Targa sells stake in GCX pipe
US Midstream Targa Resources, one of the largest infrastructure companies delivering natural gas and natural gas liquids in the US, said February 3 it had sold its 25% equity interest in the Gulf Coast Express Pipeline (GCX) for $857mn.
The interest was held by Targa’s wholly-owned subsidiary, which had initially been part of an agreement with Stonepeak Partners investment firm to help finance the development costs of GCX in 2018. Both Stonepeak and Targa expressed intentions to exit the agreement in 2021.
