Targa Resources Corp (NYSE: TRGP) is a midstream energy infrastructure company that gathers, compresses, treats, processes, transports, and sells natural gas, natural gas liquids (NGLs), and crude oil across domestic markets. Revenue comes from fee-based midstream services and commodity purchase-and-sale transactions across two segments: Gathering and Processing, and Logistics and Transportation. Targa was formed as a Delaware corporation in October 2005 and operates one of the larger independent midstream infrastructure networks in North America, with concentrated assets in the Permian Basin and Gulf Coast. The Logistics and Transportation segment includes fractionation facilities, storage, NGL pipelines, and the Galena Park Marine Terminal, which serves LPG exporters. Targa describes its fractionation assets as among the largest along the Gulf Coast. The company carries a debt-heavy capital structure, with multiple senior unsecured note issuances including $2.0 billion in February 2025 and $1.5 billion in June 2025, and is actively expanding capacity through new processing plants and the Speedway NGL Pipeline project announced in September 2025.
