The Company

Gibson Energy Inc. (“Gibson” or the “Company”) is a diversified North American energy infrastructure company headquartered in Calgary, Alberta. They have significant terminal assets, including 25 million barrels of storage and over 300 miles (500 kilometres) of crude pipelines across North America. The company has been providing market access to the oil and gas industry for over 70 years and is publicly traded on the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX:GEI) with a market capitalization of approximately $4 billion. 

Gibson Energy operates through two main segments: 

1. Infrastructure: This includes terminals, marine loading, rail loading and unloading facilities, gathering pipelines, a diluent recovery unit, and a crude oil processing facility. Key facilities within this segment include the Hardisty, Edmonton, and Ingleside Terminals, as well as gathering pipelines in the United States and a crude oil processing facility in Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan. 
2. Marketing: This involves the purchasing, selling, storing, and optimizing of hydrocarbon products. 

US Assets

Gibson Energy has a strong presence in the United States, due to the acquisition of the Gateway Terminal in Ingleside, Texas. This terminal is a world-class liquids terminal and export facility with very large crude carrier (VLCC) capabilities and direct pipeline connections to key basins like the Permian and Eagle Ford. The acquisition strengthens Gibson's cash flow with over 95% of the revenue under take-or-pay contracts with high-quality counterparties. 

The Gateway Terminal is a world-class liquids terminal and export facility located in Ingleside, Texas. The terminal is one of only two Texas Gulf Coast terminals with very large crude carrier (VLCC) capabilities and direct pipeline connections to the prolific Permian and Eagle Ford basins. This strategic acquisition strengthens Gibson’s cash flow with >95% of the revenue under take-or-pay contracts with investment grade or high-quality counterparties who are existing customers of Gibson. 

This latest addition to Gibson’s operations amplifies Gibson’s high-quality infrastructure revenues and bolsters the continued growth of the Company’s distributable cash flow per share.
