REUTERS/Gary McWilliams/File Photo Acquire Licensing RightsNov 6 (Reuters) - U.S. pipeline operator Kinder Morgan (KMI.N) said on Monday it would acquire NextEra Energy Partners' (NEP.N) gas pipelines in South Texas for $1.82 billion. NextEra Energy Partners' (NEP) Texas natural gas pipeline portfolio, STX Midstream, primarily consists of seven pipelines which provide natural gas to Mexico and power producers and municipalities in South Texas. "Upon closing, the proceeds would be sufficient to pay off the outstanding project-related debt," NextEra Energy Partners' CEO John Ketchum said in a statement. The sale price represents an about 10 times multiple on the estimated calendar-year 2023 adjusted core profit for the Texas natural gas pipeline portfolio, NEP said.

REUTERS/Gary McWilliams/File Photo Acquire Licensing RightsCompanies Kinder Morgan Inc FollowOct 18 (Reuters) - Pipeline and terminal operator Kinder Morgan (KMI.N) on Wednesday posted lower-than-expected profit for the third quarter as higher interest expenses offset strength in its natural gas and products pipeline segment. Shares of Kinder Morgan were down 1.6% at $16.87 in after-market trade. Lower contribution from Kinder Morgan's carbon dioxide (CO2) transportation segment also pressured its quarterly earnings, hurt by weaker prices of natural gas liquids and CO2, lower volumes and higher power costs. The Houston-based firm's earnings from the CO2 segment dropped to $175 million in the July-September quarter, from $195 million last year.

Meanwhile, Kinder Morgan shut its Port Manatee, Port Sutton and Tampaplex terminals, which handle commodities such as fertilizers, scrap metal, pet coke and coal. "Our Orlando refined products facility remains operational at this time, but we are closely monitoring the storm’s progress to prepare for any impacts," Kinder Morgan said.

☆ Canada guarantees up to $2.2 billion in fresh loans to Trans Mountain expansion project

Companies Kinder Morgan Inc FollowAug 5 (Reuters) - A Canadian government agency has guaranteed fresh commercial loans of up to C$3 billion ($2.2 billion) to the controversial Trans Mountain pipeline expansion project that has suffered repeated cost overruns. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's Liberal government bought the Trans Mountain pipeline in 2018 from Kinder Morgan Inc (KMI.N) to ensure the expansion project got built and provided a C$10 billion loan guarantee to TMC. It is meant to unlock Asian markets for Canadian oil, which is mostly exported to the United States now. TMC had received a up to C$3 billion loan guarantee between late March and early May this year and had received a C$10 billion loan guarantee in 2022 from the federal government. Canada's finance ministry did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment on the fresh loan guarantee.

It is meant to unlock Asian markets for Canadian oil, which is mostly exported to the United States now. Critics have also slammed the ownership of a pipeline project by the Liberal government, which they argue runs counter to Trudeau's ambitious climate goals. TMC had received a up to C$3 billion loan guarantee between late March and early May this year and had received a C$10 billion loan guarantee in 2022 from the federal government. Canada's finance ministry did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment on the fresh loan guarantee. In June, a finance ministry spokesperson said the loan guarantee was "common practice" and did not reflect any new public spending.

Companies Kinder Morgan Inc FollowJuly 19 (Reuters) - Kinder Morgan (KMI.N) on Wednesday missed Wall Street estimates for second-quarter revenue as the pipeline operator transported lower volumes of gasoline and diesel through its network. Energy output has yet not reached pre-pandemic levels as companies have kept a tight rein on production, pressuring pipeline operators' transport volumes. While Kinder Morgan's volumes for gasoline and diesel fell in the reported quarter compared to the previous year, its total delivery volumes rose on higher natural gas volumes. The Houston, Texas-based firm posted revenue of $3.50 billion, compared with analysts' average estimate of $4.55 billion, according to Refinitiv data.

Companies Kinder Morgan Inc FollowJuly 19 (Reuters) - Pipeline and terminal operator Kinder Morgan (KMI.N) on Wednesday posted lower-than-expected second-quarter revenue, hurt by lower commodity prices. Kinder Morgan faced lower commodity prices, higher interest expense in the second quarter as well as higher sustaining capital expenditures versus the prior year period, President Kim Dang said. The Houston-based company said earnings from its products pipelines fell about 4.3% to $286 million, while earnings from the transportation of CO2 fell about 17.4% to $175 million, due to lower realized prices. Kinder Morgan's revenue fell about 32% to $3.50 billion in the quarter, and missed estimates of $4.55 billion, according to Refinitiv data.

☆ Union says Lyondell misled it about possible Houston refinery buyers
▼ + stars: | 2023-03-11 | by ( Erwin Seba | ) www.reuters.com time to read: +2 min

HOUSTON, March 11 (Reuters) - The United Steelworkers union (USW) said in a letter to members it was misled by Lyondell Basell Industries (LYB.N) about possible buyers for the company’s Houston refinery, which the company has set for permanent closure late this year. The letter was sent on Friday to members who work at the Lyondell refinery. According to the letter, the union said it would contact government officials about the would-be buyers of the refinery and take further actions involving union members in the future. Offers made on the refinery when Lyondell was weighing a possible sale in 2021 fell short of the refinery's value, he said. Sources familiar with the matter said Kinder Morgan Inc (KMI.N), which operates a terminal near the refinery, approached Lyondell about a possible sale.

More than 1.5 million homes and businesses lost power, oil refineries in Texas cut gasoline and diesel production on equipment failures, and heating and power prices surged on the losses. Oil and gas output from North Dakota to Texas suffered freeze-ins, cutting supplies. Freeze-ins - in which ice crystals halt oil and gas production - this week trimmed production in North Dakota's oilfields by 300,000 to 350,000 barrels per day, or a third of normal. Power prices on Texas's grid also spiked to $3,700 per megawatt hour, prompting generators to add more power to the grid before prices fell back as thermal and solar supplies came online. That is the biggest drop in output since the February 2021 freeze knocked out power for millions in Texas.
