directors with new and complementary skills, and increase the board’s diversity of geography, skillset and gender. In 2017, we welcomed Mr. Doug Arnell, Ms. Maureen Howe and Mr. Henry Sykes to the board.
