| Jul 2017 | Strategic investment | Blackstone | $1.6B | $3.1B | On 31 July 2017, Energy Transfer Partners announced that its subsidiaries had agreed to sell a 49.9 percent interest in ET Rover Pipeline, the holding company that owns 65 percent of Rover Pipeline LLC, to funds managed by Blackstone Energy Partners and Blackstone Capital Partners. Blackstone agreed to contribute approximately $1.57 billion in cash, which reimburses Energy Transfer for its share of construction costs incurred to closing, funds specified future construction costs and covers certain additional payments. After closing the holding company would be owned 50.1 percent by Energy Transfer and 49.9 percent by Blackstone, which equates to about a 32 percent look-through interest in the pipeline. Energy Transfer said it would use the proceeds to repay debt and fund growth projects, reducing its need to issue equity. The sale closed on 31 October 2017. Rover is a roughly 700-mile pipeline built to carry about 3.25 billion cubic feet of Marcellus and Utica gas per day to US markets and the Dawn Hub in Ontario, at a project cost of about $4.2 billion.
