Permian hub pricing

Waha gas price and Permian constraint context for API workflows.

Waha is the gas-specific wedge for teams watching Permian basis, takeaway pressure, and Henry Hub spreads. Use the latest price endpoint for Waha, then compare it to Henry Hub through the configured WAHA_HH basis pair.

Basis pair
WAHA_HH

Compare Waha against Henry Hub in USD/MMBtu.

Source and caveat

Last source update
The API latest-price response returns the current source timestamp for NATURAL_GAS_WAHA.
Cadence
Commodity price cadence by feed and market session; inspect the returned timestamp before use.
Caveat
Waha hub price and basis data are not real-time pipeline flow data and do not guarantee capacity availability.
