CALGARY,
AB, June 1, 2023 /CNW/ - Tidewater Midstream
and Infrastructure Ltd.'s ("Tidewater") (TSX: TWM) downstream
operations have resumed at its Prince George Refinery following a
safe and successful planned turnaround. Scheduled on a four-year
cycle, the turnaround was completed on time and on budget, with the
maintenance investment representing the majority of Tidewater's
2023 capital budget.
Additionally, Tidewater has resumed operations at its Brazeau
River Complex ("BRC"), which was impacted by the wildfires in the
area and related evacuation orders earlier in May. The facility
outage is not expected to have a material impact on Tidewater's
2023 financial outlook. Tidewater thanks our staff, contractors,
firefighters, and industry partners for all their tireless efforts
and support through these wildfires.
With major turnaround activities now complete and midstream
operations fully functional, Tidewater's forecasted second
half free cash flow will enhance financial flexibility that
supports increasing shareholder value.
