Market Segment Insights
Marketing Segment Results
The Marketing segment experienced a realized margin of $73 million for the quarter, compared to $135 million in Q3 2024.

Keyera is committed to its capital-efficient projects, which are set to bolster fee-based cash flow while maintaining a sizable growth pipeline.
