HOUSTON, June 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Western Midstream Partners, LP ("WES" or the "Partnership") (NYSE:WES) today announced it closed the previously announced acquisition of Brazos Delaware II, LLC ("Brazos") for approximately $1.6 billion. Transaction consideration comprised approximately $800 million in cash and approximately $800 million in WES common units. WES issued approximately 19.4 million units based on the volume weighted average WES common unit price at the time the acquisition agreement was signed. The Brazos acquisition expands WES's gathering and processing footprint in the Delaware Basin and aligns with WES's philosophy of only deploying capital that sustains or grows its distribution. The transaction also met the objectives of accretion to per-unit metrics, protecting the Partnership's balance sheet and investment grade credit ratings, and diversifying its customer base and ownership.
