About Getka Energy

Getka Energy operates as a crude oil logistics provider, with a focus on delivering comprehensive midstream solutions. Founded in early 2018, the company is headquartered in Tulsa, Oklahoma. The founding team, which included CEO Dariusz Cichocki, CCO Clete Straub, and COO Matthew Turner, brought over 50 years of combined experience from their time working together at Enbridge Energy Partners, where they specialized in the commercial development of storage and pipeline systems.

The firm's business model is centered on providing storage, blending, terminal solutions, pipeline transportation, and facilitating market optionality. It serves crude oil producers, as well as domestic and international marketers across North America. Getka's strategy involves creating a hub-and-spoke platform of integrated assets to establish efficient access to producing basins and enhance market delivery options. Revenue is generated through structured agreements for its logistics services, direct-to-consumer sales, and B2B partnerships, which may include subscription-based models for ongoing services or leasing arrangements.

Shortly after its formation, Getka secured a significant initial equity commitment of $250 million from EnCap Flatrock Midstream. A key milestone in its early history was the August 2018 acquisition of the former Pacer Energy Terminal in Cushing, Oklahoma, a strategic move to establish a development hub at the major market center. In June 2019, Getka was acquired from EnCap Flatrock Midstream by a consortium including HBC Investments, Barcas Investments, and the company's own management team, with the leadership team remaining in their roles to continue business growth. In subsequent years, operating as Getka Group, the company expanded its focus to include alternative energies, signing MOUs to explore small modular reactor (SMR) deployment and to supply solar panels for projects in Poland.
