NuStar Energy (NS) to Offload Texas City Terminals for $106M
Read MoreHide Full Article
NuStar Energy, L.P. announced the divestment of its Texas City Terminals to Houston's BWC Terminals for $106 million. As part of this transaction, the partnership agreed to sell its 80 tanks in its two Texas City terminals. The deal is expected to end in the fourth quarter of 2020 upon completion of customary closing conditions.
NuStar Energy intends to use the sale proceeds to mitigate its debt obligations and self-finance its capital expenditures as a means to its strategic action to adapt to the prevalent situations of the oil and gas industry. Even though the partnership accepts this as a difficult decision, it expects the employees of the to-be-sold facilities to access a fast-growing entity with a business model that is more operationally synergistic. This, in turn, will create ample possibilities of operational growth and also offer the extended staff a steady path of progress.
The terminal in Texas City has a storage capacity of worth 2.6 million barrels of blend stocks, chemicals, vacuum gas oil and refined petroleum products. Per Brad Barron, president/CEO at NuStar Energy, despite being a valuable resource with notable activities and efficient laborers, the positioning of the Texas City Terminal and its unique configuration failed to synchronize with NuStar Energy’s strategies for other Gulf Coast assets. Therefore, the best option to expedite the development process of these facilities and NuStar is by putting the company along with its assets under another organization’s control that can utilize the terminals’ petrochemical and petroleum capabilities.
As per BWC, which stores bulk liquids like hydrocarbons, chemicals and agricultural products, the Texas City units will be a natural fit to its assets.
