Ovintiv Announces Start-Up of Pipestone Processing Facility

Ovintiv Inc. (NYSE: OVV) (TSX: OVV) today announced the start-up of the Pipestone Processing Facility (PPF), a natural gas processing and liquids stabilization plant supporting the Company's high-return, condensate-rich Montney development. Ovintiv managed the PPF's design and construction and delivered its start-up more than five months ahead of its original schedule and at budgeted costs.

The start-up of the PPF provides Ovintiv with additional net processing capacity of approximately 170 MMcf/d of natural gas and 19,000 bbls/d of liquids, primarily condensate. The start-up of the PPF required no new drilling to satisfy new capacity arrangements. The facility allows Ovintiv to maximize its existing volumes and optimize midstream fees by routing production to gathering systems with lower line pressures, as well as the capacity to grow its Pipestone Montney resources.

The PPF, which is owned by Keyera Partnership (Keyera), a subsidiary of Keyera Corp., provides Ovintiv with processing under a "fee-for-service" midstream agreement. Ovintiv has successfully employed this development model in other recent midstream expansions. These agreements provide increased financial flexibility with a limited financial obligation of a revenue guarantee on a fraction of its initial capacity rights.

"We continue to show our team's ability to manage complex projects. In fact, this is our fourth project since 2017 delivered ahead of schedule and at or below budgeted costs," said Ovintiv CEO Doug Suttles . "This project provides a very cost effective and flexible arrangement to optimize our Montney production and the capacity to fully capture the resource potential from our very attractive Pipestone asset. We have a great working relationship with Keyera and our business interests are aligned to safely operate this important addition to the condensate-rich Montney ."

Oil and Gas Price Update: Q1 2025 in Review

The oil sector faced volatility throughout the first quarter of 2025.

Concerns around weak demand, increasing supply and trade tensions came to head in early April, pushing oil prices to four year lows and eroding the support Brent and West Texas Intermediate (WTI) had above the US$65 per barrel level.

Starting the year at US$75 (Brent) and US$72 (WTI), the oil benchmarks rallied in mid-January, reaching five month highs of US$81.86 and US$78.90, respectively. Tariff threats and trade tensions between the US and China, along with soft demand in Asia and Europe, dampened the global economic outlook for 2025 and added headwinds for oil prices.

This pressure caused oil prices to slip to Q1 lows of US$69.12 (Brent) and US$66.06 (WTI) in early March.
