As detailed in the link, Koch Pipeline is making money transporting natural gas.

Their Flint Hills Resources subsidiary is shipping natural gas from piers.

Koch Supply & Trading is doing commodity trading with natural gas.

Koch Chemical Technology Group is designing natural gas processing facilities.

John Zink, a Koch Industries company, is providing flares for natural gas processing plants.

Georgia Pacific, a Koch subsidiary, is producing resins that are used in fracking.

The Kochs have also poured a ton of money into the "Energy for America" campaign that has flooded TV news shows with commercials of a woman talking about how we all need to let the energy companies do whatever they want. Energy for America is also part of a PR campaign that is trying to discredit the new movie "Gasland II".
