CDT Roundup: 17 Deals; 14 Firms; 184 Lawyers; $4.4B

Sarah McLean has been busy, to say the least.

The Shearman & Sterling partner advised on Southcross Energy’s sale of its Upper Gulf Coast Pipeline System to Max Energy for an undisclosed sum (see below).

That follows counseling Southcross and its South Texas subsidiaries on their sale to Targa Resources for $200 million; Silver Hill Energy Partners on its purchase of Haynesville assets from Pine Wave and its acquisition of oil and gas properties in South Texas’ Eagle Ford, both for undisclosed sums; and Encap Flatrock on its sale of Cogent Midstream to EIV Capital-backed Canes Midstream Holdings, also for undisclosed terms.

This year McLean also advised ATX Energy Partners on it and Vitol’s formation of VTX Energy Partners, which seeks to acquire, develop and operate large-scale upstream assets in established U.S. lower 48 basins. That comes after 2021 when she handled 11 M&A transactions (that we know of).

McLean calls the market for energy deals robust, especially when it involves private equity. “I’ve never seen PE funds this busy – making new investments, selling/exiting investments and looking at acquisitions,” she said.

For the week ending April 9, there were 17 deals for a total reported value of $4.4 billion. Those deals included 11 M&A deals worth $1.7 billion and six capital markets transactions worth $2.7 billion. That’s compares favorably with 13 deals for $1.8 billion the previous week and 15 deals for $8.9 billion this time last year.
