Free option on their own operations: management describes a real capability it already owns that could serve a second, m
The model's full reasoning — Q3 2018 call → NOWe need answer YES or NO. Need analyze transcript for situation: existing working capability, second larger use, already converting with numbers barely show it. Transcript: Western Gas Partners, LP. Need identify if management describes something company already owns/operates for existing business turned out useful for second much larger purpose, and recently begun turning second use into real business. Key topics: Delaware Basin, Ramsey facility running above nameplate, water services strong demand. Water business? They have produced water gathering and disposal. They mention "strong demand for our water services." Also crude, NGL, produced water throughput growth. Adjusted gross margin for crude/NGL/prod water. Water volumes increase. They have water capacity 120,000 barrels, expected grow to 180 by end of next year. Is water a second use? Natural gas midstream assets? Existing gas processing infrastructure in Delaware, and water services? Let's examine. Question asks: "SOMETHING THE COMPANY ALREADY OWNS AND ALREADY OPERATES FOR ITS EXISTING BUSINESS HAS TURNED OUT TO BE USEFUL FOR A SECOND, MUCH LARGER PURPOSE — and that the company has recently BEGUN turning that second use into real business, without having had to build a new company to do it?" Need see if management conveys that. The transcript: "Our Ramsey facility is currently running above nameplate capacity and we continue to see strong demand for our water services." Ramsey facility is gas processing? Water services maybe existing water infrastructure? Hmm. Also "The growth in our crude, NGL and produced water throughput was driven by a full quarter contribution from Whitethorn, as well as the ongoing volumetric ramp in our produced water gathering and disposal business." Whitethorn is acquisition? "full quarter contribution from Whitethorn" - that's a JV? They own interest in Whitethorn? Not existing capability for second use, it's acquired. Another possibility: They have gas processing facilities, and water services are second use? Produced water gathering/disposal might be separate business line. Did they build water infrastructure? They have water services. Is that second use materially bigger? Not clear. Another: "Our Ramsey facility is currently running above nameplate capacity" - Ramsey is gas processing plant in Delaware.
