Voyager Midstream Holdings (“Voyager”), a newly formed independent midstream company headquartered in Houston and Midland, Texas, announced today it has secured an initial capital commitment from Pearl Energy Investments (“Pearl”) to pursue the acquisition and development of crude oil, natural gas, and produced water infrastructure across key North American supply basins.
Voyager’s founding partners, Will Harvey and Martin McHale, are energy industry and midstream veterans with a track record of success. Harvey most recently was the Senior Vice President of Corporate Development for Aris Water Solutions, the leading independent produced water midstream business in the United States, where he oversaw strategic growth initiatives, including the company’s initial public offering in 2021. McHale was most recently the Chief Operating Officer of Oryx Midstream, where he led the operational and engineering development of over 1,400 miles of pipeline as well as substantial terminal and storage assets across a 900,000 dedicated acre area. Oryx was the largest private crude oil gathering and transportation operator in the Permian Basin until its merger with Plains All American in 2021.
