Members of the upstream segment explore for and extract crude oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids (NGLs). Crude oil and NGLs are used as feedstocks to produce fuels and petrochemicals, and in some cases directly as sources of energy and natural gas is used as a source of energy.
The midstream segment moves and stores feedstocks and finished products — including fuels, natural gas, natural gas liquids and petrochemical products — using an integrated system of pipelines, ports and waterways, railroads, roadways and storage facilities.
The downstream segment encompasses refineries and petrochemical manufacturing facilities that process crude oil and natural gas liquids into finished products. There are 131 operable refineries in the United States that manufacture essential energy products, including gasoline, diesel and jet fuel.
