Kinder Morgan Files for IPO to Fund Trans Mountain Project
Read MoreHide Full Article
Energy transportation and storage company Kinder Morgan, Inc. (KMI - Free Report) recently announced that its Canadian unit has filed for an initial public offering (IPO) of restricted voting shares to garner funds for its $5.48 billion Trans Mountain project expansion.
Kinder Morgan has filed an introductory prospectus with the American Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). However, the size of the IPO and its timeline in the submission have not been revealed.
The offering will authorize the sale of a portion of Kinder Morgan’s Canadian assets. Notably, Kinder Morgan considered the possibility of either an IPO or a joint venture, with the project startup scheduled for later this year in either case.
The 1,150 km Trans Mountain Pipeline, wholly owned by the Canadian unit of Kinder Morgan, carries crude and refined oil from Alberta to the west coast of British Columbia.
The development of the Trans Mountain project will nearly triple the size of the existing pipeline. It will help Kinder Morgan transport 890,000 barrels a day of crude from Edmonton, Alberta, to Barnaby, British Columbia. Interestingly, the project has been approved the Canadian government in spite of objection from aboriginal and environmental groups.
