NATURAL GAS
MIDSTREAM
The midstream natural gas segment is the link between the exploration and production of natural gas and the delivery of its components to end-use markets. The midstream segment consists of natural gas gathering, compression, treating, processing, storage, and transportation, and is generally characterized by regional competition based on the proximity of gathering systems and processing plants to natural gas producing wells and the proximity of storage facilities to production areas and end-use markets.
Ark-La-Tex Region
Six natural gas processing plants with aggregate capacity of 0.9 billion cubic feet per day (Bcf/d).
Our Northern Louisiana assets are comprised of several gathering systems in the Haynesville Shale with access to multiple markets through interconnects with several pipelines, including our Tiger Pipeline. Our Northern Louisiana assets include the Bistineau, Creedence, and Tristate Systems, which collectively include 12 natural gas treating facilities with aggregate capacity of 3.4 Bcf/d.
The Ark-La-Tex assets gather, compress, treat and dehydrate natural gas in several parishes in north and west Louisiana, and several counties in East Texas. These assets also include cryogenic natural gas processing facilities, a refrigeration plant, a conditioning plant, amine treating plants, a residue gas pipeline that provides market access for natural gas from our processing plants, including connections with pipelines that provide access to the Perryville Hub and other markets in the Gulf Coast region, and a NGL pipeline that provides connections to the Mont Belvieu market for NGLs produced from our processing plants. Collectively, the six natural gas processing facilities (Dubach, Lincoln, Rosewood, Sligo, Waskom and Mt. Olive) have an aggregate capacity of 0.9 Bcf/d.
Through the gathering and processing systems described above and their interconnections with our intrastate transportation pipelines, we offer producers wellhead-to-market services, including natural gas gathering, compression, processing, treating and transportation.
