Company Overview

Summit Midstream Corporation (NYSE: SMC) is a value‑driven midstream energy company headquartered in Houston, Texas. The company develops, owns, and operates natural gas, crude oil, and produced water gathering systems across four unconventional resource basins in the United States:

• Williston Basin (North Dakota) – Bakken and Three Forks shales (Polar & Divide system)
• Denver‑Julesburg Basin (Colorado & Wyoming) – Niobrara and Codell shales (Niobrara G&P system)
• Fort Worth Basin (Texas) – Barnett Shale (DFW Midstream system)
• Piceance Basin (Colorado) – Mesaverde, Mancos, and Niobrara shales (Grand River system)

SMC also holds an equity investment in Double E Pipeline, LLC, a natural‑gas transmission system serving the Delaware Basin and the Waha Hub in Texas. The company’s revenue is primarily generated from long‑term, fee‑based gathering agreements that include Area of Mutual Interest (AMI) provisions and Minimum Volume Commitments (MVCs), providing cash‑flow stability and limited commodity price exposure. Since its formation in 2009, Summit Midstream has expanded through the acquisition and development of DFW Midstream, Grand River, Polar & Divide, Niobrara G&P, and Double E Pipeline.
