CSV Midstream Solutions Corp. (CSV) has announced plans to construct a fractionation facility in Alberta's Industrial Heartland, located in Fort Saskatchewan. The company targets a startup date of 2029, with a final investment decision (FID) expected by early 2027, subject to regulatory approvals.
Project Details
The proposed facility will have a capacity of 35,000 barrels per day and will process natural gas liquids (NGLs). Mixed product streams will be separated into specification products, including propane and butane, for sale to end users or for export. The facility will be situated in a designated industrial area with existing pipeline infrastructure and established fractionation processing capabilities.
Strategic Significance
CSV has built a strong reputation in northern Alberta through its extensive gas processing infrastructure, where the same teams handle projects from engineering through to long-term operations. This project represents a significant step downstream for the company, helping to connect, expand, and support its liquid infrastructure development in the Grande Prairie region. It also offers much-needed egress to meet growing propane and butane demand both locally and internationally.
The fractionation facility will bring together CSV's gathering and processing assets with its leading design, construction, and operating skills. This integration aims to advance Western Canadian LNG opportunities and connect responsible Canadian energy to a growing global demand.
Executive Comments
Christopher Dutcher, Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer of CSV Midstream Solutions, stated: "This project enhances CSV's continued infrastructure development in the Grande Prairie region and expands our portfolio into the NGL infrastructure business. Producers are looking for integrated solutions that take complexity out of the equation. A facility with pipeline connectivity and access to storage in the Heartland, paired with CSV's assets upstream of Fort Saskatchewan, gives producers a clear path from production to market. Our existing assets and our experience in developing first-class infrastructure along with our operational expertise and producer relationships provides CSV the opportunity to move a project like this forward."
Next Steps
CSV is currently finalizing site options and working through regulatory requirements. The company welcomes inquiries from parties looking to supply C3+ (propane, butane, and condensate) or NGLs, as well as definitive interest in the project. Commercial inquiries for fractionation capacity can be directed to Greg Bosch, Director of Commercial. Business partnership inquiries can be directed to Christopher Dutcher, Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer.
