Synstream Energy Corp. Announces an Agreement to Provide Feedstock to Partners Gas-to-Liquids Plant; Signs a Synthetic Diesel Puchase and Sale Agreement with IES Energy Corp.

Calgary, Alberta (FSCwire) - SynStream Energy Corp. (“SynStream” or the “Company”) (TSXV:SHM), in conjunction with Expander Energy Inc. (“Expander”) and a consortium of private investors, is pleased to announce that this partnership has entered into a multi-year agreement with an Alberta-based oil and gas production company to provide feedstock to Canada’s first small scale commercial gas-to-liquids plant. The partnership selected Greyrock Energy’s Direct Fuel Production™ gas-to-liquids technology featuring Greyrock’s GreyCat™ catalyst. The production company will provide natural gas and natural gas liquids (C2 plus) from its gas plant in southern Alberta and will incorporate Expander GTL enhancements for the use of NGLs and recycle of naphtha products to syngas generation called Enhanced GTL (EGTL™ SynDiesel® plant).

Under the terms of the agreement, the SynStream Expander GTL plant will be supplied with 3.7 to 5.0 mmscf/day or BTU equivalent of natural gas and natural gas liquids. The specific commercial terms of the supply agreement will be outlined in formal agreements to be completed by the companies. SynStream and Expander are currently evaluating potential sites in close proximity to the supplying gas plant on which to build and operate the gas-to-liquids plant.

In conjunction with the signing of the natural gas supply contract, SynStream and Expander are also pleased to report that they have signed a multi-year Synthetic Diesel Purchase and Sale Agreement (the “Offtake Agreement”) with IES Energy Inc. (“IES”). Under terms of the Offtake Agreement, SynStream and Expander have the ability to sell up to all synthetic diesel production volumes from its Enhanced GTL® SynDiesel® plant to IES.

The Offtake Agreement’s term is 5 years and can be renewed, on a rolling basis, for subsequent two year terms upon mutual agreement by SynStream, Expander, and IES. SynStream’s synthetic diesel is expected to be produced by SynStream, Expander, and its partners at Canada’s first small scale Enhanced GTL® SynDiesel® plant at a proposed location in close proximity to the southern Alberta gas plant.

The gas-to-liquids plant is designed to convert natural gas and natural gas liquids into premium zero sulphur, high cetane, ultra-low aromatics paraffinic diesel fuel. Paraffinic diesel fuel was approved on June 19, 2016 for use in Europe and has received the EN15940 designation from the European Committee for Standardization. SynDiesel^® is a “drop-in” fuel, therefore it can be blended with petroleum-based diesel to improve overall performance of the petro-diesel, or used unblended in any diesel engine and can be transported using existing infrastructure.

SynStream continues to evaluate business development opportunities in the petroleum and natural gas resource sectors, focusing on its partnership between with Expander Energy Inc. and a consortium of private investors to build Canada’s first small-scale commercial Enhanced GTL® (“EGTL™”) plant in Alberta.
