Winston Score History

The full picture

Pembina Pipeline Corporation is a Canadian energy infrastructure company that moves oil, natural gas, and natural gas liquids from where they are produced to where they are processed or sold. Its main customers are oil and gas producers in western Canada, particularly in Alberta and British Columbia. Pembina owns and operates pipelines, processing facilities, and storage terminals, making it one of the largest midstream energy companies in Canada.

Pembina earns most of its revenue through long-term, fee-based contracts, meaning it gets paid for moving and processing energy regardless of whether commodity prices are high or low. This contract structure provides stable, predictable cash flow and is a key part of its competitive position. The company operates almost entirely in Canada, with some export-linked exposure to US markets. Its main growth driver is expanding capacity to serve growing oil sands and liquefied natural gas development in western Canada, while its main risk is a slowdown in upstream production that reduces demand for its infrastructure.
