Midstream Business - March 2020

Midstream Business Magazine - March 2020

The midstream entered 2020 after a tough stretch, in light of the E&P sector's struggle, but Paul Hart, editor-at-large, hopes that investors will begin to see the midstream as a different type of investment worthy of consideration. The source of hope is exports, and this issue of Midstream Business focuses on that "most promising area of the sector."

Particular topics include:

  • Trends in the U.S. export market, including crude, NGL and LNG exports, as 2020 begins.
  • How growing U.S. LNG exports affect the global gas market.
  • The need for more U.S. export terminals, especially those that handle VLCCs.
  • An interview with Rod Sailor, president and CEO of Enable Midstream Partners LP.
  • The diminished presence of incentive distribution rights.
