Keyera hit by outage at Alberta Envirofuels facility due to failure of key component
Posted Jan 19, 2026 8:51 am.
Keyera Corp. says it has shut down its Alberta Envirofuels facility due to the failure of a key component.
The company says it initiated the unplanned outage earlier in January.
Due to the expected time to fabricate, deliver and install the replacement components, Keyera expects the facility to return to service in May.
The company says it now plans to complete a planned six-week major turnaround that was scheduled for the fall, during the outage period.
Maintenance capital spending is expected to increase by about $10 million, resulting in a revised 2026 guidance range of $140 million to $160 million, up from earlier guidance for $130 million to $150 million.
Keyera buying Plains’ Canadian natural gas liquids business for $5.15 billion
This also comes after it signed a deal to buy Plains’ Canadian natural gas liquids business, as well as select U.S. assets, for $5.15 billion in cash.
The assets under the deal include 193,000 barrels per day of fractionation capacity, 23 million barrels of storage capacity and over 2,400 kilometres of pipeline infrastructure.
The deal also covers gas processing operations as well as loading and logistics infrastructure, including truck and rail terminals in Canada and the U.S.
Keyera chief executive Dean Setoguchi called it a highly strategic acquisition that strengthens the company’s core business and accelerates growth.
The energy infrastructure company says the combination will provide customers with more reliable and efficient services, and diversified market access.
The deal is expected to close in the first quarter of 2026, subject to customary closing conditions.
Keyera owns pipelines, storage and natural gas processing operations in Canada and the United States.
