- SMC is actively working with customers on 2026 development plans, which include more than 120 new well connects in the first half of 2026, indicating strong future growth potential.
- SMC expects financial results to trend towards the low end of its original 2025 adjusted EBITDA guidance range due to certain well connect delays.
- Liquids volumes decreased by 6,000 barrels per day relative to the second quarter, primarily due to natural production declines.
