Inter Pipeline to Provide Diluent Transportation for Athabasca Oil Corporation Hangingstone Project

CALGARY, ALBERTA–(Marketwired – Nov. 6, 2013) – Inter Pipeline Ltd. (“Inter Pipeline”) (TSX:IPL) announced today that it has entered into a binding agreement with AOC Hangingstone Partnership, a wholly owned subsidiary of Athabasca Oil Corporation (“AOC”), to provide diluent transportation services for AOC’s multi-phase Hangingstone oil sands project. Under the terms of a 25-year ship-or-pay agreement, Inter Pipeline will provide AOC with an initial 4,500 barrels per day of committed capacity on its Polaris pipeline in support of the first production phase of the Hangingstone project.

AOC, through the Hangingstone Partnership, expects to develop the Hangingstone project in several phases over the coming years. Inter Pipeline holds the exclusive right to provide diluent transportation for future phases of the project. Should all three planned phases be developed, Inter Pipeline estimates that the Hangingstone project may require up to 30,000 barrels per day of diluent.

Inter Pipeline will initially provide transportation service utilizing Polaris’ existing 12-inch diameter diluent mainline. A new $25 million, 4 kilometer pipeline lateral with associated metering facilities will connect Polaris to the AOC Hangingstone oil sands facility. Diluent capacity for Phases 2 and 3 of the AOC Hangingstone project is expected to be provided through a future extension of the new 30-inch diameter Polaris mainline that is currently under construction. A map of the new connection to the AOC Hangingstone project is available on our website at www.interpipeline.com.

“Inter Pipeline is pleased to add AOC to our growing portfolio of diluent delivery customers on the Polaris pipeline system,” stated David Fesyk, President and Chief Executive Officer of Inter Pipeline. “Over the past two years we have signed transportation contracts with six oil sands customers on Polaris, representing committed volumes in excess of 500,000 barrels per day. These firm capacity contracts continue to support the phased, capital efficient expansion of the Polaris system.”

Inter Pipeline expects to initially generate long term annual EBITDA of approximately $5 million when the new AOC connection enters commercial service in early 2015. Inter Pipeline will also earn additional EBITDA when AOC increases its diluent capacity commitments through the phased development of the Hangingstone project. All operating costs will be recovered on a flow through basis.
