  Union Pacific (NYSE:UNP) is one of the companies working to capture this opportunity to ship oil out of the Basin. The railroad operator noted on its second-quarter call that it had some capacity to move Permian crude and should see results in the third and fourth quarters. Union Pacific has since signed a deal with a logistics company to ship 400,000 barrels of crude per month through the next year, which lines up with when new pipelines should enter service, though that agreement could last into 2020 if needed. More deals could follow as other producers seek ways to gain greater market access for Permian oil.

  Railroads have also been working to fill in the gaps. Union Pacific (NYSE:UNP) signed a deal last year to ship to 400,000 barrels per month through the end of this year to help move crude out of the Permian until new pipelines start service. That decision paid off during the fourth quarter, when Union Pacific's crude oil shipments increased 25% as it helped producers get their oil to higher-priced refining and export markets.

  The deal with KKR is the second private-equity-funded transaction NextEra Energy Partners has made in the last year. In September the company reached a unique financing agreement with leading asset manager BlackRock (NYSE:BLK) to fund a similar dropdown acquisition from NextEra. In that deal, NextEra Energy Partners paid $1.275 billion for 12 renewable-energy-generating facilities, which it partially financed with $750 million of convertible equity funding from BlackRock. The latest deal with KKR is on slightly better terms than the BlackRock agreement, as it features lower cash costs and the ability to issue equity to buy out the financing over a longer period, which increases NextEra Energy Partners' flexibility.
