DT Midstream, Inc. (NYSE:DTM) Q4 2023 Earnings Call Transcript

David Slater: Yeah. That’s another good question. I’d say the one area that has been evolving in the backlog. So I’d say our two core areas, pipeline and gathering lots of projects in different stages of the development cycle. Some you can see we’re — we brought a few in service, some are — we’re under construction on a few. Some are in what I’ll call late-stage development and some further out our earlier stage development. But the fundamentals around every one of these projects that we detailed are strong, and we’ve got line of sight to these expansions. So that’s what I’ll call our current core business platforms. The one that’s emerging, the energy transition, that one is emerging. We laid out a lot of detail in the deck around our Louisiana carbon capture and storage project.

But there are other opportunities that are emerging and growing in that segment. I’d say if there is any reallocation happening over time, my intuition would be that the Energy Transition segment grows quicker or attracts more capital quicker than some of the other segments. It just feels like it’s on the verge of really stepping forward quickly, especially with a lot of the tax incentives that have been laid out that are really accelerant to some of these investment opportunities.

Sunil Sibal: So just one clarification on that. Do you mean that opportunity set might be widening beyond CCS for you or is it more of CCS as you kind of achieve success in that?

David Slater: Yeah. I think there’s more beyond just the Louisiana CCS. I think for us, Louisiana CCS is demonstrating to the market that we are very capable to execute a CCS project in a disciplined way. I think the low carbon fuels, which we laid out is a really interesting space that’s growing quickly and taking our CCS expertise to third parties and really growing a third-party carbon capture and storage business is very real for us as I look out over the next five years?

Sunil Sibal: Okay. Got it. Thanks for that.

David Slater: You’re welcome.
