據(jù)世界石油1月10日消息稱，Enterprise Products Partners LP 同意以 32.5 億美元現(xiàn)金從 Warburg Pincus LLC 手中收購 Navitas Midstream Partners LLC，以在世界上最高產(chǎn)的頁巖盆地二疊系盆地增加天然氣管道和加工資產(chǎn)。
此次收購是 Enterprise 自 2014 年以來規(guī)模最大的一次收購，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，米德蘭盆地的鉆井活動約占美國活躍陸上鉆井平臺的 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，我們在米德蘭盆地沒有天然氣或 NGL。此次收購將為我們提供一個切入點(diǎn)。”
現(xiàn)金過剩的管道運(yùn)營商正越來越多地轉(zhuǎn)向并購，因為在化石燃料項目日益遭到反對的情況下，它們通過新管道實(shí)現(xiàn)增長的機(jī)會有限。
瑞穗證券有限責(zé)任公司的董事總經(jīng)理Gabriel Moreen說，對于 Enterprise 來說，“這似乎是一筆很劃算的交易”。Moreen 說，Navitas 的資產(chǎn)與 Enterprise 現(xiàn)有的天然氣液體管道整合得很好，這應(yīng)該會提高它們的利用率。“就整個行業(yè)而言，這表明行業(yè)正在發(fā)生整合——雖然速度緩慢，但卻是肯定的。”

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.”
