Summit Midstream Partners sanctioned the Double E Pipeline Project ("Double E" or the "Project"), after having secured sufficient commitments.
Project Details
- 1.35 Bcf/d of initial capacity
- XTO is the foundation shipper with 500,000 dth/d for 10 years
Double E will provide natural gas transportation service from multiple receipt points in the Delaware Basin to various delivery points in and around the Waha Hub in Texas. SMLP will own a majority of the Project, will lead the development, permitting and construction of the Project, and will operate Double E upon commissioning. SMLP estimates that its share of the capital expenditures required to develop Double E will total approximately $350 million, and that more than 90% of those capital expenditures will be incurred in 2020 and 2021.
SMLP intends to fund its share of the capital expenditures for Double E with a combination of internally generated cash flow and proceeds from potential non-core asset divestitures. In addition, given the take-or-pay volume commitments underpinning the Project, SMLP and its lenders have amended SMLP's revolving credit facility to provide additional flexibility with respect to its financial performance metrics during the construction of the Project. SMLP will continue to evaluate opportunities to further optimize its financing plan for Double E as it continues to develop the Project.
"We are excited to announce our FID on the Double E Pipeline Project, which will provide critical energy infrastructure for rapidly growing residue natural gas volumes in the Northern Delaware Basin," said Leonard Mallett, interim President and Chief Executive Officer of SMLP. "The Double E Project will serve an infrastructure-constrained area, alleviate natural gas flaring, and provide access to growing markets along the U.S. Gulf Coast. Double E is a marquee project for SMLP, and when combined with our existing gathering and processing operations in the Permian Basin, promotes our strategy of achieving scale, diversifying our operations downstream of wellhead gathering, and becoming more integrated in our Core Focus Areas."
