The Sun Devil Pipeline L.P. collaborates with Transwestern and Northern Border to provide pipeline capacity under an operating lease structure. Transwestern is responsible for managing shipper contracts and operational performance. In the event of a payment default by Transwestern, capacity may be terminated and shippers' contracts reassigned to Sun Devil. Both companies engage in a compression agreement with performance stipulations. Investments target an IRR, ensuring returns for both the General Partner (GP) and Limited Partner (LP) while outlining rights to revenue and contractual obligations.
