Deal will help boost US refiner's liquefied natural gas business. The transaction will increase Phillips 66's ownership stake in DCP Midstream to 86.8%.
In press releases dated January 6, Phillips 66 announced that it plans to acquire more than 43% of DCP Midstream LP. The deal is worth $3.8 billion. The main goal is to expand the business in the oil & gas business.
What is known about the details of the Phillips 66 deal:
- Barclays is the exclusive financial advisor.
- Bracewell LLP is the legal advisor,
- Morris, Nichols, Arsht & Tunnell LLP acted as special advisors in Delaware.
The deal, the first major move by Mark Lashier, who took over as Phillips 66's chief executive, will double the Houston-based company's stake in US pipeline operator DCP Midstream to 86.8%.
DCP Midstream has integrated its platform for accumulating and processing with approximately 4,500 miles of liquefied natural gas liquids (NGL) pipelines and nearly 1,800 miles of natural gas transmission pipelines. The company's diversified Southern Hills, Sand Hills, Front Range and Texas Express pipelines connect the liquids-rich G&P regions with the growing petrochemical and energy markets of the Gulf Coast.
According to the President and CEO of Phillips 66, the company is committed to developing its upstream business. Further integration of DCP Midstream will expand opportunities for their growth.
Last month, Phillips pledged to increase spending on new projects by about 6% in 2023, focusing on maintaining its pipeline business.
The DCP transaction is expected to be accretive to Phillips 66's adjusted EBITDA by $1 billion, the refiner said in a statement.
Phillips said it expects to save at least $300 million by integrating DCP into its existing petroleum products transportation business. The company plans to finance the deal with cash and debt.

![$data['article']['post_image_alt']](https://images2.rextag.com/public/blog/73Blog_Targa Resources to Pay $3.55 Billion Cash to Acquire Lucid Energy.png)
On June 16 Targa Resources Corp. decided to acquire Lucid Energy Group, located in the Permian Basin, which is a part of Riverstone Holdings LLC and Goldman Sachs Asset Management. Firstly, Targa enlarged due to the recent “blot-on” acquisition of Southcross Energy in the Eagle Ford for $200 million and it will become bigger thanks to the $3.55 billion cash transaction. Targa’s financial position allowed it to utilize convenient opportunities to extend its company so it bought #Lucid using available cash and debt with an estimated pro forma year-end 2022 leverage around 3.5 times. According to Targa’s estimates, the acquisition of Lucid will increase the number of natural gas pipelines by 1,050 miles and add about 1.4 Bcf/d of cryogenic natural gas processing capacity in service or under construction located mainly in Eddy and Lea counties of New Mexico. The investment-grade producers source approximately 70% of current system volumes. According to the press release, a full-year standalone adjusted EBITDA is expected to be between $2.675 billion and $2.775 billion and reported year-end leverage ratio of about 2.7 times. Targa’s updated financial expectations assume NGL composite prices average $1.05 per gallon, crude oil prices average $100/bbl, and Waha natural gas prices average $6 per MMBtu for the remainder of 2022.
