“The strategic value of these projects to our shippers is clear through the exercising of the options by our partners,” said Phillip Mezey, CEO of EPIC. “Both projects remain on schedule and are critical to the continued development of the Permian Basin and Eagle Ford Shale.”
“We are thrilled to have our strategic partners as equity owners in developing these critical infrastructure assets. We believe the alignment of interest created by these equity investments will continue to be mutually beneficial over the long term,” said Nate Walton, Partner and Co-Head of North American Private Equity at Ares Management Corporation (NYSE: ARES).
EPIC was formed in 2017 to build, own and operate midstream infrastructure in both the Permian and Eagle Ford Basins.
