It conducts business through two distinct reporting segments: Gathering, Processing and Transportation and Logistics and Marketing. Its gathering, processing and transportation business includes natural gas and NGL gathering and transportation pipeline systems, natural gas processing and treating facilities, condensate stabilizers and an NGL fractionation facility. It gathers natural gas from the wellhead and central receipt points on its systems, deliver it to facilities for processing and treating and deliver the residue gas to intrastate or interstate pipelines for transmission to wholesale customers such as power plants, industrial customers and local distribution companies. It delivers the NGLs produced at its processing and fractionation facilities to intrastate and interstate pipelines for transportation to the NGL market hubs in Mont Belvieu, Texas and Conway, Kansas. In addition, it delivers NGLs from certain of its facilities to the Texas Express NGL system for transportation on the Texas Express NGL mainline to Mont Belvieu, Texas. The primary role of its logistics and marketing business is to provide marketing services of natural gas, NGLs and condensate received from its gathering, processing and transportation business.
