Anadarko Petroleum Corp. is selling what is largely left of its
midstream assets to Western Gas Partners LP, a partnership it
formed a decade ago, in a deal that it said is valued at about
$4.02 billion.
Western Gas Partners will be buying all of Anadarko's stake in
DBM Oil Services and APC Water Holdings and half of its nonoperated
interests in Bone Spring Gas Plant and MiVida Gas Plant. The
partnership will also buy Anadarko's full stakes in DJ Basin Oil
System and Wattenberg Plant, both of which are in northeast
Colorado, Anadarko said. Western Gas is also buying Anadarko's
various equity interests in three different pipelines.
Anadarko said of the $4.02 billion, nearly $2.01 billion is in
cash. The rest of the deal is in Western Gas equity, Anadarko
said.
Anadarko started Western Gas Partners 10 years ago to
specifically focus on midstream energy assets, according to
Anadarko's website.
Western Gas Partners along with Western Gas Equity Partners LP,
a partnership also formed by Anadarko, said Thursday that Western
Gas Equity Partners will buy Western Gas Partners and basically all
of Anadarko's stake in the firm as well. Western Gas Equity
Partners will own the bulk of Western Gas Partners, and Anadarko
will own 2%, the Western Gas entities said.
For every share of Western Gas Partners they own, those
shareholders will get about 1.53 shares of Western Gas Equity
Partners, the companies said. Western Gas Partners will no longer
be publicly traded after the deal, the entities added.
Shares of all three entities were unchanged in premarket
trading.
