Growth Strategy

Our growth strategy is to build an integrated business, not just collect assets. To accomplish this, we will:

Capitalize on expected increases in natural gas, NGL and oil production resulting from development activities in the Rocky Mountains, Midcontinent and U.S. Gulf Coast regions, including the Gulf of Mexico and Barnett Shale producing regions;
Capitalize on expected demand growth for natural gas, NGLs, crude oil and refined products;
Maintain a diversified portfolio of midstream energy assets and expand this asset base through growth capital projects and accretive acquisitions of complementary midstream energy assets;
Share capital costs and risks through joint ventures or alliances with strategic partners, including those that will provide the raw materials for these projects or purchase the projects' end products; and
Increase fee-based cash flows by investing in pipelines and other fee-based businesses.
