Natural gas is starting to get out of the Permian Basin and it is having a positive effect on the market.

Happy Thursday

Did anyone happen to read MSN on July 23, 2026, they had an article from Oil Price US titled, “New pipelines set you ease Permian natural gas glut”?  In the article, it speaks on how natural gas from the Permian Basin is still having nowhere to go except to flare or pay to get rid of the gas, nonetheless this problem has a solution more pipelines and this is exactly what is coming to the region.  The lack of transportation out of the region has caused prices at the Waha hub to stay in the negative until last month, and it was because the Gulf Coast Express Pipeline (GCX) and Energy Transfer’s new Hugh Brinson Pipeline came online.   As more pipelines come online the current issues of lack of transportation out of the region will subside after some time passes, and this should help prices.  Over the course of the next year or two the U.S. is expecting a whopping 44.9 Bcf/d on natural gas pipelines to become operational, and in Texas alone there will be whopping 29.7 Bcf/d.  In Texas, three pipelines are expected to be operational this year, and they are Hugh Brinson Pipeline, the Rio Bravo Pipeline, and Blackcomb Pipeline and more are expected in the future.  We wish the region luck getting natural gas out of the Permian Basin into the marketplace where it belongs, if we hear anything else on the region, we will let you know.  If you would like to read more of the article from Oil Price US published on MSN, please click the link: New pipelines set to ease Permian natural gas glut.
