Antero Midstream Acquires Summit Midstream’s Marcellus Assets for $70 Million

P&GJ) — Antero Midstream Corp. has made a strategic move with the acquisition of gathering and compression assets in the Marcellus Shale region for $70 million from Summit Midstream Partners LP.

The purchased assets, located in the Marcellus Shale, include compression infrastructure and high-pressure gathering systems, covering approximately 27,500 net acres and boasting a production capacity of around 24,400 barrels of oil equivalent per day.

“This transaction marks our third highly strategic bolt-on acquisition in Appalachia in the last two years,” Paul Rady, Chairman and CEO of Antero Midstream, said. “The compression and high pressure gathering assets are already interconnected with Antero Midstream’s low pressure gathering system.

This strategic move aligns with the company’s growth objectives and underscores its focus on delivering long-term value.

The transaction is a testament to Antero Midstream’s strategic vision and financial discipline, positioning the company for sustained growth and value creation in the dynamic energy landscape.
