Williams announced a definitive agreement to purchase Momentum Midstream in a strategic transaction valued at up to $5.5 billion. The deal further expands Williams’ fully integrated natural gas infrastructure platform in the Haynesville basin. Momentum Midstream’s assets are located in one of the nation’s most important supply basins.
Strategic Rationale

Power generation and industrial consumption along the Gulf Coast are also forecast to increase. Williams said the acquisition positions it to capture this growth by providing end-to-end infrastructure.
