THE WOODLANDS, Texas, Jan. 10, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Navitas Midstream Partners Holdings, LLC ("Navitas"), a producer-focused midstream company, today announced the sale of 100% of its interests in Navitas Midstream Partners, LLC to an affiliate of Enterprise Products Partners L.P.

We would like to thank our customers for trusting Navitas to develop a system that would meet the needs of their rapid volume growth, and we know they will be in good hands with a company the scale of Enterprise," said R. Bruce Northcutt, CEO of Navitas.

"I am proud of the dedication and hard work of our employees over the past seven years. I would also like to thank Warburg Pincus for their close partnership and support through some of the toughest times seen in the energy industry in the last century," R. Bruce Northcutt added.

"We are incredibly proud to have supported Navitas through a transformative period of growth. Over the course of our partnership, Navitas added approximately 750 miles of new pipeline and over 1 Bcf/d of new processing capacity in the core of the Midland Basin during a difficult time for the industry," said Peter Kagan, Managing Director, Warburg Pincus.

"This transaction is one of the largest acquisitions of a private gas gathering and processing business and is a fantastic outcome for all parties involved. We thank Bruce, Bryan, Jim and the entire Navitas team," added John Rowan, Managing Director, Warburg Pincus.
