Energy Transfer reaches FID to build $2.7 billion intrastate Permian pipeline
Energy Transfer has announced a final investment decision (FID) to build the Hugh Brinson Pipeline, a $2.7 billion intrastate natural gas pipeline designed to move Permian Basin production to key Texas markets and trading hubs.
The first phase of the project includes constructing 400 miles of 42-inch pipeline, with an initial capacity of 1.5 billion cubic feet per day (Bcf/d). This phase will connect the Waha area to Maypearl, Texas, south of the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex, linking to Energy Transfer’s extensive pipeline and storage network. Previously known as the Warrior Pipeline, the project has been renamed in honor of Hugh Brinson.
Additionally, a 42-mile, 36-inch Midland Lateral pipeline will be built to connect processing plants in Martin and Midland counties to the mainline.
Phase II plans include adding compression to boost pipeline capacity to 2.2 Bcf/d, depending on shipper demand. Both phases could be constructed simultaneously.
The project, backed by long-term, fee-based agreements with investment-grade customers, is expected to be operational by late 2026. The pipeline will offer shippers access to Energy Transfer’s network and major hubs across Texas, including Carthage and Katy.
“This pipeline reinforces our commitment to meeting the growing natural gas demand, while supporting Texas’ power plants and data centers,” Energy Transfer said in a statement.
