Edgewater was formed in late 2019 to provide independent midstream solutions to refiners, producers and marketers of crude oil, refined products and other bulk liquids. Based in Houston, the company is focused on the acquisition, development and operation of pipeline and terminal solutions between and in proximity to major North American petroleum trading hubs and demand centers.

Edgewater is led by its three founders: Chief Executive Officer Stephen Smith, Chief Commercial Officer Brian Thomason and Chief Operating Officer Mike Truby. Collectively, the Edgewater management team has more than 70 years of energy industry experience. The founders have served in senior leadership roles at companies including Genesis Energy, LP (NYSE: GEL); Motiva Enterprises, LLC; ConocoPhillips (NYSE: COP) and NuStar Energy, LP (NYSE: NS). Edgewater is backed by an initial capital commitment of $400 million from EnCap Flatrock Midstream.
