Industrial Demand. Precision Placement.

Aelix specializes in the technical placement of Midcontinent supply into the high-volume industrial and utility corridors of the Great Lakes. We bridge the gap between production hubs and the inelastic demand of the Chicago and Northern Indiana manufacturing centers.

Active Desk Status

• Current Focus: Prioritizing daily and term delivery into NIPSCO, Nicor, and Peoples Gas (Chicago).

• Placement Goal: Seeking incremental supply for 24/7 industrial manufacturing loads and regional utility baseload.

• Market Logic: Actively structuring around NNG Demarc spreads and MichCon inventory cycles to optimize netbacks.

Primary Delivery Points & Infrastructure

Aelix operates with high-velocity scheduling capability across the region’s most critical industrial gates:

• Primary Hubs: NGPL Midcontinent, ANR Joliet, NNG Demarc.

• Core Citygates: NIPSCO, Nicor, Peoples Gas, MichCon.

• Connected Infrastructure: Rockies Express (REX), Northern Border, Alliance Pipeline, Vector Pipeline, and Panhandle Eastern.

The Aelix Model: Verified Chain of Custody (VCC)

In the Midcontinent, value is driven by timing and placement. While most marketers rely on passive hub clearing, Aelix utilizes a Verified Chain of Custody (VCC) framework to move supply directly to the burner tip.

Every Great Lakes transaction is governed by:

• Industrial Alignment: We match your supply to continuous industrial load (Steel, Automotive, Processing).

• VCC Data Integrity: Our bank-intermediated settlement ensures that every Dth is documented and auditable.

• Execution Speed: We operate in the “prompt” market, managing the daily spreads that traditional desks often overlook.

Why It Matters: Demand That Does Not Shut Down

The Chicago and Northern Indiana corridors are powered by massive, continuous industrial burn. Unlike speculative trading hubs, this demand is fundamentally inelastic—the steel mills and manufacturers must be supplied regardless of market volatility.

Aelix operates at the intersection of this demand. By aligning your supply with these continuous load profiles, we provide a “Directed Flow” outlet that minimizes hub-exposure and maximizes certainty of placement.

Active Flow Profile

• Volume Range: 5,000 to 200,000+ Dth per day per delivery point.

• Target Partners: Midcontinent producers, marketers seeking Great Lakes exit, and industrial counterparties requiring reliable citygate supply.

• Structured Flow: Specialized handling of NYMEX Last Day Settlement (LDS) positioning and regional spread optimization.
