Phillips 66 Sells 25% Stake in REX Pipeline to Tallgrass
Phillips 66, a Houston-based multinational energy company, is selling its 25% non-operated common equity interest in Rockies Express Pipeline LLC (REX) to Tallgrass Energy, LP (TGE), for an enterprise value of approximately $1.275 billion.
TGE, the current operator, will own 100% of REX’s common equity interest post-transaction. Phillips 66 will receive $685 million in pre-tax cash proceeds after adjustments for its share of REX’s debt and preferred equity balances. REX is a major 1,714-mile natural gas pipeline with a capacity of over 5 billion cubic feet per day. The transaction is set to close today.
“This sale is an important step in our commitment to deliver over $3 billion in asset divestitures,” said Mark Lashier, chairman and CEO of Phillips 66. “We are committed to managing our portfolio and monetizing assets that no longer fit our long-term strategy.” (Photo: Shutterstock)
