"Third quarter results were driven by curtailed volume returning to our system resulting in improved earnings," said Terry K. Spencer, ONEOK president and chief executive officer. "NGL volumes across all of our operating areas have exceeded pre-pandemic levels, and natural gas volumes processed in the Rocky Mountain region have exceeded 1.2 billion cubic feet per day. Volumes achieved in September were more in-line with our original pre-pandemic 2020 expectations.
