DALLAS -- (Business Wire)

Matador Resources Company (NYSE: MTDR) (“Matador”) today announced that it has entered into multiple agreements with affiliates of Energy Transfer LP (“ET”), including a gas supply agreement. This transaction is an additional step taken by Matador’s marketing team to improve all-in pricing netbacks and reduce exposure to Waha Hub pricing in the second half of 2026. In addition to this gas supply agreement, Matador has executed separate natural gas liquid (“NGL”) agreements with various ET affiliates to dedicate and sell Matador’s NGLs from multiple sources in the Delaware Basin to ET.

On October 30, 2025, Matador announced that it had secured firm transportation on Energy Transfer’s Hugh Brinson Pipeline to move 500,000 MMBtu per day of natural gas production out of the Permian Basin to points of sale where demand and pricing have historically been significantly higher than at the Waha Hub. We expect the new gas supply agreement with ET announced today will allow Matador to bridge the gap prior to Matador’s transportation agreement on the Hugh Brinson Pipeline becoming effective and realize higher natural gas prices for a portion of its natural gas production in the second half of 2026. This agreement is also expected to provide ET with natural gas to feed the growing demand from artificial intelligence (AI) driven data centers and power generation markets.

Joseph Wm. Foran, Matador’s Founder, Chairman and CEO, commented, “We are excited for the opportunity to continue our working relationship with Energy Transfer. We want to thank the entire Energy Transfer team for their cooperation on this transaction. Matador looks forward to the Hugh Brinson Pipeline being placed into service, and we anticipate that this transaction is expected to increase the price that Matador realizes for its natural gas production until then. We are proud of our marketing team for working with Energy Transfer to find new and creative solutions to increase flow assurance and secure better pricing for Matador’s natural gas.”
