Midstream
The Midstream segment serves customers primarily in the Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin and transacts more than 2 billion cubic feet (57 million cubic metres) per day of natural gas. It transfers gas to its customers from wellhead to tidewater and beyond. The Midstream segment expanded its customer base in 2011 after its purchase of Pacific Northern Gas Ltd for $146.1 million. The acquisition was part of the move to capitalize on increased exploration activity in western Canada. The division serves many purposes including natural gas gathering and processing, natural gas liquids extraction and separation, transmission pipelines delivery for both gas and liquids, storage and marketing. As part of its Midstream expansion strategy, AltaGas concluded a deal with Birchcliff Energy for a long-term natural gas processing arrangement in 2018. It also entered into a joint venture with a privately held producer in the Montney shale play to construct a deep-cut natural gas processing facility.
