midstream services

Midstream services refer to the segment of the oil and gas industry that involves the transportation, storage, and processing of hydrocarbons after they are extracted (upstream) and before they are refined (downstream). This includes pipelines, railroads, and tanker trucks that move crude oil, natural gas, and natural gas liquids to various facilities or markets. Midstream also encompasses storage facilities that hold these resources until they are needed. Essentially, midstream services act as the bridge between the extraction of resources and their final transformation into usable products.
