Yes, Enbridge owns and develops a limited number of its own natural gas reserves, but this is a small component of their overall business, which is primarily focused on transportation (midstream).
Key Aspects of Enbridge's Operations:
Production/Development: Through its ownership of Questar Gas and its related Wexpro companies (acquired in 2023), Enbridge develops and produces its own natural gas reserves from over 1,200 active wells in Wyoming, Utah, and Colorado. This allows them to supply gas directly to their utility customers.
Primary Business: Enbridge is mainly a midstream company, operating the world's longest and most complex crude oil and liquids transportation system, transporting 30% of the crude oil produced in North America.
Offshore Assets: In the U.S. Gulf of Mexico, Enbridge owns and operates significant offshore infrastructure, including natural gas gathering pipelines and oil pipelines that connect to deepwater developments.
Acquisitions: In 2023, Enbridge acquired three natural gas utilities from Dominion Energy (East Ohio Gas, Questar Gas, and Public Service Co. of North Carolina), making them the largest natural gas utility franchise in North America.
While they do not engage in widespread oil field exploration like a traditional upstream company, their acquisition of Wexpro means they do develop specific, regulated natural gas resources to fuel their utility customers.
