DALLAS, TX - Energy Transfer LP, a Dallas-based company, has announced plans to construct a 400-mile interstate natural gas pipeline connecting the Permian Basin to major markets and trading hubs across Texas.
The $2.7 billion Hugh Brinson Pipeline is set to be built in two phases, with completion expected by the end of 2026.

Phase one will span nearly 400 miles, running from Waha, near Odessa, to Maypearl, 40 miles south of Dallas. The pipeline will integrate with Energy Transfer’s existing infrastructure, transporting 1.5 billion cubic feet of natural gas per day through a 42-inch diameter system. A second, 42-mile Midland Lateral line will connect the main pipeline to processing plants in Martin and Midland counties.
Phase two, which may be constructed simultaneously with the first, will expand the pipeline’s capacity to 2.2 billion cubic feet daily through compression systems. The project is backed by long-term investor commitments, information stated.
The pipeline aims to meet growing transportation demand for natural gas from the Permian Basin, linking producers to Energy Transfer’s extensive network and hubs in areas like Carthage and Katy. The company recently expanded its Permian operations by acquiring Midland-based WTG Midstream Holdings in a $3.25 billion deal.
Energy Transfer, known for large-scale projects such as the Dakota Access Pipeline, is also facing a $300 million lawsuit from Greenpeace, with trial proceedings set for February.
