Description: WES Western Midstream Partners January 03, 2026

Western Midstream Partners, LP (NYSE: WES) is a U.S. midstream energy firm that gathers, compresses, treats, processes, and transports natural gas, condensate, NGLs, and crude oil across assets in Texas, New Mexico, and the Rocky Mountains. It also handles produced-water disposal and offers water-recycling services to upstream operators. The company, incorporated in 2007 and headquartered in The Woodlands, Texas, trades under the GICS sub-industry “Oil & Gas Storage & Transportation.”

Key operating metrics from the most recent filing (Q4 2023) show an adjusted EBITDA of roughly $115 million and a pipeline capacity of about 1.2 billion cubic feet per day (Bcf/d) for natural-gas transport. Revenue is highly correlated with natural-gas price spreads and NGL demand, both of which have been buoyed by the ongoing shift toward higher-value liquids in the U.S. energy mix. A sector-wide driver is the increasing need for water-management solutions as shale production expands, positioning Western Midstream’s water-recycling business for incremental growth.
