Altus Midstream acquires
stake in Enterprise’s Shin
Oak pipeline
Enterprise Products Partners and Altus Midstream announced the closing of Altus’ acquisition of a 33% equity interest in the Enterprise subsidiary that owns the Shin Oak natural gas liquids (NGL) pipeline, e ective today. e 658-mile Shin Oak pipeline transports growing NGL production from multiple basins, including the Permian, to Enterprise’s NGL fractionation and storage complex in Mont Belvieu, Texas.
NGLs for the Shin Oak system are sourced primarily from Enterprise’s Orla natural gas processing complex in Reeves County, Texas, as well as Apache Corporation’s Alpine High play, via a long-term NGL sales agreement committing 100% of NGLs from that
acreage. Supported by long-term customer commitments, the pipeline will ultimately have capacity to transport up to 550,000 barrels per day of NGLs by the fourth quarter of 2019.
“We are very pleased to have Altus as
a partner in the Shin Oak pipeline, which facilitates continued growth of Permian Basin NGLs that are expected to more than double by 2025,” said AJ “Jim” Teague, chief executive o cer of Enterprise’s general partner. “In addition to providing much-needed takeaway capacity for NGLs, Shin Oak is a key asset in Enterprise’s integrated midstream network, which provides unparalleled access to the most attractive domestic and international markets.”
“Altus is pleased to partner with Enterprise on the Shin Oak pipeline,” said Clay Bretches, CEO of Altus Midstream. “Shin Oak is integrated with Enterprise’s existing pipelines and gas processing plants, which provide supply from multiple basins. is integration, along with connectivity to Enterprise’s fractionation complex in Mont Belvieu, drives substantial volume through the pipeline
and provides superior ow assurance for customers, which is a signi cant competitive advantage for attracting additional third-party business.”
