Kinetik Completes Acquisition of Durango Midstream’s New Mexico Gathering and Processing System

Kinetik Holdings Inc. (NYSE: KNTK) (“Kinetik” or the “Company”) today completed its previously announced acquisition of Durango Permian LLC (“Durango”), a robust platform with exciting potential in the Northern Delaware Basin.

Kinetik funded the cash consideration of the Durango acquisition with cash proceeds from the divestiture of its 16% equity interest in Gulf Coast Express pipeline (“GCX”), which was completed on June 4, 2024.

As a result of the acquisition, Kinetik has significantly enhanced its overall Delaware Basin wide footprint. Taken together, the GCX divestiture and Durango acquisition are immediately deleveraging with Kinetik’s leverage ratio¹ at 3.4 times following the closing.

Kinetik will update its 2024 Guidance with its second quarter 2024 financial results release.
