In addition to the geographical components, this map offers a combination of the industry's key structural components in striking detail – from the source region, to the pipeline, to the processing plant to the delivery terminal. Utilizing specialized data from Platts analytics unit Bentek Energy, cartographers also have pinpointed industry-critical information and charts on such as the following:
- Existing and planned NGL pipelines
- NGL storage facilities
- NGL fractionators
- Steam crackers
- Gas processing plants
- The five U.S. Petroleum Administration for Defense Districts (PADD regions)
For convenient reference, representation of NGL pipelines are color-coded and labeled by system and pipeline name. Shale play regions are color-coded by primary extraction source. Detailed insets depict major NGL production hubs in the Texas cities of Dallas/Fort Worth and Mont Belvieu as well as Baton Rouge, Louisiana. An inset of Midland, Texas, illustrates the Permian Basin, a sedimentary basin in the southwestern part of the U.S. which is a key producer of oil and gas.
