February Top U.S. Midstream Deals: Delaware Appears As the Key Area
03/04/2019
As production in key locations continue to steadily grow, most midstream companies continued expanding their infrastructure to connect their major producing areas to the promising market delivery locations. Delaware saw most of this activity, where gathering infrastructure is still thought to be underdeveloped. Experts point out the proximity of Mexican and U.S. Gulf of Mexico market as well as growth of the U.S. exports capacity to be primary drivers of CAREX going into new projects.
For instance, see how Howard Energy Partners and NextEra Energy Partners connect their systems to reach both domestic downstream as well as exports market.
Similar capital inflow was seen in Agua Blanca NG Pipeline Deal as First Infrastructure Capital Advisors increased its stake in the pipeline.
Another activity - not quite in Delaware but close enough - was seen at New Mexico - Texas border area, where Matador Resources continued expand its gathering, storage and processing facilities as it enetered the San-Mateo II JV, second one with Five Point Energy.
