Great. We're continuing our midstream fireside chat here. Very happy to have David Michels, CFO of Kinder Morgan, joining us. David, why don't you give some opening remarks on the company, please? David Michels VP & CFO Sure. First, thanks for having us here, Keith. Appreciate it. Good set of meetings so far. Looking forward to the rest of the day. So as we'll talk about more during this meeting, this is a pretty opportunity-rich environment for midstream companies, natural gas infrastructure development opportunities are as strong as we've seen in decades. So it's creating a lot of interesting opportunities for us for additional growth. Our base business remains very solid. We'll talk about the full utilization of networks across the space, which has led to the ability for us all to capture additional value when we see periods of time of disruptions, weather events. And then on top of that, these new opportunities to satisfy growth in the LNG space, growth in the power generation space is allowing us to add projects and grow additional - add additional EBITDA on top of our base business. So it's a great place to be right now, and it's very exciting. So we're pretty enthusiastic about the outlook for the company and looking forward to the conversation to get into that a little bit more. Question-and-Answer Session Keith Stanley Wolfe Research, LLC Great. So maybe we could start high level. I think about a year ago now, you put out a $10 billion shadow backlog. You talked to $3 billion plus per year of
Kinder Morgan unveils Southeast Connector pipe across Tennessee. September 25, 2026 Kinder Morgan has a new pipeline project in the works, one MDN has not told you about before, because until yesterday nobody outside the company had heard of it. It's called the Southeast Connector, and it would run north to south across Middle Tennessee through 10 counties, stitching together two of Kinder's biggest interstate systems: Tennessee Gas Pipeline (TGP) and Southern Natural Gas (SNG). Kinder VP Allen Fore made the rounds in DeKalb County on Thursday, meeting the county mayor, the Chamber of Commerce, and local media. Land agents may start knocking on doors as early as next week. Target in-service: 2029.
Kinder Morgan advances $10.1B natural gas project backlog. Kinder Morgan Expands U.S. Natural Gas Network as Power and LNG Demand Accelerate Kinder Morgan is expanding its U.S. natural gas infrastructure as growing liquefied natural gas (LNG) exports, gas-fired power generation and data-center development tighten pipeline and storage capacity. The company estimates U.S. gas demand could reach approximately 150 billion cubic feet per day (Bcf/d) by 2031 - about 27% above 2026 levels - and reports that utilization across its five largest gas pipelines already exceeds 90%. Its approved expansion backlog totals approximately $10.1 billion, with an average in-service date of first-quarter 2028. Major developments include the Trident Pipeline, Gulf Coast Express expansion, Amarillo Expansion, KinderHawk processing expansion and additional natural gas storage capacity. Kinder Morgan is also acquiring the Monument Pipeline System for approximately $500 million to strengthen its Texas intrastate network. Kinder Morgan U.S. Natural Gas projects. Kinder Morgan is developing additional infrastructure opportunities capable of serving more than 10 Bcf/d of power-generation demand and over 3 Bcf/d of LNG-related demand. This investment cycle creates opportunities for engineering, construction, compression, pipeline integrity, automation, measurement, electrical, storage and processing-equipment suppliers. Industry impact. Kinder Morgan's investments show how U.S. natural gas infrastructure is becoming central to LNG exports, grid reliability and data-center growth. The United States' position as a secure and scalable energy supplier - or "Safe Barrel" and increasingly a safe source of natural gas - supports long-term domestic infrastructure investment while giving global buyers an alternative to supplies exposed to geopolitical disruption. Sales strategy. Oilfield and midstream service companies should prioritize Kinder Morgan's Texas, Haynesville and Gulf Coast projects. Target project engineering, construction, operations, pipeline integrity, compression, storage and procurement teams with location-specific capabilities tied to 2026 construction activity and the Trident startup in 2027. Kinder Morgan is advancing a $10.1 billion project backlog to expand U.S. natural gas transportation, processing and storage capacity. Major opportunities are emerging across Texas, the Haynesville and the Gulf Coast as LNG, power generation and data centers drive higher gas demand.
President Donald Trump's nine largest oil and gas holdings gained between $1.5 million and $4.4 million in the first six months of the Iran war, according to a CNBC analysis of his financial disclosure and market data. The holdings include Chevron, ExxonMobil, and seven other energy companies. CNBC calculated gains using share-price movements from 27 February, the day before hostilities began, through 31 August. Trump's accounts showed at least 23 sell transactions across the nine stocks through 29 June. A White House spokesman said Trump plays no role in trading decisions, with all investments managed independently. Ethics watchdogs disputed this, noting Trump still knows his heavy energy investment positions. The nine firms posted combined second-quarter profits of $47.6 billion, triple the prior year's figure. US crude prices rose roughly 36% since the war started.
Public hearing, petition set for public input on Lowcountry data centers. Bluffton Today Sept. 8, 2026, 5:02 a.m. ET * Environmental groups are urging South Carolina residents to oppose a proposed "digital infrastructure overlay" in Colleton County. * Opponents fear the measure could allow data center development without public notice, despite a recent six-month moratorium. * A public hearing on the matter is scheduled for September 14 in Walterboro. * Critics are concerned the overlay could lead to polluting power plants and data centers in rural areas. Southern environmental groups are encouraging South Carolina residents to speak out against proposed data centers in our area and a public opportunity is scheduled for mid-September in Colleton County. According to Colleton County officials, on Aug. 10 the Colleton Co. Planning Commission and the Colleton Co. Council approved the first reading by title only on an ordinance related to a "digital infrastructure overlay." Despite a six-month moratorium on data centers recently approved by the C.C. Council, this overlay could allow for changes to the comprehensive plan and zoning ordinance that regulates proposed data centers in that county. Data center opponents and environmental groups fear that this overlay could allow data center development to be approved without any notice to the public and no public vote by a board or commission, and describe the measure as "underhanded tactics" to enable data center development directly contradicting the six-month moratorium passed in July. The C.C. Council has scheduled a public hearing on the matter set for Monday, Sept. 14 at 5:30 p.m. in Council Chambers (109 Benson Street, Walterboro) and the Coastal Conservation League (CCL) and the Southern Environmental Law Center (SELC) are encouraging the public to attend. "If this zoning overlay passes, data centers could be approved without any notice to the public and no public vote by a board or commission," claimed the CCL in a Sept. 2 statement. "The overlay could green light the largest data center in South Carolina, a one-gigawatt facility that would use nearly as much electricity as one million homes. The zoning overlay also allows for on-site energy generation, meaning polluting 'popup power plants' could be built alongside data centers in vulnerable rural areas. This is our chance to make our voices heard, as they are meant to be. We need transparency and accountability from our representatives, and we need them to do what's right by protecting our natural and rural landscapes." The SELC has also issued a statement: "The proposed data center policy for Colleton County as it is currently written is highly alarming," said Robby Maynor, SELC Policy Advocate. "First and foremost, it is in direct conflict with the six-month moratorium on data centers the county established in early July. Now, one month in, they have sprung these proposals on the community with very little notice, and no opportunity for public comments or feedback." "As it is currently written," stated Maynor, "The new data center overlay could be applied to Rural Development districts (RD-1 and RD-2). According to the Colleton County comprehensive plan, 'The county is primarily zoned for Rural Development, which covers 72.8% of the land area.' That means that this policy would allow data centers to be built on the vast majority of land in the county. Further, the data center overlay also explicitly allows onsite natural gas power plants to serve the data centers, which create significant air pollution. Meanwhile, Kinder Morgan is proposing to build a major interstate gas pipeline through Colleton County. While it would serve the Canadys facility, it would also bring additional gas supply into the area. Our concern is that this zoning policy for data centers, especially considering the proposed Kinder Morgan pipeline, could lead to rural Colleton County becoming a hotbed for new polluting data center development." A representative for the C.C. Council has not responded to a request for comment from any council member. A petition has been organized by the CCL, who is asking both Colleton County residents and anyone who enjoys the "natural gems" of the ACE Basin to consider signing it.
