PMMBF PEMBINA PIPELINE CORP
Price Chart
Executive Summary
Pembina Pipeline sanctioned the Heartland Extraction Plant (HEP), a ~$570 million straddle plant on the Yellowhead Pipeline, and amended its ethane supply agreement with Dow, increasing total ethane commitment by 15% to 57,500 bpd. The project, expected in-service in late 2029, supports Pembina's 5-7% fee-based adjusted EBITDA per share growth target to 2030, with an estimated EBITDA build multiple of 5-7x.
Actionable Insight
This is a material, long-dated growth catalyst that strengthens Pembina's NGL franchise and locks in a major customer (Dow) through 2030+. The ~$570M project with 5-7x EBITDA build multiple suggests attractive returns, but in-service is not until late 2029 — no near-term revenue impact. Monitor Dow's Path2Zero project timeline and any further updates on HEP construction milestones. The 5-7% fee-based adjusted EBITDA per share growth target to 2030 provides a medium-term valuation anchor.
Key Facts
- Pembina sanctioned the Heartland Extraction Plant (HEP), a 750 million cubic feet per day straddle plant, with an estimated cost of approximately $570 million and anticipated in-service in late 2029.
- Pembina signed a long-term agreement at HEP to supply Dow with ethane beginning in late 2029, scaling to 22,500 bpd by end of 2030.
- Pembina and Dow amended their ethane supply agreement: Pembina will supply 35,000 bpd of ethane from its existing portfolio, starting with Dow's Path2Zero project in 2029.
- Total ethane supply commitment to Dow is 57,500 bpd, a 15% increase from the original 50,000 bpd.
- Pembina will retain propane-plus production from HEP, benefiting from downstream fractionation and marketing of up to 9,500 bpd of propane-plus NGL.

Financial Impact
~$570 million capital investment; EBITDA build multiple of 5-7x; 15% increase in ethane supply commitment to Dow (57,500 bpd total); up to 9,500 bpd of propane-plus NGL retained by Pembina
Risk Factors
- Project execution risk: HEP in-service is late 2029, with potential delays or cost overruns.
- Dow's Path2Zero project schedule dependency: if delayed, ethane offtake commitments may shift.
- Commodity price exposure: EBITDA from HEP includes frac spread exposure, not purely fixed-fee.
- Regulatory and environmental approvals required for HEP construction.
- Capital allocation risk: $570M investment competes with other growth opportunities and shareholder returns.
