National Fuel Gas Company (NFG) is a multi-billion dollar integrated energy company with a history that dates back to over a century. Founded in 1902, the company is headquartered in Williamsville, New York, USA. NFG operates as a diversified energy organization involved in several aspects of the oil, gas, and power generation industries. It's among the earliest utilities in the United States, setting the standard for reliable energy supply and exceptional customer service to over 740,000 customers.
Across its diversified business segments, National Fuel Gas Co has strengths that spread across exploration and production, pipeline and storage, gathering, utility, and energy marketing. It has an extensive network that stretches across approximately 30,000 miles of pipeline, with notable robust operations in the Appalachian region, including the prolific Marcellus Shale.
Its Exploration and Production operations are carried out in California and in the Appalachian region through Seneca Resources Company, LLC. NFG’s operations in these regions involve seeking, developing, and producing natural gas and oil reserves.
When it comes to the Pipeline and Storage segment, the company owns an integrated gas pipeline system that extends over 2,500 miles from Southwestern Pennsylvania to almost the Canadian border in the Eastern United States, transporting both its own and third-party natural gas.
On the other hand, through the utility arm, National Fuel Gas Distribution Corporation, the company sells or transports natural gas to its customers in upstate New York and Pennsylvania. Equally, it has an Energy Marketing segment through National Fuel Resources, Inc., which markets natural gas to industrial, commercial, public authorities, and residential end users in upstate New York.
NFG also boasts of its Gathering segment through Empire Pipeline Inc., which constructs and maintains gathering pipelines and compressor stations that gather natural gas from the Marcellus Shale region and transports to local distribution companies, utilities, and other pipelines.
Through its operations, National Fuel Gas Co has demonstrated its commitment to operational excellence, environmental responsibility, customer service, and community involvement. Unsurprisingly, it has sought to adapt its practices to be more sustainable and to reduce the environmental impact of its operations.
Whether it's their role as a reliable utility operator, an efficient energy provider, or their commitment to the communities in which they operate, National Fuel Gas Co continues to prove why it has been a mainstay in the American energy sector for over a century.
