It also a newly-built network of produced water pipelines with about 680,000 barrels per day of transportation capacity.
In addition, Hillstone has another 22 permits to develop another 660,000 barrels per day of disposal capacity.
NGL Energy said it expects to integrate the Hillstone system into its existing Delaware Basin platform to maximize uptime and redundancy for its producer customers.

This transaction is highly complementary to our Delaware Basin asset footprint," said Mike Krimbill, NGL Energy's CEO.
NGL Energy said it has arranged financing for the transaction including certain preferred equity and debt commitments in an amount necessary to fund the entire purchase price.
