| Aspect | Shale Gas | Oil & Gas Technician |
|---|---|---|
| Credentials | Geology or Petroleum Engineering degree, certifications in hydraulic fracturing | Technical diploma or associate degree, certifications in drilling and safety |
| Work Environment | Drilling sites, hydraulic fracturing operations, remote locations | Drilling rigs, production facilities, field sites |
| Industry Usage | Extraction of natural gas from shale formations | Maintenance, operation, and troubleshooting of oil and gas equipment |
Shale Gas professionals focus on extracting natural gas from shale formations, often involving hydraulic fracturing and geological analysis. Oil & Gas Technicians support the operational side, maintaining and operating equipment across oil and gas fields. While both roles work in the energy industry and may share certifications, their daily tasks and focus areas differ significantly.

Headquartered in Houston, Texas, Summit Midstream Corporation (NYSE: SMC) is a value-driven corporation focused on developing, owning and operating midstream energy infrastructure assets that are strategically located in unconventional resource basins, primarily shale formations, in the continental United States.
We currently operate natural gas, crude oil and produced water gathering systems in four unconventional resource basins:
Our systems and the basins they serve are as follows:
SMC has an equity investment in and operates Double E Pipeline, LLC, which is natural gas transmission infrastructure that provides transportation service from multiple receipt points in the Delaware Basin to various delivery points in and around the Waha Hub in Texas.
We generate a substantial majority of our revenue under primarily long-term and fee-based gathering agreements with our customers. The majority of our gathering agreements are underpinned by areas of mutual interest (“AMIs”) and minimum volume commitments (“MVCs”). Our AMIs provide that any production drilled by our customers within the AMIs will be shipped on our gathering systems. The MVCs are designed to ensure that we will generate a minimum amount of gathering revenue over the life of each respective gathering agreement. The fee-based nature of the majority of the gathering agreements enhances the stability of our cash flows and limits our direct commodity price exposure.
Since our formation in 2009, our management team has established a track record of executing this strategy through the acquisition and subsequent development of DFW Midstream, Grand River, Polar & Divide, Niobrara G&P, and Double E Pipeline.
Summit Midstream is proudly committed to recruiting and retaining a diverse and inclusive workforce. As an Equal Opportunity Employer, we do not discriminate based on race, religion, color, national origin, gender (including pregnancy, childbirth, or related medical condition), sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, age, status as a protected veteran, status as an individual with a disability, or other applicable legally protected characteristics.

Work Sponsorship: Summit Midstream will only employ those who are legally authorized to work in the United States. Any offer of employment is contingent upon the Company receiving satisfactory results from a pre-employment drug screening, a criminal background check, and reference checks and your satisfaction of all other applicable fitness for duty requirements.
DOT Compliance: Responsibilities may include Department of Transportation (DOT) covered functions per PHMSA or FMSCA. Job duties also require the employee to be alert and respond immediately to dangerous or hazardous conditions, and where impaired performance, or failure to follow safety precautions, could result in serious injury or property damage. Maintain working knowledge of regulatory requirements, perform required tasks, and complete associated documentation (OSHA, DOT, EPA, etc.)
Competitive salary range of: $34.00 to 47.69
