Open The Door – New Pipeline Capacity Unlocks Supply Potential for Permian Natural Gas

July 20, 2026 · 11 min

About this episode

The episode discusses how new pipeline capacity has positively impacted natural gas prices in the Permian region.

Natural gas prices in the Permian spent the first half of the year in the red. Then, in mid-June, Kinder Morgan flipped a switch and now Waha prices are back above zero. The “switch” was a compression expansion on Gulf Coast Express, which added a desperately needed 570 MMcf/d of takeaway capacity.
