页岩气已经成为美国能源结构中的重要组成部分。在不断发展的美国页岩气领域,高峰产量与气体收集和处理设施、管道的计划能力之间存在巨大差距,凸显了额外投资的必要性。页岩气资源的大规模开发已经吸引了许多建设中游设施的投资,但投资来源非常分散,基础设施建设缺乏统一的规划和协调。三类主要的基础设施建设投资来源是独立勘探开发公司、中游的业主有限合伙企业(MLP)和私募股权基金支持的中游公司。当前,由私募股权基金支持的业主有限合伙企业正成为基础设施投资的中坚。
Shale gas has become an important part of the U.S. energy mix. In the evolving area of shale gas in the United States, there is a huge gap between peak production and planned capacity for gas collection and processing facilities and pipelines, underscoring the need for additional investment. Large-scale development of shale gas resources has attracted many investment in the construction of midstream facilities, but the sources of investment are very scattered and there is a lack of unified planning and coordination of infrastructure construction. The three major sources of investment in infrastructure are independent exploration and development companies, medium-sized property owners Limited Partnership (MLP) and private equity funds backed by midstream companies. Currently, LPOs backed by private equity funds are becoming the backbone of infrastructure investments.
