Think of it as Williams essentially buying a bigger highway system for natural gas to travel through.
Pipeline deals of this size don't happen in a vacuum. The push to grow LNG infrastructure reflects broader market momentum — pun intended — as demand for natural gas, both domestically and for export, continues to climb.
