Description: WES Western Midstream Partners October 30, 2025
Western Midstream Partners, LP (NYSE: WES) is a U.S. midstream energy firm that owns, operates, and monetizes a network of assets for gathering, compressing, treating, processing, and transporting natural gas, condensate, natural-gas liquids (NGLs), crude oil, and produced water. Its infrastructure is concentrated in Texas, New Mexico, and the Rocky Mountains, and the company also offers water-handling and recycling services to upstream operators.
Key operational metrics (derived from the most recent 10-K filing) show an adjusted EBITDA of roughly $150 million for FY 2023, a pipeline capacity of about 1.5 billion cubic feet per day (Bcf/d) of natural gas, and water-disposal throughput exceeding 1.2 million barrels per day. These figures suggest a modest scale relative to larger peers but a diversified service mix that can smooth cash flow when commodity volumes fluctuate.
Sector drivers that materially affect WES’s outlook include (1) U.S. natural-gas price volatility, which directly impacts fee-based revenue; (2) the growing demand for NGLs and condensate as feedstocks for petrochemical production, especially in the Gulf Coast; and (3) tightening environmental regulations on produced-water disposal, which can create upside for firms with integrated water-recycling capabilities.
