October 30, 2025 — Leads & Copy — Matador Resources Company (NYSE: MTDR) has entered into multiple natural gas transportation and marketing agreements to improve all-in pricing netbacks, gaining exposure to NYMEX Henry Hub pricing and LNG markets.
Matador secured firm transportation on Energy Transfer’s Hugh Brinson Pipeline to move 500,000 MMBtu per day of natural gas production out of the Permian Basin. The pipeline is expected to come online in the fourth quarter of 2026 and will transport natural gas from West Texas to Maypearl, Texas. From there, Matador’s natural gas will be transported to East Texas and markets along the Gulf Coast with access to LNG export markets and other key trading hubs.
According to Joseph Wm. Foran, Matador’s Founder, Chairman and CEO, locking in firm transportation out of the basin is an important part of their long-term planning, with takeaway constraints increasingly visible across the Permian Basin. For every $0.50 per MMBtu of increased natural gas price realization Matador achieves, Matador expects its annual revenue to increase by approximately $90 million.
In addition to the Gulf Coast agreements, Matador has extended a gas transportation agreement with another pipeline company to transport a portion of its natural gas to the Southern California market.
