According to the U.S. Department of Transportation, the natural gas delivery system has the best safety record of any energy delivery system. Between 1986 and 2004, the amount of natural gas traveling through distribution pipelines increased by one-third, and more than 650,000 miles of pipeline were added across the country. Yet, the number of reportable incidents on distribution pipelines decreased by 28 percent. Atmos Energy and other natural gas utilities safely and reliably deliver natural gas to 69 million customers.

We have substantial operations in various other plays, both conventional and unconventional in the Mid-Continent, Appalachian Basin, Permian Basin, Delaware Basin, South Texas, Texas Gulf Coast and East Texas regions of the U.S.

It's easy to take energy for granted. Just flip a switch and your lights go on. The wonders of modern technology mean that, most of the time, electricity and natural gas are as safe as they are convenient.
