A subsidiary of Plains Oryx Permian Basin LLC acquired Diamondback Energy's interest in the OMOG JV LLC for approximately $225 million with $145 million net to PAA's interest. The deal closed on July 28th.

"We announced multiple strategic actions this quarter, including a bolt-on acquisition in the Permian that will complement our existing geographic footprint. Additionally, we took steps to improve the long-term durability and quality of our cash flow stream in the NGL segment by sanctioning the debottlenecking project at our Fort Sask complex and extending the duration of our contracts across our NGL portfolio.”
