HOUSTON–(BUSINESS WIRE)–H2O Midstream, LLC (“H2O Midstream”) and EIV Capital, LLC (“EIV Capital”) are pleased to announce the execution of definitive agreements for the sale of H2O Midstream to Delek Logistics Partners, LP (NYSE: DKL) (“Delek Logistics”). H2O Midstream provides gathering, transportation, recycling, storage, and disposal solutions for produced water in Howard County, Texas.
“We’d like to thank Jim Summers and the entire H2O Midstream team for their hard work and dedication.”
“The acquisition of H2O Midstream by Delek Logistics creates a fully integrated multi-commodity midstream platform in the Midland Basin and represents the realization of our vision that produced water can be managed as a true midstream business,” said Jim Summers, co-founder and CEO of H2O Midstream. “This successful eight-year venture was only possible thanks to the incredible support and partnership of EIV Capital and the professionalism and dedication of all H2O Midstream management and employees, who represent some of the best this industry has to offer. I am excited to welcome this new era for oilfield water management under the capable leadership of Delek Logistics.”
