A subsidiary of Plains Oryx Permian Basin LLC acquired Diamondback Energy's interest in the OMOG JV LLC for approximately $225 million with $145 million net to PAA's interest. The deal closed on July 28th.

"Our team remains focused on execution while continuing to identify and progress capital efficient growth opportunities; as a result, we expect to be at the high-end of our 2023 EBITDA guidance range," said Willie Chiang, chairman and CEO of Plains said in an Aug. 4 earnings release. "We announced multiple strategic actions this quarter, including a bolt-on acquisition in the Permian that will complement our existing geographic footprint. Additionally, we took steps to improve the long-term durability and quality of our cash flow stream in the NGL segment by sanctioning the debottlenecking project at our Fort Sask complex and extending the duration of our contracts across our NGL portfolio.”
