Oklahoma Natural Gas

What Oklahoma Natural Gas does

Oklahoma Natural Gas is a regulated natural gas distribution utility and a division of ONE Gas, Inc. (NYSE: OGS), serving approximately 931,000 residential, commercial, and industrial customers across Oklahoma. Founded in 1906 and headquartered in Oklahoma City, the company operates and maintains 20,400 miles of distribution and transmission pipelines, with a workforce of roughly 2,000 employees based in Oklahoma. It is the largest natural gas distributor in the state, operating under regulatory oversight from the Oklahoma Corporation Commission.

The company's core offering is natural gas distribution, complemented by a portfolio of adjacent programs: voluntary fixed-price and average payment billing options, energy efficiency rebates, multi-family and builder incentives, transportation services for large commercial and industrial customers, assistance programs (LIHEAP, Share The Warmth), a Voluntary Renewable Natural Gas (RNG) pilot, and partner-enabled offerings including home warranties (Oncourse Home Solutions) and natural gas backup generators (Generator Supercenter of Oklahoma). Underlying technology includes Pipeline Integrity Management, Excess Flow Valves for safety shutoff, cost-of-gas pass-through billing, temperature-based bill adjustment, and a mobile app for customer self-service.

Oklahoma Natural Gas generates revenue through a regulated two-part tariff structure: a fixed monthly Service Charge plus a usage-based Delivery Charge, alongside a pass-through commodity cost-of-gas component collected without markup. Supplementary revenue streams include optional subscription programs (fixed-price plans, RNG blocks), affiliate referral fees (home warranty, generators), per-unit rebates and reimbursements to builders and developers, and transportation/delivery fees from commercial and industrial customers sourcing gas from third-party suppliers. Customer acquisition occurs through direct utility relationships, the Builders Hub portal, a dedicated business development team, and community partnerships, with service delivered via the existing regulated pipeline footprint.

Revenue model

1. Natural Gas Distribution Services: Regulated utility providing natural gas distribution to 931,000 residential, commercial, and industrial customers in Oklahoma. Revenue comes from two primary components: (1) the cost of gas (what the company pays for natural gas, passed through to customers with no markup), and (2) cost of service including Service Charge and Delivery Charge to recover fixed costs of providing service including bill processing, meter reading, maintenance, and customer service. The company also offers optional programs including Voluntary Fixed-Price Program and RNG purchases.
2. Home Protection Program Administration: Oncourse Home Solutions offers optional home warranty protection plans to Oklahoma Natural Gas customers. While Oncourse is an independent third-party provider, Oklahoma Natural Gas facilitates billing through the utility bill for participating customers, with charges appearing as separate line items.
3. Backup Generator Program Referrals: Partnership with Generator Supercenter of Oklahoma offering natural gas whole-home generators to customers. Oklahoma Natural Gas provides referrals through the program page, though Generator Supercenter handles all installation, servicing, and billing independently.
4. Transportation Services: Commercial and industrial customers using over 900 DTH/year can work directly with third-party natural gas suppliers to purchase gas delivered through Oklahoma Natural Gas pipelines. The company earns transportation and delivery fees for providing pipeline access and specialized billing services.
