S&P upgrades Access Midstream

Standard & Poor's said it raised the corporate credit rating on Access Midstream Partners LP to BB+ from BB.

The agency also said it raised the rating on Access Midstream's senior unsecured debt to BB+ from BB-. The 4 recovery rating is unchanged.

The outlook is stable.

The ratings reflect Access Midstream's improved counterparty risk related to Chesapeake Energy Corp. following Chesapeake's recent upgrade to BB+ from BB-, said Nora Pickens, an S&P analyst.

Access Midstream's counterparty exposure to Chesapeake, which accounts for about 75% of 2014 cash flow, caps the ratings at this time, Pickens said in a press release.

Access has a satisfactory business risk profile and significant financial risk profile, the analyst added.
