Delphi Energy Corp. (DEE:TSX) announced in a news release it agreed to sell and permanently assign a portion of its excess service on the Alliance Pipeline for $11.9 million. The transaction is expected to close on or around Sept. 3, 2019.
The asset Delphi is divesting constitutes about 35%, or 16 million cubic feet per day (16 MMcf/day), of its service to Chicago. Once the deal closes, the net proceeds and reduction in Delphi's outstanding letters of credit related to Alliance will boost the company's liquidity by about $13.3 million.
"The transaction more closely aligns the future natural gas transportation needs of the company with its natural gas production growth projections, given the increased focus on the ultra-rich condensate product mix being developed in West Bigstone," the release noted.
After the transaction, Delphi will have about 29.8 MMcf/day of firm service and 7.5 MMcf/day of priority interruptible service on the Alliance Pipeline system along with roughly 22 MMcf/day of firm service on the NGTL system.
