SAN ANTONIO – January 11, 2022 – EnCap Flatrock Midstream (“EFM”) today announced the promotion of Morriss L. Hurt to managing partner and chief operating officer. Founded in 2008, EnCap Flatrock Midstream provides value-added growth capital to proven management teams focused on midstream infrastructure opportunities across North America. The firm manages funds with institutional capital commitments of approximately $9 billion.

“Morriss joined EFM in 2008, representing our first commitment to adding energy finance professionals to our team,” EFM Managing Partner and Founder Billy Lemmons said.  “He has contributed to the growth and success of our firm on every front. In his new role, Morriss will continue as a valued investment decision-maker and oversee many of the aspects of the firm’s day-to-day operating functions. Morriss is an outstanding teammate and a visible example of EFM’s values and commitment to integrity, strong relationships and performance.”

“I’m very proud to have been a part of the EFM team since our founding in 2008,” Mr. Hurt said. “The partnership between EFM investors, management teams and investment professionals has yielded tremendous successes for our stakeholders which, in turn, has benefited many others around us. Hydrocarbons remain essential to meeting current global energy demand. As a result, we believe there is a strong opportunity set for continued investment in the midstream oil and gas sector. Additionally, given the significant momentum behind the decarbonization of our energy systems, EFM is already applying our extensive experience to the development of midstream infrastructure beyond traditional hydrocarbons.  I’m very excited about the EFM opportunity set and grateful for this opportunity to help lead the firm into the future.”
