. Our operations center is staffed 24 hours per day, seven days per week and enables us to continually monitor data from various devices to ensure we are able to promptly detect and respond to any anomalies or emergencies. This includes tracking pressures, temperatures, flow rates, mechanical equipment and alarms, with the ability to control over 10,000 direct control inputs per month. We have over 800 live camera feeds that are continuously monitored and assist in our detection efforts. This infrastructure allows us to achieve a less than 2% error rate in monitoring volumes into and off our system, a figure we believe is industry leading. We employ a number of different monitoring systems, such as camera leak detection AI and optical gas imaging, designed to ensure the safety of our people, our assets and our environment.

In addition to field coordination and safety management, our operations center includes field automation capabilities through which we remotely optimize injection, improve efficiency and reduce costs. Such adjustments include remotely controlling the speed of pumps, opening and closing valves, regulating automation setpoints and optimizing electrical power usage. Through these comprehensive monitoring and optimization efforts, we believe that our operations center has provided us with significant financial benefits in reduced labor costs and operational efficiencies.

Our long-term contracts are structured similarly to traditional crude gathering contracts. Key features of our long-term contracts include:

Long Term – an initial term of 15 years for a majority of our long-term contracts, with a weighted-average remaining term of approximately 11 years as of June 30, 2025;

Fixed Fee – a per-barrel fixed fee charged to transport and handle produced water volumes;

Acreage Dedications and AMIs – dedications of large acreage positions in which, other than diverted volumes described below, all produced water is required to be handled by our integrated network and, for certain of our contracts, AMIs designating areas in which producers will dedicate subsequently acquired or leased acreage and oil and natural gas wells to us;

MVCs – for certain of our contracts, MVCs, which require our customers to deliver, or pay for the delivery of, certain minimum volumes of produced water over specific time periods, which often serve to underwrite return thresholds on initial capital outlays and are intended to generate predictable cash flows;

Fee Escalators – annual fee escalation tied to the CPI or similar inflation index for substantially all of our long-term contracts; and

Fees for Diverted Volumes – a per-barrel fixed fee for produced water volumes diverted by customers subject to acreage dedications prior to delivery
