Stranded No More – Permian Basin Data Centers Tapping Associated Natural Gas for On-Site Power With Bracewell
from NGI’s Hub & Flow · host NGI: Natural Gas Intelligence
NGI markets editor Chris Newman sits down with Bracewell partners Bryan Clark and Jared Berg to discuss how companies can tap associated gas supply in the Permian Basin to fuel innovative co-located power arrangements and potentially receive higher pricing than at the oft-volatile West Texas benchmark, Waha. While data centers housing artificial intelligence grab headlines for their massive appetite for electricity, these projects represent a broader trend of associated gas assets being monetized for various in-basin power needs. Bigger projects may solve gas supply issues, but they bring operational complexity. Clark and Berg give examples of existing and proposed off-grid uses and the challenges they face.
