PITTSBURGH--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Equitrans Midstream Corporation (NYSE: ETRN) today announced the
appointment of Stephen M. Moore as Senior Vice President and General
Counsel of Equitrans Midstream, effective April 15, 2019.
“Steve has an extensive background in the midstream oil and gas sector,
which includes statutory and regulatory compliance; commercial
transactions; growth strategy execution, including expansion projects,
M&A, and joint ventures; and capital markets transactions," said Thomas
F. Karam, Equitrans' president and chief executive officer. "His
significant team leadership experience will be a valuable addition to
our executive team as we continue our quest to be the premier midstream
services provider in North America. With our recently expanded asset
position in the Marcellus and Utica, we expect our strategically located
midstream operations and low-cost operating structure will continue to
drive value for our shareholders.”
Along with broad leadership and managerial experience, Moore has close
to three decades of experience counseling in-house clients in a variety
of business and legal environments. His most recent position was special
project counsel for UGI Corporation, a diversified energy company based
in Pennsylvania, where he advised on strategic corporate development
projects, primarily merger and acquisition transactions. Prior to that,
he was vice president, general counsel and secretary for the general
partner of PennTex Midstream Partners, LP (PennTex), a publicly traded
master limited partnership, and its privately held sponsor. During his
tenure with PennTex, the company negotiated and formed a producer joint
venture and constructed and commissioned two greenfield gas processing
plants and associated pipelines. Moore led PennTex’s initial public
offering and the successful negotiation of several capital markets,
commercial, and financial transactions, including the sale of
convertible preferred equity interests in PennTex and the sale of
PennTex’s Permian Basin gathering and processing platform to EagleClaw
Midstream. In a series of transactions, the PennTex entities were
acquired by Energy Transfer Partners, L.P. (ETP).
Moore began his energy career with Southern Union Company, serving as
deputy chief legal counsel of its Panhandle Energy business segment.
Following the ETP acquisition of Southern Union, Moore became associate
general counsel and lead lawyer for ETP's interstate natural gas
transportation segment, which included eight interstate pipeline systems
with more than 18,000 miles of operating pipelines. At this time, he
also served as general counsel of Citrus Corp. and its subsidiary,
Florida Gas Transmission Company (a joint venture of ETP and Kinder
Morgan). Moore's non-sector experience includes senior legal positions
in the law departments of public and private companies, including
General Electric Capital Corporation. He began his professional career
in Connecticut as a state criminal prosecutor and a commercial
litigation associate for a regional law firm.
“It is an exciting time to be in the midstream energy business and I am
thrilled to join the E-Train team as Equitrans continues its journey as
a 'new' company with more than 135 years of operating experience," said
Moore. "With the ongoing natural gas development in our region and
across the U.S., the midstream sector will continue to play a critical
role in ensuring our country's energy independence. I look forward to
partnering with the legal, commercial, construction, and operating teams
across the Equitrans organization to support their safety and compliance
culture and to deliver best-in-class midstream services to our
customers."
Moore holds a Bachelor of Arts degree in American Studies from
Georgetown University and a Juris Doctor degree from Georgetown
University Law Center.
