此次收購(gòu)是 Enterprise 自 2014 年以來(lái)規(guī)模最大的一次收購(gòu)，將把公司的業(yè)務(wù)范圍擴(kuò)大到二疊紀(jì)的一部分米德蘭盆地，包括天然氣加工和天然氣液體。據(jù) Enterprise 稱(chēng)，米德蘭盆地的鉆井活動(dòng)約占美國(guó)活躍陸上鉆井平臺(tái)的 20%。
Enterprise 聯(lián)合首席執(zhí)行官吉姆蒂格周一在一份聲明中表示：“除了下游管道，我們?cè)诿椎绿m盆地沒(méi)有天然氣或 NGL。此次收購(gòu)將為我們提供一個(gè)切入點(diǎn)。”
現(xiàn)金過(guò)剩的管道運(yùn)營(yíng)商正越來(lái)越多地轉(zhuǎn)向并購(gòu)，因?yàn)樵诨剂享?xiàng)目日益遭到反對(duì)的情況下，它們通過(guò)新管道實(shí)現(xiàn)增長(zhǎng)的機(jī)會(huì)有限。

Enterprise buys into Permian natural gas market with $3.3B acquisition
Enterprise Products Partners LP agreed to buy Navitas Midstream Partners LLC from Warburg Pincus LLC for $3.25 billion in cash to add natural gas pipeline and processing assets in the Permian Basin, the world’s most prolific shale basin.
The acquisition, Enterprise’s largest since 2014, will expand the company’s reach into the Midland Basin, part of the Permian, to include gas processing and natural gas liquids. Drilling activity in the Midland Basin represents about 20% of active onshore drilling rigs in the U.S., according to Enterprise.
“We do not have a natural gas or NGL presence in the Midland Basin other than downstream pipelines,” Jim Teague, Enterprise’s co-chief executive officer, said Monday in a statement, referring to natural gas liquids. “This acquisition will give us an entry point.”
Pipeline operators with excess cash are increasingly turning to mergers and acquisitions as they face limited opportunities to grow via new conduits amid increased opposition to fossil fuel projects.
“It seems like a strong deal” for Enterprise, says Gabriel Moreen, a managing director at Mizuho Securities LLC. Navitas’s assets integrate well with Enterprise’s existing gas liquids conduits, which should improve their utilization, Moreen said. “For the industry as a whole, it shows consolidation is happening -- slowly but surely.”
