| Acquisitions, Divestitures and Other Transactions | Acquisitions, Divestitures and Other Transactions Acquisitions EPIC (Cactus III) On October 31, 2025, we purchased an aggregate 55% equity interest in EPIC Crude Holdings, LP (“EPIC Crude Holdings”), which owns the EPIC Crude Oil Pipeline (which we now refer to as our “Cactus III Pipeline”), from subsidiaries of Diamondback Energy, Inc. and Kinetik Holdings Inc., for approximately $1.568 billion, subject to certain adjustments and inclusive of $613 million of debt assumed. We also agreed to a potential earnout payment of $193 million contingent upon the formal sanctioning before the end of 2027 of one or more expansions of Cactus III Pipeline that in the aggregate will increase the capacity of the pipeline to at least 900,000 barrels per day. In a separate transaction, effective November 1, 2025, we acquired the remaining 45% equity interest in EPIC Crude Holdings from a portfolio company of Ares Private Equity funds for approximately $1.327 billion, subject to certain adjustments and inclusive of $501 million of debt assumed. We also agreed to a potential earnout payment to the seller of up to $157 million depending on the timing and amount of incremental expansion capacity up to 300,000 barrels per day in excess of 650,000 barrels per day that is formally sanctioned before the end of 2028. The aggregate cash consideration also includes closing cash and working capital of approximately $121 million. The estimated fair value of the aggregate earnout consideration recorded in connection with these transactions was approximately $115 million. The fair value of the aggregate earnout consideration was determined based on weighted-average probabilities of certain capacity expansion scenarios and the related timing thereof. Subsequent to these two transactions (collectively, the “EPIC acquisition”), we now own 100% of EPIC Crude Holdings and are the operator of record for the Cactus III Pipeline, which provides long-haul crude oil takeaway from the Permian and Eagle Ford basins to the Gulf Coast market at Corpus Christi. We believe this acquisition is highly synergistic and strategic to our existing footprint. The EPIC acquisition will be accounted for in our Crude Oil segment. The EPIC acquisition was accounted for as a business combination using the acquisition method of accounting. The following table presents the fair value of the consideration in the EPIC acquisition (in millions):
In accordance with applicable accounting guidance, the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed following the acquisition was utilized as the consideration transferred for the purchase price allocation. The determination of the fair value of the assets and liabilities assumed was estimated in accordance with applicable accounting guidance. The analysis was performed based on estimates that are reflective of market participant assumptions. The following table reflects our preliminary determination of the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in connection with the EPIC acquisition (in millions):
The acquired Property and equipment, net is primarily comprised of pipelines, equipment and rights of way. The intangible assets recognized in this transaction relate to long-term contracts which contain rates that are favorable to current market conditions. We utilized widely accepted valuation techniques for these types of assets that represent Level 3 measurements in the fair value hierarchy. A Level 3 measurement is one for which there are no observable market inputs. The fair value of acquired pipelines and equipment was determined using a cost approach with an assumption for replacement cost. The fair value of acquired rights of way was determined using a market approach for similar assets. The fair value of the favorable contracts was determined using an income approach that considers the projected volumes to be transported over the life of the contracts, assumptions for current market rates, and a discount rate that a theoretical market participant would assign to the intangible asset of approximately 17%. The useful lives of the favorable contracts range from 5 to 10 years, and amortization of these intangible assets is recognized using the declining balance method of amortization. Amortization expense was approximately $15 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, and the future amortization expense through 2030 is estimated as follows (in millions):
In connection with the EPIC acquisition, we assumed the EPIC credit agreement, which provided for a $1.2 billion term loan (the “EPIC term loan”) and a $125 million revolving credit facility (the “EPIC revolver”). On December 1, 2025, we repaid the $1.1 billion of borrowings outstanding under the EPIC term loan and terminated the EPIC credit agreement. See Note 11 for additional information regarding the EPIC credit agreement. The EPIC term loan was valued at par based on the expectation of terminating the loan at such value. During the year ended December 31, 2025, we incurred approximately $9 million of transaction-related costs associated with the EPIC acquisition. Such costs are reflected as a component of “General and administrative expenses” on our Consolidated Statements of Operations. Pro Forma and Other Financial Results Financial results from the EPIC acquisition have been included in our results of operations within the Crude Oil segment since the date of the acquisition. The EPIC revenues and earnings generated during the period since the acquisition date were not material for disclosure purposes. The following selected unaudited pro forma results of operations were derived from the historical financial statements of EPIC Crude Holdings, and gives effect to the EPIC acquisition as if it had occurred on January 1, 2024. The pro forma results of operations do not include any cost savings or other synergies that may result from the EPIC acquisition or any estimated costs that have been or will be incurred by us to integrate the assets acquired. These results are not necessarily indicative of the results that might have actually occurred had the acquisition taken place on January 1, 2024; furthermore, this financial information is not intended to be a projection of future results (in millions, except per unit amounts):
Ironwood Midstream On January 31, 2025, we acquired Ironwood Midstream Energy Partners II, LLC (“Ironwood Midstream”), which owns a gathering system in the Eagle Ford Basin, for approximately $481 million in cash from EnCap Flatrock Midstream. The Ironwood Midstream acquisition is accounted for in our Crude Oil segment. In January 2025, in a separate transaction, we also repurchased from EnCap Flatrock Midstream, a portion of our outstanding Series A preferred units. EnCap Flatrock Midstream is affiliated with EnCap Investments, L.P, an entity that is associated with a member of the board of directors of PAGP GP. See Note 12 for additional information. The Ironwood Midstream acquisition was accounted for as a business combination using the acquisition method of accounting. In accordance with applicable accounting guidance, the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed following the acquisition was utilized as the consideration transferred for the purchase price allocation. The determination of the fair value of the assets and liabilities assumed was estimated in accordance with applicable accounting guidance. The analysis was performed based on estimates that are reflective of market participant assumptions. The following table reflects our preliminary determination of the fair value of the Ironwood Midstream acquisition assets and liabilities (in millions):
The fair value of the tangible asset is a Level 3 measurement in the fair value hierarchy and was determined using a cost approach for tangible assets, with an assumption for replacement cost, and a market approach for rights-of-way. A Level 3 measurement is one for which there are no observable market inputs. The fair value of the intangible assets is also a Level 3 measurement in the fair value hierarchy and was determined by applying a discounted cash flow approach. Such approach utilized a discount rate of 18%, based on our estimate of the risk that a theoretical market participant would assign to the intangible asset. The projection of future crude oil volumes transported and the estimated tariff rates for transportation were also key assumptions in the valuation of the intangible assets. Projected future volumes and estimated tariff rates were based on current contracts in place with assumptions for forecasted rate increases and contract renewals. The fair value of intangible asset is comprised of customer relationships that will be amortized over their useful lives, which have a remaining weighted average life of approximately 16 years. The value assigned to such intangible asset will be amortized to earnings under the declining balance method of amortization. Amortization expense was approximately $4 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, and the future amortization expense through 2030 is estimated as follows (in millions):
Pro forma financial information assuming the acquisition had occurred as of the beginning of the calendar year prior to the year of the acquisition, as well as the revenues and earnings generated during the period since the acquisition date, were not material for disclosure purposes. Rattler Permian Transaction In the third quarter of 2023, we completed a transaction with Rattler Midstream Operating LLC (“Rattler”) pursuant to which the Permian JV acquired the remaining 43% interest in OMOG JV Holdings LLC (“OMOG”) and certain gathering assets in the Southern Delaware basin. The transaction had an aggregate purchase price of $294 million ($191 million net to our 65% interest in the Permian JV). As a result of the transaction, the Permian JV now owns 100% of OMOG and its subsidiaries and such entities are reflected as consolidated subsidiaries in our Consolidated Financial Statements. Prior to this transaction, the Permian JV’s 57% interest in OMOG was accounted for as an equity method investment. The transaction was accounted for as a business combination using the acquisition method of accounting. In accordance with applicable accounting guidance, the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed following the transaction was utilized as the consideration transferred for the purchase price allocation. As a result of us obtaining control over OMOG, the Permian JV’s previously-held 57% interest in OMOG was remeasured to its fair value of $239 million based upon a valuation of the acquired business, as of the date of acquisition. We considered multiple factors in determining the fair value of the previously-held equity method investment, including, (i) the price negotiated with Rattler for its 43% interest in OMOG and (ii) a discounted cash flow approach. The discounted cash flow approach utilized a discount rate of approximately 11%, based on the estimate of the risk that a theoretical market participant would assign to the business. The remeasurement of the Permian JV’s investment in OMOG to fair value resulted in a gain of $29 million. This gain has been recognized in the line item “” on our Consolidated Statement of Operations. The determination of the fair value of the assets and liabilities assumed was estimated in accordance with applicable accounting guidance. The analysis was performed based on estimates that are reflective of market participant assumptions. While the purchase price for the transaction was $294 million, all of the OMOG assets and liabilities were remeasured to fair value and therefore, the fair value of the assets and liabilities that are now consolidated on the balance sheet as a result of this transaction is $532 million. The following table reflects our determination of the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in connection with the transaction (in millions):
The fair value of the tangible assets is a Level 3 measurement in the fair value hierarchy and was determined using the cost approach based on costs incurred on similar recent construction projects. The fair value of the intangible assets is also a Level 3 measurement in the fair value hierarchy and was determined by applying a discounted cash flow approach. Such approach utilized discount rates varying from approximately 21% to 23%, based on our estimate of the risk that a theoretical market participant would assign to the respective intangible assets. The projection of future crude oil volumes transported and the estimated tariff rates for transportation were also key assumptions in the valuation of the intangible assets. Projected future volumes and estimated tariff rates were based on current contracts in place with assumptions for forecasted rate increases and contract renewals. The fair value of intangible assets is comprised of customer relationships that will be amortized over their useful lives, which have a remaining weighted average life of approximately 10 years. The value assigned to such intangible assets will be amortized to earnings under the declining balance method of amortization. Amortization expense was approximately $10 million, $8 million and $4 million during the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and the future amortization expense through 2028 is estimated as follows (in millions):
Pro forma financial information assuming the acquisition had occurred as of the beginning of the calendar year prior to the year of the acquisition, as well as the revenues and earnings generated during the period since the acquisition date, were not material for disclosure purposes. Other Acquisitions 2025 During the year ended December 31, 2025, we completed the following additional acquisitions: •the acquisition in July 2025 of an additional 20% interest in BridgeTex Pipeline Company, LLC (“BridgeTex”) for approximately $180 million, increasing our ownership interest from 20% to 40%. See Note 9 for additional information about our investments in unconsolidated entities. •the acquisition during the second quarter of 2025 of Black Knight Midstream, LLC (“Black Knight Midstream”), which owns a crude oil gathering business in the Permian Basin, for $59 million (approximately $38 million net to our 65% interest in the Permian JV), subject to certain adjustments. The Black Knight Midstream assets are accounted for in our Crude Oil segment. •the acquisition in February 2025, through a non-monetary transaction, of the remaining 50% interest in Cheyenne Pipeline LLC (“Cheyenne”) in exchange for the termination of certain obligations. As a result of this transaction, we now own 100% of Cheyenne and reflect such entity as a consolidated subsidiary in our Consolidated Financial Statements within our Crude Oil segment. The transaction resulted in a net gain of approximately $31 million, which represents the difference between the fair value of the entity and the historical book value of our investment. This gain is reflected in “Gain on investments in unconsolidated entities, net” on our Consolidated Statement of Operations. •the acquisition in January 2025 of EMG Medallion 2 Holdings, LLC and its subsidiaries, which own a crude oil gathering and transportation business in the Delaware Basin, for $163 million (approximately $106 million net to our 65% interest in the Permian JV), subject to certain adjustments. A cash deposit of approximately $16 million was paid upon signing in December 2024. EMG Medallion 2 Holdings was a portfolio company of The Energy & Minerals Group (“EMG”), which is associated with a member of the board of directors of PAGP GP. 2024 During the year ended December 31, 2024, we also completed the following acquisitions: •the acquisition in December 2024 of the remaining 50% interest in Midway Pipeline LLC (“Midway”) for approximately $90 million. As a result of this transaction, we now own 100% of Midway and reflect such entity as a consolidated subsidiary in our Consolidated Financial Statements. The remeasurement of our previously-held investment in Midway to fair value resulted in a gain of approximately $15 million. This gain is reflected in “” on our Consolidated Statement of Operations. •the acquisition of additional interests in certain unconsolidated entities, including (i) the acquisition in August 2024 of an additional approximate 0.67% interest in Wink to Webster Pipeline LLC (increasing our ownership interest from 16% to 17%) for $20 million and (ii) the acquisition in March 2024 of an additional 10% interest in Saddlehorn Pipeline Company, LLC (increasing our ownership interest from 30% to 40%) for $91 million. See Note 9 for additional information about our investments in unconsolidated entities. •the acquisition in the second and third quarters of 2024 of pipeline and terminal assets within our asset footprint for approximately $32 million. 2023 In November 2023, we acquired a crude oil gathering system in the Northern Delaware Basin from a subsidiary of LM Energy Partners for approximately $135 million (approximately $88 million net to our 65% interest in the Permian JV), subject to certain adjustments. This transaction was accounted for as an asset acquisition since substantially all of the value of the assets acquired was concentrated in a single asset. Divestitures During the year ended December 31, 2025, we received cash proceeds of $81 million, primarily from the sale of non-core assets, which were previously included in our Crude Oil segment. We recognized gains of approximately $44 million related to these asset sales, which is included in “(Gains)/losses on asset sales, asset impairments and other, net” on our Consolidated Statement of Operations. In February 2023, we sold our 21% non-operated/undivided joint interest in the Keyera Fort Saskatchewan facility to Keyera Corporation for approximately $270 million. As of December 31, 2022, we classified the assets related to this transaction (primarily “Property and equipment” in our NGL segment), valued at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell, of approximately $130 million as assets held for sale on our Consolidated Balance Sheet (in “Other current assets”). At the time of this transaction, we concluded that this disposition did not meet the criteria for discontinued operations. Upon the sale of this facility, we recognized a gain of approximately $140 million which is included in “(Gains)/losses on asset sales, asset impairments and other, net” on our Consolidated Statement of Operations.
