WhiteWater Midstream Announces New Commitments and Strategic Partner
AUSTIN, Texas–(BUSINESS WIRE)–WhiteWater Midstream today announced that it has recently completed an
agreement with WPX Energy, which provides WPX with 300,000 MMBtu/d of
natural gas transportation capacity from the Stateline area to Waha and
grants WPX a 10 percent ownership interest in Agua Blanca. As part of
the agreement, WPX has the right to increase its capacity to 500,000
MMBtu/d and its ownership up to 20 percent.
Construction of Agua Blanca remains on schedule with the initial
commissioning of the project expected during the fourth quarter of 2017
and the complete path from Orla to Waha operational by the end of the
first quarter of 2018.
“We are excited to be partnering with a company the caliber of WPX on
Agua Blanca. Their team has done an extraordinary job in the Delaware
Basin positioning WPX for substantial growth over the coming years. WPX
is subscribing for a significant amount of capacity on the pipe, and
with potential future Permian growth and strong interest from additional
shippers, we are already considering expansion options for Agua Blanca,”
