A subsidiary of FTAI Infrastructure Inc. (FIP) entered a definitive agreement to acquire crude oil logistics assets at Port Arthur, and Targa Resources Corp. (TRGP) advanced new power contracts. Each of these is a direct company action, not a market inference, and each links back to its source filing or release. Together they show a sector still investing in balance sheet and contract cover even as share prices softened.

- 05M&A & STRATEGIC ACTIVITY
The Transaction Record Holds at Its Trailing Benchmark
This page benchmarks the two-week period against the trailing precedent-transaction record of 40 deals at a median 9.8x EV/LTM EBITDA.
No new transactions priced during the two-week window, so the trailing record of 40 precedent transactions at a median 9.8x EV/LTM EBITDA still frames the set. That stability matters: the reference multiple acquirers and advisors work from has not moved, even as the Port Arthur agreement adds one more data point to the record. We hold the benchmark steady rather than re-presenting older deals as new news. For anyone underwriting a transaction today, 9.8x remains the number to test against.

- 06WHAT IT MEANS
Reading the Two-Week Period Against the Standing Thesis
This page translates the two-week period's evidence into implications for owners and operators, acquirers, and advisors.
For owners and operators, the period tested contract cover — fee-based versus commodity-sensitive cash flow and minimum-volume-commitment coverage are what separated names from the -4.6% median. For acquirers, the reference set is unchanged in price and one asset deal richer in evidence, with the trailing 40-deal, 9.8x benchmark still governing. For advisors, the period's own evidence — PBF Energy Inc. (PBF)'s priced exchangeable notes, the FTAI Infrastructure Inc. (FIP) subsidiary's agreed Port Arthur purchase, and Targa Resources Corp. (TRGP)'s new power contracts — argues for leading with contract quality and capital structure rather than headline share-price moves. These are observations on the recorded evidence, not recommendations.

Every figure in this update links back to the record it was taken from — SEC filings, company releases and established outlets — admitted in a fixed reliability order that excludes video and social platforms. Market data runs through September 28, 2026, and driver attributions use calibrated language reflecting our read of the recorded evidence, not asserted causation. This transparency is what lets clients act on the two-week period with confidence rather than second-guessing the sourcing.

SOURCES & METHODOLOGY Sources, Methodology and Important Notice How this bi-weekly update is built and what each kind of statement rests on · September 14–28, 2026 · market data through 2026-09-28 Every figure in this update links to the record it was taken from; the publishers and filings drawn on for the period are listed above. Oil and Gas Storage and Transportation Bi-Weekly Update | September 14–28, 2026 | Confidential | Not investment advice 7 OBSERVED DATA Bi-Weekly stock moves are computed close-to-close over the stated window from the platform’s price series. Deal records, values and multiples come from the platform’s transaction record (SEC 8-K extractions) exactly as recorded; each figure links to its citation. Treasury rates come from the platform’s Treasury series and are shown only when the 10-year moved at least ten basis points over the window (it did not in this window, so no rate figures appear). UNIVERSE QUALITY The update universe is the platform’s approved company set for this sector, subject to a $100M market-cap floor so small, loosely related names cannot dominate the statistics. 1 name below the floor was excluded from movers and statistics for this window. EVENTS & NEWS Company events are in-window 8-K filings; news items are publisher-sourced headlines fetched for the window (and any externally supplied items, marked as such). Operational and strategic developments (deals, partnerships, launches, expansion, guidance, leadership, regulatory outcomes) are shown first; capital-return mechanics and conference appearances are limited to one each. Every event links to its source. The deck never asserts an event that has no linked record. SOURCE HIERARCHY News is admitted in a fixed order of reliability: SEC filings first, then company press releases and investor-relations communications, then transaction documents, then established outlets (Reuters, CNBC, The Wall Street Journal, Barron’s and peers). Video and social platforms — including YouTube — are never used as sources. DRIVER ATTRIBUTION A stock move is linked to an event only when the event falls inside the window, and only in calibrated language ("the move appears to reflect…", "shares moved following…"). Where no driver is recorded, the page says so and compares the move to the sector median instead. ANALYTICAL INTERPRETATION "Why it matters", "why the deal happened" and the what-it-means page are NeuraCap analytical views drawn from the recorded evidence, and are labeled as such. INHERITED CONTEXT The standing sector view (thesis, valuation lens, sector median and tiering) is inherited from the NeuraCap sector study run_20260928T100415Z_305_prod (market data as of 2026-09-28) — distilled, never re-derived. That report’s own sources page governs its content; this update reads the period against it. IMPORTANT NOTICE This report is informational only. It is not investment advice, not a recommendation to buy or sell any security, and not an offer of any kind. Readers should perform their own diligence before acting on anything described here.

Window and company universe
This update covers Oil and Gas Storage and Transportation over the 14-day window September 14–28, 2026; market data runs through September 28, 2026. The universe is the 11 listed companies whose core business is Oil and Gas Storage and Transportation under NeuraCap's industry classification, subject to a $100M market-capitalisation floor so that very small, loosely related names cannot dominate the movers and statistics.

How the moves and statistics are computed
Each company's period move is the change in closing price from the last close before the window to the last close inside it (close-to-close). The sector median is the median of those moves across the covered names; the index return is computed the same way for the S&P 500 over the same dates. The largest single-day move inside the window is shown for each mover. Movers are the largest gainers and losers by period move; the attribution cards prefer movers whose in-window record explains the move. Movers carry the valuation tier assigned in the standing sector study (the latest NeuraCap sector outlook) where that study rated them.
Events, news and how a move is attributed
Company events are the 8-K filings made inside the window; news items are publisher-sourced headlines for the window, admitted in a fixed order of reliability: SEC filings first, then company press releases and investor-relations communications, then established outlets (Reuters, CNBC, The Wall Street Journal, Barron's and peers). Video and social platforms are never used. A move is linked to an event only when the event falls inside the window and only in calibrated language; where nothing in the record explains a move, the update says so rather than speculating. Every event links to its source.
Transactions in the window and the trailing record
Transactions are taken from SEC filings by announcement date; 0 were announced inside the window. The trailing record of 40 recorded transactions provides the reference multiples (EV over last-twelve-month revenue or EBITDA at announcement, as disclosed). A value whose own citation describes something other than the price paid is not shown as the deal value; transactions where the acquirer and the target are the same entity are treated as reorganisations and excluded.
Sources
Prices and index levels are market data through September 28, 2026; filings are the companies' SEC filings on EDGAR; press releases are the companies' own; other news items are from the established outlets named on each card; Treasury yields are published by the U.S. Department of the Treasury. Every figure and every event in the update links to its record.
Interpretation and important notice
'Why it matters', 'why the deal happened' and the what-it-means page are NeuraCap analytical views drawn from the recorded evidence, labelled as such. The update is informational: it is not investment advice, not a recommendation to buy or sell any security and not an offer of any kind.
This report is published for information only. It is not a recommendation to buy or sell any security, an offer or solicitation, an appraisal or a fairness opinion, and no fiduciary relationship is created by reading it. Multiples that fail NeuraCap’s plausibility gates are excluded and never plotted. See the full methodology and the disclaimer.
