Noble Midstream executes lease for Energy Transfer’s Wattenberg Oil Trunkline
The partnership has concurrently executed a capacity lease with an Energy Transfer subsidiary for capacity on Energy Transfer’s Wattenberg Oil Trunkline (WOT).
The lease will allow Noble Midstream to use a substantial part of the WOT pipeline’s capacity through 2031.
The WOT pipeline ends at Platteville, Colorado, where the partnership has existing infrastructure and storage which are connected to four major long-haul pipelines in the DJ Basin.
Noble Midstream Partners business and corporate development vice president John Reuwer said: “This important transaction marks the first business development agreement with Chevron as well as a new commercial partnership with a key midstream provider in the DJ Basin.
“The WOT capacity lease provides both operational support and value for Chevron and the Partnership and gives Noble Midstream the ability to add incremental third-party business and further bolster our strong presence in the DJ Basin.”
