Frequently Asked Questions

Targa Resources operates in two primary segments: Gathering and Processing, and Logistics and Transportation (Downstream Business). The Gathering and Processing segment handles natural gas and crude oil gathering, processing, and related services. The Logistics and Transportation segment focuses on NGL transportation, storage, fractionation, and marketing, including LPG exports. Both segments are crucial for generating revenue through fee-based services and commodity sales.

Targa's growth strategy centers on expanding its midstream infrastructure to meet increasing producer needs. This involves constructing new natural gas processing plants and NGL fractionation trains, particularly in high-growth areas like the Permian Basin. The company also pursues strategic acquisitions and joint ventures to enhance its asset portfolio and market reach.

Targa employs a combination of fee-based contracts and commodity hedging activities to manage price volatility. A significant portion of its revenue is derived from fees that are not directly tied to commodity prices. For its 'equity volumes,' which do have commodity price exposure, the company utilizes derivative instruments like swaps and options to hedge against adverse price movements, thereby stabilizing cash flows.

Targa is committed to returning capital to shareholders. The company has increased its quarterly common dividend and has active share repurchase programs in place. These capital allocation decisions are made considering its financial condition, cash flow generation, and strategic investment opportunities, while maintaining a strong credit profile.
