    Question

    Energy Transfer and Enterprise Products Forecast Strong Q3 Midstream Volume Growth

    Direct answer

    Midstream master limited partnerships are experiencing volume tailwinds from increased Permian basin production and rising feedgas deliveries to Gulf Coast LNG export terminals. Both ET and EPD have locked in fee-based tariff revenue across their pipeline, fractionation, and storage networks. Investors are tracking cash flow distribution coverage ratios and capital expenditures allocated to export terminal expansion ahead of Q3 reporting. — bullish pressure on ET.
