Matador (MTDR) is set to contribute its Pronto Midstream subsidiary to San Mateo Midstream, a joint venture with Five Point Energy, in a strategic move valued at approximately $600 million. The transaction involves Pronto's 45-mile natural gas gathering network in New Mexico and San Mateo's 140-mile natural gas gathering and processing assets in Texas. TD Cowen notes that the market currently undervalues these midstream assets.
Upon closing, Matador will receive around $220 million in cash from Five Point, which the company plans to use for debt reduction. The deal includes agreements for sour gas treatment in Lea County, with Pronto set to deliver sour gas to Northwind Midstream, a Five Point affiliate. TD Cowen highlighted the transaction's attractiveness, estimating a 2.4x return on invested capital and a 9x EBITDA multiple. The deal is expected to be completed before the end of the year.
HOUSTON, Dec 5 (Reuters) - Oil prices fell on Thursday as investors weighed an ample supply outlook for next year against OPEC+ delaying its planned output increase by three months to April 2025.
Brent crude settled down 22 cents, or 0.3%, at $72.09 a barrel, while U.S. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) settled down 24 cents, or 0.35%, at $68.30 a barrel.
OPEC+, the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries plus allies including Russia, had been planning to start unwinding cuts from October 2024, but slowing global demand and booming production outside of the group forced it to postpone the plans on several occasions.
Bitcoin’s rise to $100,000 signals its now-undeniable status in the global economic system. The virtual currency has become a staple of financial markets, embraced by Wall Street giants and amateur investors alike. Its surge also caps an astonishing turnaround after its price dropped below $17,000 in 2022, as the collapse of the FTX crypto exchange sent the industry into a tailspin.
This year, Bitcoin has come roaring back. Federal regulators allowed Wall Street firms to offer a popular financial product tied to the coin, attracting billions of dollars in fresh investment. Then, Mr. Trump’s election victory increased its price, as crypto enthusiasts branded him the first “Bitcoin president.”
