MPLX signs agreement to acquire Northwind Delaware for $2.37bn
MPLX has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Northwind Delaware Holdings from Five Point Infrastructure for a cash consideration of $2.37bn. The acquisition is poised to be immediately accretive to MPLX's distributable cash flow and represents a sevenfold multiple based on the anticipated earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) for 2027. The deal, which MPLX plans to fund through debt, also includes a mid-teen unlevered return, inclusive of the capital spend for ongoing expansion activities. Northwind Delaware, established by Five Point in 2022, addresses a critical challenge in the Northern Delaware Basin by providing essential sour gas services. The lack of capacity for treating sour natural gas, acid-gas injection and sequestration has historically restricted upstream development in the region. Northwind's operations also align with customer sustainability goals by sequestering and capturing CO₂ from the natural gas stream. Currently, Northwind's infrastructure encompasses more than 200,000 dedicated acres, over 200 miles of pipelines, and two carbon sequestration and acid gas injection wells with 20 million cubic feet per day (mcf/d) of combined capacity. A third permitted well, set to be completed in 2026, will increase total capacity to 37mcf/d. The system's sour gas treating capacity is expected to rise from 150mcf/d to 440mcf/d by the second half of 2026, backed by minimum volume commitments from leading regional producers. The acquisition will enable MPLX to provide prompt sour gas solutions in south-east New Mexico, US, offering access to up to 400mcf/d of incremental gas for processing and up to 70,000 barrels per day (bpd) of new natural gas liquids volumes. This move is set to expedite MPLX's growth opportunities in the region. Five Point Infrastructure CEO and managing partner David Capobianco said: 'This transaction is a clear validation of our investment thesis regarding the need for critical infrastructure development across the nation's most productive energy basins.' Anticipated to close in the third quarter of this year, the transaction is subject to customary closing conditions, encompassing antitrust clearance under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Act of 1976. Piper Sandler & Co and Latham & Watkins advised the seller on financial and legal matters, respectively. Earlier in the year, Five Point Infrastructure was in talks over the potential sale of the Permian Basin gas infrastructure operator Northwind Midstream.

Bar named in honour of Everton legends could lose licence before it even opens
A proposed fan zone opposite Everton's new stadium that was built without planning permission could be prevented from serving alcohol as it faces being stripped of its premises licence. It was revealed last week how an investigation had been launched into a development on Regent Road after health and safety concerns were raised about the construction of a marquee across from the stadium. A stop order was issued to the company behind the plans – Mersey View Leisure Ltd – after Liverpool Council's building control team visited the site after work began. This was after Mersey View was granted a premises licence for the location in February. The venue is to be named The Holy Trinity in tribute to the Blues' legendary midfield trio of Alan Ball, Howard Kendall, and Colin Harvey. However, a notice has been issued by the city council that it now intends to look again at the terms it granted just six months ago. READ MORE: Rape reported at Adelphi Hotel READ MORE: 'I used to give to foodbanks but I hate them and you should too' The plans are from a private company and are in no way linked to Everton Football Club. The ECHO understands none of the families were consulted on the naming of the venue or are connected with it in any way. Days before the construction was ordered to stop, a formal planning bid was launched for the venue. Should it be permitted to go ahead, it is expected the site could accommodate 1,500 Toffees' fans. It is bounded on the east side by Regent Road, to the south and west sides by Fulton Street and to the north side by Boundary Street. In February, the local authority's licensing and gambling sub-committee granted permission for the venue to operate its alcohol sales from 9am to midnight daily. The city's building control department has now requested that it be reviewed under the grounds of public safety according to a notice made public by Liverpool Council. It has already launched an investigation into the development and its lack of requisite permission. According to planning documents, the development will consist of a marquee of simple rectangular design and its main use will be to complement the new Everton stadium for servicing the expected number of spectators. It is anticipated to use the entire space, leased to the applicant by Terry's Timber. Entrance to the site would be via Boundary Street on a tarmac road surface along Fulton Street, ramped access will be provided to all entrances to the marquee and toilet facilities. All bars will be provided with a stepped area to the bar for access for customers in wheelchairs. Such is the nature of the stadium as a major landmark development in the north of the city, Mersey View's preparations for the scheme have gone beyond a standard planning application as documents revealed. They said: 'It is accepted that the development of the new Everton Stadium alone will attract a possible increase in crime and anti-social behaviour, therefore additional attractions will similarly add to that possibility. 'It was also acknowledged that the new Everton Stadium could become a target for terrorism, and therefore consultation took place on steps to respond to any perceived terrorist attack by both the developer and Merseyside Police. Those steps have been agreed and will be implemented by both parties.' A second application has been lodged by Mersey View director Gary Hincks to convert a disused warehouse on Fulton Street into a food and drink space to occupy almost 500 people. If granted, it could create 20 new jobs and operate until 11.30pm daily. A date is yet to be confirmed for either of the proposals to go before planning officials. A spokesperson for Mersey View Limited said the business declined to comment on the investigation.
