Targa to Buy Rival Permian Pipeline Operator for $1.25 Billion

By

Natural gas pipeline operator Targa Resources Corp. reached a deal to buy smaller rival Stakeholder Midstream for $1.25 billion in cash.

The move expands Houston-based Targa’s ability to ship and store oil and gas in the Permian Basin, according to a statement Monday. The region has long been short on gas pipeline capacity, often forcing sellers to pay customers to take the fuel off their hands.

Buying San Antonio, Texas-based Stakeholder will give Targa about 480 miles of gas pipelines, 180 million cubic feet per day of cryogenic gas processing and sour treating capacity, carbon capture infrastructure and a small crude oil gathering system, according to the statement. The assets are backed by long-term contracts across about 170,000 acres.
