Simplify's Take
What believers are saying
- Harvest completed the Kenai LNG terminal purchase in 2025 and targets imports by 1H28.
- A 2026 $1 billion notes deal refinanced debt and extended maturity to 2034.
- North Slope LNG deliveries to Fairbanks prove Harvest can monetize stranded Alaska gas.
What critics are saying
- Southcentral Alaska gas shortfalls force Kenai FID by 2Q26; delays destroy credibility.
- The 2026 Williams contract dispute shows asset acquisitions still trigger costly integration fights.
- Any Kenai permit denial or import delay leaves Harvest exposed to Alaska supply collapse.
What makes Harvest Midstream unique
- Harvest controls Alaska's only integrated North Slope-to-Fairbanks LNG supply chain.
- Its Kenai terminal gives Harvest rare optionality between LNG imports and future exports.
- Hilcorp backing and Jason Rebrook's execution keep capital decisions fast and centralized.

↓ -1%FERC confirms LNG project notification. Alan Bailey, Contributing Writer | Jul 05, 2026 The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission has sent a letter to Cook Inlet LNG confirming that the agency has received the company's notification about its proposed LNG import project in the Cook Inlet. The company proposes to implement a facility for importing liquefied natural gas to the Cook Inlet region by mooring a floating storage and regasification unit, or FSRU, adjacent the Osprey Platform off the West Foreland area on the west side of the Cook Inlet. LNG tankers would offload their cargoes into the FSRU. The FSRU would gasify the LNG and deliver the resulting natural gas to the platform by lines supported and elevated above the water. The platform is already connected by gas pipeline to the onshore gas transmission pipeline system. Cook Inlet LNG has told FERC that it anticipates filing an application for FERC approval of the project by December of this year. Given the fact that much of the required infrastructure is already in place, thus minimizing the environmental impact of the proposed project, the company has proposed hiring a contractor to develop a draft environmental assessment to accompany its application. FERC says that it anticipates being able to proceed with the pre-filing process without assistance but will request contractor assistance if necessary. The Cook Inlet LNG project is one of three potential LNG import facilities in the Cook Inlet region. Harvest Midstream plans to convert the existing LNG export facility at Nikiski on the Kenai Peninsula into an import facility. Glenfarne plans to build an LNG import facility adjacent the existing Nikiski export facility. Glenfarne's facility would be converted into an export facility if a planned natural gas pipeline from the North Slope is constructed. Alan Bailey, Contributing Writer.

Harvest Midstream I, L.P., a Houston-based privately held midstream services provider, has completed a $1 billion senior notes offering. The company issued 6.750% Senior Notes due 2034 through a 144A/Regulation S offering. Harvest plans to use the proceeds to redeem its existing 7.500% Senior Notes due 2028 and repay part of its revolving credit facility. The company operates assets across Alaska, Louisiana, New Mexico, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Texas, providing oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids transportation and processing services. Simpson Thacher represented the initial purchasers in the transaction. The deal team included lawyers from capital markets, tax, intellectual property and executive compensation practices.
Simpson Thacher represented the initial purchasers in connection with the 144A/Regulation S offering of $1 billion aggregate principal amount of 6.750% Senior Notes due 2034 by Harvest Midstream I, L.P (“Harvest”). Harvest intends to use the net proceeds from the offering to fund the redemption of its existing 7.500% Senior Notes due 2028 and to repay a portion of the amounts outstanding under its revolving credit facility.
Harvest Midstream acquires Kenai LNG terminal. Harvest Midstream has closed the acquisition of the Kenai LNG facility in Nikiski, Alaska, advancing its February 2025 plan to redevelop existing LNG infrastructure to strengthen Southcentral Alaska's energy security and provide reliable, market-responsive energy solutions for local utilities and consumers. "Today's announcement is another milestone in delivering real energy solutions for Alaska and advancing America's energy infrastructure," said Jason C. Rebrook, Harvest CEO. "Earlier this year, we delivered the first-ever North Slope LNG to Fairbanks, and now we are building on that momentum by putting existing LNG infrastructure back to work to help meet Southcentral Alaska's near-term gas needs and strengthen long-term energy reliability for the state." The acquisition includes about 100 acres of industrial waterfront, 107 000 m[3] of LNG storage, and legacy dock infrastructure historically capable of handling LNG vessels up to 138 000 m[3] (about 2.9 billion ft[3] of natural gas). The facility provides a strategic platform to help meet Southcentral Alaska's near-term energy needs through LNG imports, while preserving future export potential that could expand Alaska's reach in global energy markets. In summer 2025, Harvest completed a full inspection of the onshore facility and dock infrastructure. The company is seeking an amendment to its existing FERC permit to increase import capacity and is in advanced talks with global LNG suppliers and potential offtake customers. Harvest is targeting a final investment decision in 2Q26 and first LNG imports in 1H28.
