Nuevo Midstream Dos Will Buy Republic Midstream

Nuevo
Midstream Dos, LLC (“Nuevo Dos”) announced today it has entered into
a definitive agreement with an affiliate of ArcLight Capital Partners
(“ArcLight”) to purchase Republic
Midstream, LLC (“Republic Midstream”). Republic Midstream owns and
operates a crude oil gathering, storage and intermediate transportation
system in the Eagle Ford Shale. The transaction is expected to close
early in the second quarter of 2019. Nuevo Dos is backed by EnCap
Flatrock Midstream.

Nuevo Dos plans to expand the system, which currently consists of
approximately 100 miles of gathering pipeline that feeds a central
delivery point (“CDP”) with 300,000 barrels of crude oil storage and a
six-bay truck station. The system also includes an approximately 26-mile
intermediate pipeline that moves volumes from the CDP to the Kinder
Morgan Crude and Condensate Pipeline (“KMCC”) and the Eagle Ford Crude
Oil Pipeline System, which is owned and operated by Enterprise. The
Kinder Morgan and Enterprise pipelines deliver crude and condensate to
multiple terminals with access to refineries, petrochemical plants and
export terminals on the Texas Gulf Coast.

From Nuevo Midstream Dos
“We are very excited about this
acquisition and the opportunity to expand the footprint and service
offerings of the Republic system. We really like these assets and their
location within the Eagle Ford,” said Nuevo Dos President & CEO Randy
Ziebarth. “The Eagle Ford is experiencing a resurgence and is advantaged
by its proximity to the Gulf. Nuevo Dos looks forward to helping
producers fully participate in moving crude and condensate to market.”

From EnCap Flatrock Midstream
“We have been partnering with
the Nuevo team since 2011,” said EnCap Flatrock Vice President Zach
Kayem, a member of the Nuevo Dos board of directors. “This is a team
with a very successful track record of acquiring a system and developing
its potential, as it did in the Permian. We’re looking forward to
assisting the Nuevo Dos team with the acquisition and expansion of
Republic’s Eagle Ford system.”
