Kirkland Advises Devon Energy on Final Investment Decision on Solitude Pipeline System
Kirkland & Ellis represented Devon Energy Corporation on its positive Final Investment Decision on the Solitude Pipeline System, a WhiteWater-led joint venture that will construct two 48-inch natural gas pipelines connecting the Permian Basin to Katy, TX. Solitude is the latest in a deliberate series of steps Devon has taken to integrate and consolidate the infrastructure supporting its Delaware Basin position. The Solitude Pipeline System is designed for a phased build-out of approximately 2.25 Bcf per day entering service in the second half of 2029, followed by a similarly sized second phase in 2030 and the ability to expand further to meet shipper demand. Construction and in-service timing remain subject to customary regulatory approvals.
