Permian Egress Constraints
Targa Resources Corp. · 2026-08-06 · Importance 34 · Surprise 42
Permian natural gas markets experienced significant egress constraints during the second quarter of 2026. The extended constraint period caused negative Waha prices and resulted in a negative average realized natural gas price of $2.48 per MMBtu for the Gathering and Processing segment. Despite the pricing pressure, higher Permian inlet volumes increased fee-based margin and supported year-over-year growth in adjusted operating margin. The company indicated that lower natural gas prices partially offset the benefit of higher volumes.
