Pierce Norton, president and chief executive officer of Oneok, discussed the company's announced acquisition of Brazos Midstream's Permian Midland Basin assets for $4.425 billion and a related minority equity investment by Apollo Global Management. During an August 31, 2026 earnings call, Norton described the transaction as strengthening Oneok's Permian position, expanding its integrated system, and accelerating earnings and free cash flow per share growth. He stated that the acquisition is expected to be immediately accretive and that the company aims to operate with leverage at or below 3.25 times, which he said would provide flexibility for organic and inorganic growth while returning capital to shareholders. Norton also noted that the minority equity investment by Apollo is expected to close in the first half of September 2026, with the Brazos Midland acquisition expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2026, subject to regulatory approvals. He said the company was maintaining its full-year 2026 financial guidance and would provide an update with third-quarter earnings in October. Norton expressed that Oneok looks forward to welcoming Brazos employees upon closing of the transaction.
