HOUSTON - Aris Water Solutions, Inc. (NYSE:ARIS), a $1.25 billion market cap water management company with strong financial health according to InvestingPro metrics, announced Wednesday it has extended its Water Gathering and Disposal Agreement with ConocoPhillips by seven years, pushing the contract’s expiration date from May 31, 2033, to May 31, 2040.
The extension maintains the original terms of the agreement, under which Aris provides full-cycle water infrastructure services to ConocoPhillips in the Northern Delaware Basin, including recycled water supply, produced water transportation and handling operations. The company maintains a healthy current ratio of 1.87, with liquid assets exceeding short-term obligations.
