# Midstream Operations

> Midstream moves energy from where it is produced to where it is refined or sold. Yorkwell Petroleum coordinates that movement with the operators of the infrastructure.

## Our role

We do not own pipelines, terminals, tanks or vessels. We work with their operators to line up transport, storage and transfer for a trade.

Each mode has its own limits. Pipelines move large volumes on a fixed route and schedule. Vessels reach any port with the right berth and draft. Rail and trucks serve inland points in smaller parcels.

## The oil and gas value chain

1. **Exploration and production** (Upstream)
2. **Transport and storage** (Midstream)
3. **Refining** (Downstream)
4. **Distribution** (Downstream)
5. **End users** (Market)

Yorkwell works on the commercial links between these stages. The assets belong to their operators.

## What we coordinate

- Pipeline, vessel, rail and truck movements
- Tank storage and transfers at terminals
- Schedules that fit the loading and delivery windows in the contract

Our [storage and logistics](https://yorkwellpetroleum.com/storage-logistics/) page explains how this works on a single trade.

## Questions we are asked

### Does Yorkwell own pipelines or terminals?

No. They belong to their operators. Yorkwell coordinates the commercial arrangements.

### Which transport modes do you work with?

Pipeline, vessel, rail and truck, depending on the product and the route.
