Asset management is core to our business philosophy as we rely on our transport and storage positions to provide reliable service to our customers.  In a similar fashion many end-users, utilities and producers acquire assets to connect their facilities to liquid trading points, to maintain reliability and to stabilize prices.  Often these assets are underutilized due to fluctuations in production, seasonality or the owners’ inability to flow natural gas supplies; this is where National Fuel Marketing can help.

 NFM is experienced in managing its own capacity as well as the capacity for some of its customers.  Through our assets and market participation we bring liquidity, credit, and risk management resources to the table at a variety of points across the US to actively optimize your transportation and storage assets.

Asset management programs can vary widely in their structure and care should be taken when contracting for these services as pipeline and FERC rules can make a difference.  NFM can offer sharing arrangements, capacity release, storage management and other arrangements to return capital costs to your stakeholders.
