As part of the deal signed earlier, DTE has acquired 100% interest in the Appalachia gathering system (AGS) located in Pennsylvania and West Virginia as well as 40% stake in Stonewall gas gathering (SGG) in West Virginia from M3 Midstream.
The firm also acquired 15% stake in the SGG from Vega Energy Partners.
DTE Energy chairman and CEO Gerry Anderson said: "This completed acquisition is a great addition to our portfolio and supports both our strategy in this segment and our drive to continue to grow and earn strong returns for shareholders.”

Anderson added: “Energy companies in the Midwest, including DTE, are in the process of transitioning a good portion of their electrical generation capacity from coal to natural gas.”
The acquisition is expected to help the company move toward a lower-carbon future.
DTE said that the assets will provide improved economics supported by long term contracts and high quality reserves while complementing existing gas midstream business.
