San Mateo Midstream, LLC Announces Strategic Relationship with Plains All American Pipeline in Eddy County, NM
DALLAS–(BUSINESS WIRE)–San Mateo Midstream, LLC (“San Mateo” or the “Company”) today announced
a strategic relationship with a subsidiary of Plains All American
Pipeline, L.P. (NYSE: PAA) (“Plains”) to gather and transport crude oil
for upstream producers in Eddy County, New Mexico. Subsidiaries of San
Mateo and Plains have agreed to work together through a Joint Tariff
arrangement and related transactions to offer producers located within a
joint development area of approximately 400,000 acres in Eddy County,
New Mexico (the “Joint Development Area”) crude oil transportation
services from the wellhead to Midland, Texas with access to other end
markets.
In order to transport crude oil from the Joint Development Area to
Midland or other end markets, Plains intends to construct a mainline
extension from its current long-haul oil pipeline system located in
Culberson County, Texas to a central delivery point on San Mateo’s crude
oil pipeline system, which is currently under construction in Eddy
County, New Mexico. San Mateo expects construction will be complete in
the second quarter or early in the third quarter of 2018. In addition,
San Mateo will be able to accept crude oil onto its system from trucks
near the city of Loving, New Mexico. This crude oil trucking station
will provide producers in the area whose oil is not yet connected to
pipe at the wellhead a favorable option to transport oil to Midland and
other end markets. The crude oil will be shipped under a Joint Tariff
that will be filed with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC)
prior to the oil transportation pipeline being placed into service. San
Mateo expects to benefit from Plains’ extensive midstream asset
footprint, long-term customer relationships and outstanding reputation
for oil gathering and transportation services. This strategic
relationship is a milestone for San Mateo as it broadens its portfolio
to offer services across all three production streams—oil transportation
and gathering, natural gas gathering and processing and salt water
gathering and disposal.
Matt Spicer, Vice President and General Manager of San Mateo, said, “We
are excited to announce this strategic relationship between San Mateo
and Plains, and we look forward to working with Plains to provide crude
oil transportation services to producers throughout a large portion of
Eddy County, New Mexico. Not only does this relationship open up
additional market opportunities for both San Mateo and Plains through
each company’s extensive midstream relationships, but it also
demonstrates San Mateo’s commitment to serving the area and expanding
its platform for generating value for customers by providing services
across all three production streams—oil, natural gas and water. The
value of this relationship with Plains is significant to producers,
providing them with increased oil market optionality, flow assurance and
takeaway capacity out of the Delaware Basin with one of the most
experienced and reputable transportation companies in the business.”
Willie Chiang, Chief Operating Officer – Americas for Plains, said, “The
Plains team is excited about this win/win opportunity with San Mateo
Midstream and looks forward to expanding on the asset footprints of San
Mateo’s gathering system and Plains’ trunk line system. Both companies
are positioned well to build upon their prior successes in this part of
the Delaware Basin, and we are pleased about extending our relationship
through this strategic arrangement.”
