Natural Gas Transmission

Natural Gas Transmission

The Natural Gas Transmission industry, classified under SIC 4922, operates high-capacity interstate and intrastate pipeline networks that move natural gas from production basins and storage fields to local distribution companies, power generators, industrial users, and LNG export terminals. Core services include firm and interruptible transportation, storage, and balancing, often under long-term, take-or-pay contracts that support stable cash flows. Key customers are utilities, merchant power plants, large manufacturers, and energy marketers. Operators face substantial risks from pipeline integrity issues, environmental and safety rules enforced by FERC, PHMSA, and the EPA, evolving climate policy, permitting delays, cyber threats, and interest rate volatility affecting capital-intensive expansion projects. In 2024–2025, the sector is shaped by growing LNG export demand, modernization of aging infrastructure, methane reduction initiatives, and early experimentation with hydrogen and low-carbon gas blends.
