America leads the world in oil and gas production. We believe midstream energy infrastructure offers predictable cash flows to investors..
America’s Still Increasing The Right Energy
The US Energy Information Administration (EIA) released its Short Term Energy Outlook (STEO) last week. It confirmed the current trends of increased production, improving mix and declining CO2 emissions. Most notable is that coal production is continuing to fall. This year should see output 20% below 2022, at 470 Million Short Tons (MSTs). We use […]

The shale revolution brought new US supplies of oil and gas onto the […]
