Description: WMB Williams Companies
Williams Companies, Inc. (NYSE: WMB) is a U.S.-based energy infrastructure firm that owns and operates roughly 33,000 miles of interstate natural-gas pipelines, storage facilities, and midstream processing assets across four operating segments: Transmission & Gulf of America, Northeast G&P, West, and Gas & NGL Marketing Services.
The Transmission & Gulf of America segment includes the Transco, Northwest Pipeline (NWP), and MountainWest pipelines, plus associated storage and crude-oil handling assets on the Gulf Coast. The Northeast G&P segment focuses on gathering, processing, and fractionation in the Marcellus and Utica shales, while the West segment covers a broad geographic footprint-Rocky Mountains, Barnett, Eagle Ford, Haynesville, Permian, and DJ Basin-plus NGL fractionation and storage in central Kansas.
The Gas & NGL Marketing Services segment provides wholesale marketing, trading, storage, and transportation of natural gas and NGLs for utilities, municipalities, power generators, and producers, and also offers asset-management services.
Key performance indicators (KPIs) from the most recent fiscal year (2023) show adjusted EBITDA of $5.2 billion, a pipeline utilization rate of ≈ 78 % across the core interstate system, and a net realized natural-gas price of $2.75 per MMBtu, reflecting the ongoing impact of seasonal demand and modest supply-side constraints. The company’s cash-flow generation remains heavily tied to the broader natural-gas price cycle and to the growth of NGL demand driven by petrochemical feedstock needs.
Sector-wide, the oil-and-gas storage & transportation sub-industry is currently benefitting from two macro trends: (1) elevated natural-gas inventories that support higher take-or-pay contracts, and (2) a resurgence in NGL demand as global petrochemical capacity expands, both of which can boost fee-based revenue for midstream operators like Williams.
