中游公司Harvest Midstream于 8 月 27 日宣布，将与MPLX LP达成 10 亿美元现金对价协议，收购落基山脉地区的天然气收集和加工资产。

这些资产横跨怀俄明州、犹他州和科罗拉多州的尤因塔河和绿河流域。

在尤因塔盆地，资产包括约 700 英里的天然气收集管道和 Ironhorse 和 Stagecoach 加工厂约 345 MMcf/d 的活跃天然气处理能力。

在绿河盆地，资产包括约 800 英里的天然气收集和运输管道、来自 Blacks Fork 和 Vermilion 加工厂的约 500 MMcf/d 活跃天然气处理能力以及 10,000 桶/d 的分馏塔处理能力。

作为交易的一部分，Harvest同意在先前承诺到期后，从2028年开始的七年内，每天从该资产中向MPLX供应12,000桶NGL。交易完成后，Harvest将全面控制该资产的运营。

MPLX 总裁兼首席执行官 Maryann Mannen 在公司新闻稿中表示，此次交易正值 MPLX 致力于完善其产品组合之际。

曼南表示：“评估我们投资组合的竞争定位是一项战略承诺。剥离这些资产将使我们的投资组合更好地定位于马塞勒斯盆地和二叠纪盆地，从而实现增长。”

该交易预计将于第四季度完成。

Harvest Midstream is expanding in the Rockies in a $1 billion cash consideration deal with MPLX LP for natural gas gathering and processing assets, the midstream companies announced Aug. 27.

The assets span across the Uinta and Green River basins in Wyoming, Utah and Colorado.

In the Uinta Basin, the assets include approximately 700 miles of gas gathering pipelines and about 345 MMcf/d of active gas processing capacity at the Ironhorse and Stagecoach processing facilities.

In the Green River Basin, the assets include approximately 800 miles of gas gathering and transportation pipelines, about 500 MMcf/d of active gas processing capacity from the Blacks Fork and Vermilion processing facilities and 10,000 bbl/d of fractionator capacity.

As part of the deal, Harvest agreed to supply 12,000 bbl/d of NGLs from the assets to MPLX for seven years beginning in 2028 following the expiration of a pre-existing commitment. Harvest will assume full operational control over the assets when the deal closes.

The deal comes as MPLX works to refine its portfolio, MPLX President and CEO Maryann Mannen said in the company’s press release.

"Evaluating the competitive positioning of our portfolio is a strategic commitment," said Mannen. "The divestiture of these assets better positions our portfolio for growth, anchored in the Marcellus and Permian basins."

The transaction is expected to close in the fourth quarter.
