July 2 (Reuters) - Canadian oil and gas producer
Whitecap Resources ( SPGYF ) said on Tuesday it would raise about
C$520 million ($378.73 million) by selling working interests in
two projects and securing investment for an upcoming facility,
in separate deals.
According to terms of one of the deals, Pembina Gas
Infrastructure (PGI), jointly owned by Pembina Pipeline ( PBA )
and private equity firm KKR, would acquire a 50% working
interest in Whitecap's Kaybob gas processing complex and help
develop its upcoming Lator facility.
Gross proceeds related to this transaction are about C$420
million and PGI would get access to production volumes from the
two facilities.
The Kaybob complex has a natural gas processing capacity of
165 million cubic feet per day. Whitecap would remain its
operator and retain the rest of the working interest after the
deal's closing, which is expected to take place in the third
quarter.
The Lator facility is expected to start up in late 2026 to
early 2027 and PGI would own parts of the infrastructure in it.
Separately, Topaz Energy has acquired a 50% working interest
in Whitecap's Musreau facility for C$100 million.
The Musreau facility currently produces at a rate 14,000
barrels of oil equivalent per day and Whitecap plans to reach
full capacity by the end of 2024.
This deal closed on June 24.
