Western Gas Partners LP is buying the Bison gas treating facility and related assets in the Powder River Basin from Anadarko Petroleum Corp. for $130 million. “The cash flow profile of the Bison assets, which is 100% fee-based and entirely supported by demand charges, is a great addition to WES’ portfolio,” said Western Gas Partners CEO Don Sinclair. The Bison assets are in northeastern Wyoming and have a combined carbon dioxide treating capacity of 450 MMcf/d. Western Gas expects to finance the acquisition with $25 million of cash and the issuance of 2,950,284 common units to Anadarko and 60,210 general partner units to Western Gas Holdings LLC, the partnership’s general partner, at about $34.88/unit. The deal is expected to close early this month with an effective date of July 1, 2011.
