A Stable Midstream Model

Summit operates midstream infrastructure, which refers to the middle stage of energy production involving the transport and storage of oil and gas. The company uses gathering systems, which are networks of small-diameter pipes that collect raw energy from wellheads and deliver it to larger pipelines.

Its business model relies on fixed-fee contracts that provide steady income regardless of changes in commodity prices. The company also uses Minimum Volume Commitments (MVC), which are agreements that ensure producers pay for a minimum amount of service even if their production levels drop.
