Enable Midstream Partners LP (ENBL) said May 1 it completed the $80 million acquisition of natural gas gathering assets in the Texas Panhandle from Monarch Natural Gas LLC.

The deal is an extension and expansion of Oklahoma City-based Enable's Anadarko Basin assets.

The 88 miles of recently built gathering pipeline and 5,000 horsepower of associated compression will provide gathering services to the producer drilling in Lipscomb and Hemphill counties, Texas, and other producers.
