Whitewater Midstream LLC, a company that manages assets of over 3 billion USD in natural gas transportation in the Permian Basin, has expanded the range of its pipelines after acquiring Sendero Midstream Partner LP’s Gateway Pipeline. It is approximately 24-mile long and 24 inches in diameter. The company has made the acquisition official through an announcement on 26th August 2021. The Gateway pipeline, which was previously owned by Sendero, transports dry gas to WhiteWater’s Agua Blanca intrastate pipeline network.
The amount in which the roughly 24-mile-long pipeline has been acquired by Whitewater Midstream LLC is not disclosed According to Sendero, their formerly-owned Gateway dry gas pipeline has been operational since the second quarter of 2020.
Back in January 2021, Whitewater Midstream LLC announced the expansion of their natural gas pipeline into the Permian Basin that transports gas to the Waha Hub for processing and production. The Agua Blanca system’s capacity is now over 3 Bcf/d. This was a joint venture between Whitewater Midstream LLC and MPLX. This system consists of gas transportation systems with large diameter pipelines.
Additionally, the gas pipeline network facilitates Culberson, Loving, Pecos, Reeves, Ward, and Winkler counties in Western Texas. Agua Blanca connects to nearly 20 gas production and processing stations around the Permian’s Delaware sub-basin. Whitewater Midstream LLC was led by First Infrastructure Capital for its investment in the Agua Blanca project.
Post the company’s Agua Blanca expansion, from April to May 2021, Whitewater Midstream LLC held an open season where they were looking to determining interest in the capacity of 2 Bcf at the Waha Gas Storage facility located in Pecos County, Texas. Its Whistler Pipeline Service began its full commercial operations on 1st July 2021. The Whistler Pipeline service was made to transport natural gas to the markets located in various regions of the Gulf of Mexico. According to the company, this project will ensure the takeaway of an adequate amount of reliable gas. Other than that, the project also envisions to work in the Permian Basin to reduce natural gas flaring.

Oil output in the Permian Basin in Texas and New Mexico is supposed to go up 88,000 bbl/d to a record 5.219 million bbl/d in June, as the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) announced in its report on May 16. Additionally, gas productivity in the Permian Basin and the Haynesville in Texas, Louisiana and Arkansas will rise to record highs of 20 Bcf/d and 15.1 Bcf/d in June, respectively. Given that this growth has been expected, recent global market changes make forecasting the output even more challenging. Learning how production will change is easier with early activity tracking, a new service recently launched by Rextag – Pad Activity Monitor. With the help of PAM, you are able to monitor well pad clearing, drilling operations, fracking crew deployment and completions with new data collected approximately every 2 days. Additionally, it cuts down activity reporting lag times by at least 98%, from 120-180 days down to just 5-8 days. In order to access reports, charts, tables, and mapping visualizations via Rextag’s Energy DataLink use a web-based application allowing users to filter, download and identify activity on a map or data table. Moreover, customers will be able to set up daily, weekly, and monthly email report notifications.

The EIA forecasts that total output in the main U.S. shale oil basins will increase 142,000 bbl/d to 8.761 million bbl/d in June, the most since March 2020. Oil productivity in the Permian Basin in Texas and New Mexico is supposed to go up 88,000 bbl/d to a record 5.219 million bbl/d in June, as the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) announced in its report on May 16. In the largest shale gas basin, the productivity in Appalachia in Pennsylvania, Ohio and West Virginia will grow up to 35.7 Bcf/d in June, its highest since beating a record 36 Bcf/d in December 2021. Gas output in the Permian Basin and the Haynesville in Texas, Louisiana and Arkansas will rise to record highs of 20 Bcf/d and 15.1 Bcf/d in June, respectively. Speaking of the Permian future output, putting hands on upcoming changes in production has recently been made easier with the new Rextag's service - Pad Activity Monitor. Thanks to satellite imagery and artificial intelligence, customers are able to monitor the oil and gas wells and are provided with near real-time activity reports related to drilling operations. However, it is noticed that productivity in the largest oil and gas basins has decreased every month since setting records of new oil well production per rig of 1,544 bbl/d in December 2020 in the Permian Basin, and new gas well production per rig of 33.3 MMcf/d in March 2021 in Appalachia.

No sooner had the crude prices soared above $100/bbl than the industry professionals believed in an incredible growth of drilling activity in North America’s largest shale patch. Analysts speculate that additional output of 500,000 barrels of oil daily would become a significant part (4%) of overall U.S. daily production. That is going to flatter oil and gasoline prices. Drilling permits in the Permian Basin are persistently growing, averaging approximately 210 at the beginning of April. Moreover, the permits trend is noticed as an all-time high as a total of 904 horizontal drilling permits were awarded last month. Nowadays, learning and analysing the current situation and predicting the future development become easier with early activity tracking, a new service recently launched by Rextag. Rextag's Pad Activity monitor (PAM) allows you to see well pad clearing, drilling operations, fracking crew deployment and completions with new data collected approximately every 2 days with the help of satellite imagery and artificial intelligence. While the increase in drilling will result in higher production, U.S. shale producers will have to overcome several hurdles including labor shortages and supply constraints.
