RE:RE:RE:RE:So who bought Pembina's still don't see the economics of taking a $1 biilion asset, that is loaded down in the subsidiary JV, and blowing it out for about $600 million net of their obligations to fund the expected $50 million of final costs.
$400 million loss - i know they are not the operator, , they were ordered to divest nor is the project up & running but this is in the 95% completion range. time value of $ , say 10% and the non-operating discount say another 10% - but we are seeing 40% - and
those discounts are against tangible costs - they should be against net npv; so unless this asset gets mothballed after recapture of costs it has to have an npv greator than the tangible costs????
Looking another way, They spent $2 billion gross, the great bulk of which was on budget and pre disaster economics , so given current inflationary economics it is reasonable to conclude that replacement costs could be $500 - $900 million more.
And KEY is still saying the project is meeting or exceeding their investment hurdle-

PGI, which is owned 60 percent by Pembina and 40 percent by KKR's global infrastructure funds, has through its subsidiary entered into an agreement to sell its 50 percent non-operated interest in KAPS. Under the agreement, PGI will continue to fund its share of the project costs under the current project scope until the end of 2023. The current project scope aligns with the capital cost estimate of $1 billion, net to PGI, most recently disclosed by the operator. Upon closing of the sale ("Closing"), PGI will receive cash proceeds of $662.5 million. PGI will use the proceeds to repay drawn credit facilities associated with the KAPS construction funding. Additional total equity contributions from Pembina to PGI related to KAPS funding under the current project scope are expected to be approximately $50 million between the fourth quarter of 2022 and the end of 2023. Closing is expected to occur in the first quarter of 2023 and is subject to approval by the Commissioner of Competition as well as satisfaction of other closing conditions.
