Business Wire
Western Midstream Partners, LP (NYSE: WES) (“WES” or the
“Partnership”) today announced the closing of the previously
announced acquisition of Meritage Midstream Services II, LLC
(“Meritage”). The consideration was funded with cash on hand and
WES’s recent $600 million investment grade senior notes issuance.
The Meritage acquisition transforms WES’s existing asset footprint
in the Powder River Basin with expanded gathering and processing
facilities, a diversified customer base, and long-term contracts
supported by minimum volume commitments and acreage
dedications.
As previously announced, for the third quarter 2023, management
intends to recommend a Base Distribution increase of $0.0125, or
$0.05 annualized, resulting in a total annualized distribution of
$2.30 per common unit.
