It is the first time in ages that William Companies Inc (NYSE:WMB) has seen this opportunity to build a support infrastructure for the super cycle of natural gas industry.  However, the cycle is not moving as predicted, for the supply in a lot of regions is far greater than the demand. That said, it is no doubt creating some unique opportunities for the suppliers to capture some value while they are disconnected from the market.
