(NYSE: NRGY) (“Inergy”) for total consideration of $192.5 million.Inergy Midstream is a master limited partnership focused on owning, operating, developing and acquiring midstream energy assets. The Partnership’s current asset base consists of natural gas and natural gas liquids (“NGL”) storage and transportation assets located in the Northeast region of the United States. The Partnership’s near-term strategy is to continue to develop a platform of interconnected natural gas assets that can be operated as an integrated Northeast storage and transportation hub.

The solution mining process used by US Salt creates salt caverns that can be developed into usable natural gas and NGL storage capacity. US Salt has approximately 10 bcf of available cavern space that can potentially be developed into additional natural gas storage capacity.
