AltaGas' Gas business touches more than 2 Bcf/d of natural gas and includes natural gas gathering and processing, natural gas liquids (NGLs) extraction and fractionation, transmission and storage. Gas gathering systems move natural gas from producing wells to processing facilities where impurities and certain hydrocarbon components are removed. The gas is then compressed to meet downstream pipelines’ operating specifications for transportation. Extraction and field fractionation facilities reprocess natural gas to extract and recover ethane and NGLs. AltaGas owns 1.6 Bcf/d of extraction processing capacity and 1.2 Bcf/d of raw gas processing capacity.
Transmission pipelines deliver natural gas and NGLs to distribution systems, end-users or other downstream pipelines. AltaGas uses its market knowledge and expertise to create value by providing energy consulting and supply management services to non-residential end-users, buys and resells energy, provides gas transportation, storage and gas marketing for producers and sources gas supply to some of the processing assets. The Gas business also includes several expansion and greenfield projects under development and construction.
