Nearly all US natural gas pipeline capacity built in 2025 went to one place: the Gulf Coast. (EIA)
Of 6.3 Bcf/d in new pipeline capacity completed last year, 85% serves the South Central region—driven almost entirely by LNG export demand.
65% of new capacity was intrastate pipelines outside FERC jurisdiction, continuing a trend of intrastate builds outpacing interstate additions. The infrastructure is overwhelmingly gathering systems connecting producers to the transmission network.
