While marketing and supplying natural gas, liquid fuels, and electricity to customer locations across the Mid-Atlantic and Northeastern US is a huge part of our business, that is not all we do! UGIES Midstream Services' is busy behind the scenes making serving our customers and end users possible. At UGIES, our Midstream Services group connects producers, distributors, and marketers with the assets and services they need. You may be surprised to learn how much infrastructure we have backing our business - stay tuned to learn more!
Here we will provide a brief breakdown of each of our assets. This information can also be found on our Midstream Services page.
We have four Liquefied natural gas or LNG facilities in our asset portfolio. LNG is natural gas that has been cooled to -260°F at normal air pressure at which point it becomes a liquid. This allows the gas to be safely transported via truck or rail to industrial users as a replacement option for propane or fuel oil and is also used as a diesel alternative in on-road trucks and mining vehicles. LNG can also help power the oil field service, marine, and rail sectors. Our LNG facilities, all located in PA, allow for peak shaving, storage, liquefaction activities, and LNG tanker-truck loading and unloading.
