Adds company statement in paragraph 2
By Nicole Jao and Tanay Dhumal
Sept 3 (Reuters) -U.S. oil refiner Phillips 66 PSX.N sold its natural gas gathering and processing assets in East Texas to Voyager Midstream Holdings, a portfolio firm of Pearl Energy Investments, the company said on Tuesday.
"This transaction with Voyager Midstream Holdings is part of our plan to monetize non-core assets that are expected to generate over $3 billion in proceeds that will be deployed to further our strategic priorities," a company spokesperson said.
The company said last year it would monetize $3 billion in non-core assets in 2024 as part of a plan to boost returns by cutting costs and assets.
Haynesville, located primarily in Louisiana and East Texas, contains large amounts of natural gas.
Houston-based Voyager said the assets are located in Panola, Rusk and Harrison counties in Texas and Caddo parish in Louisiana.
"We are committed to growing our infrastructure footprint in East Texas and North Louisiana and improving producer connectivity and netbacks," Voyager CEO Will Harvey said.
Voyager did not disclose the deal value.
The company said the acquisition also includes the Carthage hub, a natural gas trading and delivery hub which can handle over 1 billion cubic feet per day. The hub provides connectivity to multiple markets across the U.S., including access to LNG markets in Texas and Louisiana.
