United States & Energy Transfer

United States: The federal government, specifically the U.S. Justice Department, settled a lawsuit with United States — North Dakota for nearly $28 million, acknowledging past shortcomings in handling the Dakota Access Pipeline protests.

Energy Transfer: Energy Transfer, the pipeline company, donated $15 million in 2017 to help cover the response costs of the protests, which was considered a gift by the court.

United States: The United States is one of the six jurisdictions from which almost all fossil fuel financing originates. The political climate, particularly with Donald Trump's re-election, has influenced banks to water down climate goals.

Energy Transfer: Energy Transfer is one of the largest recipients of borrowed funds for fossil fuel expansion in 2025, benefiting from the surge in bank financing.

United States: The United States is the country where Matador Resources Company operates and where its stock is traded on the New York Stock Exchange.

Energy Transfer: Matador Resources Company entered into multiple agreements with affiliates of Energy Transfer, including a gas supply agreement, to secure better natural gas pricing and mitigate exposure to Waha Hub pricing. This collaboration is expected to benefit Matador Resources Company's operational costs.
