What the Heartland Extraction Plant involves
The Heartland Extraction Plant is a construction-led project designed to extract natural gas liquids for Pembina. Key facts from the announcement include:
-
Designed to process up to 21.2 million standard cubic metres per day of natural gas
-
Extracts natural gas liquids from the Yellowhead Pipeline
-
Scheduled to begin operations in late 2029
-
Described as a construction-led project
-
Delivered by an integrated EPFC team from Worley’s Alberta locations
Understanding EPFC contracts and natural gas liquids
An EPFC (engineering, procurement, fabrication and construction) contract is a full-lifecycle delivery model. Under this arrangement, Worley handles the project end-to-end, spanning the design, sourcing of materials, fabrication of components, and physical construction on site.
Natural gas liquids (NGLs) are hydrocarbons separated out during gas processing, and the infrastructure required to extract them remains in demand across producing regions.
Why does this matter to investors? The mandate positions Worley as a full project delivery partner.
Why this win matters for Worley investors
The award reinforces Worley’s expertise in delivering integrated gas projects. It also continues a long-standing relationship with Pembina, a signal of repeat business rather than a first-time engagement.
Long-duration gas infrastructure partnerships have become a defining feature of Worley’s contract strategy, with the company securing an exclusive three-year framework agreement with APA Group to support capacity expansion across Australia’s national gas transmission and storage network.
Chris Ashton, Chief Executive Officer, Worley
“This award is further evidence of Worley’s expertise in delivering integrated gas projects and continues our long-standing relationship with Pembina, reflecting their ongoing confidence in Worley as a full project delivery partner.”
