We Get Back Up Again – Spotlight On DCP Midstream Partners

General Partners Phillips 66 and Spectra Energy control midstream Master Limited Partnership (MLP) DCP Midstream Partners (DPM). The partnership owns midstream transportation and processing assets along the natural gas and natural gas liquids (NGL) supply chain. Similar to many MLPs its Limited Partner unit price has declined by more than 50% in the past year. Despite exposure to difficult market conditions in the Eagle Ford and East Texas, a strong performance from the NGL logistics segment is expected to propel a 20% gain in net income between 2015 and 2017. Today we review our latest spotlight analysis report on DPM.

We start with a word about Spotlight reports - a joint venture between RBN Energy, LLC and East Daley Capital Advisors, Inc.  We have joined together with the support of Oil & Gas Financial Analytics, LLC to provide comprehensive, detailed insight into the companies we select for our analysis.  Using publically available data and the deep experience of our combined teams, we get to answers that can be overlooked in the more high-level assessments in the marketplace today.  Spotlight reports get into the nitty-gritty, integrating fundamentals, market information and company data into a comprehensive analysis that provides a clear picture of the company and its prospects.  As with all energy fundamental analysis, Spotlight reports rely on estimates and approximations of volumes, throughputs and fees.   No non-public data from the subject company or any other source is been used in the preparation of the reports. Spotlight reports are available to RBN Backstage Pass subscribers and non-subscribers may purchase individual reports separately (click here for more information about Spotlight).
