Thank You for sharing. This my article. I don’t have a large following on SA so nice to see that it has matriculated outside the confines. Also, here is a link to Pt. II which analyzes a couple plays followed on here. I will have Pt. III out soon. https://seekingalpha.com/article/4207207-u-s-shale-gas-times-changin-chapter-ii-new-plays

Epic pipeline going into service Q3 2019 will carry oil for at lease a year instead of NGL to ease oil takeaway capacity. Oil is king in the pecking order of decision making versus gas or NGL. Gas prices at Waha hub were down to $1.20/mcf this week due to gas takeaway constraints. Expect more puzzled looks on royalty owners faces when they look at the prices paid on their checks.

Platt’s is reporting that Sempra is in talks to build a LNG export terminal south of Tijuana in Baja. Could be a major new outlet for Permian gas. Interesting thing is most of the pipeline to the terminal would be through Mexico, probably because they don’t want to have to deal with California. So California costs itself a construction project that would have brought $ 3-4 billion to San Diego.
