RBN Energy: crude oil pipeline rate compression from Permian and Cushing to the Gulf Coast
Like the proverbial dog who finally catches the truck he’s been chasing, only to wonder what to do next, midstreamers at long last have brought on enough crude oil pipeline capacity to move Permian barrels to the Gulf Coast. In fact, right now there appears to be more than enough pipeline space, with several pipes flowing less than their capacity. What midstream companies now face is a race to the bottom as their pipelines compete with each other to attract barrels by offering service to Gulf Coast markets at the lowest price — resulting in transportation rate compression. Today, we begin a blog series on the tug-of-war for barrels and its effect on prices.
Crude oil production growth in the Permian Basin has been meteoric. The region’s output has more than doubled since the beginning of 2017, from about 2.1 MMb/d then, to more than 4.6 MMb/d today. As production ramped up, midstream companies scrambled to develop and build outbound pipelines to move those barrels to market, primarily to points along the Gulf Coast for refinery use or exports.
