ArcLight Capital Partners has closed a $857m deal to acquire Targa Resources’ wholly-owned subsidiary, which owns a 25% stake in the Gulf Coast Express Pipeline (GCX) in the Permian basin, in Waha, Texas.
The 853km-long Gulf Coast Express project, which was commissioned in 2019, has the capacity to transport up to two billion cubic feet per day (bcfd) of natural gas.

It is supported by several shippers under long-term, committed contracts.
Operated by Kinder Morgan, the GCX natural gas pipeline is intended to provide critical residue gas takeaway services from the Permian basin to key US Gulf Coast end-markets.
It helps in meeting demands in regions such as the growing liquefied natural gas (LNG) export market in South Texas.
The project runs from the Waha Hub near Coyanosa, Texas, in the Permian basin, and terminates near Agua Dulce, Texas.
