Think all energy-related companies are driven by the same market forces? It’s time to rethink that view. We interviewed Brian Watson of Invesco’s SteelPath team about the often-overlooked world of midstream energy infrastructure — the systems that help move, store, process, and export the oil and gas people rely on every day. We discussed why these companies may be less tied to oil prices than many investors assume, how rising demand for liquefied natural gas and reliable power is shaping the long-term opportunity, and how midstream businesses can offer potential income, real asset exposure, and a differentiated role in div...
