midstream oil and gas

Midstream oil and gas refers to the phase of the energy industry focused on the transportation, storage, and marketing of oil and natural gas after extraction and before refining or sale. It involves moving resources from drilling sites to processing plants and then distributing them to downstream industries or markets. This sector includes pipelines, trucking, rail, storage facilities, and export terminals. Midstream operators ensure the safe, efficient, and reliable flow of hydrocarbons, acting as a vital link that connects upstream producers with downstream refiners and customers.
