We update our supply/demand models for each basin and hydrocarbon,
refreshing for both production and the latest project announcements. First, we
change how we present our analysis — now on a quarterly basis — as we believe it
more accurately highlights when bottlenecks will occur. Notably, we now expect the
Permian to have sufficient takeaway by 3Q2019 as EPD’s earlier-than-expected
Seminole crude oil conversion (originally guided to 2020), in conjunction with the
EPIC NGL pipeline announcement, should add sufficient capacity to meet West
Texas crude oil supply. Turning to West Texas associated gas, as KMI’s Gulf Coast
Express and Permian Highway Pipeline commence operations, the basin should
have sufficient gas takeaway until 2022E — though we note Eastern Corridor
takeaway remains tight. In the Bakken, we continue to expect constrained takeaway,
giving PSX’s Liberty Pipeline a high probability of FID, in our view. In the Northeast,
long-term takeaway constraints should subside assuming projects such as the
Mountain Valley Pipeline and Atlantic Coast Pipeline enter service. Lastly, we expect
ENB’s Line 3 Replacement and TRP’s Keystone XL will debottleneck the WCSB,
given our current Canadian production forecast, although we expect delays for both
projects (estimated in-service of 3Q20E and 1Q22E, respectively).
Tight Permian takeaway in 1H2019 should continue to favor KMI (Buy, On
America’s CL), PAA (Buy) and ET (Buy), while opportunities in the Bakken
should benefit ET, KMI,TGE (Buy), and PSX/PSXP (Buy). A number of our favorite
ideas are well-positioned to benefit from both tight and long takeaway situations in
the near- and long-term. Tight near-term crude oil takeaway in West Texas will
continue to favor the marketing businesses for PAA and ET. However, once EPD’s
Seminole crude oil conversion and EPIC’s temporary NGL pipeline conversion
resolve the takeaway constraints, we expect those S&L profits to subside. In North
Dakota, the lack of pipeline capacity we anticipate should present long-term
opportunities for ET, KMI, TGE, and PSX/PSXP to pursue incremental takeaway
opportunities. New potential project announcements - like PSX’s Liberty Pipeline,
ET’s small (50 kbpd) expansion of DAPL and the KMI/TGE joint venture - all could
impact basin supply/demand - and contribute incremental EBITDA for the project
owners - if they move ahead. We see even more pronounced tightness in Western

Canada, which should likewise benefit TRP
, but note that regulatory headwinds make
projects like KXL likely to face continued delays and cost inflation.
In 2019, we believe investors should monitor new project announcements in the
Bakken and to the Gulf Coast — as well as potential project consolidations. With
numerous Permian crude oil pipelines getting announced and going FID recently — risks
exist of an overbuild in the coming years, unless production ramps materially above
expectations. We believe project consolidation could potentially occur in order to avoid a
potential overbuild and further distribute construction costs. New Bakken related
projects — like the potential KMI/TGE joint venture — also remain worth monitoring as
well as projects that could move crude to the Gulf Coast, such as TGE’s Seahorse
proposal, the Capline reversal, Red Oak by PSX/Bridger, SEMG/DCP’s proposed
Gladiator project and the MMP/Navigator joint venture. We see Capline as maintaining
the highest likelihood of receiving positive FID and will also monitor the progress of the
1-2 of the other projects, as well as expansions of either DAPL or TRP’s MarketLink, to
move crude oil to the Gulf Coast and for potential export.
PM Summary
Given the string of recent pipeline announcements, we updated our basin
supply/takeaway models for crude oil, natural gas, and NGLs. Key takeaways are as
follows:
Permian crude oil. In the Permian, we expect EPD’s earlier-than-expected
n
Seminole crude oil conversion, in conjunction with the EPIC NGL pipeline
announcement, will alleviate the basin’s crude oil bottleneck by 3Q2019 (earlier than
previously expected), while the recently announced PAA/XOM/Lotus JV should
result in overbuilt takeaway in West Texas in the long-term. Prior to the start-up of
EPIC’s NGL pipeline, which will transport crude oil from the Permian to the Gulf
Coast in 3Q2019 and 4Q2019 before switching to NGL service in 2020, we see EPD,
ET, and PAA as the best positioned to benefit from wide basis differentials in
1H2019.
Permian natural gas. Turning to natural gas, as KMI’s Gulf Coast Express and
n
Permian Highway Pipeline commence operations, we believe the basin will have
sufficient gas takeaway until 2022E, however, we note Eastern Corridor takeaway
could remain modestly tight.
Bakken crude oil. In the Bakken, we continue to expect constrained takeaway,
n
giving PSX’s Liberty Pipeline a high probability of FID, in our view.
Appalachian natural gas. In the Northeast, long-term takeaway constraints should
n
subside as projects such as the Mountain Valley and Atlantic Coast Pipeline (ACP)
eventually enter service, despite recent regulatory delays. Post-2023, gas takeaway
could become constrained given rising production, potentially creating incremental
growth opportunities for TRP
, KMI, and WMB.
Western Canadian crude oil. Lastly, we expect ENB’s Line 3 Replacement and
n
TRP’s Keystone XL to debottleneck the WCSB, in our view, although we continue to

expect delays (relative to guidance, given regulatory headwinds for both projects) for
both projects (estimated in-service of 3Q20E and 1Q22E, respectively).
Crude Oil — Permian to balance in 3Q19, Bakken/WCSB remain tight
The Permian Basin
We update our supply/demand models for each basin and hydrocarbon, refreshing
for both production and the latest project announcements. We now present our
analysis on a quarterly basis, as we believe it more accurately highlights when takeaway
bottlenecks will occur. Notably, we now expect the Permian to have sufficient takeaway
by 3Q2019 as EPD’s earlier-than-expected Seminole crude oil conversion, in conjunction
with the EPIC NGL pipeline announcement, should add sufficient capacity to meet West
Texas crude oil supply.
With the recent PAA/XOM/Lotus announcement and the Gray Oak upsizing, we
now expect the Permian faces a multi-year surplus of capacity.
We highlight three significant developments in our supply/demand model:
On January 30th
, PAA, XOM and Lotus Midstream (which recently completed its
n
acquisition of the Centurion Pipeline from OXY) announced the Wink to Webster
Pipeline JV, a 36-inch pipeline with capacity of >1 mmbpd. The common-carrier
pipeline will originate at Wink and Midland — and will terminate near Houston
(including Webster and Baytown) with connectivity to Texas City and Beaumont. The
project is expected by management to commence operations in 1H2021.
Additionally, EPD announced at earnings that the company will start the process of
n
converting its Seminole NGL pipeline to crude oil service — a 200 kbpd pipeline
entering partial service in February and full service in 2Q2019.
As a reminder, EPIC announced it will temporarily move crude oil on its 400 kbpd
n
NGL pipeline beginning in 3Q2019 until January 2020, while PSXP announced it
was increasing the capacity of Gray Oak to 900 kbpd.
We believe EPD, ET, and PAA remain best positioned to benefit from any
differentials and also the economics of crude pipelines to the Gulf Coast. With the
Wink to Webster pipeline receiving positive FID, we see the basin overbuilt by ~1,145

kbpd by 2022E. Conversely, we continue to expect near-term takeaway constraints in
1H19 prior to the start-up of the EPIC’s NGL pipeline and EPD Seminole pipeline, which
should benefit companies with crude oil marketing exposure. Further, while we expect
the Permian to reach sufficient takeaway by 2H19, we note that several large-scale
projects (e.g., the ET/MMP/MPLX/DK JV and Jupiter MLP) could receive positive FID,
which would add over 2 mmbpd of incremental takeaway capacity. We currently
exclude these projects from our analysis.
The Bakken
We also see a need for more takeaway capacity in the Bakken — a potential
positive for PSX’s proposed Liberty Pipeline project, one not yet in estimates. The
Bakken, in our view, remains the basin that should garner more investor attention, given
emerging pipeline constraints. We expect the Bakken remains underbuilt assuming
roughly +1,650 mmbpd of oil production in 2020+, needing rail to move oil — implying
the need for 1 large or 2 small/mid size projects. DAPL — co-owned by ET, PSXP
, and
MPLX — will increase its capacity by ~50 kbpd per management commentary, but we
see more takeaway required out of North Dakota. On November 9th
, PSX and Bridger
Pipeline announced a joint open season for the proposed Liberty Pipeline, which will
transport Powder River Basin (PRB) and Bakken barrels to Corpus Christi. If the
companies receive sufficient shipper commitments and build Liberty, a 350 kbpd line,
this could make the Bakken potentially long capacity. For now, we expect tight takeaway
in the Bakken to benefit crude pipeline operators in the basin (ET, KMI, PAA, and TGE).

On January 22nd,TGE and KMI announced a JV to increase crude oil takeaway
capacity out of the DJ, PRB, Bakken, and WCSB. TGE would contribute its Pony
Express Pipeline crude oil pipeline, while KMI would contribute portions of its Wyoming
Intrastate Company and Cheyenne Plains Gas Pipeline (which will be converted to crude
oil service). Per the announcement, the JV will construct 200 miles (321.87 km) of
greenfield pipe to connect the system to Cushing. In total, the combined system will
maintain a capacity of 800 bpd of light crude and 150 kbpd of heavy crude, and would
commence operations as early as 2H2020 — we do not yet include this new capacity in
estimates and believe FID announcements would not occur till later in 2019, if at all.
Western Canada
We also expect permitting headwinds keep the WCSB tight for the foreseeable
future, unless KXL comes online. Three projects shape the supply versus takeaway
debate in Western Canada — ENB’s Line 3 Replacement (L3R), TRP’s Keystone XL (KXL)
and the Government of Canada owned Trans Mountain Expansion Project (TMEP). All
three face separate challenges — environmental permitting, appeals and challenges of
previous approvals, etc. We assume both L3R and KXL both get built given regulatory
milestones reached thus far — albeit on a slightly later timeline relative to what we find
many investors expect. We conservatively model L3R and KXL to start-up in 3Q20E and
1Q22E, respectively, versus management commentary of 2H19 and 1Q21E, given the
potential for regulatory delays. To note, on November 8th
, KXL was blocked by a

Natural Gas — We see a need for more Gulf Coast takeaway our of the
Permian
The Permian Basin
Permian natural gas takeaway also appears sufficient for now, becoming
under-supplied in 2022 or so. We expect significant gas takeaway capacity will likely
come online in the Permian in the next few years — with projects like KMI’s Gulf Coast
Express (GCX) and Permian Highway Pipeline (PHP) alleviating much of the basin’s
associated gas bottleneck in the next 2+ years, assuming production that ramps to an
average of 11.1 Bcf/d in 2020 and 13.0 Bcf/d in 2021. Takeaway corridors remain an
important consideration with limited takeaway East (towards the Gulf Coast) driving
Katy-to-Waha differentials wider ($0.97 at end of 4Q2018). With Waha trading at
$0.20-0.30/Mcf through the first week of February, the market, in our view, is effectively
telling Midstream that the Eastern Corridor is the preferred takeaway option for West
Texas associated gas given a lag in Mexico demand, among other factors.
We highlight several potential projects awaiting FID — like Whistler or
Bluebonnet— could add another 4 Bcf/d of takeaway capacity by 2021, outpacing
the expected ramp in WestTexas associated gas production. Assuming a more

robust utilization of export pipelines sending natural gas south into Mexico, we see
takeaway capacity as sufficient through 2021, even if PHP and Whistler do not move
forward by then. Until these projects enter service, however, we believe ET and EPD
are best positioned to capture the wide differentials.
The Marcellus / Utica Shale
We also see takeaway constraints in the Northeast getting resolved as new
projects enter service. In our view, Mid-Atlantic gas demand (partially driven by new
LNG and coal retirements) will help absorb the natural gas production ramp we expect
in the Marcellus/Utica. Assuming Appalachian production of 30.1-37
.0 Bcf/d (per our E&P
team estimates) in the 2019-2022 time frame, takeaway capacity being developed (most
notably the Mountain Valley and Atlantic Coast Pipelines) should provide ample capacity
to move gas out of the basin — especially with Atlantic Sunrise entering service in
4Q2018. However, we note that these projects face continued litigation from
environmental groups, despite already being in the construction process. On February
1st
, Dominion Energy announced another delay to ACP (partial in-service in late-2020, full
in-service in early-2021) - while we assume full in-service in mid-2021 given the inherent
difficulties in building pipelines in the Northeast. We believe the Northeast would
remain in need of incremental takeaway if MVP faces delays similar to ACP — a push
out to 2021 would make the Northeast undersupplied by 0.9 Bcf/d in 1Q21E, in our
view. Post-2023, we expect the Appalachian gas takeaway to become constrained,
benefiting TRP and WMB.

Natural Gas Liquids - the Northeast needs more takeaway
Besides the Northeast, most North American basins appear likely to become
overbuilt with long haul NGL pipeline capacity, assuming projects come online as
scheduled. Once several key new pipeline projects come online — Grand Prix, Shin Oak,
and EPIC NGL pipelines in Texas or the Arbuckle II and Sterling III projects in the MidCon
basin and Elk Creek in the Bakken — many markets may appear to have sufficient
takeaway. The notable exception we see is the Marcellus /Utica, which appears
underbuilt (465-343 kbpd in 2019E-2023E) even assuming ET’s Mariner East 2X is
completed by year-end 2019.

Valuation & Key Risks:
KMI (Buy): Our $23, 12-month price target is based on an unchanged 10.5x EV/EBITDA
multiple, compared to our baseline multiple of 11.0x for our coverage group. Key
downside risks include recontracting risk, commodity prices, pipeline regulation, and
construction risk on growth projects. (Last close $17
.96)
PAA (Buy): Our 12-month $28 price target is based on an 11.5x EV/EBITDA multiple
applied to our 2020 EBITDA estimate. Downside risks include (1) a compression of
basis differentials as Permian takeaway pipelines enter service, which could pressure
margins at Plains’ S&L segment, (2) changes in Permian supply/demand dynamics which
could limit the need for incremental takeaway and thereby cap potential growth outside
of the company’s identified projects, and dilutive M&A which would dilute per unit/share
metrics. (Last close $22.91)
ET (Buy): We base our 12-month price target of $24 on a 10.5x EV/EBITDA multiple.
Key downside risks include near-term leverage and financing, cash flows from
subsidiaries, and a track record of M&A. (Last close $14.41)
TGE (Buy): We maintain our 12-month price target of $27 based on an unchanged 10.5x
EV/EBITDA multiple. Key downside risks for TGE include (1) the re-contracting of
existing oil and natural gas pipelines – given contract expirations on both REX and PXP

gathering business, (3) project return levels on new growth projects like the Cheyenne
Connector, and (4) financing needs. (Last close $23.05)
PSXP (Buy): We derive our 12-months price target of $65 by applying an unchanged
13.0x EV/EBITDA multiple - a premium to our baseline multiple of 11x - on our 2020
EBITDA forecasts. Key downside risks include dilutive acquisitions, equity issued at less
favorable prices, high customer concentration and distribution growth below our
estimates. (Last close $48.62). PSX (Buy) is covered by Neil Mehta (Last close $91.74)
Definitions
MLP distributions consist largely of return of capital and not of current income. The
ultimate composition of these distributions may vary due to a variety of factors including
projected income and expenses, depreciation and depletion, and any tax elections made
by the MLP
. The final characterization of such distribution will be made when an MLP
can determine each investor’s share of the MLP’s income, expenses, gains and losses.
The final tax status of the distribution may differ substantially from this information.

Disclosure Appendix
Reg AC
We, Michael Lapides, Jerren Holder, CFA, Zach Cantor and Kia Pourkiani, hereby certify that all of the views expressed in this report accurately reflect
our personal views about the subject company or companies and its or their securities. We also certify that no part of our compensation was, is or will
be, directly or indirectly, related to the specific recommendations or views expressed in this report.
Unless otherwise stated, the individuals listed on the cover page of this report are analysts in Goldman Sachs’ Global Investment Research division.
GS Factor Profile
The Goldman Sachs Factor Profile provides investment context for a stock by comparing key attributes to the market (i.e. our coverage universe) and its
sector peers. The four key attributes depicted are: Growth, Financial Returns, Multiple (e.g. valuation) and Integrated (a composite of Growth, Financial
Returns and Multiple). Growth, Financial Returns and Multiple are calculated by using normalized ranks for specific metrics for each stock. The
normalized ranks for the metrics are then averaged and converted into percentiles for the relevant attribute. The precise calculation of each metric may
vary depending on the fiscal year, industry and region, but the standard approach is as follows:
Growth is based on a stock’s forward-looking sales growth, EBITDA growth and EPS growth (for financial stocks, only EPS and sales growth), with a
higher percentile indicating a higher growth company. Financial Returns is based on a stock’s forward-looking ROE, ROCE and CROCI (for financial
stocks, only ROE), with a higher percentile indicating a company with higher financial returns. Multiple is based on a stock’s forward-looking P/E, P/B,
price/dividend (P/D), EV/EBITDA, EV/FCF and EV/Debt Adjusted Cash Flow (DACF) (for financial stocks, only P/E, P/B and P/D), with a higher percentile
indicating a stock trading at a higher multiple. The Integrated percentile is calculated as the average of the Growth percentile, Financial Returns
percentile and (100% - Multiple percentile).
Financial Returns and Multiple use the Goldman Sachs analyst forecasts at the fiscal year-end at least three quarters in the future. Growth uses inputs
for the fiscal year at least seven quarters in the future compared with the year at least three quarters in the future (on a per-share basis for all metrics).
For a more detailed description of how we calculate the GS Factor Profile, please contact your GS representative.
M&A Rank
Across our global coverage, we examine stocks using an M&A framework, considering both qualitative factors and quantitative factors (which may vary
across sectors and regions) to incorporate the potential that certain companies could be acquired. We then assign a M&A rank as a means of scoring
companies under our rated coverage from 1 to 3, with 1 representing high (30%-50%) probability of the company becoming an acquisition target, 2
representing medium (15%-30%) probability and 3 representing low (0%-15%) probability. For companies ranked 1 or 2, in line with our standard
departmental guidelines we incorporate an M&A component into our target price. M&A rank of 3 is considered immaterial and therefore does not
factor into our price target, and may or may not be discussed in research.
Quantum
Quantum is Goldman Sachs’ proprietary database providing access to detailed financial statement histories, forecasts and ratios. It can be used for
in-depth analysis of a single company, or to make comparisons between companies in different sectors and markets.
GS SUSTAIN
GS SUSTAIN is a global investment strategy focused on the generation of long-term alpha through identifying high quality industry leaders. The GS
SUSTAIN 50 list includes leaders we believe to be well positioned to deliver long-term outperformance through superior returns on capital, sustainable
competitive advantage and effective management of ESG risks vs. global industry peers. Candidates are selected largely on a combination of
quantifiable analysis of these three aspects of corporate performance.

Ratings, coverage groups and views and related definitions
Buy (B), Neutral (N), Sell (S) -Analysts recommend stocks as Buys or Sells for inclusion on various regional Investment Lists. Being assigned a Buy or
Sell on an Investment List is determined by a stock’s total return potential relative to its coverage. Any stock not assigned as a Buy or a Sell on an
Investment List with an active rating (i.e., a stock that is not Rating Suspended, Not Rated, Coverage Suspended or Not Covered), is deemed Neutral.
Each regional Investment Review Committee manages various regional Investment Lists to a global guideline of 25%-35% of stocks as Buy and
10%-15% of stocks as Sell; however, the distribution of Buys and Sells in any particular analyst’s coverage group may vary as determined by the
regional Investment Review Committee. Additionally, each Investment Review Committee manages Regional Conviction lists, which represent
investment recommendations focused on the size of the total return potential and/or the likelihood of the realization of the return across their
respective areas of coverage. The addition or removal of stocks from such Conviction lists do not represent a change in the analysts’ investment rating
for such stocks.
Total return potential represents the upside or downside differential between the current share price and the price target, including all paid or
anticipated dividends, expected during the time horizon associated with the price target. Price targets are required for all covered stocks. The total
return potential, price target and associated time horizon are stated in each report adding or reiterating an Investment List membership.
Coverage groups and views: A list of all stocks in each coverage group is available by primary analyst, stock and coverage group at
http://www.gs.com/research/hedge.html. The analyst assigns one of the following coverage views which represents the analyst’s investment outlook
on the coverage group relative to the group’s historical fundamentals and/or valuation. Attractive (A). The investment outlook over the following 12
months is favorable relative to the coverage group’s historical fundamentals and/or valuation. Neutral (N). The investment outlook over the following
12 months is neutral relative to the coverage group’s historical fundamentals and/or valuation. Cautious (C). The investment outlook over the following
12 months is unfavorable relative to the coverage group’s historical fundamentals and/or valuation.
Not Rated (NR). The investment rating and target price have been removed pursuant to Goldman Sachs policy when Goldman Sachs is acting in an
advisory capacity in a merger or strategic transaction involving this company and in certain other circumstances. Rating Suspended (RS). Goldman
Sachs Research has suspended the investment rating and price target for this stock, because there is not a sufficient fundamental basis for
determining, or there are legal, regulatory or policy constraints around publishing, an investment rating or target. The previous investment rating and
price target, if any, are no longer in effect for this stock and should not be relied upon. Coverage Suspended (CS). Goldman Sachs has suspended
coverage of this company. Not Covered (NC). Goldman Sachs does not cover this company. Not Available or Not Applicable (NA). The information
is not available for display or is not applicable. Not Meaningful (NM). The information is not meaningful and is therefore excluded.

2019 Goldman Permian Basin (In)Balances – Supply Versus Pipeline Takeaway.pdf

  • 1. We update our supply/demand models for each basin and hydrocarbon, refreshing for both production and the latest project announcements. First, we change how we present our analysis — now on a quarterly basis — as we believe it more accurately highlights when bottlenecks will occur. Notably, we now expect the Permian to have sufficient takeaway by 3Q2019 as EPD’s earlier-than-expected Seminole crude oil conversion (originally guided to 2020), in conjunction with the EPIC NGL pipeline announcement, should add sufficient capacity to meet West Texas crude oil supply. Turning to West Texas associated gas, as KMI’s Gulf Coast Express and Permian Highway Pipeline commence operations, the basin should have sufficient gas takeaway until 2022E — though we note Eastern Corridor takeaway remains tight. In the Bakken, we continue to expect constrained takeaway, giving PSX’s Liberty Pipeline a high probability of FID, in our view. In the Northeast, long-term takeaway constraints should subside assuming projects such as the Mountain Valley Pipeline and Atlantic Coast Pipeline enter service. Lastly, we expect ENB’s Line 3 Replacement and TRP’s Keystone XL will debottleneck the WCSB, given our current Canadian production forecast, although we expect delays for both projects (estimated in-service of 3Q20E and 1Q22E, respectively). Tight Permian takeaway in 1H2019 should continue to favor KMI (Buy, On America’s CL), PAA (Buy) and ET (Buy), while opportunities in the Bakken should benefit ET, KMI,TGE (Buy), and PSX/PSXP (Buy). A number of our favorite ideas are well-positioned to benefit from both tight and long takeaway situations in the near- and long-term. Tight near-term crude oil takeaway in West Texas will continue to favor the marketing businesses for PAA and ET. However, once EPD’s Seminole crude oil conversion and EPIC’s temporary NGL pipeline conversion resolve the takeaway constraints, we expect those S&L profits to subside. In North Dakota, the lack of pipeline capacity we anticipate should present long-term opportunities for ET, KMI, TGE, and PSX/PSXP to pursue incremental takeaway opportunities. New potential project announcements - like PSX’s Liberty Pipeline, ET’s small (50 kbpd) expansion of DAPL and the KMI/TGE joint venture - all could impact basin supply/demand - and contribute incremental EBITDA for the project owners - if they move ahead.

  • 2. Canada, which should likewise benefit TRP , but note that regulatory headwinds make projects like KXL likely to face continued delays and cost inflation. In 2019, we believe investors should monitor new project announcements in the Bakken and to the Gulf Coast — as well as potential project consolidations. With numerous Permian crude oil pipelines getting announced and going FID recently — risks exist of an overbuild in the coming years, unless production ramps materially above expectations. We believe project consolidation could potentially occur in order to avoid a potential overbuild and further distribute construction costs. New Bakken related projects — like the potential KMI/TGE joint venture — also remain worth monitoring as well as projects that could move crude to the Gulf Coast, such as TGE’s Seahorse proposal, the Capline reversal, Red Oak by PSX/Bridger, SEMG/DCP’s proposed Gladiator project and the MMP/Navigator joint venture. We see Capline as maintaining the highest likelihood of receiving positive FID and will also monitor the progress of the 1-2 of the other projects, as well as expansions of either DAPL or TRP’s MarketLink, to move crude oil to the Gulf Coast and for potential export. PM Summary Given the string of recent pipeline announcements, we updated our basin supply/takeaway models for crude oil, natural gas, and NGLs. Key takeaways are as follows: Permian crude oil. In the Permian, we expect EPD’s earlier-than-expected n Seminole crude oil conversion, in conjunction with the EPIC NGL pipeline announcement, will alleviate the basin’s crude oil bottleneck by 3Q2019 (earlier than previously expected), while the recently announced PAA/XOM/Lotus JV should result in overbuilt takeaway in West Texas in the long-term. Prior to the start-up of EPIC’s NGL pipeline, which will transport crude oil from the Permian to the Gulf Coast in 3Q2019 and 4Q2019 before switching to NGL service in 2020, we see EPD, ET, and PAA as the best positioned to benefit from wide basis differentials in 1H2019. Permian natural gas. Turning to natural gas, as KMI’s Gulf Coast Express and n Permian Highway Pipeline commence operations, we believe the basin will have sufficient gas takeaway until 2022E, however, we note Eastern Corridor takeaway could remain modestly tight. Bakken crude oil. In the Bakken, we continue to expect constrained takeaway, n giving PSX’s Liberty Pipeline a high probability of FID, in our view. Appalachian natural gas. In the Northeast, long-term takeaway constraints should n subside as projects such as the Mountain Valley and Atlantic Coast Pipeline (ACP) eventually enter service, despite recent regulatory delays. Post-2023, gas takeaway could become constrained given rising production, potentially creating incremental growth opportunities for TRP , KMI, and WMB. Western Canadian crude oil.

  • 3. expect delays (relative to guidance, given regulatory headwinds for both projects) for both projects (estimated in-service of 3Q20E and 1Q22E, respectively). Crude Oil — Permian to balance in 3Q19, Bakken/WCSB remain tight The Permian Basin We update our supply/demand models for each basin and hydrocarbon, refreshing for both production and the latest project announcements. We now present our analysis on a quarterly basis, as we believe it more accurately highlights when takeaway bottlenecks will occur. Notably, we now expect the Permian to have sufficient takeaway by 3Q2019 as EPD’s earlier-than-expected Seminole crude oil conversion, in conjunction with the EPIC NGL pipeline announcement, should add sufficient capacity to meet West Texas crude oil supply. With the recent PAA/XOM/Lotus announcement and the Gray Oak upsizing, we now expect the Permian faces a multi-year surplus of capacity. We highlight three significant developments in our supply/demand model: On January 30th , PAA, XOM and Lotus Midstream (which recently completed its n acquisition of the Centurion Pipeline from OXY) announced the Wink to Webster Pipeline JV, a 36-inch pipeline with capacity of >1 mmbpd. The common-carrier pipeline will originate at Wink and Midland — and will terminate near Houston (including Webster and Baytown) with connectivity to Texas City and Beaumont. The project is expected by management to commence operations in 1H2021. Additionally, EPD announced at earnings that the company will start the process of n converting its Seminole NGL pipeline to crude oil service — a 200 kbpd pipeline entering partial service in February and full service in 2Q2019. As a reminder, EPIC announced it will temporarily move crude oil on its 400 kbpd n NGL pipeline beginning in 3Q2019 until January 2020, while PSXP announced it was increasing the capacity of Gray Oak to 900 kbpd. We believe EPD, ET, and PAA remain best positioned to benefit from any differentials and also the economics of crude pipelines to the Gulf Coast. With the Wink to Webster pipeline receiving positive FID, we see the basin overbuilt by ~1,145 Exhibit 1: We highlight, across the basins, which companies maintain the most exposure to specific oil, gas & NGL plays Asset exposure per basin and commodity Bakken Eagle Ford Marcellus/Utica Permian Midcontinent Niobrara/Rockies Western Canada Crude Oil HESM, OMP, PSXP, CEQP, SMLP, ET PAA/PAGP, EPD, KMI, MMP HEP, MMP, PAA/PAGP, PSXP, MPLX, EPD, ET MMP, PAA/PAGP, SEMG, TGE TRP Natural Gas HESM, OMP, CEQP, SMLP, WMB DCP, KMI AM/AMGP, EQM, CEQP, MPLX, SMLP, WMB, TRP WES/WGP, DCP, MPLX, TRGP, OKE, KMI, EPD, ET TRGP, OKE, KMI WES/WGP, DCP, SMLP, WMB, TGE TRP, SEMG Natural Gas Liquids HESM, OMP, OKE DCP, EPD MPLX, ET WES/WGP, PSXP, DCP, MPLX, TRGP, OKE, EPD, ET TRGP, OKE WES/WGP, DCP, SEMG, EPD SEMG Source: Goldman Sachs Global Investment Research 10 February 2019 3 Goldman Sachs Americas Pipelines and MLPs For the exclusive use of JEFF@NAMERICO-ENERGY.COM

Conversely, we continue to expect near-term takeaway constraints in 1H19 prior to the start-up of the EPIC’s NGL pipeline and EPD Seminole pipeline, which should benefit companies with crude oil marketing exposure. Further, while we expect the Permian to reach sufficient takeaway by 2H19, we note that several large-scale projects (e.g., the ET/MMP/MPLX/DK JV and Jupiter MLP) could receive positive FID, which would add over 2 mmbpd of incremental takeaway capacity. We currently exclude these projects from our analysis. The Bakken We also see a need for more takeaway capacity in the Bakken — a potential positive for PSX’s proposed Liberty Pipeline project, one not yet in estimates. The Bakken, in our view, remains the basin that should garner more investor attention, given emerging pipeline constraints. We expect the Bakken remains underbuilt assuming roughly +1,650 mmbpd of oil production in 2020+, needing rail to move oil — implying the need for 1 large or 2 small/mid size projects. DAPL — co-owned by ET, PSXP , and MPLX — will increase its capacity by ~50 kbpd per management commentary, but we see more takeaway required out of North Dakota. On November 9th , PSX and Bridger Pipeline announced a joint open season for the proposed Liberty Pipeline, which will transport Powder River Basin (PRB) and Bakken barrels to Corpus Christi. If the companies receive sufficient shipper commitments and build Liberty, a 350 kbpd line, this could make the Bakken potentially long capacity. For now, we expect tight takeaway in the Bakken to benefit crude pipeline operators in the basin (ET, KMI, PAA, and TGE).

  • 5. On January 22nd,TGE and KMI announced a JV to increase crude oil takeaway capacity out of the DJ, PRB, Bakken, and WCSB. TGE would contribute its Pony Express Pipeline crude oil pipeline, while KMI would contribute portions of its Wyoming Intrastate Company and Cheyenne Plains Gas Pipeline (which will be converted to crude oil service). Per the announcement, the JV will construct 200 miles (321.87 km) of greenfield pipe to connect the system to Cushing. In total, the combined system will maintain a capacity of 800 bpd of light crude and 150 kbpd of heavy crude, and would commence operations as early as 2H2020 — we do not yet include this new capacity in estimates and believe FID announcements would not occur till later in 2019, if at all. Western Canada We also expect permitting headwinds keep the WCSB tight for the foreseeable future, unless KXL comes online. Three projects shape the supply versus takeaway debate in Western Canada — ENB’s Line 3 Replacement (L3R), TRP’s Keystone XL (KXL) and the Government of Canada owned Trans Mountain Expansion Project (TMEP). All three face separate challenges — environmental permitting, appeals and challenges of previous approvals, etc. We assume both L3R and KXL both get built given regulatory milestones reached thus far — albeit on a slightly later timeline relative to what we find many investors expect. We conservatively model L3R and KXL to start-up in 3Q20E and 1Q22E, respectively, versus management commentary of 2H19 and 1Q21E, given the potential for regulatory delays. To note, on November 8th , KXL was blocked by a Exhibit 3: The Bakken should garner more investor attention, given emerging pipeline constraints Bakken Crude Oil Supply Versus Takeaway 0 200 400 600 800 1,000 1,200 1,400 1,600 1,800 1Q17 2Q17 3Q17 4Q17 1Q18 2Q18 3Q18 4Q18 1Q19E 2Q19E 3Q19E 4Q19E 1Q20E 2Q20E 3Q20E 4Q20E 1Q21E 2Q21E 3Q21E 4Q21E 1Q22E 2Q22E 3Q22E 4Q22E 1Q23E 2Q23E 3Q23E 4Q23E kbpd Dakota Access Double H Bakken Exp.

  • 9. Natural Gas — We see a need for more Gulf Coast takeaway our of the Permian The Permian Basin Permian natural gas takeaway also appears sufficient for now, becoming under-supplied in 2022 or so. We expect significant gas takeaway capacity will likely come online in the Permian in the next few years — with projects like KMI’s Gulf Coast Express (GCX) and Permian Highway Pipeline (PHP) alleviating much of the basin’s associated gas bottleneck in the next 2+ years, assuming production that ramps to an average of 11.1 Bcf/d in 2020 and 13.0 Bcf/d in 2021. Takeaway corridors remain an important consideration with limited takeaway East (towards the Gulf Coast) driving Katy-to-Waha differentials wider ($0.97 at end of 4Q2018). With Waha trading at $0.20-0.30/Mcf through the first week of February, the market, in our view, is effectively telling Midstream that the Eastern Corridor is the preferred takeaway option for West Texas associated gas given a lag in Mexico demand, among other factors. We highlight several potential projects awaiting FID — like Whistler or Bluebonnet— could add another 4 Bcf/d of takeaway capacity by 2021, outpacing the expected ramp in WestTexas associated gas production.

  • 10. robust utilization of export pipelines sending natural gas south into Mexico, we see takeaway capacity as sufficient through 2021, even if PHP and Whistler do not move forward by then. Until these projects enter service, however, we believe ET and EPD are best positioned to capture the wide differentials. The Marcellus / Utica Shale We also see takeaway constraints in the Northeast getting resolved as new projects enter service. In our view, Mid-Atlantic gas demand (partially driven by new LNG and coal retirements) will help absorb the natural gas production ramp we expect in the Marcellus/Utica. Assuming Appalachian production of 30.1-37 .0 Bcf/d (per our E&P team estimates) in the 2019-2022 time frame, takeaway capacity being developed (most notably the Mountain Valley and Atlantic Coast Pipelines) should provide ample capacity to move gas out of the basin — especially with Atlantic Sunrise entering service in 4Q2018. However, we note that these projects face continued litigation from environmental groups, despite already being in the construction process. On February 1st , Dominion Energy announced another delay to ACP (partial in-service in late-2020, full in-service in early-2021) - while we assume full in-service in mid-2021 given the inherent difficulties in building pipelines in the Northeast. We believe the Northeast would remain in need of incremental takeaway if MVP faces delays similar to ACP — a push out to 2021 would make the Northeast undersupplied by 0.9 Bcf/d in 1Q21E, in our view. Post-2023, we expect the Appalachian gas takeaway to become constrained, benefiting TRP and WMB.

  • 11. Natural Gas Liquids - the Northeast needs more takeaway Besides the Northeast, most North American basins appear likely to become overbuilt with long haul NGL pipeline capacity, assuming projects come online as scheduled. Once several key new pipeline projects come online — Grand Prix, Shin Oak, and EPIC NGL pipelines in Texas or the Arbuckle II and Sterling III projects in the MidCon basin and Elk Creek in the Bakken — many markets may appear to have sufficient takeaway. The notable exception we see is the Marcellus /Utica, which appears underbuilt (465-343 kbpd in 2019E-2023E) even assuming ET’s Mariner East 2X is completed by year-end 2019.

We also certify that no part of our compensation was, is or will be, directly or indirectly, related to the specific recommendations or views expressed in this report. Unless otherwise stated, the individuals listed on the cover page of this report are analysts in Goldman Sachs’ Global Investment Research division. GS Factor Profile The Goldman Sachs Factor Profile provides investment context for a stock by comparing key attributes to the market (i.e. our coverage universe) and its sector peers. The four key attributes depicted are: Growth, Financial Returns, Multiple (e.g. valuation) and Integrated (a composite of Growth, Financial Returns and Multiple). Growth, Financial Returns and Multiple are calculated by using normalized ranks for specific metrics for each stock. The normalized ranks for the metrics are then averaged and converted into percentiles for the relevant attribute. The precise calculation of each metric may vary depending on the fiscal year, industry and region, but the standard approach is as follows: Growth is based on a stock’s forward-looking sales growth, EBITDA growth and EPS growth (for financial stocks, only EPS and sales growth), with a higher percentile indicating a higher growth company. Financial Returns is based on a stock’s forward-looking ROE, ROCE and CROCI (for financial stocks, only ROE), with a higher percentile indicating a company with higher financial returns. Multiple is based on a stock’s forward-looking P/E, P/B, price/dividend (P/D), EV/EBITDA, EV/FCF and EV/Debt Adjusted Cash Flow (DACF) (for financial stocks, only P/E, P/B and P/D), with a higher percentile indicating a stock trading at a higher multiple. The Integrated percentile is calculated as the average of the Growth percentile, Financial Returns percentile and (100% - Multiple percentile). Financial Returns and Multiple use the Goldman Sachs analyst forecasts at the fiscal year-end at least three quarters in the future. Growth uses inputs for the fiscal year at least seven quarters in the future compared with the year at least three quarters in the future (on a per-share basis for all metrics). For a more detailed description of how we calculate the GS Factor Profile, please contact your GS representative. M&A Rank Across our global coverage, we examine stocks using an M&A framework, considering both qualitative factors and quantitative factors (which may vary across sectors and regions) to incorporate the potential that certain companies could be acquired. We then assign a M&A rank as a means of scoring companies under our rated coverage from 1 to 3, with 1 representing high (30%-50%) probability of the company becoming an acquisition target, 2 representing medium (15%-30%) probability and 3 representing low (0%-15%) probability. For companies ranked 1 or 2, in line with our standard departmental guidelines we incorporate an M&A component into our target price. M&A rank of 3 is considered immaterial and therefore does not factor into our price target, and may or may not be discussed in research. Quantum Quantum is Goldman Sachs’ proprietary database providing access to detailed financial statement histories, forecasts and ratios. It can be used for in-depth analysis of a single company, or to make comparisons between companies in different sectors and markets. GS SUSTAIN GS SUSTAIN is a global investment strategy focused on the generation of long-term alpha through identifying high quality industry leaders. The GS SUSTAIN 50 list includes leaders we believe to be well positioned to deliver long-term outperformance through superior returns on capital, sustainable competitive advantage and effective management of ESG risks vs. global industry peers.

Additionally, each Investment Review Committee manages Regional Conviction lists, which represent investment recommendations focused on the size of the total return potential and/or the likelihood of the realization of the return across their respective areas of coverage. The addition or removal of stocks from such Conviction lists do not represent a change in the analysts’ investment rating for such stocks. Total return potential represents the upside or downside differential between the current share price and the price target, including all paid or anticipated dividends, expected during the time horizon associated with the price target. Price targets are required for all covered stocks. The total return potential, price target and associated time horizon are stated in each report adding or reiterating an Investment List membership. Coverage groups and views: A list of all stocks in each coverage group is available by primary analyst, stock and coverage group at http://www.gs.com/research/hedge.html. The analyst assigns one of the following coverage views which represents the analyst’s investment outlook on the coverage group relative to the group’s historical fundamentals and/or valuation. Attractive (A). The investment outlook over the following 12 months is favorable relative to the coverage group’s historical fundamentals and/or valuation. Neutral (N). The investment outlook over the following 12 months is neutral relative to the coverage group’s historical fundamentals and/or valuation. Cautious (C). The investment outlook over the following 12 months is unfavorable relative to the coverage group’s historical fundamentals and/or valuation. Not Rated (NR). The investment rating and target price have been removed pursuant to Goldman Sachs policy when Goldman Sachs is acting in an advisory capacity in a merger or strategic transaction involving this company and in certain other circumstances. Rating Suspended (RS). Goldman Sachs Research has suspended the investment rating and price target for this stock, because there is not a sufficient fundamental basis for determining, or there are legal, regulatory or policy constraints around publishing, an investment rating or target. The previous investment rating and price target, if any, are no longer in effect for this stock and should not be relied upon. Coverage Suspended (CS). Goldman Sachs has suspended coverage of this company. Not Covered (NC). Goldman Sachs does not cover this company. Not Available or Not Applicable (NA). The information is not available for display or is not applicable. Not Meaningful (NM). The information is not meaningful and is therefore excluded.

The analysts named in this report may have from time to time discussed with our clients, including Goldman Sachs salespersons and traders, or may discuss in this report, trading strategies that reference catalysts or events that may have a near-term impact on the market price of the equity securities discussed in this report, which impact may be directionally counter to the analyst’s published price target expectations for such stocks. Any such trading strategies are distinct from and do not affect the analyst’s fundamental equity rating for such stocks, which rating reflects a stock’s return potential relative to its coverage group as described herein.
