By contracting capacity on Pembina-owned and third-party pipelines and utilizing the Company’s rail fleet and logistics capabilities, the MBU enhances market access and pricing for both Pembina and Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin (WCSB) producers, while also identifying and advancing commercial opportunities that support the growth and optimization of Pembina’s broader asset portfolio.
