Management expects to reach a Final Investment Decision (FID) for the pipeline's compression expansion by the end of summer 2026.

This expansion comes as regional midstream peers experience notable growth, with competitors such as Kinder Morgan and Enterprise Products Partners reporting increased transport volumes in recent quarters per market data.
