Midstream Companies
Midstream companies are responsible for the transportation, storage, and marketing of oil and natural gas after extraction from the ground but before refining or end-use. They operate infrastructure like pipelines, storage tanks, and shipping facilities, ensuring the efficient flow of energy resources. These companies play a crucial role in connecting producers with downstream companies (refineries, utilities), facilitating the movement of hydrocarbons safely and reliably. Their revenue mainly depends on transportation contracts and storage services, making them a vital link in the energy supply chain.
