With fresh capital, Canes will be well positioned to grow Cogent’s Midland Basin footprint and provide producers with best-in-class service

DALLAS, Texas (May 25, 2022) – Canes Midstream LLC (“Canes”), a Dallas-based portfolio company of EIV Capital and Denham Capital, has closed on the acquisition of Cogent Midstream LLC (“Cogent”). The Cogent assets, located in the Southern Midland Basin, include 520 million cubic feet per day of processing capacity, over 800 miles of pipelines, 42 compressor stations, a crude oil gathering system, and substantial acreage dedications from a diverse group of Midland Basin-focused producers. The Cogent system spans 10 counties in the Midland Basin, with the bulk of the infrastructure in Reagan and Irion counties.

Scott Brown, Founder and CEO of Canes, stated, “I was with these assets at inception and am excited to return and continue to grow them. With our newer facilities and the significant capital invested by Cogent to date, we are well positioned to grow the system and provide best-in-class midstream services to our existing and future customers. I believe Canes will be the preferred midstream service provider in the Southern Midland Basin.”

“We are thrilled to expand our partnership with Canes and are confident Scott’s familiarity with the team and assets position the Cogent system to be the midstream provider of choice in the area. With fresh capital, Canes will continue to expand the system and support Permian production growth,” said Greg Davis, Partner at EIV.

James Obulaney, Managing Director of Denham, said, “Canes, via this acquisition, is well positioned to drive differentiated outcomes for area producers. We look forward to supporting Scott and team as they grow this tier-1 system to service new and existing customers in the Permian Basin.”

Wells Fargo Securities, LLC acted as exclusive financial advisor and Sidley Austin LLP acted as corporate counsel to Canes. BofA Securities served as exclusive financial advisor to Cogent.
