WIGA Transport Beteiligungs-GmbH & Co. KG (WIGA) is a joint venture of Wintershall Dea AG, Germany, and SEFE Securing Energy for Europe GmbH, Germany.
GAZPROM and Wintershall Dea joined forces more than 30 years ago to expand the position of the energy source natural gas in the European market. The transport of natural gas through pipelines will continue to be of great importance for Europe's security of supply in the future. Both partners have contributed in material ways to creating the transport systems needed to achieve that.
WIGA operates as holding company for the joint transport activities and primarily takes on financing and reporting responsibilities for the companies of the WIGA Group. WIGA's subsidiaries – GASCADE Gastransport GmbH, OPAL Gastransport GmbH & Co. KG and NEL Gastransport GmbH – operate independently under the umbrella of the holding company.

Located at the heart of Europe and connected not only to the major transit lines from Russia and the North Sea but also to the European natural-gas trading points, GASCADE’S infrastructure has become a hub for European gas transport. In 2019, the transported volume of gas was about 54 billion cubic meters.
