Ovintiv Inc. OVV recently inaugurated thePipestone Processing Facility (PPF) at a reasonable budget more than five months in advance of the scheduled date. It is a natural gas processing and liquids stabilization plant that will enhance the company's high-return, condensate-rich Montney development.With the introduction of this PPF,increased net processing capacity of around 170 million cubic feet per day of natural gas and 19,000 barrels of liquids per day, primarily condensate, is now available to Ovintiv. No new drilling was needed to accomplish new capacity arrangements while starting the facility.Keyera Partnership, a subsidiary of Canadian midstream operator Keyera, owns the PPF.The facility allows Ovintiv to expand its existing volumes and optimize midstream fees by channeling production to gathering units having lower line pressures as well as the capacity to grow its Pipestone Montney resources. The PPF provides this Denver-based companywith processing under a "fee-for-service" midstream agreement. Ovintiv, formerly known as Encana Corp., used this model in other latest midstream expansions as well. These agreements offer added financial flexibility by lowering the company’s financial burden through revenue guarantee on a small portion of its initial capacity rights.Company ProfileOvintiv engages in exploration, development, production and marketing of natural gas, oil and natural gas liquids.
