Its NGL infrastructure includes a broad network of gathering and distribution pipelines across Oklahoma, Kansas, Texas, New Mexico, Montana, North Dakota, Wyoming, and Colorado. Additionally, NGL terminal and storage assets are maintained in Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska, Iowa, and Illinois.

The company's substantial physical footprint comprises approximately 17,500 miles of natural gas gathering pipelines, 1,500 miles of FERC-regulated interstate natural gas pipelines, and 5,100 miles of state-regulated intrastate transmission pipelines. The NGL segment benefits from six storage facilities and eight product terminals. Separately, ONEOK also owns and leases a parking garage and excess office space in downtown Tulsa, Oklahoma. ONEOK serves a wide and varied customer base throughout the energy sector.
