Bio Details

Our NGL pipeline system connects our gathering and processing positions throughout the Permian Basin, North Texas, and Southern Oklahoma (as well as third-party positions) to our fractionation and storage complex in the NGL market hub at Mont Belvieu, Texas. Our NGL pipeline system has the capacity to transport more than 1,000 MBbl/d of NGLs into Mont Belvieu.

Through our 50% ownership interest in Cayenne Pipeline, LLC (“Cayenne”), we operate the Cayenne pipeline, which transports mixed NGLs from VESCO in Venice, Louisiana, to an interconnection with a third-party NGL pipeline in Toca, Louisiana.

In response to increasing production and to meet the infrastructure needs of producers and our downstream customers, we are constructing Delaware Express, which is an expansion of our NGL pipeline system in the Permian Delaware. Delaware Express is expected to begin operations in the second quarter of 2026. Speedway, a new NGL pipeline, will transport NGLs from our existing assets and future plant additions in the Permian Basin to our fractionation and storage complex in Mont Belvieu, Texas. The project consists of approximately 500 miles of 30-inch diameter pipeline and associated infrastructure with an initial capacity of approximately 500 MBbl/d, expandable to 1,000 MBbl/d. Speedway is expected to begin operations in the third quarter of 2027.

Fractionation

After being extracted in the field, mixed NGLs are typically transported to a centralized facility for fractionation where the mixed NGLs are separated into discrete NGL products: ethane, ethane-propane mix, propane, normal butane, iso-butane and natural gasoline.

At our Mont Belvieu operated facility, we have nine wholly-owned fractionation trains, representing an aggregate capacity of 963.0 MBbl/d and Train 7, a 120 MBbl/d fractionation train, which is a joint venture between Targa and The Williams Companies, Inc., where Targa owns an 80% equity interest. Certain fractionation-related infrastructure for Train 7, such as storage caverns and brine handling, were funded and are owned 100% by Targa. Our fractionation trains are fully integrated with our existing Gulf Coast NGL storage, terminaling and delivery infrastructure, which includes an extensive network of connections to key petrochemical and industrial customers as well as our LPG export terminal at Galena Park on the Houston Ship Channel.

We are constructing Trains 11, 12 and 13, each a wholly-owned 150 MBbl/d fractionation train at our Mont Belvieu operated facility. Train 11, Train 12 and Train 13 are expected to begin operations in the second quarter of 2026, the first quarter of 2027 and the first quarter of 2028, respectively.

We additionally have a wholly-owned and operated fractionation facility in Lake Charles, Louisiana, representing a capacity of 55.0 MBbl/d.

We hold an equity investment in GCF, also located at Mont Belvieu. In January 2021, the GCF facility was temporarily idled. We assumed operatorship of GCF in the first half of 2021. In January 2023, we reached an agreement with our partners to reactivate GCF’s 135 MBbl/d fractionation facility. GCF commenced operations in the first quarter of 2025.

We also own fractionation assets in Monument, New Mexico, and Gillis, Louisiana, which are included in our Gathering and Processing segment. In addition, we have a natural gasoline hydrotreater at Mont Belvieu, Texas, with a capacity of 35.0 MBbl/d that removes sulfur from natural gasoline, allowing customers to meet stringent fuel content standards.

NGL Storage and Terminaling

In general, our NGL storage assets provide warehousing of mixed NGLs, NGL products and petrochemical products in underground wells, which allows for the injection and withdrawal of such products at various times in order to meet supply and demand cycles. Similarly, our terminaling operations provide the inbound/outbound logistics and warehousing of mixed NGLs, NGL products and petrochemical products in above-ground storage tanks. Our NGL underground storage and terminaling facilities serve single markets, such as propane, as well as multiple products and markets. For example, the Mont Belvieu and Galena Park facilities have extensive pipeline connections for mixed NGL supply and delivery of component NGLs, including our NGL pipeline system. In addition, some of our facilities are connected to marine, rail and truck loading and unloading facilities that provide services and products to our customers. We provide long and short-term storage and terminaling services and throughput capability to third-party customers for a fee.

Across the Logistics and Transportation segment, we own 35 storage wells at our facilities with a gross NGL storage capacity of approximately 81 MMBbl and operate seven non-owned wells. The usage of these wells may be limited by brine handling capacity, which is utilized to displace NGLs from storage.

We operate our storage and terminaling facilities to support our key fractionation facilities at Mont Belvieu and Lake Charles for receipt of mixed NGLs and storage of fractionated NGLs to service the petrochemical, refinery, export and heating customers/markets as well as our wholesale domestic terminals that focus on logistics to service the heating market customer base.
