Wells Fargo added the pipeline company to its list of attractive "midstream reformers," which is reserved for companies that have taken the necessary steps to address the following, Blum said:
- The elimination of GP/IDR structure to improve corporate governments.
- Self-funding for equity.
- Capital discipline with a focus on return on investments.
- Solid distribution coverage.
- A path to boasting a conservative balance sheet.
Kinder Morgan could announce new organic projects that would make its growth story more visible, including a potential second Permian-to-Gulf Coast gas pipeline or a potential sale of its Kinder Morgan carbon dioxide business, which is the largest transporter of carbon dioxide in North America.
