Inter Pipeline Ltd. is a Canada‐based energy infrastructure company specializing in the transportation and storage of petroleum products, as well as the processing of natural gas liquids and production of petrochemicals. Established in 1997 and headquartered in Calgary, Alberta, Inter Pipeline operates three core business segments: bulk liquid storage, oil sands transportation, and natural gas liquids (NGL) processing and petrochemical production. Through a network of pipelines, processing plants and storage terminals, the company supports major energy producers by delivering essential midstream services across North America and Europe.
In its oil sands transportation segment, Inter Pipeline owns and operates a series of pipeline systems designed to move bitumen and dilbit from Alberta’s oil sands region to refineries and exporting terminals. Key assets include the Cold Lake and Corridor pipeline systems, which collectively span more than 2,200 kilometres, providing reliable and cost‐efficient access to market for producers. The company’s integrated approach enhances system utilization and flexibility, helping clients manage shipping demands and regulatory requirements.
The NGL processing and petrochemical segment comprises natural gas liquids fractionation plants in Alberta, as well as the Heartland Petrochemical Complex near Fort Saskatchewan. This facility produces polyethylene, a versatile plastic used in packaging, agriculture and consumer products. By converting propane and butane into high‐value polymers, Inter Pipeline adds downstream value to feedstock supplies and diversifies revenue sources beyond traditional midstream activities. Ongoing optimization projects aim to increase throughput and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
Inter Pipeline’s bulk liquid storage business operates a network of terminals located in Canada, Germany and the Netherlands, offering tank capacity for crude oil, refined products and chemical feedstocks. The company serves major refiners, chemical manufacturers and trading houses through long‐term contracts. Under the leadership of President and CEO Martin King, and guided by a board of directors with deep energy sector expertise, Inter Pipeline has grown through strategic expansions and acquisitions. In 2022, the company was acquired by Brookfield Infrastructure, marking a milestone in its development and positioning its assets within a global infrastructure platform.
