Can you explain the difference between upstream, midstream, and downstream sectors?

The upstream sector deals with exploration, drilling, and production of oil and gas. This includes locating reserves, drilling wells, and bringing the hydrocarbons to the surface.

The midstream sector involves the transportation and storage of oil and gas.

The downstream sector focuses on the refining of hydrocarbons and then the distribution and marketing of petroleum products, such as gasoline, diesel, and petrochemicals.
