(Source: Grant Black, Executive Director - NARO) The $1.75 billion pipeline that will pump up to 2 billion cubic feet of natural gas a day to the Coastal Bend from the energy-rich Permian Basin is running ahead of schedule and could be operational by mid-September, the project developer says. “The pipe is in the ground, there is still commissioning work going on on the compressor and meter stations,” Steve Kean, CEO of the Houston pipeline operator Kinder Morgan told investors in a conference call last week. "But our expectation is for a slightly early in-service date. Ken Medlock, director of an energy-studies program at Rice University in Houston, says an assessment Tuesday, Nov. 15, 2016 by the U.S. Geological Survey that the Wolfcamp Shale in the Midland-Odessa region could yield 20 billion barrels of oil is another sign that “the revival of the Permian Basin is going to last a couple of decades.” (Photo: Courtney Sacco, AP) The pipeline, called the Gulf Coast Express, is part of a twin project by Kinder Morgan to send natural gas across vast expanses of Texas to meet growing energy demands from East Texas to Mexico.
