From the transcript
The reason that we have structured our agreements on selling gas the way that we have is to minimize the cost to Hilcorp, the upstream operator, to sell that gas, right? So I'm not quite sure what the cost of building a gas pipeline and a gas treatment plant are, but none of that cost will be paid by Hilcorp. Our only upstream cost will be that connection into the pipeline, which will be right at, as you say, the tailgate of our plant. And I think that's consistent with our business model. We are an upstream oil and gas company.
