Who is the mysterious seller: Durango or Tenawa? We shall see.
It has been announced that Superior Pipeline Co. LLC was successful in its purchase of natural gas gathering and processing assets in central Kansas. These assets consist of a 1,620-mile gathering system and an 85 MMcf/d cryogenic processing plant. No financial details of the deal have been disclosed as of yet.
At least for now, it remains unclear who is the other party in this transaction. In a bid to amend this secret, we narrowed the circle of likely suspects with the help of our market data to just two of them: Durango and Tenawa. According to our maps, they both suit the profile perfectly. Yet further investigation is needed.
As of Nov. 1, 2021, the acquisition became financially effective. Superior's existing infrastructure in the area will be majorly complemented by it: with the added capacity, the company will be able to serve more operators in the Midcontinent, which should expand its customer base.
According to Bill Ward, the company's senior vice president of commercial activities, this acquisition is one more step in Superior Pipeline's growth strategy that aims to consolidate synergistic assets in its core area in order to increase value for shareholders.
As for Superior Pipeline Co. LLC itself, this midstream energy company boasts full-service capabilities for natural gas gathering, handling, compression, dehydration, transportation, and marketing of natural gas and NGL.
Superior's expanding operations are spread all across the Texas and Oklahoma panhandle, Central-Western Oklahoma, Southeast Oklahoma, Southeast Texas, and the Appalachian region which includes Pennsylvania and West Virginia. Its midstream service volumes exceed 465 MMcf/d, while throughput volumes of NGL are way over 700,000 gallons/day already. And those numbers are only set to expand thanks to the mentioned transaction.
This secretive company is a joint venture, owned equally by Unit Corporation and SP Investor Holdings, LLC, a holding company, which simultaneously belongs to OPTrust and Partners Group, a global private markets investment manager.

The pipeline industry in the USA faced and still faces a range of regulatory challenges, including permitting delays, environmental requirements, and public opposition to pipeline projects. In recent years, pipeline projects like the Keystone XL and Dakota Access pipelines had legal and regulatory obstacles that delayed or canceled their construction. Keystone XL Pipeline, proposed by TransCanada in 2008, aimed to transport crude oil from Canada (around Calgary and Edmonton) to refineries on the Gulf Coast (Port Arthur). The project faced opposition from environmental groups and indigenous communities, who argued that it would contribute to climate change and pose a risk to water resources. In 2015, President Obama rejected the project, citing concerns about its environmental impact. However, in 2017, President Trump revived the project, leading to further legal challenges. In June 2021, U.S. President Joe Biden officially canceled the project on his first day in office.

The renewable natural gas (RNG) industry in the United States is showing promising signs of growth. As of 2019, the U.S. consumed 261 billion cubic feet (BCF) of RNG, primarily utilized by independent power producers, electric utilities, and various commercial and industrial entities. However, this figure represents only a small fraction of its potential. Research indicates that the U.S. could theoretically produce up to 2,200 BCF of RNG through anaerobic digestion alone, which would equate to about 11% of daily national natural gas consumption.

Recently, the progress toward an energy transition is hitting a snag. Sales of electric vehicles are decelerating, and the growth in wind and solar power needs to be keeping pace with expectations. To make matters more challenging, electricity prices are climbing when they were expected to fall. Amidst these setbacks, the oil and gas sectors are proving resilient. According to BP's latest energy outlook, not only are these energy mainstays here to stay, but their demand is expected to remain relatively high even after reaching a peak. Interestingly, BP forecasts that oil demand will reach its zenith next year, marking a critical moment in energy consumption trends. This isn't the first time BP has projected a peak in oil demand. Back in 2019, their review anticipated a decline in demand growth, but the prediction fell flat. Instead, oil demand surged to unprecedented levels following the end of the global pandemic lockdowns, defying previous forecasts and underscoring the enduring dominance of traditional energy sources in the global market.
