In December 2021, another Tailwater Capital portfolio company, Producers Midstream II, signed deals to buy a 100% stake in gas gathering and processing assets, in the Anadarko basin, from Midcoast Energy.
The firm also agreed to buy a 35% interest in Midcoast’s Texas Express Gathering (TEG), a Y-grade gathering pipeline.
Earlier this month, the US DOI announced that it had allocated $4.7bn of funding to help clean up abandoned oil and gas wells.
