Diamondback Energy Inc. is aiming to capture more value from the immense volumes of associated natural gas it produces as a byproduct of oil extraction in the Permian Basin, according to management.

A consortium of operators that own the Whistler Pipeline LLP, which moves Permian Basin natural gas to the Gulf Coast, has launched another project designed to move up to 2.5 Bcf/d more supply for LNG exports and Mexico.
