Continental Resources dropped rigs in the Bakken, potentially reducing KMI's crude gathering volumes. Despite higher oil prices, producers have not yet increased drilling, signaling a near-term headwind for Bakken volumes. — KMI's crude gathering segment is sensitive to producer activity in the Bakken; a drop in rigs suggests slower production growth, which could dampen KMI's volume outlook despite favorable commodity prices.
Доказательства
“Continental dropped rigs earlier this year, but prices are better, and so hopefully at some point some of our producers may increase rigs, but we have not seen that to date.”
Партнёры
KMI and Phillips 66 are jointly developing the Western Gateway pipeline, which would transport refined products from Texas to Arizona and California. The project is progressing to the next stage of finalizing agreements.
Доказательства
“KMI and Phillips 66 recently concluded a successful open season on the proposed Western Gateway pipeline system.”

KMI's five largest gas pipelines are operating at over 90% utilization, indicating tight capacity across the network. This supports the need for new pipeline expansions and strengthens KMI's pricing power on incremental capacity sales.
Доказательства
“The growth in the overall natural gas market of over 36 BCF since 2016 has driven utilization on our five largest gas pipelines to over 90%.”
