Howard Energy Acquires 120-Mile Bidirectional Ethylene Pipeline from EPIC Midstream
(P&GJ) — Howard Energy Partners (HEP) has acquired EPIC Midstream Holdings’ 120-mile ethylene pipeline, strengthening its presence in the Gulf Coast region. The bidirectional, 12-inch pipeline connects the Gulf Coast Growth Ventures petrochemical complex in Corpus Christi to storage facilities in Markham, Texas, and enhances HEP’s integration with its existing assets.
The pipeline aligns with HEP’s Javelina Plant, a treating and fractionation facility that extracts olefins, hydrogen, and natural gas liquids (NGLs) from gas streams produced by local refineries. This acquisition enhances HEP’s capacity to support ethylene transportation and provides operational synergies within the region.
“This acquisition aligns with our long-term strategy of building a diversified midstream company through organic growth and acquisitions, anchored by long-term contracts,” said Mike Howard, Howard Energy Partners’ Chairman and CEO. “I want to thank our internal team for executing on this opportunity. We look forward to additional growth in 2025.”
The deal marks a significant year for HEP, which has completed several transactions totaling over $1.1 billion. With this acquisition, HEP now operates more than 1,500 miles of pipeline, nearly 1 billion cubic feet per day of cryogenic processing capacity, and almost 2.5 billion barrels of tank storage capacity across the U.S. and Mexico.
Kirkland & Ellis LLP advised EPIC Midstream Holdings on the transaction, while Bracewell LLP and Sidley Austin LLP served as legal advisors to HEP.
