Keyera Provides Update on Western Reach Pipeline Initiative

CALGARY, Aug. 13, 2013 /CNW/ - Keyera Corp. (TSX:KEY) (TSX:KEY.DB.A) ("Keyera") announced that effective today, Keyera and Plains Midstream Canada ULC will not be jointly pursuing the construction and operation of the proposed Western Reach Pipeline system. Both companies have the right to separately pursue pipeline initiatives similar to what had been proposed for Western Reach.

Keyera will be pursuing the development of a liquids pipeline system in northwest Alberta to deliver NGL mix and condensate from the Deep Basin area of Alberta to Alberta's NGL hub in Fort Saskatchewan and is proceeding with plans to secure sufficient producer commitments to underpin construction.

More information about Keyera's proposed liquids pipeline system, including contact information for a Keyera representative, can be found on Keyera's website at www.keyera.com.
