OREANDA-NEWS. April 28, 2016. American Midstream Partners, LP (NYSE: AMID) (the "Partnership") today
announced the acquisition of a 66.7 percent interest in the Okeanos
pipeline, a 100-mile gas gathering system located in the Gulf of Mexico,
from an affiliate of the Partnership’s general partner. Acquisition of
the Okeanos pipeline complements the Partnership’s existing offshore
infrastructure and further strengthens the Partnership’s position as a
significant and integrated participant in offshore infrastructure,
particularly in the deep-water.
The acquisition was fully funded under the \\$225 million financing
announced on April 25, 2016 in conjunction with the acquisition of
interests in Destin, Tri-States, and Wilprise, as well as crude, natural
gas, and salt water onshore and offshore pipelines acquired from Chevron
and the acquisition of an incremental interest in Delta House. The
benefit of the acquisition of a majority interest in Okeanos was
included in the updated 2016 forecast announced on April 25, 2016.
The Okeanos pipeline has total capacity of 1.0 billion cubic feet per
day and connects two platforms and one lateral, terminating at the
Destin Main Pass 260 platform in the Mississippi Canyon region of the
Gulf of Mexico. The pipeline is designed to meet capacity requirements
for platforms currently connected and has existing capacity to
accommodate third-party volumes via subsea tie-backs or new export
lines. Contracted volumes on Okeanos are based on life-of-field
dedication. Enbridge, Inc. is the minority interest holder.
