（彭博社）“Energy Transfer LP 同意以 32.5 亿美元的价格收购 WTG Midstream，该交易将扩大这家美国管道巨头在二叠纪盆地已经庞大的网络。

根据周二的一份声明，Energy Transfer 将支付 24.5 亿美元现金和约 5080 万个新发行的 Energy Transfer 普通单位，从 Stonepeak、Davis Estate 和 Diamondback Energy 的附属公司手中收购这家位于德克萨斯州米德兰的公司。

由于美国许多地区对新管道建设的反对日益强烈，管道运营商越来越多地转向企业收购来扩张。 WTG Midstream 在西德克萨斯州和新墨西哥州的二叠纪地区运营着最大的私人天然气收集和加工业务，增强了 Energy Transfer 在北美页岩油产量最多的地区的影响力。

该行业由 Energy Transfer、Enterprise Products Partners LP 和 Williams Cos. 等企业巨头主导，但由于环保主义者的法律挑战和缓慢的联邦许可程序，所谓的有机增长受到了阻碍。 Energy Transfer 去年收购了另一家二叠纪管道运营商 Lotus Midstream LLC。

WTG 的管道网络横跨 6,000 英里，为二叠纪米德兰次盆地一些最活跃的地区提供服务。该公司还经营八家加工厂，总产能为每天 13 亿立方英尺。

WTG 还正在建设两个新的处理设施，计划分别于今年晚些时候和 2025 年第三季度投入运营。

该公司在另一份声明中表示，Diamondback 将在此次交易中获得约 3.75 亿美元。它将利用所得款项来减少与即将收购的 Endeavor Energy Resources LP 相关的债务。

Energy Transfer 对 WTG 的收购预计将在第三季度完成。纽约上午 9:31，该收购者的股价上涨 0.2%，至 15.47 美元。响尾蛇上涨1.1%。

(Bloomberg) — Energy Transfer LP agreed to buy WTG Midstream in a $3.25 billion deal that will expand the US pipeline giant’s already sprawling network in the Permian Basin.

Energy Transfer will pay $2.45 billion in cash and about 50.8 million newly issued Energy Transfer common units to acquire the Midland, Texas-based company from affiliates of Stonepeak, the Davis Estate and Diamondback Energy, according to a statement Tuesday.

Pipeline operators are increasingly turning to corporate takeovers to expand amid growing opposition to new pipeline construction in many areas of the US. WTG Midstream runs the largest private natural gas gathering and processing business in the Permian region of West Texas and New Mexico, enhancing Energy Transfer’s presence in North America’s most prolific shale patch.

The sector dominated by corporate giants such as Energy Transfer, Enterprise Products Partners LP and Williams Cos. has been stymied in attempts at so-called organic growth by legal challenges from environmentalists and a glacial federal permitting process. Energy Transfer bought another Permian pipe operator, Lotus Midstream LLC, last year.

WTG’s pipeline network spans 6,000 miles and serves some of the most active areas of the Permian’s Midland sub-basin. The company also operates eight processing plants with a combined capacity of 1.3 billion cubic feet a day.

What Bloomberg Intelligence Says

“Our analysis suggests the deal may add about $380-$425 million in annual Ebitda and shave some costs.” – Talon Custer, BI Industry Analyst. Read the full report here.

WTG also is building two new processing facilities that are scheduled to start operations later this year and in the third quarter of 2025, respectively.

Diamondback will receive about $375 million in the deal, the company said in a separate statement. It will use the proceeds to reduce debt association with the pending takeover of Endeavor Energy Resources LP.

Energy Transfer’s acquisition of WTG is expected to close during the third quarter. The suitor’s shares rose 0.2% to $15.47 at 9:31 a.m. in New York. Diamondback rose 1.1%.
