The El Paso, West Texas index is defined as: El Paso, West Texas (daily and monthly): Deliveries into El Paso Natural Gas in West Texas from two pools: the Waha plant south (Waha Pool), and the Keystone station south to Waha (Keystone Pool).

Plains Pool is not included in the index. Platts will continue to publish the existing El Paso, Permian Basin indices and will not make any changes to the methodology. The Waha, Keystone, and Plains Pools will continue to be included.

Platts launched the new monthly index starting today and will launch the daily index on January 31, 2019 for February 1 gas flow.
