What is natural gas processing? It’s similar to the gas gathering process, in that, the gathered gas can’t stay in the gathering lines. It has to be moved to a processing facility, to a larger transmission system, to storage or a shipping point. Much of the gas that comes from the ground in not ready …
Some days you need that extra cup of coffee or that extra five minutes to get to work on time. And today, we celebrate that once every four years extra day added to our February calendar, known as Leap Year. But in a life full of “extras” what are some extra benefits of natural gas? …
One Survey Detects Methane Plume Due to Planned Maintenance Event In April 2015, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) conducted studies of methane anomalies in the San Juan Basin in the Four Corners region. NASA and NOAA conducted the studies to dig deeper into images from …
Sand. Surf. And, of course, Disney World. Florida is a popular place. More than 20 million people now call it home, according to the U.S. Census.

We’re proud to announce the startup of our new offgas processing plant in Alberta. The offgas processing that Williams pioneered significantly reduces emissions at its customers’ oil sands production facilities and adds value by upgrading the mixed stream into the more valuable liquid components selling them to the market. Once full operating capacity is achieved at …
Construction is wrapping up on a Williams natural gas pipeline lateral designed to fuel a new electric power generating facility in Cecil County, Md., by August 2016. Construction began in September on the Rock Springs pipeline project, which involves the construction of an 11.2-mile pipeline lateral connecting Williams’ existing Transco natural gas pipeline to the Old Dominion Electric Cooperative’s Wildcat Point Generating Facility. …
Pennsylvania welding inspector Brandon Oltra talks about how local contractors benefit from pipeline infrastructure installation in his home state.
