DALLAS–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Silver Hill Energy Partners Holdings, LLC (“Silver Hill”), a privately held entity controlled by an affiliate of Kayne Anderson Capital Advisors, L.P. (“Kayne Anderson”) through its energy private equity practice, has agreed to sell its midstream assets to a subsidiary of Targa Resources Corp. (“Targa”) as part of a larger transaction. On January 23, 2017, Targa announced the acquisition of three separate midstream entities, including Outrigger Delaware Operating, LLC, a 50/50 joint venture between Silver Hill and Outrigger Energy LLC (“Outrigger”). The Silver Hill management team conceptualized and co-founded the joint venture with Outrigger in 2014 to build scalable gas gathering, gas processing and crude gathering infrastructure to support the development of Silver Hill’s upstream assets and surrounding third party producers in the Delaware Basin.
Kyle D. Miller, Silver Hill President & CEO, stated: “Silver Hill was able to utilize our unique understanding of the Delaware Basin, and more specifically our own assets, to capture incremental value from the success of our upstream development activity. We value our partnership with the Outrigger team as they did a great job of executing on our shared vision.”
“This transaction demonstrates the incremental value that we can realize by leveraging our upstream knowledge to identify attractive investment opportunities in the midstream space,” said Chuck Yates, Managing Partner of Kayne Anderson Energy Funds. “The Silver Hill management team did an incredible job of recognizing the value potential and forming a strategic partnership with Outrigger to seize the opportunity. This opportunistic partnership and the impressive performance of the Outrigger team led to a very good outcome for all involved.”
