Traverse Midstream

What Traverse Midstream does

Traverse Midstream Partners LLC was a private, non-operated midstream holding company that owned minority interests in two large-scale natural gas pipeline systems in the Appalachian Basin: a 35% stake in the Rover Pipeline and a 25% stake in the Ohio River System, both operated by Energy Transfer. The company was formed in 2014 as a portfolio company of The Energy & Minerals Group (EMG), a U.S. private equity firm focused on energy and minerals investments, and was headquartered in Edmond, Oklahoma, with a headcount of 1–10 employees consistent with a non-operated holding structure.

The company's business model centered on fee-based transportation services under long-term contracts with natural gas producers in the Utica and Marcellus shale regions. The underlying assets provide takeaway capacity from the largest natural gas production basin in North America to demand centers in the Midwest, Gulf Coast, and eastern Canada, including LNG export corridors along the Gulf Coast. As a non-operated minority owner, Traverse benefited from Energy Transfer's operational, technical, and regulatory expertise without bearing direct operating costs or labor overhead.

In March 2026, Abu Dhabi-based 2PointZero Group PJSC agreed to acquire Traverse Midstream Partners LLC from EMG for USD 2.25 billion in an all-cash transaction through its ePointZero energy infrastructure subsidiary, implying an 11.3x EV/EBITDA multiple. The transaction closed on July 14, 2026, marking ePointZero's first entry into U.S. natural gas infrastructure and transferring ownership to a sovereign-aligned strategic buyer within the so-called "Tahnoonisphere" investment network. The acquisition price reflects the contracted, fee-based cash flow profile of the underlying pipeline assets and the strategic value of Appalachian takeaway capacity in a tightening U.S. gas market.
