Plains All American, Oryx Midstream to Merge Permian Basin Assets
08/10/2021
Plains All American Pipeline LP has decided to unite its Permian Basin assets with Oryx Midstream Holdings LLC, a privately held company. The Plains Oryx Permian Basin JV will comprise a crude pipeline with a capacity of 6.8 million bbl/d. This pipeline spans 5,500 miles, with an average remaining contract term of approximately seven years on the JV's 4.1 million committed acres.
Plains All American Pipeline LP owns the bulk of Permian Basin assets. Oryx Midstream, on the other hand, has significant holdings in the Permian Basin. Plains Oryx Permian Basin LLC will operate in the Permian Basin as a joint venture. Plains will hold 65% of the JV, and Oryx will control 35%, with the precise cash split set by a 10-year tiered modified distribution sharing agreement.
Moreover, without synergies, the JV is projected to produce $800 million in EBITDA and $625 million in free cash flow in 2021. The merger agreement's transactions are anticipated to complete in the fourth quarter of 2021.
JV's Journey In Merging Permian Basin Assets
Oryx Midstream and Plains working together is a natural evolution growth story. Plains' assets include about 5,500 pipeline kilometers and a multi-segment pipeline system capacity of 6.8 million barrels per day. Oryx has about 1,600 miles of pipeline and operational storage capacity in the Permian Basin, as well as 1.3 million acres of long-term acreage dedication and marketing agreements.
Midstream operators realize the advantages of scale and the ability to run their systems effectively. In addition, with the recent increase of takeaway capacity from the Permian Basin and a decrease in production levels as operators curtailed operations during the pandemic, the pipeline capacity is sufficient.
When the joint venture officially launches, the emphasis will be on integrating the two systems. With the JV's merged asset base, there will be more possibilities for optimization and operational leverage within the enlarged and integrated system. Plains Oryx Permian Basin JV is a beneficial deal for consumers, providing greater connection, better dependability, and increased efficiency.
This acquisition is a huge step forward in terms of enhancing the capabilities for the benefit of their customers and investors.
Plains Oryx Permian Basin will continue to develop and provide consumers with the best choices available. They are also enthusiastic about the deal and the joint venture's prospects, and what they can offer their consumers.

Enterprise acquires Navitas Midstream for $3.25 billion in cash
Enterprise decided to go in on the Permian Basin. With the surprise purchase of Navitas Midstream for $3.25 billion in cash, the company gained a foothold in the Midland Basin, as it previously lacked #naturalgas or NGL infrastructure apart from downstream pipelines in the region. Enterprise estimates that distributable cash flow accretion will be in the range of $0.18 to $0.22 per unit in 2023, while simultaneously supporting additional capital returns to their limited partners through distribution growth and buybacks of common units.
From Beginnings to a $7.1 Billion Milestone: Deal-Making Histories of Energy Transfer and Crestwood - Complex Review by Rextag
Energy Transfer's unit prices have surged over 13% this year, bolstered by two significant acquisitions. The company spent nearly $1.5 billion on acquiring Lotus Midstream, a deal that will instantly boost its free and distributable cash flow. A recently inked $7.1 billion deal to acquire Crestwood Equity Partners is also set to immediately enhance the company's distributable cash flow per unit. Energy Transfer aims to unlock commercial opportunities and refinance Crestwood's debt, amplifying the deal's value proposition. These strategic acquisitions provide the company additional avenues for expanding its distribution, which already offers a strong yield of 9.2%. Energized by both organic growth and its midstream consolidation efforts, Energy Transfer aims to uplift its payout by 3% to 5% annually.
As world leaders gather at the COP29 climate summit, a surprising trend is emerging: some of the biggest oil companies are scaling back their renewable energy efforts. Why? The answer is simple—profits. Fossil fuels deliver higher returns than renewables, reshaping priorities across the energy industry.
The global oil market is full of potential but also fraught with challenges. Demand and production are climbing to impressive levels, yet prices remain surprisingly low. What’s driving these mixed signals, and what role does the U.S. play?
