ICF offers supporting data for midstream report

ICF International, a leading provider of consulting services and technology solutions to government and commercial clients, is now offering subscriptions to its 2014 Midstream Infrastructure Report-Supporting Data.

The Midstream Infrastructure Report-Supporting Data provides background data from which the recently released Interstate Natural Gas Association of America (INGAA) Foundation North American Midstream Infrastructure through 2035: Capitalising on Our Energy Abundance study had been derived. The INGAA Foundation study, which was authored by ICF experts, is now available jointly from ICF International and the INGAA Foundation.

“These supporting data are the cornerstone of the recently released INGAA Foundation study,” said Kevin Petak, Vice President for ICF International. “By offering the data behind the study, ICF Midstream Infrastructure Report – Supporting Data clients can apply any number of the sub-variables included to their specific business vertical or geographic area of focus in order to obtain the information critical to them.”

The INGAA Foundation study and the supporting data outline the significant midstream infrastructure and investment needed to support growing domestic production and increasing domestic demand. Since the previous 2011 study, forecasted midstream infrastructure expenditures have increased from US$ 205 billion to US$ 614 billion through 2035.

The Midstream Infrastructure Report-Supporting Data provides users with an easy-to-use interface for analytical discovery and time-series analysis. For example, following are needs forecasted through 2035:

Natural gas infrastructure

• Approximately 43 billion ft³/d in new gas transmission capability.
• About 850 miles per year in new gas transmission mainline.
• Almost 14 000 miles per year in new gas gathering lines.
• About 9 billion ft³/d of new liquefied natural gas export capacity.
• About US$ 14 billion per year of capital expenditures for new natural gas infrastructure.

NGL infrastructure

• About 3.6 million bpd in new natural gas liquid transmission capacity.
• Almost 700 miles per year in new natural gas liquid transmission line.
• About 30 000 horsepower per year for pipeline pumping requirement.
• More than US$ 2.5 billion per year of capital expenditures for new natural gas liquid infrastructure.

Crude oil infrastructure:

• More than 10 million bpd in new crude oil transmission capacity.
• More than 730 miles per year in new crude oil transmission line.
• More than 6 million bpd per year in new crude oil storage capacity.
• More than US$ 12 billion per year of capital expenditures for new crude oil infrastructure.

Comprehensive data are included in the Midstream Infrastructure Report-Supporting Data for both base case and low-growth case for natural gas, natural gas liquids, and crude:

• Pipeline mile projections including mainlines and gathering lines.
• Pump and compressor horsepower projections.
• Midstream infrastructure capital expenditure projections for pipe, compressors, pumps, storage, and other equipment.
• Economic projections for impacts on output, employment, labor income, value added, and taxes by category and by sector.
