Spurred on by production from prolific unconventional shale basins and tight sands, as well as anticipated market growth from electric generation and industrial sectors, as much as $210 billion in investment in pipelines, storage and midstream infrastructure will be required over the next two decades to meet long-term supply and demand needs, a new INGAA Foundation report estimates.
