The Eiger Express pipeline project, connecting the Permian Basin to the Gulf Coast, will proceed with construction after securing firm transportation agreements with contracts lasting 10 years or longer from major customers. The pipeline will transport natural gas from the Permian Basin to the Gulf Coast, where it can be processed and exported. The project's partners include companies that specialize in the energy industry.
The Eiger Express Pipeline, a joint venture between WhiteWater, MPLX LP, ONEOK, Inc., and Enbridge Inc., has reached a final investment decision to proceed with construction. The pipeline is designed to transport up to 2.5 billion cubic feet per day (Bcf/d) of natural gas from the Permian Basin in West Texas to the Katy area in the Gulf Coast region [1].The project, which is 70% owned by the Matterhorn JV, 15% by ONEOK, and 15% by MPLX, has secured sufficient firm transportation agreements with primarily investment-grade shippers. These agreements will last for 10 years or longer, providing a stable revenue stream for the pipeline's operation [1].
The Eiger Express Pipeline will be constructed and operated by WhiteWater and is expected to be in service by mid-2028, pending regulatory and other approvals. The pipeline will connect to multiple gas processing facilities in the Permian Basin, including the Midland Basin and the Delaware Basin via the Agua Blanca Pipeline, a joint venture between WhiteWater, Enbridge, and MPLX [1].
The Matterhorn JV, which owns the Matterhorn Express Pipeline and 70% of the Eiger Express Pipeline, is a significant player in the natural gas transportation sector. The joint venture's ownership is split between WhiteWater (65%), ONEOK (15%), MPLX (10%), and Enbridge (10%) [1].
The Eiger Express Pipeline project is a significant development in the natural gas transportation sector, particularly given the growing demand for natural gas in the Gulf Coast region. The pipeline's construction will enhance the infrastructure for transporting natural gas from the Permian Basin to the Gulf Coast, facilitating the processing and export of natural gas.
