The slow uptick in natural gas prices has finally made natural gas�production�less of a burden on a company's assets and more of a valuable part of a diversified energy company. There's no better indicator than the Marcellus shale formation. Despite being the largest gas formation in the U.S., it's never been the highest-producing region -- until recently. Now, at 7 billion cubic feet per day, it's the highest-producing unconventional gas play in the United States.
Today, Fool.com contributors Tyler Crowe and Aimee Duffy talk about how the increase in midstream infrastructure from companies such as Kinder Morgan (NYSE: KMI ) have made this possible, and how both customers and top gas producers in the Marcellus, such as Chespaeake Energy (NYSE: CHK ) and Talisman Energy (NYSE: TLM ) , are reaping the benefits.
It's easy to forget the necessity of midstream operators that seamlessly transport oil and gas throughout the United States. Kinder Morgan is one of these operators, and one that investors should commit to memory because of its sheer size -- it's the fourth largest energy company in the U.S. -- not to mention its enormous potential for profits. In The Motley Fool's premium research report on Kinder Morgan, we break down the company's growing opportunity -- as well as the risks to watch out for -- to uncover whether it's a buy or a sell.
