Permian Exit. Western Grid Placement.

Aelix operates at the intersection of basin constraint and premium demand. We specialize in routing supply from the Permian, San Juan, and Rockies into the critical utility and power generation hubs of the Western Grid.

Active Desk Status

• Current Focus: Prioritizing Permian exit volumes for delivery into SoCalGas Citygate and PG&E (Malin).

• Placement Goal: Providing bridge liquidity for stranded Waha molecules into high-value California and Nevada utility loads.

• Market Logic: Navigating EPNG and Transwestern maintenance cycles to ensure continuous physical exit and price protection.

Primary Delivery Points & Infrastructure

Aelix maintains aggressive scheduling and placement capabilities across the Western interconnects:

• Primary Hubs: Waha, Opal, San Juan Basin, Topock.

• Core Citygates: SoCalGas Citygate, PG&E Citygate, Malin.

• Connected Infrastructure: El Paso Natural Gas (EPNG), Transwestern, Ruby Pipeline, Kern River, and Gas Transmission Northwest (GTN).

The Aelix Model: Verified Chain of Custody (VCC)

In the West, “Value” is simply another word for “Exit.” While distressed molecules clear at the hub, Aelix utilizes the Verified Chain of Custody (VCC) framework to ensure your gas reaches the “Last Mile” of Western demand.

Every Western transaction is governed by:

• Constraint Management: We focus on moving molecules out of negative-basis zones and into premium utility burn.

• VCC Traceability: Bank-intermediated settlement provides the audit trail required by highly regulated California utilities.

• Grid Stability: Our placement is aligned with 24/7 power burn and seasonal grid requirements.

Why It Matters: From Constraint to Premium

The Permian does not lack supply; it lacks reliable exit capacity. When Waha basis collapses, molecules become stranded and pricing disconnects. Simultaneously, Western markets demand reliable fuel for grid stability and utility load.

Aelix operates between these two realities. We don’t accept distressed hub pricing as the only outcome. By routing supply toward California utility demand and regional power loads, we decouple your production from basin-level volatility and move it toward the point of consumption where pricing strength exists.
