About the Summit
The midstream gas asset acquisition & divestiture market continues to reflect its strong fundamentals, despite a difficult economy. The nation’s energy infrastructure relies heavily on natural gas for heating and power generation. Growing demand for natural gas is forecast through the year 2030 by the EIA. The shifting geography and demand & supply offer up new opportunities to build strong midstream portfolios for players who are properly positioned.
The midstream market, however, is not without its share of challenges. Asset purchasers now find themselves in a market where credit has tightened. Deals that recently would have been easily funded are now being scrutinized by lenders to the highest standards. Acquirers must find innovative ways to fund transactions in order to grow portfolios and to satisfy their investors.
The annual Midstream Gas Assets Acquisition & Divestiture Summit will bring together midstream market players from across the industry to discuss doing deals in today’s climate. Asset buyers and sellers from MLPs and natural gas corporations will join lenders, private equity sponsors, investment bankers and others to discuss the best practices for the current environment. Attendees will benefit by hearing directly from players who continue to initiate and close deals, despite the difficult market. This remarkable event will help you build the relationships that will get your deals done.
