Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--Targa Resources Corporation (NYSE:TRGP) (Houston, Texas) said Tuesday it reached an agreement to acquire full ownership of the Grand Prix natural gas liquids (NGL) pipeline, which connects the midstream company's assets in the Permian Basin, North Texas and Southern Oklahoma to its fractionation and storage facility in Mont Belvieu, Texas. Industrial Info is tracking 41 projects from Targa, worth $2 billion, which includes the planned construction of the Daytona NGL pipeline--an addition to the Grand Prix system.

Targa already owned a 75% interest in the Grand Prix Pipeline and purchased the remaining 25% from Blackstone Energy Partners, the private equity arm of Blackstone Incorporated (NYSE:BX) (New York, New York), for $1.5 billion in cash "plus customary working capital adjustments," according to a related press release. Targa expects the acquisition to close in the first quarter of 2023.

The pipeline has the capacity to transport up to 1 million barrels per day (BBL/d), according to the press release. "The performance of our Grand Prix NGL Pipeline has exceeded expectations since it began full operations in the third quarter of 2019, integrating our leading NGL supply aggregation position in the Permian Basin to key demand markets in Mont Belvieu and along the U.S. Gulf Coast," said Matt Meloy, chief executive officer of Targa.

The company is planning to add to the Grand Prix pipeline system by constructing the Daytona NGL pipeline, which would have 210 miles of 30-inch-diameter pipeline to transport up to 550,000 BBL/d from the Permian and connect with an existing Grand Prix segment that runs to Targa's Mont Belvieu fractionator. Following the recent Grand Prix acquisition, Targa will fully own and operate the pipeline, which is expected to be in service by the end of 2024.

In its third-quarter earnings-related press release, the company said the plan to construct the Daytona pipeline was "supported by the growth in NGLs from Targa's underlying assets and future plant additions."

In February, Targa plans to kick off the addition of Train #9 at the Mont Belvieu fractionation plant, which would support the Grand Prix Pipeline and add 120,000 BBL/d of high-purity butane, propane and ethane capacity to the plant, for a total of 940,000 BBL/d.
