BIH PROJECT GETS A BOOST: Great Lakes receives notice to proceed for phase 1 of channel deepening project

The Brazos Island Harbor Channel Improvement Project in Brownsville, Texas, has received a boost as Great Lakes Dredge & Dock Corporation has been given the Notice to Proceed. The project aims to improve the Brownsville ship channel for NextDecade Corporation’s Rio Grande LNG project at the Port of Brownsville.

Great Lakes will begin Phase 1 of the project later this year. The main objective of the BIH project is to deepen the 17-mile-long Brownsville ship channel from its current depth of 42 feet to 52 feet. This will result in significant improvements in navigational safety for commercial shipping in South Texas.

The Port Director and CEO, Eduardo A. Campirano, emphasized the importance of the BIH Channel Improvement Project for the regional economy. He stated that it will strengthen the port’s position as a critical player in the global supply chain. As cargo volumes continue to increase,

the project will enhance the port’s capabilities and support sustainable growth for the industries it serves.

The BIH project consists of two phases and is funded through a Public-Private Partnership (P3) between the US Army Corps of Engineers, the Port of Brownsville, and NextDecade. NextDecade has agreed to cover 100 percent of the costs for Phase 1, including the deepening of the channel and the development of ship berths and a turning basin for the Rio Grande LNG facility. Phase 2, which involves deepening the channel from the turning

basin area to the Rio Grande LNG site, will be executed by the Port of Brownsville and the USACE.

The federal government has also allocated $68 million for Phase 2 of the project under the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act Appropriations Law, which was announced in March 2022.

Lasse Petterson, president and CEO of Great Lakes Dredge & Dock Corporation, expressed excitement about the project, calling it the largest undertaken in the company’s 133-year history. He looks forward to collaborating with NextDecade, the USACE, and the Port of Brownsville to complete this important improvement project, which will benefit navigation interests and facilitate future development at the Port of Brownsville.

IMTT ANNOUNCES

INAUGURAL SUSTAINABILITY-LINKED LOAN FACILITY

International-Matex Tank Terminals, an industry leader in the handling and storage of bulk liquid products, especially energy transition fuels, feedstocks and petrochemicals, announced that ITT Holdings LLC has successfully amended its existing revolving credit facility to include incentive pricing terms related to achieving various Sustainability Performance Targets.

The Facility represents the Company’s inaugural Sustainability-Linked Loan and is issued under IMTT’s recently developed Sustainability Linked Issuance Framework. The Framework outlines key performance indicators related to environmental and social factors. The outlined key performance indicators include: i) the percentage of new capital expenditures related to increasing IMTT’s ability to store and handle renewable and low-carbon products including but not limited to renewable diesel,

biodiesel, hydrogen, blue and green ammonia, sustainable aviation fuels, and the feedstocks used to produce these products; and ii) supplier diversity. These key performance indicators further reinforce the Company’s commitment to sustainability in line with its Greener and Cleaner strategy.

“We are reshaping our portfolio so that over half of IMTT’s revenue in 2023 will be generated from the handling of non-petroleum products, such as renewable diesel feedstocks, renewable diesel, vegetable and tropical oils, and

chemicals. Our Greener and Cleaner strategy is working, and we anticipate continuing to grow our non-petroleum share of revenue over the next several years through deployment of capital for new projects supporting the energy transition. The continued support from our lenders will allow us to continue to develop and execute the projects that support these ambitions,” said Carlin Conner, chairman and CEO of IMTT. “Additionally, we are committed to creating opportunities for vendors and suppliers that are capable, experienced and share our ESG goals.”

Sustainable Fitch has provided a Second Party Opinion which verifies that the Framework is aligned with the Loan Syndications and Trading Association Sustainability-Linked Loan Principles (2023).

CIBC Capital Markets acted as sole Sustainability Structuring Agent for the Framework.

BUCKEYE PARTNERS ACQUIRES CARBON CAPTURE COMPANY ELYSIAN

Buckeye Partners has announced that it has acquired Elysian Carbon Management from EnCap Flatrock Midstream. Elysian provides integrated endto-end carbon capture and storage solutions to industrial, power and similar facilities seeking to transition to lower carbon products to advance emissions reductions goals.

“This acquisition reflects Buckeye’s commitment to continue to provide essential infrastructure and logistics solutions to meet our customers’ evolving needs in the energy transition,” said Buckeye CEO Todd Russo.

“Rapidly developing CCS-related technologies and solutions offer abundant synergies across Buckeye’s project development capabilities and existing pipeline network and are essential to enabling the energy transition’s success. We’re excited for the Elysian team to join the Buckeye platform and to integrate their

expertise to better serve our customers’ growing lower-carbon needs.”

This acquisition is another meaningful step in Buckeye’s ongoing commitment to building a business that is responsive to the needs of the future while continuing to serve the energy needs of communities today. Through advancing strategies to further reduce carbon emissions, Buckeye is committed to becoming a net zero energy business by 2040, across scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions. These commitments and others

can be found in Buckeye’s newly released 2022 Sustainability Report.

“Buckeye continues to demonstrate resiliency and emissions-reduction results across its increasingly diversified energy solutions portfolio,” said Elysian CEO Bret Logue. “We’re fully aligned with their decarbonization mission and look forward to adding immediate value to Buckeye’s customer base and their momentum in the energy transition by integrating CCS technologies across the energy value chain.”

KINDER MORGAN AND HOWARD ENERGY EXPANSIONS

Kinder Morgan Tejas Pipeline LLC, a subsidiary of Kinder Morgan, Inc., and Howard Energy Partners have announced plans to expand their respective Eagle Ford natural gas transportation systems. The projects aim to deliver nearly 2 billion cubic feet per day (Bcf/d) of Eagle Ford production to Gulf Coast markets.

Tejas will construct a 67-mile, 42-inch pipeline that will connect the existing Kinder Morgan Texas Pipeline compressor station near Freer, Texas to the Tejas pipeline system near

Sinton, Texas. Dos Caminos, a joint venture between HEP and an affiliate of Eagle Ford Midstream LP, will construct a 62-mile, 36-inch pipeline, along with compression, treating, and dehydration facilities. This pipeline will connect HEP’s existing midstream pipelines and facilities in Webb County, Texas to the KMTP compressor station in Freer, Texas. The projects are expected to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2023. Once completed, the expanded systems will have the capacity to deliver up to 2 Bcf/d of natural gas to U.S. Gulf Coast markets.

The expansion projects, with an estimated cost of $251 million, are expected to provide critical supply

links for the growing demand from power generators, industrial customers, and LNG exporters along the Texas intrastate pipeline network.

Mike Howard, CEO of HEP, expressed excitement about the expansion, stating that it will be an important next chapter in helping producers in Webb County and surrounding areas gain access to premier natural gas markets.

Interested shippers can contact Larry Bell, chief commercial officer for Intrastate Pipelines in KMI’s Midstream group, or Tres Peacock, commercial director for HEP, for more information about the projects.

The proposed acquisition of 100 percent of the membership interests of South Texas Gateway Terminal LLC represents a strategic move for Gibson Energy, enhancing its capabilities and expanding its footprint in the region. The expiration of the waiting period under the HSR Act is a crucial condition that has now been satisfied, demonstrating progress towards the successful completion of the transaction.

By clearing this regulatory hurdle, Gibson Energy solidifies its position as a leader in the energy industry. This acquisition aligns with the company’s long-term growth strategy and is expected to contribute to its overall success. Gibson Energy remains committed to delivering value to its shareholders and stakeholders, and its dedication to strategic acquisitions and partnerships enables it to capitalize on emerging opportunities and strengthen its position in the market.

The pending acquisition of South Texas Gateway Terminal LLC is a testament to Gibson Energy’s operational excellence

and its ability to navigate regulatory processes. The company’s ability to meet key conditions reinforces its commitment to executing its growth strategy effectively.

As the transaction moves towards completion, Gibson Energy looks forward to realizing the benefits of this strategic acquisition. With its strong focus on sustainability and operational excellence, the company is well-positioned to drive growth in a rapidly evolving energy landscape.
