On August 12, 2019, Sanchez Energy Corporation and certain of its affiliated companies (collectively, “Sanchez”) filed a voluntary petition for relief under Chapter 11 of the U.S.
Bankruptcy Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas.

+Added: While Sanchez holds a working interest in the acreage dedicated to our Springfield system, Sanchez also was the upstream operator for substantially all of the natural gas, crude oil, and NGLs that the Springfield system gathers and that WES processes in the Eagle Ford Shale Play.
On April 29, 2020, we received notice that Sanchez filed a motion to reject a number of midstream and downstream agreements with commercial counterparties, including Sanchez’s Springfield gathering agreements and agreements obligating Sanchez to deliver the gas volumes gathered by the Springfield system to our Brasada processing plant.
−Removed: Pursuant to a July 1, 2020, ruling by the U.S.
−Removed: Bankruptcy Court, Sanchez’s operatorship of the relevant acreage may shift to Gavilan Resources LLC, an entity that itself had filed for Chapter 11 protection on May 15, 2020, or potentially another party.
We do not believe the Springfield gathering and related agreements are eligible for rejection as a matter of law, and we have therefore filed both an objection to the proposed rejection, and an adversary proceeding for a declaratory judgment that such agreements may not be rejected.
−Removed: We cannot make any assurances regarding the ultimate outcome of these proceedings and their resulting impact on WES due to the uncertainties associated with the bankruptcy process.
+Added: On May 15, 2020, Gavilan Resources LLC (“Gavilan”), an entity that owns a 25% working interest in the acreage where the Springfield gathering system and Brasada processing plant are located, also filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection.
+Added: As a part of this bankruptcy, Mesquite Energy, Inc.
+Added: (the successor to Sanchez) (“Mesquite”) purchased Gavilan’s assets at auction.
+Added: Gavilan did not assume and assign its agreements with Springfield as part of its asset sale.
+Added: Instead, the assets sold to Mesquite remain subject to any covenants, servitudes, or similar agreements that could be equitable servitudes or covenants running with the land, pending a further order of the bankruptcy court.
+Added: As with the Sanchez agreements, we do not believe Gavilan’s agreements may be rejected or left behind and believe they should remain attached to the Gavilan assets.
+Added: We cannot make any assurances regarding the ultimate outcome of these Sanchez and Gavilan proceedings and their resulting impact on WES due to the uncertainties associated with the bankruptcy process.
+Added: On October 29, 2020, WGR, on behalf of itself and derivatively on behalf of Mont Belvieu JV, filed suit against Enterprise Products Operating, LLC (“Enterprise”) and Mont Belvieu JV (as a nominal defendant) in the District Court of Harris County, Texas.
+Added: Our lawsuit seeks a declaratory judgment regarding proper revenue allocation as set forth in the Operating Agreement between Mont Belvieu JV (of which WGR is a 25% owner) and Enterprise (the “Operating Agreement”) related to fractionation trains at the Mont Belvieu complex in Chambers County, Texas.
+Added: Specifically, the Operating Agreement sets forth a revenue allocation structure, whereby revenue would be allocated to the various fracs at the Mont Belvieu complex in sequential order, with Fracs VII and VIII (which are owned by Mont Belvieu JV) following Fracs I through VI, but preceding any “Later Frac Facilities.” Subsequent to the construction of Fracs VII and VIII, Enterprise built Fracs IX, X, and XI, which it wholly owns, and has signaled its intention to treat such subsequent fracs as outside the Mont Belvieu revenue allocation.
+Added: We do not believe Enterprise’s attempt to bypass the agreed-to revenue allocation is proper under the parties’ agreements and now seek judicial determination.
+Added: We currently sue only for declaratory judgment to avoid potential future damages.
+Added: We cannot make any assurances regarding the ultimate outcome of this proceeding and its resulting impact on WGR or WES.
Except as discussed above, we are not a party to any legal, regulatory, or administrative proceedings other than proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business.
