Whitewater Midstream LLC Acquires Gateway Pipeline, Formerly Owned by Sendero
08/28/2021
Whitewater Midstream LLC, a company that manages assets of over 3 billion USD in natural gas transportation in the Permian Basin, has expanded the range of its pipelines after acquiring Sendero Midstream Partner LP’s Gateway Pipeline. It is approximately 24-mile long and 24 inches in diameter. The company has made the acquisition official through an announcement on 26th August 2021. The Gateway pipeline, which was previously owned by Sendero, transports dry gas to WhiteWater’s Agua Blanca intrastate pipeline network.
The amount in which the roughly 24-mile-long pipeline has been acquired by Whitewater Midstream LLC is not disclosed According to Sendero, their formerly-owned Gateway dry gas pipeline has been operational since the second quarter of 2020.
Back in January 2021, Whitewater Midstream LLC announced the expansion of their natural gas pipeline into the Permian Basin that transports gas to the Waha Hub for processing and production. The Agua Blanca system’s capacity is now over 3 Bcf/d. This was a joint venture between Whitewater Midstream LLC and MPLX. This system consists of gas transportation systems with large diameter pipelines.
Additionally, the gas pipeline network facilitates Culberson, Loving, Pecos, Reeves, Ward, and Winkler counties in Western Texas. Agua Blanca connects to nearly 20 gas production and processing stations around the Permian’s Delaware sub-basin. Whitewater Midstream LLC was led by First Infrastructure Capital for its investment in the Agua Blanca project.
Post the company’s Agua Blanca expansion, from April to May 2021, Whitewater Midstream LLC held an open season where they were looking to determining interest in the capacity of 2 Bcf at the Waha Gas Storage facility located in Pecos County, Texas. Its Whistler Pipeline Service began its full commercial operations on 1st July 2021. The Whistler Pipeline service was made to transport natural gas to the markets located in various regions of the Gulf of Mexico. According to the company, this project will ensure the takeaway of an adequate amount of reliable gas. Other than that, the project also envisions to work in the Permian Basin to reduce natural gas flaring.

Occidental, CrownRock Merger Under Regulatory Review: 2024 Update
CrownRock's 94,000+ net acres acquisition complements Occidental's Midland Basin operations, valued at $12.0 billion. This expansion enhances Occidental's Midland Basin-scale and upgrades its Permian Basin portfolio with ready-to-develop, low-cost assets. The deal is set to add around 170 thousand barrels of oil equivalent per day in 2024, with high-margin, sustainable production.
Anticipated Growth: Endeavor Energy's Value Nearing $30 Billion
This summer, J.P. Morgan Securities highlighted Endeavor Energy Resources as the Midland Basin's standout in mergers and acquisitions, suggesting its value might approach $30 billion. Endeavor Energy Resources, a privately-owned entity in Midland focusing solely on its operations, has seen a significant uptick in production. It now boasts a production rate of 331,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day (boe/d), marking a 25% increase from the previous year.
The Williston Basin is a big area filled with layers of rock that sits next to the Rocky Mountains in western North Dakota, eastern Montana, and the southern part of Saskatchewan in Canada. This area covers roughly 110,000 square miles. Geologically, it's very similar to the Alberta Basin in Canada. People started drilling for oil in the Williston Basin back in 1936, and by 1954, most of the land where oil could likely be found was already claimed for drilling. The Bakken Formation with parts of Montana, North Dakota, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba has become one of only ten oil fields globally to yield over 1 million barrels per day (bpd) since the late 2000s. It is currently the third-largest U.S. shale oilfield, behind the Permian and Eagle Ford. The boom in the Bakken started around September 2008, coinciding with the U.S. housing market crash. The application of new technologies, such as swell packers enabling multiple-stage fracturing, significantly enhanced oil recovery, making the Bakken Formation a key player in the U.S. In 2022, the Bakken oil field saw big improvements in how much oil and gas it could produce. At the start of the year, 27 drilling rigs were working there, more than double the 11 rigs from the start of 2021. Important upgrades included making the Tioga Gas Plant able to process 150 million cubic feet more gas each day, and making the Dakota Access Pipeline bigger, increasing its oil transport capacity from 570,000 to 750,000 barrels every day.
Continental Resources is expanding its operations in the Midland Basin, including taking over some assets that used to belong to Occidental Petroleum. The company plans to use its expertise in exploration in this area.
Equinor and EQT Corporation have agreed that Equinor will exchange its operated assets in the Marcellus and Utica shale formations in Ohio for a stake in EQT’s non-operated interests in the Northern Marcellus formation.
