## Exhibit 99.1

**Exhibit 99.1**

**<u>SEPARATION AGREEMENT AND GENERAL RELEASE</u>**

This Agreement and General Release ("Agreement") is made and entered into by and between Crimson Midstream Services, LLC. ("Company") on the one hand, and Larry Alexander, and his heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns (collectively, "Executive") on the other. Company and Executive may be referred to individually as a "Party" or collectively as the "Parties."

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**1.<u>Last Day of Employment</u>**. Executive was separated from employment effective March 1, 2023 ("Separation Date").

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**2.<u>Definition of Released Parties</u>**. For purposes of this Agreement, the term "Released Parties" means John D. Grier, CorEnergy Infrastructure Trust, Inc., Crimson Midstream Holdings, LLC, Crimson Midstream Services, LLC and each of their respective owners, parent corporations, affiliates, subsidiaries, divisions, predecessors, insurers, successors and assigns, and their current and former employees, attorneys, officers, directors and agents thereof, both individually and in their business capacities, and their employee benefits plans and programs and their administrators and fiduciaries; except that "Released Parties" does not include Crimson Management Incentives LLC or CI Management, LLC.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**3.<u>Pending and Future Legal or Administrative Actions</u>**. Executive represents there are no actions brought by Executive, whether in court, before any agency or otherwise, asserting claims by Executive against Company or any other Released Parties including, but not limited to, actions that concern allegations based on Executive's employment and cessation of employment with Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**4.<u>Consideration</u>**. In consideration for Executive's signing this Agreement and compliance with its terms, and provided Executive does not revoke this Agreement as provided in paragraph 7 below, Company agrees to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;a.Pay $443,210 representing twelve (12) months Executive's base monthly salary ("Separation Pay"), in accordance with the Company's regular payroll practices, including making the usual deductions and withholdings from salary. Payments will be made as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)The first payment of $147,737 will be made on the payroll date that occurs 20 business days after the date Company receives a signed and dated copy of this Agreement from Executive.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)The remaining $295,473 of the Separation Pay shall be paid in eight (8) equal monthly payments commencing four (4) months after the separation date from the Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;b.If Executive is eligible for and properly and timely elects to continue medical, vision and/or dental coverage under Company's group health plan in accordance with the continuation requirements of COBRA, Company will reimburse Executive 100% of the cost of the premium for such coverage (at the same level of coverage for Executive in effect immediately prior to the Separation Date) beginning on the Separation Date and ending on March 1, 2024 (unless Executive's COBRA coverage period ends earlier) (the "COBRA Payment Period"). Reimbursements shall be made on a regular payroll basis, commencing as soon as reasonably practicable following the date on which this Agreement becomes effective and after proof of payment is submitted by Executive. Executive must submit proof of payment of the monthly COBRA premiums to receive reimbursement. The proof for each month's payment must be submitted within 30 days after making the COBRA payment for the reimbursement to be provided.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Page **1** of **9**

------

**Exhibit 99.1**

Nonetheless, if Executive becomes employed by another employer and is eligible for coverage under the group benefits plan of the new employer, Company will no longer reimburse the cost of the premiums for COBRA continuation as of the date of eligibility under the new employment. Executive agrees to immediately notify Company in writing of such new employment so that Company receives such notification prior to the commencement of this new employment.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;c.Executive's 2022 4<sup>th</sup> quarter Incentive Bonus, as defined in Executive's January 1, 2017 Employment Agreement with the Company and calculated as $221,605 will be paid within 20 days of execution of this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**5.<u>No Consideration Absent Execution of this Agreement</u>**. Executive understands and agrees that Executive would not receive the monies and/or benefits specified in paragraph 4 above, except for Executive's execution of this Agreement and the fulfillment of the promises contained herein.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**6.<u>Time to Consider Agreement, Release of Age Discrimination Claims, Consultation With an Attorney</u>**. Executive has forty-five (45) calendar days to consider and sign this Agreement but may sign it earlier. If Executive signs this Agreement before the end of the 45-day consideration period, Executive represents Executive did so voluntarily and that no one coerced Executive to do so. This Agreement shall be deemed withdrawn if Executive does not sign it and either deliver, email or mail it before the 45 day period expires. Executive waives important rights, including the right to sue for discrimination based upon age under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act and state law by signing this Agreement. However, Executive is not releasing age discrimination claims that arise after Executive signs this Agreement. Company advises Executive to consult with an attorney about the meaning and effect of this Agreement before signing it.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**7.<u>Right to Revoke Agreement</u>**. Executive may revoke this Agreement for a period of seven (7) calendar days following the day Executive signs this Agreement. Any revocation within this period must state: "I hereby revoke my acceptance of our Separation Agreement and General Release." The revocation must be emailed to jgrier@crimsonml.com before expiration of the 7-calendar day revocation period. This Agreement will not become effective or enforceable until the revocation period has expired. Therefore, the effective date of this Agreement is the day after the expiration of the seven day period.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**11.<u>Company Confidential Information</u>**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;a."Confidential Information" for purposes of this Agreement is defined as the confidential, proprietary, nonpublic and or secret knowledge of the Company or any of its affiliates, whether developed by Executive or by others, concerning the Company's plans, acquisition opportunities, strategies, finances, vendors, vendor contact information, contractors, clients (including client contact information and preferences), marketing techniques, processes, formulae and algorithms (whether or patented or patentable) directly or indirectly useful or potentially useful in any aspect of the business of the Company or one of its affiliates. Confidential information does not include (i) information that is now or later becomes available to the general public through no fault of Executive, and (ii) information required to be disclosed through legal process but only with respect to the disclosure so required.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;b.Executive affirms that Executive has not divulged Confidential Information as of Executive's execution of this Agreement. Executive also understands and agrees that Executive: (i) will continue to keep such Confidential Information confidential at all times, (ii) will not disclose or communicate Confidential Information to any third-party unless otherwise required by law, and (iii) will not make use of Confidential Information on Executive's own behalf, or on behalf of any third-party.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;c.Under the federal Defend Trade Secrets Act of 2016, Executive shall not be held criminally or civilly liable under any federal or state trade secret law for the disclosure of a trade secret that: (a) is made (i) in confidence to a federal, state, or local government official, either directly or indirectly, or to an attorney; and (ii) solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law; or (b) is made to Executive's attorney in relation to a lawsuit against Company for retaliation against Executive for reporting a suspected violation of law; or (c) is made in a complaint or other document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding if such filing is made under seal.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;d.In view of the nature of Executive's employment and the nature of Confidential Information Executive received during the course of Executive's employment, Executive agrees that any unauthorized disclosure to third-parties of Confidential Information or other violation, or threatened violation, of this Agreement would cause irreparable damage to status of Confidential Information and to Company, and that, therefore, Company shall be entitled to an injunction prohibiting Executive from any such disclosure, attempted disclosure, violation, or threatened violation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;e.Executive agrees it would be difficult for Company to establish the amount of damages caused by any unauthorized disclosure of Confidential Information. Accordingly, Employee agrees to pay 5% of the total amounts in paragraph 4 for a proven breach of this paragraph 11 for each proven breach as liquidated damages. A proven breach shall mean a final binding order from a court of competent jurisdiction. Employee and Company agree this amount is not a penalty and is a reasonable amount.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;f.Nothing in this Agreement, including this paragraph 11, prevents Executive from discussing and disclosing information about unlawful acts in the workplace such as harassment and discrimination or any other conduct that Executive has reason to believe is unlawful.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**12.<u>No Disparagement</u>**. Executive and Company agree and warrant that Executive and Company will not disparage, or assist others in disparaging, any of the Parties. Executive and Company further agree and warrant that Executive will not make, file, prepare, report, or assist in making, filing, preparing, or reporting any disparaging remarks about the Parties via the Internet or any news media.
