Some Gulf Coast oil and natural gas midstream infrastructure remained sidelined Feb. 16 as Texas bore the brunt of historically harsh winter weather and extended power outages.
Andy Weissman, CEO of energy research and consulting firm EBW AnalyticsGroup, told clients on Feb. 15 that "at least 7 Bcf/d of [gas] production was shut-in and ... at least 1.5 million [barrels/d] of oil production is lost" as drillers halted operations.
As of Feb. 16, these supply disruptions were still trickling down to the pipelines that transport oil and gas volumes from shale plays like West Texas' Permian Basin and the Mid-Continent.
