Oil prices are climbing on concerns about an escalating conflict between the US and Iran, with attacks on tankers and low global reserves keeping supply risks in focus. That keeps attention on the pipes, storage tanks and terminals that keep crude and gas moving. For investors, this creates a clear energy infrastructure story. This article walks through three US pipeline operators from our screener that fit that theme.
The three stocks below are just a starting sample, and the full US midstream oil and gas pipeline screen surfaced 19 more operators with equally compelling infrastructure stories that are not covered here.
If you want to identify and analyze the highest-conviction midstream ideas tied to Trump’s early 2025 fossil fuel orders, head straight to the US Midstream Oil and Gas Pipeline Operators screener.
Chevron is a global integrated energy group, but for this midstream screen the focus is on its pipelines, storage networks, and LNG transport that keep crude and gas flowing from high volume fields to export and refining hubs as policy support tilts toward faster infrastructure build out.
Chevron runs a broad energy and chemicals operation across exploration, production, transport, refining, petrochemicals, and LNG. Its revenue is anchored in its Upstream and Downstream businesses. Upstream contributes about US$107.7b across US and international operations, while Downstream adds roughly US$161.2b. The group has a market value near US$407.2b.
“The push to “unleash American energy” also amplifies demand for midstream services as upstream production ramps up, particularly in regions like Alaska and offshore areas reopened for drilling.”
For Chevron, what happens when one quiet shift in its cost structure and contract mix flows through future midstream margins could really matter.
That quiet shift is exactly what sits at the heart of the full narrative for Chevron, where contract structure, cash mix and risk buffers are unpacked in full detail.

Cheniere Energy runs LNG export terminals and linked pipelines that sit squarely in the midstream story. The company turns higher US gas output into cargoes heading overseas, so it directly taps into the policy push to get more molecules from fields to ships.
“Pipelines and storage facilities will be critical to moving larger volumes of oil and gas efficiently, especially with the renewed emphasis on LNG exports to meet global demand.”
What matters next for Cheniere is how one funding decision shapes the balance between infrastructure growth and the returns those assets produce.
That funding choice is only the start, and the full narrative for Cheniere Energy shows how project timing, contracts and capital costs could reshape Cheniere Energy’s risk reward profile.

SunocoCorp runs a large fuel distribution business plus a midstream network closely linked to the US pipeline theme. Fuel Distribution generates about US$38.8b of the group’s top line, while Pipeline Systems and Terminals add roughly US$2.5b. The stock has a market value near US$3.9b.
SunocoCorp’s approximately 14,000 miles of pipelines and 160 terminals connect directly to policies that prioritize moving more crude, refined products and NGLs through existing corridors. Investors get that hard midstream backbone alongside sizeable fuel distribution revenue. The interaction between one key policy tailwind and an underappreciated asset base could be decisive.
That hinge point starts with understanding the 3 key rewards and 2 important warning signs (1 is major!), where pipeline economics and fuel distribution cash flows could be pulling in different directions.
