H2O Midstream, LLC and EIV Capital, LLC have announced the execution of definitive agreements for the sale of H2O Midstream to Delek Logistics Partners, LP. H2O Midstream, based in Howard County, Texas, specializes in gathering, transportation, recycling, storage, and disposal solutions for produced water.
Jim Summers, co-founder and CEO of H2O Midstream, remarked, “The acquisition of H2O Midstream by Delek Logistics creates a fully integrated multi-commodity midstream platform in the Midland Basin and represents the realization of our vision that produced water can be managed as a true midstream business. This successful eight-year venture was only possible thanks to the incredible support and partnership of EIV Capital and the professionalism and dedication of all H2O Midstream management and employees, who represent some of the best this industry has to offer. I am excited to welcome this new era for oilfield water management under the capable leadership of Delek Logistics.”
H2O Midstream and EIV Capital partnered in 2016 to explore produced water midstream opportunities in the Permian Basin. Through greenfield development, organic growth, and strategic acquisitions, H2O Midstream built a comprehensive system comprising over 250 miles of buried pipeline, approximately 4 million barrels of owned and third-party storage, and access to over 900,000 barrels per day of owned and third-party
disposal capacity across a 400 square mile footprint.
David Finan, managing partner of EIV Capital, stated, “We valued the opportunity to partner with the H2O Midstream team as they executed a vision to build a leading water midstream platform in the Midland Basin.

SECURE YOUR BERM
Why Industrial Grass?
Reduced maintenance
Eliminate the time and effort of mowing, trimming, and upkeep required on your grass banks.
Increased safety
Industrial Grass provides a uniform surface with a padded backing, reducing safety risks for people walking on the banks.
Erosion control
The impervious nature of Industrial Grass will prevent water from causing erosion issues at your facility.
Improved appearance
Your facility will appear clean, neat and well maintained, 24/7.
Petroleum based product
• 3M
Greatly reduce maintenance costs
With a warranty period of 15 years and a life expectancy greater than that, maintenance expenses for the next two decades will be wiped out.
Reduce your carbon footprint
With the reduction/elimination of the use of small gasoline engines (mowers, weed trimmers, etc), you will be reducing emissions and gasoline spills, thereby reducing the carbon footprint of your facility.
Conserve water
Eliminating the need to water the grass saves money and conserves water.
Made primarily with polyethylene and polypropylene, this product comes from our own industry.

Bob Kenyon has been promoted to chief operations officer of Colonial Group, Inc., while continuing in his role as president of Colonial Oil Industries, Inc. Ryan Chandler has been promoted to chief commercial officer of Colonial Group, Inc., while maintaining his position as president of Colonial Terminals, Inc.
“All the companies within the Colonial family have experienced tremendous growth and change over the past several years,” said Christian Demere, president and CEO of Colonial Group. “While I am proud of the progress each company has made, I believe there is even more potential to unlock by better leveraging our synergies and strengths across the entire organization. Additionally, we have the opportunity to further strengthen our
family culture. Expanding Ryan’s and Bob’s scope across the company will help us achieve our full potential and become the best in every industry we serve.”
The Colonial family of companies operates across multiple industries, offering products and services that include energy and chemical marketing and distribution, materials storage and handling, and retail convenience stores.
In their new roles, Kenyon and Chandler will broaden their involvement across the organization in operational and commercial strategy and standards, uniting all Colonial business units under a new “One Colonial” approach.
Kenyon brings nearly 30 years of experience in fuel operations. Before joining Colonial in 2022, he served as senior vice president of sales and
marketing for Renewable Energy Group, Inc. He is also the former president of Atlas Oil Company, where he led the company’s nationwide sales, marketing, supply, operations, and administrative resources spanning 20 terminals and more than 900 employees. Kenyon holds a B.B.A. in business management from Eastern Michigan University and has completed advanced executive education studies at the University of Michigan.
Chandler joined Colonial Group, Inc., as vice president of business development in 2011 and became president of Colonial Terminals, Inc., in 2020.
