Western Midstream Partners is a publicly traded energy infrastructure partnership. It was formed in September 2012, has its principal executive office in The Woodlands, Texas, and is led by Chief Executive Officer Oscar Brown.
Western Midstream provides services to oil and gas producers between their wells and the pipelines, facilities and markets that take their output. It gathers natural gas from wells, compresses it, removes contaminants and processes it into pipeline-quality gas and a stream of natural gas liquids, or NGLs. It also gathers and treats crude oil and condensate before delivery to terminals, pipelines, storage facilities or refineries.
