Great Salt Plains Midstream Acquires Thunderbird Midstream Assets in Oklahoma STACK Play

OKLAHOMA CITY

  • Assets include:

    • 20 MMcf/d cryogenic natural gas plant that provides immediate
      processing services to GSPM customers
    • 34 mile natural gas pipeline gathering system
  • Capital partners for the deal are MVP Holdings, and funds
    affiliated with Energy Spectrum Capital and Apollo Global Management,
    LLC

Great Salt Plains Midstream Holdings, LLC (“GSPM”) recently closed on
its acquisition of Thunderbird Midstream LLC. Both firms have
headquarters in Oklahoma City.

The acquired assets include the Thunderbird Midstream cryogenic natural
gas plant with 20 million cubic feet of natural gas per day (MMcf/d)
processing capacity. The plant began operations in 2016 and is located
on more than 40 acres to allow for expansion to meet increased demand.
The Thunderbird assets provide immediate processing capacity with
additional firm market outlets for residue and natural gas liquids
(“NGLs”).

The transaction includes a 34 mile natural gas pipeline gathering
system. The acquisition continues the buildout of GSPM’s infrastructure
in the prolific STACK play of northwestern Oklahoma.

“We are adding to our system to serve multiple producers in the
northwest portion of the STACK,” said Rusty Rains, CEO of GSPM. “We are
now offering immediate natural gas processing services. The additional
gathering pipeline from Thunderbird extends our system west into Major
County, providing producers with low pressure gathering and additional
residue market optionality.”

GSPM also has a state-of-the-art cryogenic processing facility under
construction in Major County, Oklahoma, called the Silver Lake Plant,
which will have an initial capacity to process up to 70 MMcf/d, with
expansion capacity of up to 220 MMcf/d. Additionally, GSPM is
constructing over 90 miles of natural gas gathering pipelines and
multiple compressor stations and expects the new facilities to be in
service in July 2018.
