From New Era In Energy: Kinder Morgan CEO | Mad Money | CNBC · · CNBC
“This infrastructure is really needed; for example, take all of the additional contracts we've signed for volumes coming out of the Marcellus-Utica play in the Northeast. That production has got to get out and it's going to move no matter who controls the actual production because we just have more natural gas and more NGLs coming out than can be absorbed in the Northeast.”
On , John Schlosser, VP & President of Terminals at Kinder Morgan, spoke about infrastructure during New Era In Energy: Kinder Morgan CEO | Mad Money | CNBC on CNBC.
John Schlosser, Vice President and President of Terminals at Kinder Morgan, has not been directly quoted in the provided material. The transcript and selected quotes feature comments from Kinder Morgan's CEO, Rich Kinder, during a September 2015 interview on CNBC's "Mad Money." In that interview, Kinder discussed the company's acquisition of its master limited partnership subsidiaries, describing the consolidated entity as a "toll road" operator with long-term contracts, particularly in natural gas pipelines. He stated that the infrastructure is needed to transport growing production from the Marcellus-Utica play and that lower natural gas prices have increased demand from petrochemical plants and electric generators. Kinder also addressed concerns about customer credit risk, saying the company has "solid contracts" with creditworthy companies and uses letters of credit for sub-investment-grade customers. Regarding oil prices, he said that existing CO2 floods in the Permian Basin can operate profitably at $40-$45 per barrel, while new floods would require $60 oil. He projected that the consolidated company would pay a $2 per share dividend in the following year and achieve 10% dividend growth through 2020.
