May 28 2024 - 8:19AM
Diamondback Energy, Inc. (NASDAQ: FANG) (“Diamondback”) today
announced the sale of WTG Midstream Holdings LLC to Energy Transfer
LP (NYSE: ET) (“ET”) resulting in total pre-tax consideration net
to Diamondback of approximately $375 million, subject to customary
closing conditions and adjustments. Consideration for the
transaction will consist of a mix of cash and ET common units. The
transaction is expected to close in the third quarter of 2024.
Diamondback, through its wholly-owned subsidiary
Rattler Midstream LP (“Rattler”), has owned a 25% stake in Remuda
Midstream Holdings LLC (“WTG Midstream” or “WTG”) since October of
2021. This sale represents ~3.5x multiple on invested capital for
Diamondback. Proceeds from the transaction will be used to reduce
debt associated with the pending Endeavor Energy Resources, L.P.
merger.
“We would like to congratulate Stonepeak and the
WTG team on this fantastic outcome,” stated Travis Stice, Chairman
and Chief Executive Officer of Diamondback. “Not only has our
partnership generated an outsized economic return, but WTG’s gas
gathering and processing system continues to support Diamondback’s
substantial activity on our dedicated acreage. We are excited to
further expand our relationship with Energy Transfer and expect a
smooth operational transition.”
