Timothy A. Roberts, president of Cardinal Midstream LLC, is today’s featured Forty Under 40 honoree.

Founded in 2008, Dallas-based Cardinal has been through two successful life-cycles with the support of EnCap Flatrock Midstream and is in the middle of a third with the support of both EnCap Flatrock Midstream and NGP Energy Capital Management LLC. 

Roberts currently navigates the course of Cardinal Midstream III, which recently developed the Iron Horse gathering and processing system. The system consists of more than 180 miles of natural gas pipeline and a 225 million cubic feet per day cryo plant, serving producers in Oklahoma’s Scoop, Stack and Merge plays.

Under Roberts’ guidance, the project continues to expand its gathering footprint and develop new business lines to improve producer netbacks.

“Having the opportunity to put together a large-scale, successful midstream platform from the ground up is a meaningful career milestone for me,” he said. “It would not have been attainable without staying focused on all of the personal relationships that are critical to success. With the support of our partners, we are strategically positioned to continue to expand our asset base and meet the growing midstream needs of our basin.” 

Roberts’ efforts are aimed at building an entrepreneurial spirit at Cardinal by consistently promoting creativity, adaptability and nimbleness. This type of environment, he says, fosters “a lens through which we view hurdles and opportunities—big and small.”
