As production in the Permian Basin continues to soar, midstream and transportation concerns are becoming more prominent, particularly regarding the capacity of pipelines and transmission lines to handle the increased output. Operators are facing challenges in meeting the growing demand for transport infrastructure to efficiently move crude oil and natural gas to markets domestically and for export. Addressing these transport issues will be critical in 2025, with additional investments in pipeline expansion and alternative transportation methods necessary to avoid bottlenecks and ensure continued production growth in the Permian Basin.
