Delek Logistics Partners, LP (NYSE: DKL) (“Delek Logistics” or
“DKL”) announced the development of permitted acid gas injection
“AGI” capabilities at its under-construction Libby 2 gas processing
plant.
“We are committed to executing our strategy of being the
preferred oil, gas and water midstream services provider in the
Permian Basin. Delek Logistics continues to provide the best
combination of yield and growth in the midstream sector. We are
determined to showcase the value DKL has created in the Permian
Basin and are confident that our strategy will continue to yield
benefits for the stakeholders of Delek Logistics. The announcements
today are a testament to the high-quality growth opportunities we
are seeing in and around our existing assets. Pro-forma for the
announcements DKL will be approaching greater than 70% of its
EBITDA coming from third-party sources. DKL’s current liquidity
of over $700 million allows DKL to pursue these opportunities
without the need for incremental external capital while prudently
managing our leverage and distribution coverage,” said Avigal
Soreq, President at Delek Logistics.
Delek Logistics continues to enhance its "full suite" strategy
with the addition of AGI capabilities at the Libby 2 gas processing
plant, positioning DKL as a leading logistics provider in the
Northern Delaware Basin. The sour natural gas treating and acid gas
injection capability is enabled by our two existing AGI well
permits and amine unit currently under construction. Drilling
activity in this area has generally been restricted due to the lack
of sour natural gas treating and acid gas injection capacity as
well as the lengthy permitting process for AGI wells. This project
will allow our new and existing customers to fully access all six
benches of the Delaware Basin without the liability of hydrogen
sulfide and carbon dioxide. This expansion not only lays the
groundwork for further Libby complex expansion but also adds
significant standalone economic value to the original project
lowering the overall build multiple. We expect to have the AGI
capabilities in the second half of 2025.
Additionally, DKL announced the acquisition of Gravity Water
Midstream for a total consideration of $285 million (comprised of
$200 million in cash and $85 million in DKL units). The acquisition
is synergistic to DKL’s recent acquisition of H2O Midstream and
supplements DKL's integrated crude and produced water gathering and
disposal offering in the Midland Basin. The company is being
acquired at an EBITDA multiple below 5.5x excluding synergies and
is immediately accretive to DKL’s free cash flow, EBITDA and
leverage. The acquisition also presents substantial synergy
opportunities reinforcing DKL's commitment to driving long-term
value for its customers in the Midland Basin. DKL expects the
transaction to close in 1Q’2025.
DKL also secured an additional ~34,000 acreage dedication
incremental to the previously announced ~50,000 acreage dedication
in the Midland Basin. The additional acreage dedication improves
the overall economics and opens the possibility of a cross
commodity offering in the future. This takes total acreage
dedication to DKL in the Midland Basin to ~400,000 acres. This
acreage dedication is supported by DKL’s Delek Permian Gathering
System (DPG) located in West Texas.
