The acquisition of the assets is supported by funds from US-based private equity firm EnCap Flatrock Midstream, according to the sources.

In April 2022, it was reported that Midcoast was considering the sale of its East Texas pipeline assets for as much as $2bn.

At that time, the firm was reviewing the sale of its assets located in the East Texas portion of the Haynesville formation, that also stretches into Louisiana.
