Williams Partners L.P. has completed the execution of a new gas gathering agreement with Total’s U.S. affiliates, the successor to Chesapeake Energy’s properties in the Barnett Shale.
The Barnett agreement with Total follows a previously reported agreement with Chesapeake Energy that provides accelerated upfront cash payments to Williams Partners totaling $754 million ($334 million from Chesapeake and $420 million from Total), as well as new terms and conditions under which Williams Partners will provide gas gathering services to Total through 2029.
The closing of the new agreement with Total also marks the official termination of Williams Partners’ Barnett Shale gas gathering agreement with Chesapeake Energy. It is expected that Williams Partners’ existing gathering agreement, including MVC obligations with Total, will remain unchanged through mid-2019.
