HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

The gathering and processing system is backed by long-term contracts with commitments from major customers in the basin.
“We are pleased to have completed this strategic acquisition and to start integrating these assets with our existing Hiland gas footprint,” said KMI Natural Gas Midstream President Tom Dender. “This acquisition expands our transportation and processing services, allowing us to meet the growing needs of our customers.”
