Expands Permian Basin pipeline and processing network providing further access to growing supplies of natural gas and NGLs
DALLAS–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Energy Transfer LP (NYSE: ET) (Energy Transfer) announced today the completion of its previously announced acquisition of WTG Midstream Holdings LLC (WTG). Total consideration for the transaction was $2,275 million in cash and approximately 50.8 million newly issued ET common units.
The acquired assets add approximately 6,000 miles of complementary gas gathering pipelines that extend Energy Transfer’s network in the Midland Basin. Also, as part of the transaction, the Partnership added eight gas processing plants with a total capacity of approximately 1.3 Bcf/d, and two additional processing plants which are under construction.
