Whiptail Midstream Acquires Anadarko Basin Gathering and Compression Assets

Whiptail Holdings II, LLC (“Whiptail Midstream”) has completed the acquisition of natural gas gathering pipelines and compression assets in the Anadarko Basin from The Williams Companies (“Williams”).

The assets include approximately 1,200 miles of natural gas gathering pipelines and associated compression facilities serving more than one million dedicated acres across Alfalfa, Beckham, Roger Mills, Washita, Woods, and Woodward counties in Oklahoma, and Hemphill and Wheeler counties in Texas.

Whiptail Midstream was formed by Josh Lamberton, John Poarch, Elliot Metzger, and Jeremy McCurley, who collectively bring more than 100 years of experience operating, developing, and expanding midstream infrastructure across the United States. Lamberton and McCurley previously led Whiptail Midstream, LLC, an independent predecessor to Whiptail Holdings II, LLC, where they acquired, developed, and monetized midstream assets serving producers in the San Juan Basin.  Whiptail Midstream has been represented in the transaction by its legal counsel, Barrow | Grimm, P.C.

“Whiptail is pleased to enter the Anadarko Basin with a high-quality asset base and a strong operations team with a long history of safe, efficient, and reliable operations,” said Lamberton. “We look forward to supporting producers in the region and pursuing additional growth opportunities.”

“The more than one million acres dedicated to the Whiptail Anadarko Midstream systems represent premier upstream operators we are proud to serve,” added Poarch. “The Anadarko Basin remains a highly productive region with attractive long-term development potential.”

Whiptail Midstream will operate the system and plans to pursue commercial growth opportunities with existing and prospective producers while evaluating additional expansion opportunities across the United States.
