Antero Midstream to buy HG Midstream for $1.1 billion, sell Utica assets for $400 million

Neutral Impact 4 of 5 m&a Written later

Antero Midstream Partners agreed on December 5, 2025 to buy HG Energy II Midstream Holdings for $1.1 billion in cash, and the company agreed to sell its Ohio Utica Shale assets for $400 million. The company plans to fund the acquisition mainly with revolver borrowings, Utica sale proceeds and/or debt markets, and it says the deals will add to free cash flow after dividends and help it reach its 3.0x leverage target after closing.

Key points

  • Acquisition of HG Midstream for $1.1 billion cash; expected to close in the second quarter of 2026, subject to regulatory approvals
  • Ohio Utica Shale divestiture for $400 million cash; expected to close in the first quarter of 2026
  • Royal Bank of Canada and Wells Fargo committed a $700 million unsecured 364-day bridge facility
