Midstream Project Portfolio

This Midstream Project Portfolio, summarized in OnePager Pro for Microsoft Project, shows multiple timelines--each representing parallel phases for several midstream energy projects. It also graphs the targeted distribution volume over time in barrels.

Each midstream project timeline shows acquisition, closing, design, regulatory review, construction, go-live preparation, and launch of the pipeline or transportation system.
