Spectra Energy Partners held its 2013 MLP/Midstream Infrastructure Conference in Las Vegas, Nevada on August 21-22, 2013. The presentation discussed Spectra Energy Partners' acquisition of additional assets from Spectra Energy, which would transform it into one of the largest fee-based master limited partnerships in the U.S. The acquisition included natural gas transmission and storage assets, as well as crude oil and natural gas liquid pipelines. This transaction was expected to close by the end of the year. Spectra Energy Partners also outlined several organic growth projects through 2020 totaling around $8 billion. The presentation projected annual distribution growth of 9% through 2015 as a result of the acquisition and growth opportunities.
