Five Point Infrastructure Announces the Sale of Northwind Midstream to MPLX LP

Transaction values Northwind at $2.375 billion

Five Point Infrastructure LLC (“Five Point”) today announced that it has entered into a definitive agreement to sell Northwind Delaware Holdings LLC (“Northwind” or the “Company”) to MPLX LP (“MPLX”) for $2.375 billion in cash consideration, subject to customary purchase price adjustments.

Founded by Five Point in 2022, Northwind provides sour gas gathering, treating, and processing services in Lea County, New Mexico. The Company is solving a highly critical issue in the Northern Delaware Basin, where upstream development has generally been restricted due to the lack of sour natural gas treating, acid-gas injection and sequestration well capacity. In addition, the Company contributes meaningfully to its customers’ sustainability objectives by capturing and sequestering the CO2 in the natural gas stream.

Northwind’s portfolio today includes over 200,000 dedicated acres, 200+ miles of gathering pipelines, two in-service carbon sequestration and acid gas injection (AGI) wells with a combined capacity of 20 million cubic feet per day (MMcf/d), and a third permitted well that will bring total capacity to 37 MMcf/d when completed in 2026.

David Capobianco, CEO and Managing Partner of Five Point Infrastructure, said, “We’re proud to have played a key role in unlocking development potential in the Northern Delaware Basin, which we continue to expect will be one of the most important oil producing regions in North America. This transaction is a clear validation of our investment thesis regarding the need for critical infrastructure development across the nation’s most productive energy basins. We congratulate MPLX on its acquisition of a great business and look forward to Northwind’s continued growth under their stewardship.”

The transaction is expected to close in the third quarter of 2025, subject to customary closing conditions, including clearance under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976.

Piper Sandler & Co. served as the exclusive financial advisor and Latham & Watkins LLP acted as legal advisor to the seller in connection with the transaction.
