In Matador's Favor, For $75 Million Summit Sells Its Permian Midstream Assets

Matador Resources Co. acquires a gathering and processing system for $75 million in New Mexico’s Eddy and Lea counties from Summit Midstream Partners LP, filling up Matador’s midstream portfolio in the Permian Basin.

According to the company release, this purchase is a logical extension of their strategy to keep their midstream operations and assets in control in order to hasten and assist their operations.

Matador reached an agreement with a subsidiary of Summit to gain Summit’s Lane Gathering and Processing System on June 9. In connection with the transaction, the company will also appropriate a certain takeaway capacity on the Double E Pipeline, a FERC-regulated natural gas pipeline operated by Summit.

Nowadays, the Lane G&P System combines a 60 MMcf/d cryogenic natural gas processing plant, three compressor stations, and about 45 miles of natural gas gathering pipelines. It is expected that the company will enlarge the Lane G&P System to help Matador’s environmental, safety, exploration, and production efforts in northern Eddy and Lea counties located within the Delaware Basin.

Gathering and processing services on the Lane G&P System are provided under long-term, fee-based gathering agreements with producers that are primarily targeting crude oil production from the Bone Spring and Wolfcamp shale formations.

As an investor presentation says, Matador began its initial midstream build-out in the Delaware Basin in 2015-2016. Since then the company has extended its midstream footprint in the Delaware using the San Mateo I and San Mateo II joint venture partnerships with Five Point Energy LLC.

Serving as the primary midstream solution for Matador, San Mateo provides midstream services to other E&P operators in the Delaware Basin. It owns and operates oil, natural gas, and produced water gathering and transportation systems in Eddy County, N.M., and Loving County, Texas, the Black River Processing Plant in Eddy County with a designed inlet capacity of 460 MMcf/d of natural gas and 13 commercial saltwater disposal wells in Eddy County and Loving County with a combined designed disposal capacity of 335,000 bbl/d.

This acquisition of additional takeaway from the Delaware Basin is also made to ensure Matador’s and third-party customers’ natural gas is transported to market. The company notices the diligence of all sides in negotiating the transaction and looks forward to closing later this month.
