Permian Highway Pipeline delayed

The Permian Highway Pipeline, proposed to stretch 430 miles from Waha, Texas to the Gulf Coast, has been delayed due to the “slower than anticipated pace of regulatory approvals.”

Kinder Morgan, the infrastructure company that will build and operate the proposed pipeline, announced the setback last week during its third-quarter results release for 2019.

While construction has begun on the Permian Highway Pipeline near Waha, Texas, the project is now expected to be in-service early in 2021, said KMI President Kim Dang in a statement. Previously, the proposed in-service date for the PHP was the fourth quarter of 2020.
