The Whistler Pipeline began full commercial service on July 1st, 2021, providing approximately 2.0 billion cubic feet per day (Bcf/d) of incremental natural gas transport capacity to the Texas Gulf Coast markets from the Permian basin, which will help ensure sufficient reliable gas takeaway and reduce natural gas flaring in the Permian basin. The delivery points in Agua Dulce, Texas provide shippers with access to Gulf Coast industrial and export markets including LNG.
