Gibson Energy (TSE:GEI), which specializes in the storage, optimization, processing, and collection of liquids and refined products, has approved the construction of two additional storage tanks at its Edmonton Terminal. This move is part of a 15-year “take-or-pay” contractual agreement with Cenovus Energy (TSE:CVE) (NYSE:CVE), meaning that Cenovus has to either take the product (storage space) from Gibson or pay a fee, ensuring stable revenue for Gibson regardless of whether Cenovus uses the full capacity. The new tanks will boost GEI’s storage capacity by 870,000 barrels.
Gibson’s CEO, Steve Spaulding, noted that this agreement will increase the company’s “high-quality, long-term infrastructure revenues and drive continued distributable cash flow per share growth.”
