Contracting for annual pipeline or storage capacity necessary to provide firm service for a peak day or variable need typically results in underutilized assets for significant periods of time. Utilizing assets during dormant times can create value and effectively lower overall costs. From wellhead to burner tip, Summit Energy can help its clients navigate complex natural gas markets.

Risk Management

Summit Energy applies risk management strategies to help companies minimize exposure to price volatility while assuring their supply needs are met. We can customize a risk management plan that addresses customer’s unique and specific needs and allows flexibility.
