Investment thesis

Base case
Data centers and electrification can increase long-term natural-gas infrastructure needs. The base case remains conditional on permitting risk staying manageable.
Bull case
Data centers and electrification can increase long-term natural-gas infrastructure needs. Transmission and gathering expansions can add contracted cash flows. A broad footprint can connect supply basins with growing demand centers.
Bear case
Pipeline projects face regulatory, legal and community challenges. A large growth program raises financing and execution demands. Higher funding costs can pressure distributable cash flow and valuation.
Thesis invalidation
Reassess the thesis if pipeline projects face regulatory, legal and community challenges.
