Wolf Midstream Inc. (Wolf) has announced that it has closed the acquisition of the previously announced agreement to acquire a 50 ownership interest in Access Pipeline from Devon Energy Corp. for $1.4 billion. The Access Pipeline system includes pipelines that transport blended bitumen and diluent between the Christina Lake area of Northeastern Alberta and Edmonton. Under the terms of the transaction, Devon's thermal-oil acreage is dedicated to Access for an initial term of 25 years.

"Access is an attractive foundational asset for Wolf that provides us with immediate scale as a midstream entity. This asset has significant expansion potential and is well positioned to interconnect with future midstream initiatives in the Fort Saskatchewan area. With CPPIB's full ongoing support we intend to actively pursue Access expansions, new acquisitions, and greenfield projects that add value for our customers in the oil and gas industry" said Gord Salahor, Wolf's Chief Executive Officer.
