Monthly Production Stream: May

The value of U.S. midstream infrastructure is changing.

In natural gas, supply is mismatched with demand on a regional basis.  Building infrastructure to get to one area of the country from another is an incomplete puzzle with the potential for 32 Bcf/d of buildout over the next five years.

In domestic crude oil markets, capacity is limited to get crude to the export dock.  Learn about the capacity crunch on the Gulf Coast and what midstream companies are doing about it. In NGL markets. fractionation in the Permian remains a problem searching for an answer.

Global energy security and safe haven assets are suddenly scarce. However, private equity, publicly traded energy companies, and foreign investment have found an alternative: U.S. energy midstream.
