Energy Transfer makes FID on Permian Basin pipeline
Energy Transfer LP has reached a positive final investment decision (FID) for the construction of an intrastate natural gas pipeline connecting Permian Basin production to premier markets and trading hubs.
The new large-diameter pipeline, previously called the Warrior Pipeline, is being renamed in honor of Hugh Brinson and will now be known as the Hugh Brinson Pipeline. The pipeline will provide much needed transportation capacity out of the Permian Basin to serve growing natural gas demand.

The Hugh Brinson Pipeline is expected to be constructed in two phases with the first phase including the construction of approximately 400 mi of 42-in. pipeline with a capacity of 1.5 Bft3d. It will extend from Waha to Maypearl, Texas located south of the Dallas/Ft. Worth Metroplex, where it will then connect to Energy Transfer’s vast pipeline and storage infrastructure. Phase I is expected to be in service by the end of 2026.
As part of Phase I, Energy Transfer will also construct the Midland Lateral, which is expected to be a 42-mi, 36-in. lateral to connect Energy Transfer and third-party processing plants in Martin and Midland Counties to the Hugh Brinson Pipeline.
Phase II of the project would include the addition of compression to increase the capacity of the new pipeline to approximately 2.2 Bft3d. Depending on shipper demand, Phase II could be constructed concurrently with Phase I.
Combined costs of Phase I and Phase II are expected to be approximately $2.7 B. The project is backed by long-term, fee-based commitments with strong investment grade counterparties.
The Hugh Brinson Pipeline will connect shippers to Energy Transfer’s existing intrastate natural gas pipeline network and other downstream pipelines. In addition, it will provide shippers with the optionality to access prolific markets and trading hubs throughout Texas and beyond, including Carthage and Katy. This project is also expected to further establish Energy Transfer as the premier option to support power plant and data center growth in the state of Texas.
Energy Transfer LP owns and operates one of the largest and most diversified portfolios of energy assets in the United States, with more than 130,000 mi of pipeline and associated energy infrastructure. Energy Transfer’s strategic network spans 44 states with assets in all of the major U.S. production basins. Energy Transfer is a publicly traded limited partnership with core operations that include complementary natural gas midstream, intrastate and interstate transportation and storage assets; crude oil, natural gas liquids (NGL) and refined product transportation and terminalling assets; and NGL fractionation.
