据世界石油1月10日消息称，Enterprise Products Partners LP 同意以 32.5 亿美元现金从 Warburg Pincus LLC 手中收购 Navitas Midstream Partners LLC，以在世界上最高产的页岩盆地二叠系盆地增加天然气管道和加工资产。
此次收购是 Enterprise 自 2014 年以来规模最大的一次收购，将把公司的业务范围扩大到二叠纪的一部分米德兰盆地，包括天然气加工和天然气液体。据 Enterprise 称，米德兰盆地的钻井活动约占美国活跃陆上钻井平台的 20%。
Enterprise 联合首席执行官吉姆蒂格周一在一份声明中表示：“除了下游管道，我们在米德兰盆地没有天然气或 NGL。此次收购将为我们提供一个切入点。”
现金过剩的管道运营商正越来越多地转向并购，因为在化石燃料项目日益遭到反对的情况下，它们通过新管道实现增长的机会有限。
瑞穗证券有限责任公司的董事总经理Gabriel Moreen说，对于 Enterprise 来说，“这似乎是一笔很划算的交易”。Moreen 说，Navitas 的资产与 Enterprise 现有的天然气液体管道整合得很好，这应该会提高它们的利用率。“就整个行业而言，这表明行业正在发生整合——虽然速度缓慢，但却是肯定的。”

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.”
