Notably, the Dos Picos natural gas complex, owned by Pinnacle Midland, has a processing capacity of 220 million cubic feet per day (mmcfd). In addition, the complex boasts 80 miles of pipelines, making it a significant asset for natural gas processing and transportation.

The deal is anticipated to conclude by mid-2024.

Eni is a leading global integrated energy company with a prominent focus on liquefied natural gas businesses. As natural gas has a lesser carbon footprint compared with other fossil fuel, it will play an important role in the global energy transition process. Eni’s participation in the natural gas market will allow it capitalize on the mounting global demand in the future.
