Question: Brian Patrick Reynolds - UBS Investment Bank, Research Division - Analyst
: Maybe to start off a little high level on Kinder's positioning to support this 20% increase in natural gas demand by 2028 that you put in the release.
It seems like Kinder is well positioned for this growth, but we could see CapEx trend higher of that $1 billion to $2 billion range. So some of these
projects that are helping debottleneck the Texas, Louisiana corridor, GCX expansion and potential more Permian greenfield that's needed. Just
kind of curious, high level, can you talk about the opportunity sets that Kinder has just given Kinder's prior comments of looking to maintain that
50% market share around LNG supply going forward?

OCTOBER 18, 2023 / 8:30PM, KMI.N - Q3 2023 Kinder Morgan Inc Earnings Call
Question: Brian Patrick Reynolds - UBS Investment Bank, Research Division - Analyst
: Great. Maybe as my follow-up to touch on just the CapEx backlog build multiple. It's got a lot of focus over the previous few quarters. So it seemed
to trend a little bit higher this quarter with an increase of the backlog as well. So just kind of wondering if you can talk about the moving pieces
there, whether it's new projects driving it or whether the rising rate environment is having an impact on future returns? Any color would be helpful.
Question: Tristan James Richardson - Scotiabank Global Banking and Markets, Research Division - Analyst
: I guess just given the growth you guys you're seeing in the core transport business and certainly, volumes are growing in midstream, but as you
said, volumes are a little below plan, and you guys are working on asset sales. I mean, do you see midstream continuing to contribute less to the
business maybe as a percent over time, especially as we kind of look into next year?
Question: Tristan James Richardson - Scotiabank Global Banking and Markets, Research Division - Analyst
: Correct.
Question: Tristan James Richardson - Scotiabank Global Banking and Markets, Research Division - Analyst
: Yes.
Question: Tristan James Richardson - Scotiabank Global Banking and Markets, Research Division - Analyst
: Appreciate it. And then a quick follow-up. Just on the energy transition venture side, maybe top of the funnel, commercial activity you're seeing
around RNG maybe just a sense of overall potential capacity projects out there, particularly as you get past 2024 and Autumn Hills comes online?
