Antero Midstream (NYSE:AM) is a publicly traded midstream service provider that was established in 2014 as a spin-off from Antero Resources. Headquartered in Denver, Colorado, the company owns, operates and develops midstream infrastructure to support the gathering, compression, processing, transportation and storage of natural gas, natural gas liquids (NGLs) and crude oil. Antero Midstream plays a critical role in connecting upstream production in the Appalachian Basin to end-market pipelines and processing facilities.
The company’s core operations include a network of gathering pipelines and compression stations that serve the Marcellus and Utica shale formations across West Virginia, Pennsylvania and Ohio. In addition to hydrocarbon gathering, Antero Midstream offers natural gas processing services through its processing plants, which remove impurities and separate NGLs for sale and distribution. The business also maintains custody transfer and storage terminals that facilitate efficient product flow from wellhead to downstream markets.
Water management is another strategic focus for Antero Midstream, encompassing fresh water sourcing, produced water gathering, recycling and disposal. The company’s water handling infrastructure includes pipelines, treatment facilities and injection wells designed to optimize operational efficiency and mitigate environmental impact. By offering integrated water solutions alongside traditional midstream services, Antero Midstream supports both its sponsor, Antero Resources, and third-party producers in managing hydraulic fracturing needs.
Antero Midstream is led by a management team with extensive experience in the midstream energy sector, drawing on decades of operational know-how from predecessor organizations. Since its initial public offering in 2014, the company has grown its asset base through organic investment and targeted expansions, positioning itself as a key infrastructure partner in one of North America’s most prolific natural gas regions.
