Cureton Midstream Announces Sale to Williams
DENVER, Nov. 2, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Tailwater Capital LLC ("Tailwater"), an energy and growth infrastructure private equity firm, and a fund managed by the Private Equity Group of Ares Management ("Ares"), a leading global alternative investment manager, today announced that they have signed definitive agreements to sell Cureton Front Range LLC ("Cureton" or the "Company") to Williams Field Services Group, LLC ("Williams"), a subsidiary of The Williams Companies, Inc. (NYSE: WMB), with an expected close in December 2023, subject to regulatory approvals.
"This transaction represents yet another step forward for our team and positions Cureton for its next chapter of growth while holding true to our commitment to deliver the highest quality of service to our customers and communities in which we operate," said Charlie Beecherl, President and Chief Executive Officer of Cureton. "I want to express profound gratitude to our exceptional team, whose remarkable work ethic, shared values, and commitment to our company's culture were pivotal in driving the successful sale of our business. We are also thankful for Tailwater's and Ares' steadfast support as we navigated a constantly evolving market landscape. As we look to the future, we are confident our assets remain in capable hands with Williams and are poised for an exciting trajectory of growth in combination with Williams' existing asset base. Finally, I want to thank our customers who have been incredible partners these past six years, we appreciate your support."
Tailwater and Ares initially invested in Cureton in 2017 to pursue an anchored greenfield midstream strategy in the DJ Basin in Colorado. Cureton's initial project started with an acreage dedication from a single private producer and culminated in the successful development of a premier multi-customer midstream gathering and processing platform. Cureton's asset base now consists of over 260 miles of low and high pressure pipelines, 109 MMcf/d of natural gas processing capacity, 64,000 horsepower of compression, and is underpinned by long-term contracts from blue-chip operators covering more than 200,000 dedicated acres and over two million acres of AMIs.
"We commend the Cureton team for the success they have demonstrated over the course of our partnership," said Edward Herring, Co-Founder and Managing Partner of Tailwater Capital. "Cureton has effectively expanded its presence in the oil-abundant rural landscape of the DJ Basin, emerging as a market leader thanks to its team's substantial experience and strategic partnerships with oil and gas producers."
"Cureton has continued to strategically enhance its operations, create a capital-efficient business, and demonstrate unwavering dedication to its customers, communities, and people," said David Cecere, Partner of Tailwater Capital. "Given the continued need for scale in the midstream sector, we believe it is an optimal time to monetize the business and are excited to provide another strong return for our investors."
"We are very proud of the many accomplishments that the Cureton team has achieved throughout our partnership," said Robert Kimmel, Partner in the Ares Private Equity Group. "We believe that the company remains well positioned and we wish Williams every success in shepherding this next phase of Cureton's growth."
