Background

In April 2019, EagleClaw Midstream made a final investment decision to proceed with pipeline construction, designed to transport residue natural gas from the Delaware Basin in West Texas to the Waha hub. The Delaware Link Pipeline will originate at EagleClaw's three processing complexes. The 40-mile, 30-inch Delaware Link will originate at EagleClaw’s East Toyah, Pecos, and Pecos Bend natural gas processing complexes in Reeves County and will have transportation capacity of at least 1.2 Bcf/d.

In February 2022, EagleClaw was acquired by Altus Midstream to form Kinetik. The merged company is jointly owned by Blackstone Energy Partners, I Squared Capital, APA Corporation and more than 5% public shares. According to the 2023 quarterly report of Kinetik Holdings, the Delaware Link Gas Pipeline is under construction and is expected to complete construction by September 2023 and begin operations by October 2023.
