‘Tis the Season for Midstream Deals and Decisions in the Permian Jingle bells are ringing this week in the Land of Oil and Gas A-plenty where midstream operators are already unwrapping holiday gifts. Reese Energy Consulting today is following the latest from the Permian, starting with Midland, Texas-based rockstars Kinetik Midstream and E&P Permian Resources. Kinetik, which in short order has become the Delaware’s largest independent gatherer and processor, operates 4,600+ miles of natural gas and crude oil pipe, and six gas plants with another under construction and another one planned. The company in 3Q reported $83.7 million in net income—a 94% increase year over year—and fattened its stake in Diamondback Energy’s EPIC crude pipeline to 27.5%. Kinetik will now further expand its “super system” in a $180 million bolt-on deal for Permian Resources’ Delaware oil and gas midstream assets. Kinetik gains 60,000 gross acres dedicated by Permian Resources under long-term, fixed-fee agreements that include 150 MMCFD and an estimated 250 MBPD next year, 250 MMCFD of compression, and natural gas processing. For its part, Permian Resources is sticking to its guns to remain the Delaware’s lowest-cost operator. This, after announcing a third consecutive increase to its full-year production targets and 160.8 MBPD announced in 3Q. Rock on, rockstars. Energy Transfer meanwhile has gifted Permian producers with a FID on the formerly named Warrior natural gas pipeline project. Now known as the Hugh Brinson, the 400-mile pipeline will flow an initial 1.5 BCFD from the Waha Hub to its pipeline connection south of Fort Worth. Phase I completion is expected by year end 2026 to be followed by Phase II which will increase capacity to 2.2 BCFD. Jingle all the way. What do you think?

Another day, another M&A announcement -- what does it mean for ComboCurve users? "As majors continue the consolidation trend and double down on their core acreage, they'll continue to shed anything they deem as "non-core," presenting unique opportunities for smaller players. We will continue to see these smaller players shine as they move more quickly on growing their acreage positions. And as for ComboCurve users, they have the tools they will require when the need to be competitive and stay agile is at an all-time high as M&A is not slowing down," says VP of Customer Experience Allyson Kidwell, PMP, CSM.

More Smokin’ Hot Deals to Be Had in the Lone Star State  Reese Energy Consulting today is following the latest buzz from the nation’s largest oil-producing state where the Texas horse trading continues among midstreamers and Eagle Ford producers. First up is Houston-based Phillips 66 (PSX), which operates a midstream powerhouse with 72,000 miles of crude oil, natural gas, and NGL pipelines, along with fractionation and gas processing—all of which serve its diverse business segment to include chemicals and refining. After a years’ long JV courtship, PSX last year acquired DCP Midstream for $3.8 billion to further beef up its NGL business following record fractionated volumes and growing export demand. The company will now add even more meat to its NGL bones in the Permian Midland with the pick-up of Pinnacle Midstream II LLC for $550 million. The deal includes the Dos Pico processing complex with 220 MMCFD of capacity, ample space for a second 220 MMCFD gas plant, and 80 miles of pipeline. In short order Houston-based WildFire Energy LLC has shrewdly executed its pure-play South Texas strategy to create the largest consolidated acreage position in the Eagle Ford. The company has now landed its fourth acquisition in three years, this time in a deal with Apache Corporation. The price was not disclosed but wraps up Apache’s non-core asset sale that fetched a total $750 million. Wildfire will gain 237,000 net acres, 11 MBOED, and interests in 465 wells. Pro forma, the company will operate 850,000 net acres, 50 MBOED, and more than 2,000 gross wells. What do you think?

Enterprise Bets on a Dark Horse Back in 2020, Houston-based Piñon Midstream LLC set out to cure a massive headache for producers in Perm Town’s most prolific eastern flank of the Delaware in N.M., and Texas—namely, the lack of infrastructure to gather and treat pervasive sour gas. Solving that problem would no doubt be a grand introduction into the nation’s hottest play. Solving another would be even grander. So, in 2021, Piñon unveiled two of three plants comprising its Dark Horse sour gas treating and CCS facility in Lea County, N.M. At the time, Dark Horse offered amine treating capacity of 170 MMCFD, the state’s largest and deepest acid gas injection well, and CO2 and H2S capture and sequestration. Expansions would continue over the years. And at least one of the Big Five midstream operators was closely watching. Reese Energy Consulting today is following the latest news from Houston-based Enterprise Products, which has found a red-carpet entry into this slice of the Delaware with a $950 million acquisition of Piñon Midstream. This, Enterprise says, saves the company three to four years building out itself. Pinion’s Dark Horse is the largest facility of its kind in N.M., sitting fat and happy in an area where drilling has been largely restricted due to the lack of sour gas treating and acid gas injection capacity. And where more than 7,500 remaining well locations wait to be loved. The deal with Piñon includes 50 miles of gathering and redelivery pipe, five 3-stage compressor stations, two of the Delaware’s highest capacity and deepest acid injection wells at 18,000’, and 270 MMCFD of H2S and CO2 treating facilities. Expansions to 450 MMCFD are slated for completion next year. Enterprise reports adding a third injection well to increase capacity to 750 MMCFD. What do you think?
