Andrew John O'Donnell's questions to PLAINS GP HOLDINGS (PAGP) leadership • Q1 2025
Question
Andrew John O'Donnell asked for more detail on the volume recovery in April and May and how it might affect long-haul throughput. He also inquired about the longer-term outlook for Permian long-haul pipeline utilization.
Answer
Executive Jeremy Goebel attributed the volume recovery to production returning after winter weather and a surge in completions, not price signals. He and CEO Willie Chiang noted that long-haul utilization is a function of production, and while the long-term Permian growth outlook is unchanged, the timing could be affected by current market volatility.
