Midstream

The petroleum industry is usually divided into three major components: upstream, midstream and downstream. The midstream sector involves the transportation (by pipeline, rail, barge, oil tanker or truck), storage, and wholesale marketing of crude or refined petroleum products. Pipelines and other transport systems can be used to move crude oil from production sites to refineries and deliver the various refined products to downstream distributors. Natural gas pipeline networks aggregate gas from natural gas purification plants and deliver it to downstream customers, such as local utilities.

The midstream operations are often taken to include some elements of the upstream and downstream sectors. For example, the midstream sector may include natural gas processing plants that purify the raw natural gas as well as removing and producing elemental sulfur and natural gas liquids (NGL) as finished end-products.

Midstream (album)

Midstream (1978) is the second studio album by Debby Boone. The album's title refers to the change in producers "midstream" on the album. The first seven songs were produced by Brooks Arthur; the remaining five songs were written and produced by Joe Brooks who was responsible for Boone's "You Light Up My Life." Brooks' songs were all written for his film, If Ever I See You Again. (On the film's soundtrack, Boone was only featured on the track, "California.") Another "Midstream" track, "When You're Loved," was one of three songs recorded by Boone for "The Magic Of Lassie" soundtrack.

Midstream failed to match the success of Boone's first solo album, You Light Up My Life. The album only reached No. 147 on the Billboard 200 and none of its singles returned Boone to the Top 10 on either the Pop, Country or AC charts:

The album's singles include:

  • California (No. 50 Pop, No. 20 AC)
  • God Knows (No. 74 Pop, No. 22 Country, No. 14 AC)
  • When You're Loved (No. 48 AC)
