$300,000,000 7.150% Notes due 2051

We are offering $600,000,000 aggregate principal amount of our 5.850% notes due 2026 (the "2026 notes"), $600,000,000 aggregate principal amount of our 6.350% notes
due 2031 (the "2031 notes") and $300,000,000 aggregate principal amount of our 7.150% notes due 2051 (the "2051 notes"). In this prospectus supplement, the term "notes"
collectively refers to the 2026 notes, the 2031 notes and the 2051 notes.
The 2026 notes will bear interest at the rate of 5.850% per year and will mature on January 15, 2026. The 2031 notes will bear interest at the rate of 6.350% per year and
will mature on January 15, 2031. The 2051 notes will bear interest at the rate of 7.150% per year and will mature on January 15, 2051. Interest on the notes is payable on
January 15 and July 15 of each year, beginning on July 15, 2020. Interest on the notes will accrue from May 7, 2020. We may redeem the 2026 notes, the 2031 notes and the 2051

indebtedness and other obligations of our subsidiaries that do not guarantee the notes.

Table of Contents
This document is in two parts. The first part is this prospectus supplement, which describes the specific terms of this offering. The second part is the
accompanying base prospectus, which gives more general information, some of which may not apply to this offering of notes. Generally, when we refer
only to the "prospectus," we are referring to both parts combined. If information varies between this prospectus supplement and the accompanying base
prospectus, you should rely on the information in this prospectus supplement.
Any statement made in this prospectus supplement, the accompanying base prospectus or in a document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated
by reference into this prospectus supplement or the accompanying base prospectus will be deemed to be modified or superseded for purposes of this
prospectus supplement to the extent that a statement contained in this prospectus supplement, the accompanying base prospectus or in any other
subsequently filed document that is also incorporated by reference into this prospectus supplement modifies or supersedes that statement. Any statement so
modified or superseded will not be deemed, except as so modified or superseded, to constitute a part of this prospectus supplement or the accompanying
base prospectus. Please read "Where You Can Find More Information" and "Incorporation by Reference" in this prospectus supplement and the
accompanying base prospectus.
We have not, and the underwriters have not, authorized any dealer or other person to give any information or to make any representation
other than those contained or incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying base prospectus or in any free
writing prospectus prepared by or on behalf of us or to which we have referred you. This prospectus supplement and the accompanying base
prospectus do not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any securities other than the registered securities to which they
relate, nor do this prospectus supplement or the accompanying base prospectus constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy
securities in any jurisdiction to any person to whom it is unlawful to make such offer or solicitation in such jurisdiction. You should not assume
that the information contained in this prospectus supplement or the accompanying base prospectus or in any free writing prospectus is accurate
on any date other than the respective date of such document.
Delivery of the notes will be made against payment therefor on or about the date specified in the last paragraph of the cover page of this
prospectus supplement, which will be the third business day following the date of pricing (such settlement being referred to as "T+3"). Pursuant
to Rule 15c6-1 under the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), trades in the secondary market are generally
required to settle in two business days, unless the parties to any such trade expressly agree otherwise. Accordingly, purchasers who wish to trade
notes on the day of pricing will be required, by virtue of the fact that the notes will initially settle in T+3, to specify an alternate settlement
arrangement at the time of any such trade to prevent a failed settlement.
For the purposes of this section, all references to Regulations or Directives include, in relation to the United Kingdom ("UK"), those Regulations or
Directives as they form part of UK domestic law by virtue of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 or have been implemented in UK domestic law,
as appropriate.
Prohibition of Sales to European Economic Area ("EEA") and UK Retail Investors--The notes are not intended to be offered, sold or otherwise
made available to and should not be offered, sold or otherwise made available to any retail investor in the EEA or the UK. For these purposes, a retail
investor means a person who is one (or more) of: (i) a retail client as defined in point (11) of Article 4 (1) of Directive 2014/65/EU (as amended, "MiFID
II"); or (ii) a customer within the meaning of Directive (EU) 2016/97 (as amended, the "IDD"), where that customer would not qualify as a professional
client as defined in point (10) of Article 4(1) of MiFID II; or (iii) not a qualified investor as defined in the Prospectus Regulation. Consequently no key
information document required by Regulation (EU) No 1286/2014 (as amended, the "PRIIPs Regulation") for offering or selling the notes or otherwise
making them available to retail investors in the EEA or the UK has been prepared and therefore offering or selling the notes or otherwise making them
available to any retail investor in the EEA or the UK may be unlawful under the PRIIPs Regulation.

Guarantees
The notes will be fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, on an

Ranking
The notes will be senior unsecured obligations and will rank equally with all of our other
existing and future unsecured senior debt and ONEOK Partners' existing and future
unsecured senior debt that we guarantee. The notes will be structurally subordinated to all
indebtedness and liabilities of our subsidiaries that do not guarantee the notes. As of the issue
date, only ONEOK Partners and the Intermediate Partnership will guarantee the notes. As of
https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/909281/000119312520134064/d899396d424b5.htm[5/6/2020 8:44:58 AM]

424B5
March 31, 2020, after giving effect to this offering, we and the guarantors would have had
approximately $14.5 billion of indebtedness. Assuming we had completed this offering on
March 31, 2020, after giving effect to the application of the net proceeds as described in "Use
of Proceeds" in this prospectus supplement, the notes and the guarantees would have been
structurally subordinated to approximately $19.4 million of outstanding indebtedness of our
non-guarantor subsidiaries.

The guarantee of the notes by ONEOK Partners and the Intermediate Partnership will be
senior unsecured obligations of ONEOK Partners and the Intermediate Partnership and will
rank equally with their guarantees of our $2.5 billion revolving credit agreement, our
$1.5 billion term loan facility, our approximately $8.9 billion of notes outstanding (excluding
the notes offered hereby), our $2.5 billion commercial paper program and certain of our
existing and future unsecured senior debt. The guarantee of the notes by ONEOK Partners

will also rank equally with its existing $4.1 billion of senior notes outstanding and certain of
its existing and future unsecured senior debt. Additionally, the guarantee of the notes by the
Intermediate Partnership will rank equally with its existing guarantee of ONEOK Partners'
outstanding senior notes and any unsecured senior debt that the Intermediate Partnership may
guarantee in the future. ONEOK Partners' and the Intermediate Partnership's guarantees will
be structurally subordinated to all indebtedness of our other subsidiaries that do not
guarantee the notes.

Table of Contents
Covenants
We will issue the notes under an indenture that contains covenants for your benefit. The
covenants restrict our ability, with certain exceptions, to:

· merge or consolidate with another entity or transfer all or substantially all of our property

and assets;

· incur liens; and

· enter into sale and leaseback transactions.

The indenture will not limit the amount of unsecured debt we or our subsidiaries may incur.
The indenture restricts our and certain of our subsidiaries' ability to incur secured

indebtedness (subject to certain exceptions) unless the same security is also provided for the
benefit of holders of the notes.

Use of Proceeds
We estimate the net proceeds from this offering, after deducting underwriting discounts and
our estimated offering expenses, will be approximately $1.48 billion. We anticipate using the
net proceeds from this offering to repay all outstanding borrowings under our term loan
facility and for general corporate purposes, which may include the repayment of other
existing indebtedness and the funding of capital expenditures. See "Use of Proceeds."

Further Issues
We may, at any time, without notice to or consent of the holders of the 2026 notes, the 2031
notes or the 2051 notes, create and issue further notes ranking equally and ratably in all
respects with the 2026 notes, the 2031 notes or the 2051 notes, as applicable, so that such
further notes will be consolidated and form a single series with the 2026 notes, the 2031
notes or the 2051 notes, as applicable, with the same terms as the applicable series of notes.
See "Description of Notes--Further Issues."

Conflicts of Interest
Certain of the underwriters and/or their affiliates are lenders under our $1.5 billion term loan
facility, lenders under our $2.5 billion revolving credit agreement and holders under our
$2.5 billion commercial paper program. As described in "Use of Proceeds," we anticipate
that the net proceeds of this offering will be used to repay all outstanding borrowings under
https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/909281/000119312520134064/d899396d424b5.htm[5/6/2020 8:44:58 AM]

424B5
our $1.5 billion term loan facility. Because more than 5% of the proceeds of this offering, not
including underwriting discounts and commissions, may be received by certain of the
underwriters and/or their affiliates, this offering is being conducted in compliance with the
requirements of FINRA Rule 5121, as administered by FINRA. Accordingly, the
underwriters will not confirm any sales to any account over which it exercises discretionary
authority without the specific written approval of the account holder. Pursuant to FINRA
Rule 5121, the appointment of a qualified independent underwriter is not necessary in
connection with this offering.

RISK FACTORS
An investment in the notes involves risks. You should carefully consider all of the information contained in this prospectus supplement, the
accompanying base prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference into this prospectus supplement and the accompanying base prospectus as
provided under "Where You Can Find More Information," including our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 and our
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2020 and the risk factors described under "Risk Factors" therein. This prospectus
supplement, the accompanying base prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference into this prospectus supplement and the accompanying base
prospectus also contain forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Please read "Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking
Statements" in this prospectus supplement and in the accompanying base prospectus. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in
such forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, including the risks described elsewhere in this prospectus supplement, the accompanying
base prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference into this prospectus supplement and the accompanying base prospectus. If any of these risks
occur, our business, financial condition or results of operation could be adversely affected.
Risks Related to the Notes
Our indebtedness and guarantee obligations could impair our financial condition and our ability to fulfill our obligations, including our obligations
under the notes.
As of March 31, 2020, prior to giving effect to this offering, we had total consolidated indebtedness of approximately $14.3 billion (exclusive of
unamortized debt issuance costs and discounts). See "Capitalization."
Our indebtedness and guarantee obligations could have significant consequences to you. For example, they could:

·
make it more difficult for us to satisfy our obligations with respect to the notes and our other indebtedness due to the increased debt-service

obligations, which could, in turn, result in an event of default on such other indebtedness or the notes;

·
impair our ability to obtain additional financing in the future for working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions or general business

purposes;

·
diminish our ability to withstand a downturn in our business or the economy;

·
require us to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash flows from operations to debt-service payments, reducing the availability of cash for

working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions, dividends or general corporate purposes;

·
limit our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business and the industry in which we operate; and

·
place us at a competitive disadvantage compared with our competitors that have proportionately less debt and fewer guarantee obligations.

424B5
If we are unable to meet our debt-service obligations, we could be forced to restructure or refinance our indebtedness, seek additional equity capital
or sell assets. We may be unable to obtain financing or sell assets on satisfactory terms, or at all.
We are not prohibited under the indenture governing the notes from incurring additional indebtedness. Our incurrence of significant additional
indebtedness could exacerbate the negative consequences mentioned above and could materially adversely affect our ability to repay the notes.

Table of Contents
We have a holding company structure in which our subsidiaries and affiliates conduct our operations and own a substantial portion of our operating
assets, causing us to be dependent upon their distributions to make payments on the notes.
As we are a holding company, our subsidiaries and affiliates conduct our operations and own a substantial portion of our operating assets. As a
result, our ability to make required payments on the notes depends on the performance of our subsidiaries and their ability to make distributions, dividends,
loans or advances to us. The ability of our subsidiaries to make distributions, dividends, loans or advances to us may be restricted by, among other things,
future credit facilities, applicable state partnership laws and other laws and regulations. If we are unable to obtain the funds necessary to pay the principal
amount of the notes at maturity, we may be required to adopt one or more alternatives, such as a refinancing of the notes. We cannot assure you that we
would be able to refinance the notes on acceptable terms or at all.
As a result of our holding company structure, the notes will be structurally subordinated to liabilities and indebtedness of our subsidiaries other than
ONEOK Partners and the Intermediate Partnership, which will guarantee the notes, and effectively subordinated to any of our and the guarantors'
secured indebtedness to the extent of the assets securing such indebtedness.
A substantial portion of our operating assets are owned by our subsidiaries or our affiliates. The notes will not be guaranteed by our subsidiaries or
other affiliates, other than ONEOK Partners and the Intermediate Partnership, and our subsidiaries and such affiliates are not prohibited under the indenture
that will govern the notes from incurring additional indebtedness. As a result, holders of the notes will be structurally subordinated to claims of third-party
creditors, including holders of indebtedness, of these non-guarantor subsidiaries and such affiliates. Claims of those other creditors, including trade
creditors, secured creditors, governmental authorities, and holders of indebtedness or guarantees issued by our non-guarantor subsidiaries, will generally
have priority as to the assets of our non-guarantor subsidiaries over claims by the holders of the notes. As a result, rights of payment of holders of our
indebtedness, including the holders of the notes, will be structurally subordinated to all those claims of creditors of our non-guarantor subsidiaries.
Assuming we had completed this offering on March 31, 2020, after giving effect to the application of the net proceeds as described in "Use of Proceeds" in
this prospectus supplement, the notes and the guarantees would have been structurally subordinated to approximately $19.4 million of outstanding
indebtedness of our non-guarantor subsidiaries. In addition, if either of ONEOK Partners or the Intermediate Partnership is no longer our subsidiary or no
longer has any capital markets debt securities outstanding or guarantees any capital markets debt securities issued by us or the other guarantor, in each case
other than the notes, so long as no default or event of default under the indenture has occurred or is continuing, they will be released from their obligations
under the indenture, and its guarantees will no longer be in effect.
In addition, holders of our and the guarantors' secured indebtedness would have claims with respect to the assets constituting collateral for such
indebtedness that are prior to your claims under the notes or the guarantees. We do not currently have any secured indebtedness, but may have secured
indebtedness in the future. In the event of a default on such secured indebtedness or our bankruptcy, liquidation or reorganization, our assets would be
available to satisfy obligations with respect to the indebtedness secured thereby before any payment could be made on the notes or the guarantees.
While the indenture governing the notes places some limitations on our ability to create liens, there are significant exceptions to these limitations,
including with respect to sale and leaseback transactions, which will allow us to secure some kinds of indebtedness without equally and ratably securing
the notes. To the extent the value of the collateral is not sufficient to satisfy the secured indebtedness, the holders of that indebtedness would be entitled to
share with the holders of the notes and the holders of other claims against us with respect to our other assets.

Table of Contents
Your ability to transfer the notes at a time or price you desire may be limited by the absence of an active trading market, which may not develop.
Each series of notes is a new issue of securities for which there is no established public market. Although we have registered the offer and sale of the
notes under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), we do not intend to apply for the listing of the notes on any securities
exchange or for the quotation of the notes in any automated dealer quotation system. In addition, although the underwriters have informed us that they
intend to make a market in each series of notes, as permitted by applicable laws and regulations, they are not obligated to do so, and they may discontinue
their market making activities at any time without notice. An active market for the notes may not develop or, if developed, may not continue. In the
absence of an active trading market, you may not be able to transfer the notes within a time or at a price you desire or at all.

424B5
Upon an event of default, we may have insufficient funds to make any payments due on the notes.
A default under the indenture that will govern the notes, the indentures governing our and ONEOK Partners' senior notes, our revolving credit
agreement, our term loan facility or any other debt that we may have outstanding from time to time could result in an event of default under that agreement
after any applicable grace period. If not waived or rescinded, the default could result in acceleration of the debt outstanding under that agreement and a
default with respect to, and an acceleration of, the debt outstanding under other debt agreements, including the indenture that will govern the notes. The
accelerated debt would become immediately due and payable. If that occurs, we may not be able to make all of the required payments or borrow sufficient
funds to refinance such debt. Even if new financing were available at that time, it may not be on terms that are acceptable to us. If our debt is in default for
any reason, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected.

USE OF PROCEEDS
We estimate the net proceeds from this offering, after deducting underwriting discounts and the estimated expenses of this offering payable by us,
will be approximately $1.48 billion. We anticipate using the net proceeds from this offering to repay all outstanding borrowings under our term loan
facility and for general corporate purposes, which may include the repayment of other existing indebtedness and the funding of capital expenditures.
As of March 31, 2020, we had $1.25 billion in borrowings outstanding under our term loan facility with a weighted-average interest rate of 1.86%.
The borrowings under our term loan facility mature in November 2021. The term loan agreement contains an option, which may be exercised up to two
times, to extend the term of the loan, in each case, for an additional one-year term, subject to the approval of the lenders thereunder.
