CALGARY, Sept. 8, 2011 /CNW/ - Provident Energy Ltd. (Provident) (TSX:
PVE) (NYSE: PVX) announces today that its previously disclosed $10
million increase in expansion capital is related to the construction of
a truck unloading terminal located at Cromer, Manitoba. The terminal,
plus associated storage, will have an initial capacity of approximately
2,000 barrels per day of natural gas liquids production from the Bakken
area. The natural gas liquids from this terminal will be injected into
the Enbridge mainline for transport to Sarnia, Ontario. Provident has
entered into a supply agreement with Petrobakken Energy Ltd. to
underpin the terminal project and, as supply in the area grows,
Provident will be able to expand its terminal on a very cost effective
basis.
"The Cromer terminal project is a key initiative that was an important
part of our Three Star Trucking Ltd. acquisition strategy, is
underpinned with producer supply agreements, augments our Empress East
NGL supply, and will be immediately accretive to EBITDA," said
President and Chief Executive Officer, Doug Haughey.
Provident anticipates the project will cost approximately $10 million to
complete and will begin receiving volumes in the first quarter of 2012.

Provident's 2011 annualized dividend rate is $0.54 per common share.

on September 7, 2011 of $8.34, Provident's yield is approximately 6.5
percent.

2011 cash dividend will be approximately US$0.045per share based on an
