Getka Energy LLC, a midstream services provider, has received an initial equity commitment of $250 million from EnCap Flatrock Midstream.
Getka was formed earlier this year to provide storage, blending and terminal solutions, as well as pipeline transportation and market optionality for producers across North America, in addition to domestic and international marketers.
The recently formed company is led by three founding partners, who have a long history of working together—CEO Dariusz Cichocki, CCO Clete Straub and COO Matthew Turner.
The founding partners have more than 50 years of combined energy industry experience and worked together at Enbridge Energy Partners L.P., where they focused on the commercial development of storage and pipeline systems.
Getka said it expects to focus its early efforts on multiple basins and market hubs throughout the Midcontinent, including the market center at Cushing, Oklahoma.

“We believe there is a strong demand for a team that has a deep understanding of the crude oil supply chain, knows where the challenges and opportunities are and has the ability to execute reliably and rapidly,” Cichocki said. “When we decided to form Getka Energy, EnCap Flatrock Midstream was our preferred partner and the only equity provider we met with.”
