New pipeline capacity is altering the historic flow and pricing patterns in the Rockies natural gas market.
For years, movement of natural gas from the Rockies was highly constrained with few outbound pipelines from the region. With the advent of the Rockies Express (REX) Pipeline, production and prices in the region have seen a major boost. Benefiting from pipeline transportation cost advantages, Rockies production is altering the historic flows into the Midwest and Northeast.
