Hunton represented the Special Committee of the Board of Directors of Western Midstream Holdings, LLC in connection with the negotiation of a First Amended and Restated Wastewater Gathering and Disposal Agreement and a Water Gathering, Transportation and Disposal Agreement related to the construction of a water gathering system and an interstate water pipeline system, each to be entered into between WES Water Holdings LLC (WES) and Anadarko E&P Onshore, LLC.

The construction of the Pathfinder pipeline, a 30-inch long-haul water pipeline, will transport produced-water to additional disposal facilities in eastern Loving County within the Delaware Basin. This first-of-its-kind approach will enable WES to transport produced-water volumes away from high-activity areas with increasing pore pressures and to better utilize existing disposal capacity, maximize flow assurance for our customers and facilitate future organic growth opportunities as Occidental and other operators execute their long-term development plans.

The Hunton team was led by corporate partner Mike O’Leary with the assistance of associate Alexa Williams.
