Phillips 66 completes acquisition of EPIC NGL for $2.2 billion

The expansion project from 175 MBD to 225 MBD for the NGL pipeline is expected to be completed in the second quarter

Phillips 66 announced the completion of its previously announced acquisition of EPIC Y-Grade GP and EPIC Y-Grade LP which own various subsidiaries and long-haul natural gas liquids pipelines, fractionation facilities and distribution systems (EPIC NGL) for total cash consideration of approximately $2.2 billion.

“This transaction strengthens our position as a leading integrated downstream energy provider,” said Don Baldridge, Phillips 66 executive vice president of Midstream & Chemicals. “We are evolving our portfolio and enhancing our ability to provide seamless and efficient delivery of energy products. Phillips 66 will offer producers unparalleled flow assurance, while advancing a strategy that is expected to deliver attractive returns and create long-term value for our shareholders.”

The EPIC NGL business consists of two fractionators (170 MBD) near Corpus Christi, Texas, approximately 350 miles of purity distribution pipelines and an approximately 885-mile NGL pipeline (175 MBD) linking production supplies in the Delaware, Midland and Eagle Ford basins to fractionation complexes and the Phillips 66 Sweeny Hub.

The expansion project from 175 MBD to 225 MBD for the NGL pipeline is expected to be completed in the second quarter. A second expansion to increase capacity to 350 MBD has already been sanctioned with completion expected in the fourth quarter of 2026.

The acquired assets connect Permian production to Gulf Coast refiners, petrochemical companies and export markets, and are highly integrated with the Phillips 66 asset base.
