During the 2019 ADI Forum, ADI’s annual oil and gas conference, Roger George, Senior Vice President, Global Engineering and Product Lines, Exterran, provided insights on private equity versus traditional midstream during a midstream and gas processing panel moderated by Uday Turaga, CEO, ADI Analytics. This video explored the contrasting operational styles, highlighting the 2014 shift toward private equity’s rapid, stick‑built solutions for quick returns compared to the more reserved, long‑term asset deployment of publicly traded international oil companies. It also examined the significant private equity activity in 2018 and its subsequent plateauing in 2019, driven by concerns over exit strategies, offering a look into the distinct investment philosophies shaping the midstream sector.
