How Does Natural Gas Get To Your Home or Business?
Natural Gas Wells
- Sourced in North America for North America
- Gas supply comes from wells and pumps that bring it to the surface
Compressor Station
- Once pumped, the gas is collected and compressed at a compressor station before it moves on to the transmission lines
Transmission Line
- Gas is then sent to Maine by an interstate transmission pipeline
Metering Station
- Summit Natural gas receives the gas via the metering station where gas is temporarily stored for transportation to regulator stations
- Steel transmission pipelines are then used to transport gas to regulator stations
Regulator Station
- Once at the regulator station, gas pressure to distribution mains is reduced
- Distribution mains are made with safe plastic and are installed in our service areas for distribution
Customer Delivery
