As the delivery point for Henry Hub Natural Gas futures, the Henry Hub, located in Louisiana, is a nexus of several natural gas interconnections.

Here you will find interstate and intrastate pipelines, as well as other related infrastructure. Because of this level of interconnection, Henry Hub offers natural gas shippers and marketers’ ready access to pipelines serving markets across the entire United States.
