The initial assets will be supported by 15-year, fee-based commercial agreements, with Memorial Resource. Memorial is an NGP-affiliated independent natural gas and oil company focused on the development of the overpressured Cotton Valley formation in northern Louisiana.

The initial assets will include: the Lincoln Parish Plant, PennTex Gathering pipeline, PennTex gas pipeline, and PennTex NGL Pipeline.
