Enbridge, NextDecade Collaborate to Build Rio Bravo Pipeline
Read MoreHide Full Article
Enbridge Inc. (ENB - Free Report) recently signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with NextDecade Corporation (NEXT - Free Report) to build the Rio Bravo natural gas pipeline and several other gas pipelines in South Texas. The pipelines are expected to support NextDecade’s proposed Rio Grande LNG export terminal in Brownsville, TX.
The 135.5-mile proposed Rio Bravo pipeline, which is part of a $20-billion project, is expected to have a transportation capacity of 4.5 billion cubic feet of natural gas per day. It will deliver natural gas from the Agua Dulce hub near Corpus Christi to the proposed Rio Grande LNG terminal, which is currently facing some challenges from localites and yet to receive federal permissions.
On completion of construction, the pipeline will transport natural gas from the Eagle Ford Shale and prolific Permian Basin, where natural gas production is on the rise. In the Permian, natural gas is produced as a by-product of crude oil. As oil production in the basin is projected to increase in the coming years, natural gas output will likely surge proportionately. Markedly, the MOU is expected to be finalized in fourth-quarter 2019.
The new pipelines to be built with NextDecade will enable Enbridge to earn more stable fee-based revenues under long-term contracts. Notably, Enbridge placed two key projects online in 2019 and is planning to bring several major projects online through 2019 to 2022. Overall, C$19 billion worth of low-risk new projects are likely to fetch the company more profits and raise the value of its shareholders in the coming years. It is well positioned to capitalize on the growing need for natural gas in North America, courtesy of the rapidly expanding business.
