• Double E Pipeline Expansion Progress

  Summit Midstream secured 250 MMcf/d in new long-term firm transportation agreements for its Double E Pipeline, bringing total contracted capacity to approximately 1.9 Bcf/d. The open season for the compression expansion was extended to June 30, 2026, due to significant inbound interest, with a final investment decision on the 50% capacity increase (from 1.6 Bcf/d to 2.4 Bcf/d) expected by summer's end. Equipment has already been ordered to maintain an end of 2028 in-service date.

• Williston Basin Growth

  The company executed a new crude oil gathering agreement in Divide County, North Dakota, which includes a 40,000-acre area of dedication. This agreement is expected to result in 15 new four-mile lateral well connections by year-end 2026, contributing to over 240,000 acres of dedicated growth in the Williston Basin over the past six months.
