Massive new industrial facility in the works outside of Edmonton
A new fractionation facility is in the works just outside of Edmonton, eyeing a startup sometime in 2029.
CSV Midstream Solutions Corp. is planning to build a fractionation facility in Alberta’s Industrial Heartland in Fort Saskatchewan, targeting a startup in 2029, with a final investment decision expected by early 2027.
The proposed facility will fractionate 35,000 barrels per day of natural gas liquids. The mixed product streams will be separated into specification products, including propane and butane, for sale to end users or export.
CSV has an extensive gas processing infrastructure in the northern parts of the province, where the same teams carry projects from engineering through to long-term operations. This project marks a significant step downstream, helping to connect, expand and support CSV’s liquid infrastructure development in the Grande Prairie region while offering much-needed egress to meet the growing propane and butane demand locally and internationally.

“This project enhances CSV’s continued infrastructure development in the Grande Prairie region and expands our portfolio into the NGL infrastructure business,” said Christopher Dutcher, EVP & chief operating officer at CSV Midstream Solutions.
“Producers are looking for integrated solutions that take complexity out of the equation. A facility with pipeline connectivity and access to storage in the Heartland, paired with CSV’s assets upstream of Fort Saskatchewan, gives producers a clear path from production to market.”
No price tag for the project was given at the time of its announcement.
It’s shaping up to be a busy couple of years for new projects just east of Edmonton. A massive new $240-million rail terminal is in the works, as is a new colossal $570-million plant coming down the pipe.
