Plains All American Pipeline and Plains GP Holdings Provide Updated Timing for Completion of Sale of NGL Business

Plains All American Pipeline, L.P. and Plains GP Holdings announced an updated expected closing date for the sale of their Canadian natural gas liquids (NGL) business to Keyera Corp, now anticipated in May 2026 following ongoing regulatory review. The transaction aims to reposition Plains as a pure play crude oil midstream company with integrated North American assets.

Key Points

  • The sale of Plains’ Canadian NGL business is progressing through regulatory approval, with the Competition Bureau reviewing the transaction.
  • The expected closing date for the transaction is now delayed to May 2026, reflecting regulatory processes.
  • Post-divestiture, Plains will focus exclusively on crude oil midstream operations, integrating assets from Canada to the U.S. Gulf Coast.
  • Sectors impacted include oil and gas midstream infrastructure, energy logistics, and Canadian regulatory environment.

HOUSTON, March 30, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Plains All American Pipeline, L.P. (Nasdaq: PAA) and Plains GP Holdings (Nasdaq: PAGP) (collectively, "Plains") today provided an update on the expected timing for completion of the Canadian NGL business divestiture to Keyera Corp.

The transaction continues to advance through the regulatory process, including review by the Competition Bureau. Based on the current status of this process, we now expect closing in May 2026.

Plains and Keyera continue to work constructively through the regulatory process and are confident in the completion of the transaction. Both companies are also advancing integration planning activities to support a smooth transition upon closing.

Completion of the NGL divestiture will transform Plains to a pure play crude oil midstream company with integrated assets spanning from Canada to the U.S. Gulf Coast.
