History
editThe company name is the Cree word niska, meaning "Canada goose", indicating the company’s root as the Canadian developer of the first major trading point for natural gas in Alberta.[7]
In the early 2000s, the company acquired the former Manchester Gas Storage facility in Oklahoma, which was renamed Salt Plains Gas Storage, which is one of the three facilities that make up for AECO Hub. The company operated its business under the name, Niska Gas Storage, in 2006 when the natural gas storage business was acquired by Riverstone Holdings LLC. Four years later, the company launched an initial public offering[7]
