Partnerships
Occidental Petroleum Strategic Alignment
Occidental Petroleum is Western Midstream’s primary customer and large equity stakeholder, accounting for roughly 55% of partnership throughput in 2024 and supplying long‑term acreage dedications that make Western the preferred gatherer and processor.
The firms align capital plans—Western’s $475M 2025 midstream capex vs Occidental’s 2025 upstream budget—so pipelines and processing capacity scale with production, reducing late‑stage build risk.
Joint Venture Infrastructure Partners
Western Midstream Partners forms joint venture infrastructure partnerships to split capital and risk on large pipeline projects, funding 30–50% of certain Delaware and DJ Basin builds while partners cover the rest (2024 capex share example: WM’s $420M of a $1.2B project).
Third-Party Exploration and Production Companies
While Occidental (OXY) remained Western Midstream Partners’ anchor customer in 2024, contracts with ~30 independent E&P firms supplied ~28% of volumes, diversifying revenue; long‑term take‑or‑pay agreements (typical 5–10 years) provide producers flow assurance for gas and crude. Western Midstream integrates partners’ production schedules into its pipeline and storage network, coordinating across 120,000 barrels/day of crude capacity and ~1.4 Bcf/d gas takeaway.
Financial and Institutional Lenders
Maintaining strong relationships with a syndicate of banks and institutional investors secures the $1.2–1.8 billion of revolving credit and term loan capacity Western Midstream Partners typically relies on for growth projects and liquidity (2024–2025 facilities and usage vary by quarter). Regular communication preserves its investment-grade standing and smooth access to capital markets for large-scale pipeline and storage investments.
- Revolving credit + term loans: ~$1.2–1.8B (target range)
- Use: finance pipeline, storage, JV capex
- Goal: maintain investment-grade rating to lower borrowing costs
- Action: quarterly lender updates and covenant compliance reporting
Regulatory and Environmental Agencies
Regulatory and environmental agencies, including FERC and EPA regional offices, are crucial for Western Midstream Partners’ compliance; proactive engagement cut permitting timelines by about 20% on recent projects and reduced regulatory hold costs an estimated $12–18M in 2024.
These partnerships help navigate pipeline and facility permits and keep the company aligned with tightening emissions and safety rules through 2026, supporting capital project execution and risk reduction.
- 20% faster permitting
- $12–18M in avoided hold costs (2024)
- Compliance focus through 2026
OXY 55% supply, independents 28% — 120k b/d & 1.4 Bcf/d; JV funding, $1.2–1.8B, $12–18M saved
Occidental supplies ~55% of throughput and long‑term acreage dedications; independents provide ~28% of volumes under 5–10 year take‑or‑pay contracts, giving flow assurance across ~120,000 b/d crude and ~1.4 Bcf/d gas capacity.
WM funds 30–50% in JV projects (example: $420M of $1.2B), targets $1.2–1.8B debt facilities, and saved $12–18M via 20% faster permitting in 2024.
| Metric | 2024/2025 |
|---|---|
| OXY share | ~55% |
| Independents | ~28% |
| Crude capacity | 120,000 b/d |
| Gas takeaway | 1.4 Bcf/d |

Natural Gas Processing and Treatment
Pipeline Maintenance and Integrity Management
Continuous monitoring and regular physical inspections keep Western Midstream’s pipeline integrity high, with automated sensors and pigging runs reducing leak incidents; in 2024 the firm reported 99.6% pipeline uptime and zero reportable releases on its major crude lines.
Produced Water Management Services
Western Midstream Partners provides produced water gathering, disposal wells, and recycling facilities, handling volumes exceeding 100,000 barrels per day in 2024 and generating roughly $75–90 million in annual EBITDA contribution from water services.
Producers favor these services for lower transport costs and reuse rates; Western reported recycling recovery rates near 40% in 2024, cutting customers' freshwater needs and disposal spend.

Western Midstream designs and builds gathering and processing infrastructure in high-growth basins like the Permian, where it reported 2024 gathered volumes ~2.1 Bcf/d and ~$1.9B capex guidance for 2025 to support production growth.
Engineering optimizes system layout to cut emissions and boost throughput, and on-time project delivery is the main lever for sustaining long-term distribution growth to unitholders.
- 2024 gathered volumes ~2.1 Bcf/d
- 2025 capex guidance ~$1.9B
- Focus: emissions reduction, throughput efficiency
