In this episode of the Energy Perspectives Podcast, recorded on-site at the 2024 Permian Energy Dialogues, senior leaders from Golden Pass LNG, Kinetik, and Juniper Capital unpack the market forces reshaping the role of Permian gas on the global stage. Josh Schmidt, Kris Kindrick, and Jeff Hammad join Energy Dialogues for a pragmatic conversation on how rapid production growth, takeaway constraints, and rising nitrogen levels are colliding with long-term investment caution and global LNG demand.
