Natural Gas Pipelines & Services
Our Natural Gas Pipelines & Services segment includes approximately 9,174 miles of natural gas gathering and transmission pipeline systems in Texas and Louisiana. We also lease natural gas storage facilities located in Texas and Louisiana that are integral components of these systems. This segment’s assets include our Texas Intrastate System, Acadian Gas System and Big Thicket Gathering System.
The Texas Intrastate System gathers and transports natural gas from supply basins in Texas (from both onshore and offshore sources) to local gas distribution companies and electric generation and industrial and municipal consumers as well as to connections with intrastate and interstate pipelines. The Texas Intrastate System is comprised of the 6,547-mile Enterprise Texas pipeline system, the 641-mile Channel pipeline system, the 465-mile Waha gathering system and the 207-mile TPC gathering system.
The Acadian Gas System is an onshore natural gas pipeline that purchases, transports, stores and markets natural gas in Louisiana. The Acadian Gas System links natural gas supplies from onshore and offshore Gulf of Mexico developments (including offshore pipelines, continental shelf and deepwater production) with local gas distribution companies, electric generation plants and industrial customers, including those in the Baton Rouge-New Orleans-Mississippi River corridor. The system is comprised of the 577-mile Cypress pipeline, the 438-mile Acadian pipeline and the 27-mile Evangeline pipeline.
