RBN Energy Blogcast

Rome wasn’t built in a day and neither were the large, wellhead-to-market natural gas and NGL networks that Phillips 66 and a handful of other midstream empires have assembled — many of them targeting the all-important Permian. Now, P66 has reached an agreement to acquire Pinnacle Midstream, whose associated gas gathering system and gas processing complex in the heart of the Midland Basin nicely complement a host of other gathering and processing assets P66 controls through its majority stake in DCP Midstream. In today’s RBN blog, we’ll discuss P66’s planned purchase of Pinnacle Midstream and what it means for the Permian piece of the acquiring company’s broader natgas/NGL system.
