Job Description

Headquartered in Houston, Texas, Summit Midstream Corporation (NYSE: SMC) is a value-driven corporation focused on developing, owning, and operating midstream energy infrastructure assets strategically located in unconventional resource basins, primarily shale formations, in the continental United States.

We currently operate natural gas, crude oil, and produced water gathering systems in four unconventional resource basins:

• the Williston Basin in North Dakota, including the Bakken and Three Forks shale formations;
• the Denver-Julesburg Basin, including the Niobrara and Codell shale formations in Colorado and Wyoming;
• the Fort Worth Basin in Texas, including the Barnett Shale formation;
• the Piceance Basin in Colorado, including the liquids-rich Mesaverde formation and the emerging Mancos and Niobrara Shale formations.

Our systems and the basins they serve are:

• the Polar & Divide system, serving the Williston Basin;
• the DFW Midstream system, serving the Fort Worth Basin;
• the Grand River system, serving the Piceance Basin;
• the Niobrara G&P system, serving the DJ Basin.

SMC has an equity investment in and operates Double E Pipeline, LLC, providing natural gas transmission from multiple receipt points in the Delaware Basin to various delivery points around the Waha Hub in Texas.

We generate most of our revenue under long-term gathering agreements with areas of mutual interest (AMIs) and minimum volume commitments (MVCs), which help ensure revenue stability and limit commodity price exposure.

Since 2009, our management has successfully executed this strategy through acquisitions and development of assets like DFW Midstream, Grand River, Polar & Divide, Niobrara G&P, and Double E Pipeline.
