The midstream industry is thriving, and here at Tulsa Heaters Midstream, we’re excited to share the latest updates on the market. It’s shaping up to be another great year, with growth across the board and major developments signaling a strong future. From monumental investments in infrastructure to the growing demand for natural gas, the midstream sector is positioned for continued success. Let's unpack the highlights shaping the summer of 2025.
The $25 Billion Milestone in Corpus Christi
One of the biggest announcements this year comes from Cheniere in Corpus Christi. They’ve officially greenlit Stage Three of their massive LNG expansion project, which represents a staggering $25 billion investment. When complete, this state-of-the-art facility will enhance the export capacity of liquefied natural gas (LNG) on an unprecedented scale.
This kind of investment underscores the long-term confidence in LNG as a global energy solution. For a facility of this size and scope, robust infrastructure and reliable equipment are critical. That’s where companies like Tulsa Heaters Midstream step in, providing the innovative, dependable solutions needed to keep the energy flowing.
Energy Transfer’s Long-Term LNG Agreement
If you thought a $25 billion investment was big news, get ready for another impressive announcement. Energy Transfer recently signed a 20-year deal with Chevron to supply LNG from their Lake Charles facility. A 20-year agreement in today’s market is no small feat. It shows the level of commitment and trust Chevron has in Energy Transfer’s capabilities and the overall strength of the LNG sector.
These kinds of projects don’t just happen overnight. They require reliable partnerships and high-performing technology to ensure seamless operations. At Tulsa Heaters Midstream, we’re proud to support initiatives like these through our expertise in heater innovation, fabrication, and engineering, ensuring the entire midstream process operates smoothly.
Natural Gas Demand Continues to Surge
While LNG investments grab the headlines, the demand for natural gas in other sectors continues to grow, with one interesting driver being data centers. That’s right, data centers are powering up their reliance on natural gas. These facilities need immense amounts of energy to operate, and natural gas is stepping in as the go-to fuel to meet these demands. While renewable energy sources like solar and hydro have a role to play, the reliability and efficiency of natural gas remain essential.
This trend feeds directly into the core of what we do at Tulsa Heaters Midstream. Our advanced designs and systems are tailored to meet the unique needs of industries relying on natural gas, ensuring efficient and environmentally responsible solutions.
The Outlook Is Bright for the Midstream Industry

Investments from major players like Cheniere and Energy Transfer, coupled with expanding applications for natural gas, signal a bustling pipeline of work and growth.
