The Eiger Express Pipeline project is designed to transport up to 3.7 billion cubic feet of natural gas per day from the Permian Basin in West Texas to the Katy, TX area.
As production in the Permian Basin continues to grow, additional takeaway capacity is needed to transport natural gas to end markets. The Eiger Express Pipeline has already secured sufficient firm transportation agreements from multiple shippers, further demonstrating the need for the pipeline.
The pipeline will start in West Texas, crossing southeast through central Texas, and ending in the Katy area outside of Houston, Texas.
The Eiger Express Pipeline will transport natural gas produced in the Permian Basin located in West Texas and southeast New Mexico. As one of the most prolific oil and gas fields in the U.S., the Permian Basin produces more than 50 billion cubic feet of natural gas per day.
If you have not been contacted by a representative of Eiger Express, the pipeline is not currently planned to go through your property. To those landowners contacted, we are committed to being good neighbors and look forward to working together, incorporating your feedback in the proposed route and the project’s overall design.
We follow best management practices during construction to minimize erosion and sedimentation. We also return the area of impacts to preexisting contours, ensure vegetation is reestablished, and return the work areas to as close to previous conditions as possible.
The Eiger Express Pipeline will employ hundreds of skilled workers during the construction phase of the project and create several permanent jobs in Texas.
The pipe used to construct the Eiger Express Pipeline will vary in size, up to 48 inches in diameter.
The pipeline will be at least 3 feet below the surface and a minimum of 5 feet under road crossings.
As typical with natural gas transmission pipelines, the Eiger Express Pipeline will have a permanent easement of 50 feet, plus approximately 75 feet of additional workspace during the construction phase.
Construction is currently expected to begin in 2027 and is scheduled to be in service mid-2028, pending the receipt of customary regulatory and other approvals.
While the project does have the right of eminent domain, it is only used as absolute last resort. We are committed to being good neighbors and incorporating feedback from all relevant stakeholders in both the proposed route and the project’s overall design.
Once construction is complete, our teams will work to restore the area to as near to its original condition as possible and in accordance with the easement agreement. Once restoration is complete, many easements blend right in with the surrounding area.
