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.
