Read MoreHide Full Article
Phillips 66 (PSX - Free Report) entered an agreement to increase its stake in DCP Midstream LP , one of Colorado’s largest oil and gas businesses.
Phillips 66 will purchase all of the public common units of DCP Midstream for $3.8 billion. The acquisition will double its stake in DCP Midstream to 86.8%.
Phillips 66 focuses more on midstream, renewables and chemical operations, making its business model more stable. Last month, it pledged to boost spending on new projects by 6% in 2023, with a primary focus on strengthening its pipeline businesses.
DCP Midstream’s assets gather, process and transport natural gas and natural gas liquids from the major U.S. shale plays, including the Permian Basin, Eagle Ford, the Ardmore and Anadarko Basins in Oklahoma, and the Denver-Julesburg Basin in Colorado.

Phillips 66 plans to fund the deal through a combination of cash and debt. The deal, subject to closing conditions, is expected to complete in the second quarter of 2023.
