Williams

An energy infrastructure company that owns and operates natural gas pipelines, as well as gathering and processing assets. The company's core business is focused on connecting the best natural gas supplies to the best markets. Williams' operations are primarily located in the United States, and its customers include a wide range of entities, from large utility companies to local distribution companies and industrial users.

The company's business model is fee-based, meaning it generates revenue by charging fees for the use of its pipelines and processing facilities. This model provides a stable and predictable stream of cash flow, as it is not directly exposed to commodity price fluctuations. Williams also has a significant presence in the deepwater Gulf of Mexico, where it is one of the largest gatherers and processors of natural gas.
