Kinder Morgan, Inc., the 10-K for 2025

Kinder Morgan owns and operates energy infrastructure: pipelines that move natural gas, refined petroleum products, crude oil, condensate, carbon dioxide and renewable fuels, and terminals that store and handle gasoline, diesel, jet fuel, chemicals, petroleum coke, metals, ethanol and other renewable fuels and feedstocks. At the end of 2025 it owned an interest in or operated approximately 78,000 miles of pipeline, 136 terminals, approximately 706 Bcf of working natural gas storage and renewable natural gas generation capacity of approximately 6.9 Bcf a year of gross production. The company describes itself as one of the largest energy infrastructure companies in North America. There are four business segments: Natural Gas Pipelines, Products Pipelines, Terminals and CO2.

Natural Gas Pipelines

The largest segment, covering interstate and intrastate transportation, storage, processing and treating. The filing states the market is highly competitive, with new pipelines, storage, treating facilities and related services being built to serve domestic and export demand, and names location, rates, terms of service, flexibility, the availability of alternative energy and reliability as the principal elements of competition. Several joint ventures sit inside the segment, including Bear Creek Storage, WYCO and the Liberty pipeline, along with partly owned lines such as Utopia and Cypress, each half owned.

Products Pipelines

Refined petroleum products transportation, where profitability turns on the volume moved and the rates charged, along with the liquids terminals attached to those lines and a transmix business that reprocesses mixed product streams. Competition comes from proprietary pipelines and terminals owned by major oil companies, other independent pipelines and terminals, trucking and marine firms on short hauls, and for transmix from refineries owned by the majors and independent transmix plants.

Terminals

Refined product, chemical, renewable fuel and other liquid terminals outside the products pipelines segment, plus all the bulk terminals, which handle petroleum coke, metals and ores. The terminals sit mainly near large American cities, and the filing puts their location and the flexibility offered to customers forward as what attracts and keeps business. Services include short-term product storage, truck loading, vapour handling, additive and dye injection and ethanol blending. The segment also owns Jones Act-qualified product tankers carrying crude oil, condensate, refined products and renewable fuel between American ports.

CO2

This segment produces, transports and markets carbon dioxide used in enhanced oil recovery, where it is pumped into mature oil fields to flush out crude. The company also owns and operates oil and gas producing fields and renewable natural gas, liquefied natural gas and landfill gas-to-energy facilities. Its carbon dioxide pipelines let it sell supply and transportation as a package. One example of the oil side is the Diamond M field expansion, whose first phase entered service in October 2024, with the second and third phases expected in 2026 and peak production of approximately 5,400 barrels a day expected in 2027.

Recent deals

In February 2025 the company completed the purchase of a natural gas gathering and processing system in North Dakota from Outrigger Energy II for $648 million, including a 0.27 Bcf/d processing plant and a 104-mile large-diameter high-pressure gathering header with 0.35 Bcf/d of capacity connecting Williston Basin supply to demand markets. In December 2025 it sold its 25 percent non-operated interest in EagleHawk for $382 million.

Strategy and people

The stated strategy is to focus on stable, fee-based transportation and storage assets central to growing North American markets or to American exports, raise utilisation of existing assets while controlling costs and operating safely, keep discipline in capital allocation, use economies of scale through expansions and acquisitions, and keep its finances in good order while returning value to stockholders. The company employed 11,028 full-time people at the end of 2025, including approximately 867 full-time hourly staff at certain terminals and pipelines covered by collective bargaining agreements expiring between 2026 and 2029. Safety is managed through an operations management system, with performance measured on the recordable incident rate defined by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, counting recordable workplace incidents per 100 full-time employees a year.
