PART I
ITEMS 1 AND 2. BUSINESS AND PROPERTIES
General Development of the Business
Western Gas Resources, Inc. (the "Company") is an independent gas gatherer and
processor with operations located in major oil and gas-producing basins in the
Rocky Mountain, Gulf Coast and Southwestern regions of the United States. The
Company owns and operates natural gas gathering, processing and storage
facilities and markets and transports natural gas and natural gas liquids
("NGLs"). The Company provides necessary services to the producers of natural
gas and NGLs by connecting producers' wells to the Company's gathering system
for delivery to its processing plants, processing the gas to remove NGLs and
by-products and marketing the gas and NGLs throughout the United States. Most
of the natural gas processed by the Company is associated gas from oil wells.
The Company also owns certain producing properties primarily in Louisiana and
Texas.
The Company, a Delaware corporation, was formed in October 1989 to serve as
general partner of Western Gas Processors, Ltd. (the "Partnership"). The
Company's initial public offering occurred in December 1989 when the Company
sold 3,527,500 shares of common stock and used the net proceeds along with
other assets to acquire a 52% interest in the Partnership. Substantially all
business activities were conducted through the Partnership. In order to create
a more efficient operating structure and a more liquid publicly-held security,
the Company and the Partnership were merged in May 1991 (the "Restructuring").
In the Restructuring, the Company acquired all the limited partner units it
did not already own in exchange for 10.2 million shares of newly issued Common
Stock of the Company, all of the Partnership's assets were transferred to the
Company's direct ownership by operation of law and the Partnership ceased to
exist. The Restructuring was a reorganization of entities under common control
and has been accounted for at historical cost in a manner similar to a pooling
of interests. The Company has restated all historical financial information to
reflect the Restructuring.
In October 1991, the Company issued 400,000 shares of 7.25% cumulative
perpetual convertible preferred stock ("7.25% Convertible Preferred Stock")
with a liquidation preference of $100 per share to an institutional investor.
In November 1991, the Company issued 4,115,000 shares of common stock at a
public offering price of $18.375 per share.
In November 1992, the Company issued 1,400,000 shares of $2.28 cumulative
preferred stock ("$2.28 Cumulative Preferred Stock"), with a liquidation
preference of $25 per share, at a public offering price of $25 per share.
On November 12, 1993, the Company's registration statement filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Registration") on
3
Form S-3 (Registration No. 33-66516) was declared effective. The Registration
provides for the sale of up to $200 million of debt securities and preferred
stock and up to 4 million shares of common stock. On February 28, 1994, the
Company sold, pursuant to the Registration, 2,760,000 shares of $2.625
Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock ("$2.625 Convertible Preferred Stock")
for net proceeds of $133.5 million, which have been used to repay a portion of
the debt incurred under the Company's Revolving Credit facility to acquire
Mountain Gas Resources, Inc. ("Mountain Gas") and the Black Lake gas
processing plant and related reserves ("Black Lake").
The Company's principal offices are located at 12200 N. Pecos Street, Denver,
Colorado 80234-3439, and its telephone number is (303) 452-5603.
Growth, Acquisitions and Dispositions
Since the Company's formation in 1977, its strategy has been to expand through
acquisitions and internal project development. During 1993, the Company
continued this expansion by completing a series of acquisitions, forming a
joint venture and completing the development of the Katy Gas Storage Facility.
These activities have strengthened the Company's position in several major
producing basins and expanded its access to multiple natural gas markets,
including East Coast markets which the Company had not previously serviced.
The table below describes the Company's growth from December 31, 1992 to
December 31, 1993:

acquisitions described below as if such acquisitions had been completed on
January 1, 1993.
The Company's major projects, acquisitions and dispositions since January 1,
1991 are:
Mountain Gas
On July 29, 1993, effective January 1, 1993, the Company acquired the stock of
Mountain Gas from Morgan Stanley Leveraged Equity Fund II, L.P. for total
consideration of approximately $168.2 million, including the payment of certain
transaction costs and the assumption and repayment of $35 million of long-term
debt of Mountain Gas.
4
Mountain Gas owns the Red Desert and Granger facilities, both located near the
Company's Lincoln Road gas processing plant and gathering system. The 22%
interest in the Granger facility previously not owned by Mountain Gas was
purchased by the Company in two separate transactions in November and December
1993 for an aggregate of $27.7 million. At the date of acquisition, the Red
Desert facility consisted of a cryogenic plant and the Granger plant consisted
of a refrigeration unit and a cryogenic unit. In December 1993, the Company
completed construction of an additional cryogenic processing plant at Granger,
at a total cost of $15.2 million.
In December 1993, a fire at the Granger facility's NGL tank farm required the
facility to be shut down for one week. The new cryogenic processing plant as
well as the smaller existing cryogenic unit were also damaged. Gas throughput
at the facility has since reached levels experienced before the fire, and the
Company expects it to be fully operational in May 1994 when the construction
of a new tank farm and repairs to the cryogenic units are expected to be
completed. The Company believes that insurance will cover, subject to certain
deductibles, substantially all of the costs related to rebuilding the NGL tank
farm and the other affected facilities, the interruption of business and
third-party claims, if any.
Black Lake
On September 27, 1993, effective January 1, 1993, the Company purchased Black
Lake from Nerco Oil & Gas, Inc. for approximately $136.2 million. The
acquisition includes a 68.9% working interest in the Black Lake field in
Louisiana and a gas processing plant. The purchase also included 50% of the
stock of Black Lake Pipeline Company, which owns a 240 mile liquids pipeline
extending from Cotton Valley, Louisiana to Mont Belvieu, Texas and transports
NGLs for Black Lake and three unaffiliated gas processing plants.
Westana Joint Venture
Effective August 1, 1993, the Company formed Westana Gathering Company
("Westana"), a general partnership, with Panhandle Eastern Pipe Line
Corporation ("PEPL"). Westana provides gas gathering and processing services
in the Anadarko Basin in Oklahoma and markets natural gas and NGLs for
producers connected to its system. The Company is the principal operator with
each partner holding a 50% ownership interest.
The Company contributed its Chester gas processing plant and gathering system,
with a net book value of $13.8 million, to Westana. Westana also operates
PEPL's 400 mile gathering system, which will be contributed to Westana, after
abandonment approval by the FERC. The Company is committed to provide an
additional partnership contribution of $8.3 million, of which $4.8 million was
contributed through December 31, 1993, for necessary modifications to the
gathering system. This contribution will be recouped by the Company through
preferential partnership distributions.
5
Katy Gas Storage Facility
The Company has completed the construction of the Katy Gas Storage Facility
located approximately 20 miles from Houston, Texas. Lease acquisition and
construction costs incurred through December 31, 1993, including pad gas,
approximate $90 million and excludes capitalized pre-operating costs. The
Katy Gas Storage Facility commenced operations in January 1994. The complex
consists of a partially depleted natural gas reservoir with over 17 Bcf of
working gas and the capability to deliver up to 400 MMcf/D of natural gas as
well as a pipeline header system currently connecting seven pipelines with the
capability to connect six additional pipelines.
UTP System
On November 1, 1991, the Company purchased the gas processing division of
Union Texas Products Corporation, a subsidiary of Union Texas Petroleum
Holdings, Inc. (collectively referred to as the "UTP system"). The total
consideration was $142.7 million. The acquisition included 12 plants in Texas,
Oklahoma and Louisiana.
Midkiff/Benedum System
Effective October 1, 1992, the Company sold a 20% undivided interest (which
interest may increase based upon future expansion of the plants to accommodate
increased gas volumes) in the Midkiff and Benedum gas processing plants to the
major producer in the area of the plant for $22 million.
Description of Operations
Historically, the Company has derived over 90% of its revenues from the sale
of natural gas and NGLs. Set forth below are the Company's revenues by type of
operation ($000s):

======== ===== ======== ===== ======== =====
Gas Gathering and Processing
The Company contracts with producers to gather raw natural gas from individual
wells located near its plants. Once a contract has been executed, the Company
connects wells to gathering lines through which the natural gas is delivered
to a processing plant. At the plant, the natural gas is compressed,
unfractionated NGLs are extracted, and the remaining dry residue gas is
treated to meet pipeline quality specifications. Ten of the Company's
processing plants can further separate, or fractionate, the mixed NGL stream
6
into ethane, propane, butane and natural gasoline to obtain higher value for
the NGLs. In addition, the Reno Junction Isomerization facility converts
normal butane into iso-butane. Seven of the Company's plants are able to
process and treat natural gas containing hydrogen sulfide or other impurities
which require removal prior to transportation.
The Company continually acquires additional natural gas supplies to maintain
or increase throughput levels to offset natural production declines in
dedicated volumes. Such natural gas supplies are obtained by purchasing
existing systems from third parties or by connecting additional wells. The
opportunity to connect new wells to existing facilities is primarily affected
by levels of drilling activity near the Company's gathering systems. The
Company believes it has expanded into areas which present significant
potential for new drilling or purchases of existing systems. Historically,
the Company has connected additional reserves which more than offset
production from reserves dedicated to existing facilities. However, certain
individual plants have experienced declines in dedicated reserves. In 1993,
excluding reserves acquired in the Mountain Gas and Black Lake acquisitions
and including reserves associated with Westana, the Company connected new
reserves to its gathering systems replacing 118% of 1993 production. On a
Company-wide basis, dedicated reserves, including certain proved undeveloped
properties, totaled approximately 1.95 Tcf at December 31, 1993.
Substantially all natural gas flowing through Company facilities is supplied
under long-term contracts providing for the dedication for purchase or
processing of such natural gas for periods ranging from 5 to 20 years. Under
the typical natural gas purchase contract, the Company is responsible for
arranging the transportation and marketing of the natural gas and NGLs after
processing. However, some contracts are structured as natural gas processing
arrangements in which gathering and processing services are performed for a
fee and the producer retains marketing responsibility for the natural gas.
In most of its gathering areas, the Company's policy is to structure natural
gas purchase contracts on a percentage-of-proceeds basis under which it is
entitled to a specified percentage of the net proceeds received from the
resale of residue gas and NGLs along with ancillary fees for treating,
compression and marketing services. Percentage-of-proceeds contracts provide
for the Company and producers to share proportionally in price changes. The
Company's existing contracts typically entitle it to retain the same
percentage, typically between 20% to 40%, of the net proceeds from the resale
of residue gas and NGLs. For the year ended December 31, 1993, percentage-of-
proceeds contracts accounted for approximately 85% of natural gas throughput
(exclusive of straddle plants).
Under its gas processing contracts, the Company collects fees based on the
volume of natural gas processed or receives a predetermined percentage,
ranging from 40% to 85%, of the NGLs produced. For the year ended December
31, 1993, natural gas processing contracts
7
accounted for 13% of natural gas throughput and other fee-based contracts
accounted for 2% of natural gas throughput (exclusive of straddle plants).
Approximately 70% of the natural gas processed at the recently acquired
Mountain Gas facilities is subject to contracts that combine gathering and
compression fees with "keep whole" arrangements. Typically, the producer is
charged a gathering and compression fee of $.10 to $.33 per Mcf of natural gas
gathered and delivered to the processing facility. In addition, the Company
retains the NGLs recovered at the processing facility and keeps the producer
whole by returning to the producer at the tailgate of the plant an amount of
residue gas equal on a Btu basis to the raw natural gas received at the plant
inlet. The fixed nature of the gathering and compression fees reduces the
Company's exposure to the margin volatility of residue gas and NGLs typically
experienced in pure "keep-whole" arrangements. The remaining 30% of contracts
at the Mountain Gas facilities consists of either percentage-of-proceeds or
fee-based contracts.

Marketing
Natural Gas
The Company markets residue gas produced at its plants and purchased from
third parties to end-users, local distribution companies ("LDCs"), pipelines
and other marketing companies throughout the United States. The Company's
success in obtaining markets for residue gas has been an important factor in
maintaining production levels for its producers and throughput levels for its
gas plants. No production behind the Company's facilities has been shut-in or
curtailed as a result of the Company's failure to perform under its marketing
agreements.
In recent years, the Company has significantly increased its marketing
capabilities. Increased third party sales and sales attributable to new
plants have primarily accounted for the increase in average daily gas sales
from 442 MMcf/D for the year ended December 31, 1992 to 755 MMcf/D for the
year ended December 31, 1993. While continuing to increase sales to end-users
and to achieve greater market penetration close to its facilities, the Company
has expanded into new markets throughout the United States.
Most of the Company's current sales contracts are short-term, ranging from a
few days to one year. At December 31, 1993, the Company's commitment under
long-term contracts, several of which have an annual redetermination of prices
and several of which are rebid prior to expiration, was approximately 170
MMcf/D.
The Company intends to maintain its residue gas marketing and third party
sales to ensure a market for its products. Third party sales and residue gas
storage, combined with the stable supply from Company facilities, enable the
Company to respond quickly to changing market conditions and to take greater
advantage of seasonal price variations and peak demand periods. This creates
an opportunity for the Company to obtain a higher price on average for its
delivered residue gas than the price obtained by other marketers or brokers.
The Company customarily stores residue gas in underground storage facilities
to assure an adequate supply for long-term sales contracts and for resale
during periods when prices are favorable. At December 31, 1993, the Company
held approximately 7.9 Bcf of residue gas inventory in underground storage at
an average cost of $1.97 per Mcf ($1.81 per MMbtu). From time to time, the
Company hedges a portion of its residue gas volumes and requirements under
residue gas sales contracts on the futures market.
In order to meet the peaking demand for residue gas in certain markets, the
Company designed and constructed the Katy Gas Storage Facility. The ability
to withdraw gas from the Katy Gas Storage Facility on short notice positions
the Company to market residue gas to LDCs and other customers that need a
reliable yet variable
11
supply of residue gas. The Katy Gas Storage Facility will also allow the
Company to bypass transportation bottlenecks and enhance flexibility in its
marketing operations. The complex consists of a partially depleted natural
gas reservoir with over 17 Bcf of working gas and the capability to deliver up
to 400 MMcf/D of residue gas as well as a pipeline header system currently
connecting seven pipelines with the capability to connect six additional
pipelines. The pipeline header system, together with the Black Lake
acquisition, provides access to markets in the Midwest and on the East Coast
not previously serviced by the Company.
In December 1993, the Company entered into a three-year winter-peaking gas
purchase and sales agreement with a major utility in East Texas which
designates the Katy Gas Storage Facility as the primary delivery point. Under
the agreement, the utility has the right to purchase, during each year of the
contract, up to approximately 30,000 MMBtu of gas per day in November and
March and 70,000 MMBtu of gas per day in December, January and February,
determined daily, at the Houston Ship Channel Index Price plus a demand
charge. The agreement calls for minimum delivery of three million MMBtu of
natural gas per year.
As part of its strategy to penetrate East Coast markets and to utilize Black
Lake and the Katy Gas Storage Facility more effectively, in July 1993 the
Company acquired the assets of Citizens National Gas Company which was
headquartered in Boston, Massachusetts. This acquisition provides the company
with an established East Coast marketing operation which sold an average of
approximately 350 MMcf/D of natural gas during the first six months of 1993.
During the year ended December 31, 1992, the Company sold residue gas to
approximately 150 end-user, pipeline, LDC and other customers. As a result of
the Citizens acquisition, the number of residue gas customers increased to
approximately 315 for the year ended December 31, 1993, further reducing the
Company's reliance on any single customer. No single customer accounted for
more than 10% of consolidated revenues for the year ended December 31, 1993.
NGL Marketing
The Company markets NGLs (ethane, propane, iso-butane, normal butane, natural
gasoline, and condensate) produced at its plants and purchased from third
parties to the Rocky Mountain, Mid-Continent and Gulf Coast regions. A
majority of the Company's production of NGLs now moves to the Gulf Coast area,
which is the largest NGL market in the United States. Through the development
of end-use markets and distribution capabilities, the Company ensures that
production from the plants moves on a reliable basis and avoids curtailment of
production.
12
The volatility of NGL prices over the past years has caused the Company to
move to short-term contracts, with no prices set on a firm basis for more than
a 30-day period. Although some contracts do commit the Company for periods as
long as a year, prices are redetermined on a market-related basis. Storage
space is leased at the major trading locations, near Houston and in central
Kansas, in order to store products so that they can be sold at higher prices
on a seasonal basis. At December 31, 1993, approximately 17.3 million gallons
of NGLs were in storage at an average cost of $.30 per gallon. The Company
generally intends that stored liquids turn over on an annual basis.
For the year ended December 31, 1993, NGL sales averaged 2,941 MGal per day,
an increase from 2,400 MGal per day in 1992. Sales were made to approximately
170 different customers and no single customer accounted for more than 10% of
the Company's consolidated revenues for the year ended December 31, 1993.
Revenues are also derived from marketing fees charged to some producers for
NGL marketing services. At December 31, 1993, such fees were less than 1% of
the Company's consolidated revenues.
Producing Properties
Revenues derived from the Company's producing properties comprised
approximately 3.4% of revenues for the year ended December 31, 1993. The
producing properties are primarily working interests in a unit operated by the
Company in the Black Lake field in Louisiana which provides production to the
Black Lake plant and 20 gas units/wells producing from the Smackover formation
of the East Texas Basin which provide production to the Edgewood plant. Eight
of these units/wells are operated by the Company. The Company also has working
interests in six units in the Powder River Basin in northeast Wyoming and
three gas wells in the San Juan Basin in southwest Colorado.
Competition
The Company competes with other companies in the gathering, processing,
marketing and transmission business both for supplies of residue gas and for
customers to which to sell its residue gas and NGLs. Competition for residue
gas supplies is primarily based on efficiency, reliability, availability of
transportation and ability to obtain a satisfactory price for the producers'
residue gas. Competition for customers is primarily based upon reliability
and/or price of deliverable residue gas and NGLs. For customers that have the
capability of using alternative fuels, such as oil and coal, the Company also
competes based primarily on price against companies capable of providing such
alternative fuels.
13
Environmental Matters
The construction and operation of the Company's gathering lines, plants and
other facilities used for the gathering, transporting, processing, treating or
storing of residue gas and NGLs are subject to federal, state and local
environmental laws and regulations, including those that can impose
obligations to clean up hazardous substances at the Company's facilities or at
facilities to which the Company sends wastes for disposal. In most instances,
the applicable regulatory requirements relate to water and air pollution
control or solid waste management procedures. The Company believes that it is
in substantial compliance with applicable material environmental laws and
regulations. Environmental regulation can increase the cost of planning,
designing, constructing and operating the Company's facilities. The Company
believes that the costs for compliance with current environmental laws and
regulations have not and will not have a material effect on the Company's
results of operation.
In 1990, the Congress enacted the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990 (the "Clean
Air Act") which impose more stringent standards on emissions of certain
pollutants and require the permitting of certain existing air emissions
sources. Many of the regulations have not been promulgated and until their
promulgation, the Company cannot make a final assessment of the impact of the
Clean Air Act. However, based upon its preliminary review of the proposed
regulations, the Company does not anticipate that compliance with the Clean
Air Act will require any material capital expenditures, although it will
increase permitting costs in 1994 and 1995 and may increase certain operating
costs on an on-going basis. The Company does not believe that such cost
increases will have a material effect on the Company's results of operations.
The Company believes that it is reasonably likely that the trend in
environmental legislation and regulation will continue to be towards stricter
standards. The Company is unaware of future environmental standards that are
reasonably likely to be adopted that will have a material effect on the
Company's results of operations, but cannot rule out that possibility.
The Company is in the process of cleaning up certain releases of non-hazardous
substances at facilities that it operates. In addition, the former owner of
certain facilities that the Company acquired in 1992 is conducting cleanups at
those facilities pursuant to contractual obligations. The Company's
expenditures for environmental evaluation and remediation at existing
facilities have not been significant in relation to the results of operations
of the Company and totaled approximately $1.4 million for the year ended
December 31, 1993. For the year ended December 31, 1993, the Company paid an
aggregate of approximately $565,000 in air emissions fees to the states in
which it operated. Although the Company anticipates that such air emissions
fees will increase over
14
time, the Company does not believe that such increases will have a material
effect on the Company's results of operations.
The Company employs six environmental engineers to monitor environmental
compliance and potential liabilities at its facilities. Prior to consummating
any major acquisition, the Company's environmental engineers perform audits on
the facilities to be acquired. In addition, on an on-going basis, the
environmental engineers perform informal environmental assessments of the
Company's existing facilities. To date, the Company has not found any
material environmental noncompliance or cleanup liabilities, the costs of
which would reasonably be expected to have, in the aggregate, a material
effect on the Company's results of operations.
Regulation
The purchase and sale of natural gas and the fees received for gathering and
processing by the Company have generally not been subject to regulation, and
therefore, except as constrained by competitive factors, it has considerable
pricing flexibility. Many aspects of the gathering, processing, marketing and
transportation of natural gas and NGLs by the Company, however, are subject to
federal, state and local laws and regulations which can have a significant
impact upon the Company's overall operations.
As a processor and marketer of natural gas, the Company is dependent on the
transportation and storage services offered by various interstate pipeline
companies to enable the delivery and sale of its own gas supplies as well as
those it processes and/or markets for others. Both the performance of
transportation and storage services by interstate pipelines, and the rates
charged for such services, are subject to the jurisdiction of the Federal
Energy Regulatory Commission ("FERC") under the Natural Gas Act of 1938 (the
"NGA") and the Natural Gas Policy Act of 1978 (the "NGPA"). The availability
of interstate transportation and storage service necessary to enable the
Company to make deliveries and/or sales of residue gas can at times be pre-
empted by other system users in accordance with FERC-approved methods for
allocating the system capacity of "open access" pipelines. Moreover, the
rates charged by pipelines for such services are often subject to negotiation
between shippers and the pipelines within certain FERC-established parameters
and will periodically vary depending upon individual system usage and other
factors. An inability to obtain transportation and/or storage services at
competitive rates can hinder the Company's processing and marketing operations
and/or affect its sales margins.
During the past ten years the FERC has implemented a nondiscriminatory blanket
transportation program which initially authorized, and ultimately mandated,
interstate natural gas pipelines to perform "open access," self-implementing
(i.e., not
-----
15
generally requiring case-specific certificate authorization) transportation
services. Order Nos. 636, et seq., which constitute the FERC's most recent
-------
issuances in this program, promulgated regulations that substantially
restructure the services provided by interstate pipelines by "unbundling"
(i.e. separating) and separately pricing pipeline gathering, transportation,
-----
storage and sales activities in an effort to enable non-pipeline merchants to
compete with pipelines for gas purchasers on an equal basis. These
regulations have largely been implemented by all interstate transporters
utilized by the Company (as well as by the Company's own non-major interstate
pipeline located in Wyoming) in numerous individual pipeline restructuring and
rate proceedings. The conversion of pipelines from natural gas merchants to
primarily transporters of gas through implementation of the FERC's open access
transportation and restructuring programs has caused the pipelines to incur
significant producer take-or-pay costs and other transition costs resulting
from their abandonment of gas purchasing and sales activities. The FERC has
allowed, and indicated in Order Nos. 636, et seq. that it will continue to
------
allow, the recovery of some or all of these and related costs from current
shippers of gas. Pipeline flow-through of many of these costs is subject to
the outcome of administrative and appellate proceedings in individual pipeline
rate and restructuring cases, and Order No. 636, et seq. themselves are
------
currently the subject of numerous petitions for appellate review presently
pending in the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia
Circuit. The outcome of these proceedings could affect the Company's
operations and the costs of transporting and selling gas.
FERC Order Nos. 490, et seq. issued in 1988, provide for the abandonment of
------
certain sales and purchases of natural gas previously dedicated to interstate
commerce under the NGA without receiving case-specific abandonment authority,
under certain circumstances where such is contractually permissible. Although
the Company has utilized the regulations promulgated by these orders to
terminate and/or modify certain of its gas purchases and sales contracts,
judicial review of such orders has been sought in proceedings pending before
the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit. Vacation of these orders
could result in a finding that certain of the Company's contracts had been
improperly terminated; however, subsequent legislative and administrative
decontrol of wellhead prices of natural gas would have the effect of limiting
any potential adverse impact upon the Company which might ultimately result
from such an appellate holding.
Pursuant to the Section 1(b) of the NGA, production and gathering activities
are exempt from the FERC's jurisdiction; however, judicial precedent has held
that where gathering is performed largely in connection with the delivery of
gas in interstate commerce, such gathering can be considered merely an
extension of the jurisdictional transportation of such gas and thus subject to
NGA rate regulation itself. Recently, primarily as a result of the
16
aforementioned unbundling of interstate pipeline gathering services required
by Order No. 636, et seq., the FERC has undertaken an administrative inquiry
------
into the questions of whether and to what degree the gathering activities of
providers of these services (particularly those with interstate pipeline
affiliates) can and should be regulated under the NGA. The Company engages
extensively in natural gas gathering activities in conjunction with its
operations of gas processing facilities and elsewhere, and it could be
affected by the FERC's final determination of the questions being examined.
At this initial stage, however, the probable outcome and impact of these FERC
inquiries is too speculative to predict.
Employees
At December 31, 1993, the Company employed 825 full-time employees, none of
whom was a union member. The Company considers relations with employees to be
excellent.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
Toca
On March 4, 1993, the Company filed a complaint against Warren Petroleum
Company, Arco Oil & Gas Co., Conoco Inc., Trident NGL, Inc. and other owners
of the Yscloskey Gas Plant located in Louisiana (the "Owners") in the United
States District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana, alleging various
violations by the defendants of the federal anti-trust laws in connection with
a Hydrocarbon Fractionation Agreement at its Toca plant between the Company
and the Owners of the Yscloskey plant. The Company also filed a companion
state-court action involving the same parties in Civil District Court for the
Parish of Orleans, State of Louisiana, which the defendants removed to United
States District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana. The Company and
Warren Petroleum Company (in its capacity as the designated Operator for the
Yscloskey Plant) have recently negotiated a new Hydrocarbon Fractionation
Agreement, which has been executed by substantially all of the Owners of the
Yscloskey Plant. The new 15-year agreement provides for a reduced
fractionation fee of 9.25% and eliminates the uncertainty regarding uneconomic
performance of the Yscloskey plant. The Company anticipates dismissing the
various complaints with prejudice.
Edgewood
On January 16, 1991, problems at the Company's Edgewood Plant relating to both
equipment that removes hydrogen sulfide from unprocessed natural gas and the
monitoring equipment owned by the purchaser of the residue gas, Enserch
Corporation, doing business as Lone Star Gas Company ("Lone Star"), allowed
residue gas containing hydrogen sulfide to enter Lone Star's transmission line
supplying residue gas to Emory, Texas.
The Company has been named as a co-defendant, along with Lone Star, in the
following complaints relating to the incident: Gary Prather, et al. v. Enserch
-------------------------------
Corporation, et al., filed March 15, 1993, Barbara Rogers, et al., v. Enserch
------------------- ----------------------------------

------------------- ----------------------------
Corporation, et al., filed on December 17, 1993, Sandra Parker, et al. v
------------------- -----------------------
Enserch Corporation, et al., filed on January 13, 1994, and Carma Brumit v.
--------------------------- ---------------
Enserch, et al., filed on January 18, 1994.
---------------
All the cases have been filed in the District Court, Rains County, Texas,
354th Judicial District, and make similar claims, asserting, among other
things, that the defendants breached an implied
18
warranty of merchantability, falsely represented that the residue gas was
safe, were negligent and are liable under a strict liability theory. The
plaintiffs have alleged a variety of respiratory and neurological illnesses
and are seeking treble damages, exemplary damages and attorneys' fees. Prior
to the filing of the complaints, the Company received demand letters from the
plaintiffs that sought, in the aggregate, approximately $36 million. Damages
claimed in the lawsuits are in excess of $13.5 million.
The Company believes that it has meritorious defenses to the claims and
intends to defend vigorously against any such claims. The Company is
currently conducting extensive pre-trial discovery. The underwriters of the
Company's general liability insurance policy have indicated preliminarily that
such policy appears to cover the types of claims that have been asserted,
subject to their right to deny coverage based upon, among other things, final
determination of causation and the exact nature of the damages.
Granger
On December 6, 1993, Green River Gathering Company ("Green River") and
Mountain Gas filed a complaint against Washington Energy Exploration, Inc.
("Washington Energy") in District Court in Arapahoe County, Colorado seeking
the payment of certain outstanding receivables from Washington Energy and a
declaratory judgment that the gathering agreement between Washington Energy
and Green River is in full force and effect. Mountain Gas is a wholly-owned
subsidiary of the Company and Green River is a partnership owned by the
Company and Mountain Gas. Washington Energy is the operator of wells
producing approximately 33% of the natural gas transported through the Green
River Gathering system to Mountain Gas' Granger facility.
On December 27, 1993, Washington Energy filed an answer, counterclaim,
crossclaim and request for trial by jury, denying the substance of the
allegations and asserting certain affirmative defenses. Washington Energy has
also made certain counterclaims seeking monetary damages relating to Green
River's performance under the gathering agreement and under a processing
agreement between the parties, along with a declaratory judgment that both
agreements have been terminated. In addition, Washington Energy has made a
crossclaim against two unaffiliated entities, each of which owned a portion of
Green River during a portion of the period in question.
The Company believes that Green River is in compliance with the gathering
agreement and the processing agreement and that both are in full force and
effect. The Company believes that it has meritorious defenses to the
counterclaims and intends to defend vigorously against any such claims. The
Company is currently conducting extensive pre-trial discovery.
19
Katy
Commencing in March 1993 and continuing through July 1993, Western Gas
Resources Storage, Inc. ("Storage"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company,
filed a total of 165 condemnation actions in the County Court at Law No. 1 and
No. 2 of Fort Bend County, Texas to obtain certain storage rights and rights-
of-way relating to its Katy Gas Storage Facility. The County Court appointed
panels of Special Commissioners that have awarded compensation to the owners
whose rights were condemned. Certain of the land and mineral owners are
seeking in County Court a declaration that Storage does not possess the right
to condemn, or, in the alternative, that they should be awarded more
compensation than previously awarded by the Special Commissioners. The
Company believes that the outcome of such proceedings will not materially
affect operation of the Katy Gas Storage Facility. The likelihood of any
particular result, however, cannot be determined because the condemnation law
under which the proceedings are being brought has never been interpreted by
the courts.
Woods/Moncrief
In February 1994, the United States Appeals Court for the Tenth Circuit
affirmed a district court judgment against the Company in the amount of $2.9
million, including interest, in Western Gas Processors Ltd. v. Woods Petroleum
----------------------------------------------
Corporation and W.A. Moncrief, Jr., d/b/a Moncrief Oil Company, which related
--------------------------------------------------------------
to claims by certain producers that they had been underpaid. The Company has
taken a charge to litigation reserves in the year ended December 31, 1993, in
the amount of $2.4 million, as a result of the appellate court decision. The
Company will not take any further action.

ITEM 5. MARKET FOR THE REGISTRANT'S COMMON STOCK AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER
MATTERS
As of March 1, 1994, there were 25,703,829 shares of Common Stock outstanding
held by 490 holders of record. The Common Stock is traded on the New York
Stock Exchange under the symbol "WGR". The following table sets forth
quarterly high and low closing sales prices as reported by the NYSE Composite
Tape for the quarterly periods indicated.

The Company paid annual dividends on the Common Stock aggregating $.20 per
share during the years ended December 31, 1993 and 1992. The Company has
declared a dividend of $.05 per share of common stock for the quarter ending
March 31, 1994 to holders of record as of such date. Declarations of
dividends are within the discretion of the Board of Directors and are
dependent upon various factors, including the earnings, cash flow, capital
requirements and financial condition of the Company. In addition, the
Company's ability to pay dividends is restricted by certain covenants in its
credit facilities including a prohibition on declaring or paying dividends
that exceed, in the aggregate, the sum of $25 million plus 50% of the
Company's consolidated net income earned after March 31, 1993 plus 50% of the
cumulative net proceeds received from the sale of any equity securities sold
after March 31, 1993. At December 31, 1993, this threshold amounted to $39
million, or $106 million subsequent to the issuance of 2,760,000 shares of
$2.625 Convertible Preferred Stock in February 1994.

Average gas prices ($/Mcf) $ 2.02 $ 1.72 17.4
Average NGL prices ($/Gal) $ .31 $ .32 (3.1)
Net income decreased $1.6 million and net cash provided by operating
activities increased $7.9 million for the year ended December 31, 1993
compared to the same period in 1992.
Revenues from the sale of residue gas increased $284.1 million for the year
ended December 31, 1993 compared to the same period in 1992 due to an increase
in residue gas prices of $.30 per Mcf and an increase in sales volumes of 315
MMcf per day. Of this volume increase, 246 MMcf per day is attributable to an
increase in the sale of residue gas purchased from third parties, in part due
to the acquisition of Citizens. The remaining volume increase is the result
of increased production volumes at the Company's facilities, primarily due to
the Mountain Gas and Black Lake acquisitions as well as new well hookups at
the Midkiff/Benedum and Giddings facilities.
24
Revenues from the sale of NGLs increased $43.7 million for the year ended
December 31, 1993 compared to the same period in 1992 due to an increase in
NGL sales volumes of 545 MGal per day which was somewhat offset by a $.01
per gallon decrease in the price of NGLs. Of the volume increase, 377 MGal per
day is attributable to an increase in the sale of NGLs purchased from third
parties. The remaining volume increase is the result of increased production
volumes at the Company's facilities, primarily due to the Mountain Gas and
Black Lake acquisitions as well as new well hookups at the Midkiff/Benedum and
Giddings facilities.
Other revenues increased approximately $1 million for the year ended December
31, 1993 compared to the same period in 1992 due to the termination of certain
hedging transactions and interest rate swap agreements in 1993 which resulted
in an increase of approximately $5.5 million compared to the same period in
1992. This increase was offset by the sale in 1992 of a 20% undivided
interest in the Midkiff/Benedum gas processing plants to the major producer in
the area of the plant for a pre-tax gain of approximately $4.5 million.
Historically, product purchases as a percentage of residue gas and NGL sales
from the Company's plant production approximated 70%. Product purchases as a
percentage of residue gas and NGL sales from third-party purchases is
substantially higher than the historical percentage and approximates 95%. The
increase in the Company's combined percentage is primarily due to a
significantly larger increase in the sales volume of products purchased from
third parties compared to the sales volume sold from the Company's facilities.
As a result, total product purchases as a percentage of residue gas and NGL
sales increased approximately 6.3% to 81.5% for the year ended December 31,
1993 compared to the same period in 1992.
Plant operating expense increased $7.3 million for the year ended December 31,
1993 compared to the same period in 1992 primarily due to the Mountain Gas and
Black Lake acquisitions and an increase in repair and maintenance charges
incurred at facilities acquired from UTP.
Selling and administrative expense increased $4.2 million as a result of
higher payroll and benefit charges and professional fees resulting from the
Company's growing operations and its preparation for the Katy Gas Storage
Facility, a litigation reserve established for the Woods/Moncrief lawsuit and
franchise taxes resulting from the Company's expansion into states which do
not charge income taxes, somewhat offset by increased overhead capitalized to
the Company's construction projects. In 1993, overhead capitalized to the
Company's construction projects increased approximately $3.3 million when
compared to the same period in 1992. Amounts capitalized to such projects in
1994 are expected to decline due to
25
the completion of several major projects and fewer projects currently under
construction by the Company.
Depreciation, depletion and amortization expense increased $17.5 million for
the year ended December 31, 1993 compared to the same period in 1992 is
primarily due to the Mountain Gas and Black Lake acquisitions. In January
1994, the Katy Gas Storage Facility commenced operations and, as a result,
depreciation, depletion and amortization expense associated with the Katy Gas
Storage Facility will be approximately $3.0 million per year.
Interest expense increased $2.5 million for the year ended December 31, 1993
compared to the same period in 1992 due to higher average long-term debt
outstanding. In 1993, interest incurred and capitalized during the
construction period of new projects increased approximately $2.8 million when
compared to the same period in 1992. Amounts capitalized to such projects in
1994 are expected to decline due to the completion of several major projects
and fewer projects currently under construction by the Company. This increase
will be more than offset by a reduction in interest expense related to the
application of the net proceeds of $133.5 million from the sale of 2,760,000
shares of $2.625 Convertible Preferred Stock in February 1994 against the
Company's Revolving Credit Facility.
In 1993, the corporate income tax rate was increased from 34% to 35%. This
rate increase resulted in an increase in deferred income taxes of
approximately $2.1 million for the year ended December 31, 1993.

Net income and net cash provided by operating activities increased $18.8
million and $58.5 million, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 1992
compared to the same period in 1991.
Average gas prices increased $.13 per Mcf and average NGL prices decreased
$.04 per gallon for the year ended December 31, 1992 compared to the same
period in 1991, while average gas sales increased 132 MMcf per day and average
NGL sales increased 1,303 MGal per day. Revenues from the sale of residue gas
and NGLs increased $99.3 million and $140.0 million, respectively, for the
year ended December 31, 1992 compared to the same period in 1991. These
increases were primarily the result of increased production from Company
facilities due to the acquisition of 12 plants from UTP in November 1991 and
an increase in the sale of products purchased from third parties. Other
revenues increased $6.0 million, primarily as a result of a $4.5 million gain
on the sale of a 20% interest in the Midkiff and Benedum facilities in the
fourth quarter of 1992.
Product purchases as a percentage of residue gas and NGL sales increased 1.3%
to 75.2% in 1992 compared to 1991. Product purchases as a percentage of
residue gas and NGL sales of production from the Company's facilities is
approximately 70%. Increasing the historical percentage are purchases of
third party products which typically have a lower profit margin. The increase
in plant operating expense for the year ended December 31, 1992 compared to
the same period in 1991 was primarily due to the acquisition of the UTP
facilities. Selling and administrative expense increased $8.7 million for the
year ended December 31, 1992 compared to the same period in 1991 primarily due
to higher salary and benefit costs, insurance and other administrative
expenses related to the Company's acquisition of the UTP facilities. In
addition, selling and administrative expenses increased as a result of
additional franchise taxes due to increased operations in Texas and increased
costs related to the Company's ongoing evaluation of potential acquisitions.
The increase in depreciation expense for the year ended December 31, 1992
compared to the same period in 1991 was primarily due to the acquisition of
the UTP facilities. Effective January 1, 1992, the Company reviewed the
economic useful lives of its plant assets. As a result of this review, the
lives of certain of these assets were changed to reflect more closely their
remaining economic useful lives. The effect of this change was not material
to the results of operations for the year ended December 31, 1992. The
decrease in interest expense for the year ended December 31, 1992 compared to
the same period in 1991 was due to lower bank rates on variable rate
borrowings and lower average long-term debt outstanding.
27
The decrease in the provision for income taxes as a percentage of income
before taxes resulted from a reduction in the deferred income tax rate as
prescribed by SFAS No. 109.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company's sources of liquidity and capital resources historically have
been net cash provided by operating activities, funds available under its
financing facilities and proceeds from offerings of equity securities. In the
past, these sources have been sufficient to meet the needs and finance the
growth of the Company's business. Net cash provided by operating activities
has been primarily affected by product prices, the Company's success in
increasing the number and efficiency of its facilities and the volumes of
natural gas processed by such facilities and the margin on third party residue
gas purchased for resale. The Company's continued growth will be dependent
upon success in the areas of additions to dedicated plant reserves,
acquisitions, new project development and marketing.
In the three years ended December 31, 1993, the Company's total sources of
funds aggregated $823.9 million and was comprised of net cash provided by
operating activities of $233.4 million, net borrowings under its credit
agreement of $426.7 million, net proceeds received from the exercise of common
stock options of $1.3 million, net proceeds from the issuance of the $2.28
Cumulative Preferred Stock of $33.4 million, net proceeds from the issuance of
the 7.25% Convertible Preferred Stock of $38.2 million, net proceeds from the
issuance of Common Stock of $71.3 million and net proceeds received from the
disposition of property and equipment of $19.6 million. During the same
period, the Company's use of such funds aggregated $819.5 million which were
used primarily to make capital investments of $793.9 million, to pay dividends
to holders of Common Stock of $12.3 million, to pay dividends to holders of
7.25% Convertible Preferred Stock and $2.28 Cumulative Preferred Stock of $9.1
million and to make distributions to minority interest holders in predecessor
company of $4.2 million.
On November 12, 1993, the Registration on Form S-3 (Registration No. 33-66516)
was declared effective. The Registration provides for the sale of up to $200
million of debt securities and preferred stock and up to 4 million shares of
common stock. On February 28, 1994, the Company sold, pursuant to the
Registration, 2,760,000 shares of $2.625 Convertible Preferred Stock for net
proceeds of $133.5 million, which have been used to repay a portion of the
debt incurred under the Company's Revolving Credit facility in the Mountain
Gas and Black Lake acquisitions.
The Company has been successful overall in replacing production with new
reserves. However, volumes of natural gas dedicated to some of the Company's
plants have declined during recent years because additions to dedicated plant
reserves have not fully offset
28
production. In 1993, excluding reserves acquired in the Mountain Gas and
Black Lake acquisitions and including reserves associated with Westana, the
Company connected new reserves to its gathering systems replacing 118% of 1993
production. On a Company-wide basis, dedicated reserves, including certain
proved undeveloped properties, totaled approximately 1.95 Tcf at December 31,
1993.
An additional source of liquidity to the Company is volumes of residue gas and
NGLs in storage facilities. The Company stores volumes of residue gas and
NGLs primarily to assure an adequate supply for long-term sales contracts and
for resale during periods when prices are favorable. At December 31, 1993,
the Company held in storage approximately 17.3 million gallons of NGLs at an
average cost of $.30 per gallon and 7.9 Bcf of residue gas at an average cost
of $1.97 per Mcf ($1.81 per MMbtu).
From time to time, the Company contracts on the futures market for the
purchase and/or sale of stored residue gas and NGL products as a hedge against
price changes. At December 31, 1993, 296 net contracts (10,000 MMbtus per
contract) for the sale of residue gas in February 1994 through March 1995 at
prices ranging from $1.87 per Mcf to $2.56 per Mcf were outstanding. At
December 31, 1993, no such contracts for NGLs were outstanding.
Capital Investment Program
Between January 1, 1991 and December 31, 1993, the Company expended
approximately $793.9 million on new projects and currently has authorized an
additional $94.0 million for 1994. For the year ended December 31, 1993, the
Company expended $491.4 million on the Mountain Gas and Black Lake
acquisitions, the construction of the Katy Gas Storage Facility, connection of
new reserves, acquire consolidating assets for existing systems and upgrades
to existing and newly acquired facilities. For the year ended December 31,
1992, the Company expended a total of $68.4 million on the Katy Gas Storage
Facility, the acquisition of gathering systems connecting new reserves to
existing systems and upgrades to newly acquired facilities. For the year
ended December 31, 1991, the Company expended a total of $234.1 million for
the acquisition, construction and development of various facilities, including
the UTP, Edgewood and Midkiff systems and the Reno Junction Isomerization
facility, and the acquisition of producing gas wells. The Company financed
the UTP acquisition by the private placement of $40 million of Convertible
Preferred Stock with an institutional investor and with $100 million of long-
term debt from its existing bank group. This long-term debt was subsequently
reduced with the net proceeds of $71.3 million received from a common stock
offering in November 1991.
The Company has completed the construction of the Katy Gas Storage Facility.
Lease acquisition and construction costs incurred through December 31, 1993,
including pad gas, approximate $90 million and
29
excludes capitalized pre-operating costs. The Katy Gas Storage Facility
commenced operations in January 1994. The complex consists of a partially
depleted natural gas reservoir with over 17 Bcf of working gas and the
capability to deliver up to 400 MMcf/D of natural gas as well as a pipeline
header system currently connecting seven pipelines with the capability to
connect six additional pipelines.
In order to maintain the volumes of natural gas dedicated to or processed by
the Company's existing facilities, future capital expenditures for gathering
systems needed to connect new reserves, acquire consolidating assets and to
maintain existing facilities are anticipated to be approximately $25 million
to $30 million per year. The availability of new reserves at existing
facilities is somewhat affected by the price of crude oil or natural gas
(depending on whether the natural gas is associated gas or gas well gas) which
in turn stimulates new drilling at higher price levels. The Company
anticipates spending an additional $64 million to $69 million on other capital
projects.
Depending on the timing of the Company's future projects, it may be required
to seek additional sources of capital. The Company's ability to secure such
capital is restricted by its credit facilities, although it may request
additional borrowing capacity from the banks, seek waivers from the banks to
permit it to borrow funds from third parties, seek replacement credit
facilities from other lenders or issue additional equity securities. While
the Company believes that it would be able to secure additional financing, if
required, no assurance can be given that it will be able to do so or as to the
terms of any such financing.
Financing Facilities
Revolving Credit Facility. In August 1993, the Company renegotiated a
Revolving Credit Facility with its agent bank, and in September 1993 the agent
bank completed the syndication of the facility with seven additional banks.
The Company's variable rate Revolving Credit Facility provides for a maximum
borrowing of $400 million, of which $345 million was outstanding at December
31, 1993, and, if not renewed, on August 31, 1996 any outstanding balance
thereunder converts to a four-year term during which such balance will be
repaid in equal quarterly installments. At the Company's option, the
Revolving Credit Facility bears interest at certain spreads over the
Eurodollar rate or at the agent bank's prime rate. The interest rate spreads
were adjusted based on the Company's earnings ratio (earnings before interest
and taxes divided by interest expense). At December 31, 1993, the spread was
1.0% for the Eurodollar rate resulting in an interest rate of 4.13% at
December 31, 1993.
30
The Company will pay a commitment fee on the unused commitment of .25% if the
earnings ratio is greater than or equal to 4.5 to 1.0 or .375% if the ratio is
less than 4.5 to 1.0. For the year ended December 31, 1993, the Company's
earnings ratio was approximately 4.4 to 1.0.
Term Loan Facility. The Company also has a Term Loan Facility with four banks
for $50 million which bears interest at 9.87%. Payments on the Term Loan
Facility of $25 million, $12.5 million and $12.5 million are due in September
1995, 1996 and 1997, respectively.
The Company's Revolving Credit and Term Loan Facilities are subject to certain
mandatory prepayment terms. If funded debt under these facilities exceeds
four times the sum of the Company's last four quarters' cash flow (as defined
in the agreement), the overage must be repaid in no more than six monthly
payments commencing 90 days from notification. This mandatory prepayment
threshold will be reduced to 3.75 to 1.00 at December 31, 1994 and 3.50 to
1.00 at December 31, 1995.
The Term Loan Facility and Revolving Credit Facility are unsecured. The
Company is required to maintain a current ratio of at least 1.0 to 1.0, a
tangible net worth of at least $247 million, a debt to capitalization ratio of
no more than 65% through March 31, 1994, 60% from April 1, 1994 through
October 31, 1995 and 55% thereafter and an earnings ratio of not less than 2.0
to 1.0. The Company is prohibited from declaring or paying dividends that
exceed the sum of $25 million plus 50% of consolidated net income earned after
March 31, 1993 plus 50% of the cumulative net proceeds received from the sale
of any equity securities sold after March 31, 1993. At December 31, 1993, this
threshold amounted to $39 million, or $106 million subsequent to the issuance
of the 2,760,000 shares of $2.625 Convertible Preferred Stock in February
1994. The Company generally utilizes excess daily funds to reduce any
outstanding revolving credit balances to minimize interest expense and intends
to continue such practice.
Master Shelf Agreement. In December 1991, the Company entered into a Master
Shelf Agreement (the "Master Shelf") with The Prudential Insurance Company of
America ("Prudential") pursuant to which Prudential agreed to quote, from
time-to-time, an interest rate at which Prudential or its nominee would be
willing to purchase up to $100 million of the Company's senior promissory
notes (the "Senior Notes"). Any such Senior Notes must mature in no more than
12 years, with an average life not in excess of 10 years, and will be
unsecured. On October 27, 1992, the Company sold $25 million of 7.51% Senior
Notes due 2000 and $25 million of 7.99% Senior Notes due 2003. Principal
payments on the $50 million of Senior Notes of $8.3 million will be due on
October 27 of each year from 1998 through 2003. On September 22, 1993, the
Company sold $25 million of 6.77% Senior Notes due in a single payment on
September 22, 2003 and on December 27, 1993, the Company sold $25 million of
7.23%
31
Senior Notes due in a single payment on December 27, 2003. The Master Shelf
contains certain financial covenants which conform with those contained in the
Revolving Credit Facility. In July 1993, Prudential and the Company amended
the Master Shelf to provide for an additional $50 million of borrowing
capacity (for a total borrowing capacity of $150 million) and to extend the
term of the Master Shelf to October 31, 1995.
Senior Notes. On April 28, 1993 the Company sold $50 million of 7.65% Senior
Notes due 2003 to a group of insurance companies led by Connecticut General
Life Insurance Company. Principal payments on the $50 million of Senior Notes
of $7.1 million will be due on April 30th of each year from 1997 through 2002
with any remaining principal and interest outstanding due on April 30, 2003.
The Senior Notes contain certain financial covenants which conform with those
contained in the Revolving Credit Facility.
Covenant Compliance. At December 31, 1993, the Company was in compliance with
or has obtained necessary waivers related to all of its debt covenants.
Interest Rate Swap Agreements. From time to time, the Company enters into
interest rate swap agreements to manage exposure to changes in interest rates.
The transactions generally involve the exchange of fixed and floating interest
payment obligations without the exchange of the underlying principal amounts.
In 1993, the Company terminated certain interest rate swap agreements,
totaling $175 million of notional principal amount, resulting in a pre-tax
gain of approximately $3.6 million.
The Company believes that the amounts available to be borrowed under the
Revolving Credit Facility and the Master Shelf together with cash provided
from operations, will provide it with sufficient financing to connect new
reserves, maintain its existing facilities and complete its current capital
improvement projects. The Company also believes that cash provided from
operations will be sufficient to meet its debt service and preferred stock
dividend requirements.
Miscellaneous
The construction and operation of the Company's gathering lines, plants and
other facilities used for the gathering, transporting, processing, treating or
storing of residue gas and NGLs are subject to federal, state and local
environmental laws and regulations, including those that can impose
obligations to clean up hazardous substances at the Company's facilities or at
facilities to which the Company sends wastes for disposal. In most instances,
the applicable regulatory requirements relate to water and air pollution
control or solid waste management procedures. The Company believes that it is
in substantial compliance with applicable material environmental laws and
regulations. Environmental regulation can increase the cost of planning,
32
designing, constructing and operating the Company's facilities. The Company
believes that the costs for compliance with current environmental laws and
regulations have not and will not have a material effect on the Company's
results of operation.
In 1990, the Congress enacted the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990 (the "Clean
Air Act") which impose more stringent standards on emissions of certain
pollutants and require the permitting of certain existing air emissions
sources. Many of the regulations have not been promulgated and until their
promulgation, the Company cannot make a final assessment of the impact of the
Clean Air Act. However, based upon its preliminary review of the proposed
regulations, the Company does not anticipate that compliance with the Clean
Air Act will require any material capital expenditures, although it will
increase permitting costs in 1994 and 1995 and may increase certain operating
costs on an on-going basis. The Company does not believe that such cost
increases will have a material effect on the Company's results of operations,
but cannot rule out that possibility.
The Company believes that it is reasonably likely that the trend in
environmental legislation and regulation will continue to be towards stricter
standards. The Company is unaware of future environmental standards that are
reasonably likely to be adopted that will have a material effect on the
Company's results of operations.
The Company is in the process of cleaning up certain releases of non-hazardous
substances at facilities that it operates. In addition, the former owner of
certain facilities that the Company acquired in 1992 is conducting cleanups at
those facilities pursuant to contractual obligations. The Company's
expenditures for environmental evaluation and remediation at existing
facilities have not been significant in relation to the results of operations
of the Company and totaled approximately $1.4 million for the year ended
December 31, 1993. For the year ended December 31, 1993, the Company paid an
aggregate of approximately $565,000 in air emissions fees to the states in
which it operated. Although the Company anticipates that such air emissions
fees will increase over time, the Company does not believe that such increases
will have a material effect on the Company's results of operations.
The Company employs six environmental engineers to monitor environmental
compliance and potential liabilities at its facilities. Prior to consummating
any major acquisition, the Company's environmental engineers perform audits on
the facilities to be acquired. In addition, on an on-going basis, the
environmental engineers perform informal environmental assessments of the
Company's existing facilities. To date, the Company has not found any
material environmental noncompliance or cleanup liabilities, the costs of
which would reasonably be expected to have, in the aggregate, a material
effect on the Company's results of operations.

REPORT OF MANAGEMENT
The financial statements and other financial information included in this
Annual Report on Form 10-K are the responsibility of management. The
financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles appropriate in the circumstances and include amounts
that are based on management's informed judgments and estimates.
Management relies on the Company's system of internal accounting controls to
provide reasonable assurance that assets are safeguarded and that transactions
are properly recorded and executed in accordance with management's
authorization. The concept of reasonable assurance is based on the
recognition that there are inherent limitations in all systems of internal
accounting control and that the cost of such systems should not exceed the
benefits to be derived. The internal accounting controls in place during the
periods presented are considered adequate to provide such assurance.
The Company's financial statements are audited by Price Waterhouse,
independent accountants. Their report states that they have conducted their
audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. These
standards include an evaluation of the system of internal accounting controls
for the purpose of establishing the scope of audit testing necessary to allow
them to render an independent professional opinion on the fairness of the
Company's financial statements.
The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors, composed solely of directors
who are not employees of the Company, reviews the Company's financial
reporting and accounting practices. The Audit Committee meets periodically
with the independent accountants and management to review the work of each and
to ensure that each is properly discharging its responsibilities.

To the Board of Directors and
Stockholders of Western Gas Resources, Inc.
In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated balance sheet and the related
consolidated statements of cash flows, of operations, and of changes in
stockholders' equity present fairly, in all material respects, the financial
position of Western Gas Resources, Inc. and its subsidiaries at December 31,
1993 and 1992, and the results of their cash flows and their operations for
each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1993, in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles. These financial statements are
the responsibility of the Company's management; our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We
conducted our audits of these statements in accordance with generally accepted
auditing standards which require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing
the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management,
and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that
our audits provide a reasonable basis for the opinion expressed above.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION, ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND OTHER MATTERS
-------------------------------------------------------------
Western Gas Resources, Inc., a Delaware corporation, is an independent gas
gatherer and processor with operations in major oil and gas-producing basins
in the Rocky Mountain, Gulf Coast and Southwestern regions of the United
States. Western Gas Resources, Inc. owns and operates natural gas gathering,
processing and storage facilities and markets and transports natural gas and
natural gas liquids ("NGLs").
Western Gas Resources, Inc. was formed in October 1989 to acquire a majority
interest in Western Gas Processors, Ltd. (the "Partnership") and to assume the
duties of WGP Company, the general partner of the Partnership. The
Partnership had been a Colorado limited partnership formed in 1977 to engage
in the gathering and processing of natural gas. The reorganization was
accomplished in December 1989 through an exchange for common stock of
partnership units held by the former general partners of WGP Company (the
"Principal Stockholders") and an initial public offering of Western Gas
Resources, Inc. common stock. At December 31, 1990, Western Gas Resources,
Inc. held a 51.8% partnership interest in the Partnership and the Principal
Stockholders owned 65.7% of Western Gas Resources, Inc.'s common stock and a
40.2% direct interest in the Partnership. The remaining 8.0% of the interest
in the Partnership was owned by public holders of the Partnership's $1.80
cumulative participating preference units ("PPUs") (including 7.8% of the PPUs
held by the Principal Stockholders).
On May 1, 1991, a further restructuring of the Partnership and Western Gas
Resources, Inc. (together with its predecessor, WGP Company, collectively, the
"Company") was approved by a vote of the security holders. As a result of the
affirmative vote on the restructuring, the Partnership prepaid the remaining
preference distributions to the PPU holders in the second quarter of 1991 and
the Company acquired all of the remaining limited partner units in exchange
for 10.2 million shares of newly issued common stock of the Company, all of
the Partnership's assets were transferred to the Company by operation of law
as a result of the merger, the Company directly owned all assets and was
subject to all obligations of the Partnership, and the Partnership ceased to
exist.
The combinations described above were reorganizations of entities under common
control and have been accounted for at historical cost in a manner similar to
poolings of interests. The Company has restated all historical financial
information to reflect the restructuring.
43
WESTERN GAS RESOURCES, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
In October 1991, the Company issued 400,000 shares of 7.25% cumulative
perpetual convertible preferred stock ("7.25% Convertible Preferred Stock")
with a liquidation preference of $100 per share to an institutional investor.
In November 1991, the Company issued 4,115,000 shares of common stock at a
public offering price of $18.375 per share.
In November 1992, the Company issued 1,400,000 shares of $2.28 cumulative
preferred stock ("$2.28 Cumulative Preferred Stock"), with a liquidation
preference of $25 per share, at a public offering price of $25 per share.
On November 12, 1993, the Company's registration statement filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Registration") on Form S-3
(Registration No. 33-66516) was declared effective. The Registration provides
for the sale of up to $200 million of debt securities and preferred stock and
up to 4 million shares of common stock. On February 17, 1994, the Company
filed a Prospectus Supplement under the Registration for the sale of 2,760,000
shares of $2.625 cumulative convertible preferred stock ("$2.625 Convertible
Preferred Stock"). On February 25, 1994 the Company closed the offering
providing for net proceeds of $133.5 million.
Significant Business Acquisitions and Dispositions
Mountain Gas
On July 29, 1993, effective January 1, 1993, the Company acquired the stock of
Mountain Gas Resources, Inc. ("Mountain Gas") from Morgan Stanley Leveraged
Equity Fund II, L.P. for total consideration of approximately $168.2 million,
including the payment of certain transaction costs and the assumption and
repayment of $35 million of long-term debt of Mountain Gas.
Mountain Gas owns the Red Desert and Granger facilities, both located near the
Company's Lincoln Road gas processing plant and gathering system. The 22%
interest in the Granger facility previously not owned by Mountain Gas was
purchased by the Company in two separate transactions in November and December
1993 for an aggregate of $27.7 million. At the date of acquisition, the Red
Desert facility consisted of a cryogenic plant and the Granger plant consisted
of a refrigeration unit and a cryogenic unit. In December 1993, the Company
completed construction of an additional cryogenic processing plant at Granger,
at a total cost of $15.2 million.
44
WESTERN GAS RESOURCES, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
In December 1993, a fire at the Granger facility's NGL tank farm required the
facility to be shut down for one week. The new cryogenic processing plant as
well as the smaller existing cryogenic unit were also damaged. Gas throughput
at the facility has since reached levels experienced before the fire, and the
Company expects it to be fully operational in May 1994 when the construction
of a new tank farm and repairs to the cryogenic units are expected to be
completed. The Company believes that insurance will cover, subject to certain
deductibles, substantially all of the costs related to rebuilding the NGL tank
farm and the other affected facilities, the interruption of business and
third-party claims, if any.
Black Lake
On September 27, 1993, effective January 1, 1993, the Company purchased Black
Lake gas processing plant and related reserves ("Black Lake") from Nerco Oil &
Gas, Inc. ("Nerco") for approximately $136.2 million. The acquisition includes
a 68.9% working interest in the Black Lake field in Louisiana and a gas
processing plant. The purchase also includes 50% of the stock of Black Lake
Pipeline Company, which owns a 240 mile liquids pipeline extending from Cotton
Valley, Louisiana to Mont Belvieu, Texas and transports NGLs for Black Lake
and three unaffiliated gas processing plants.
Pro forma condensed results of operations for the years ended December 31,
1993 and 1992 give effect to the acquisition and financing of Mountain Gas and
Black Lake and the issuance and sale by the Company of 2,760,000 shares of
$2.625 Convertible Preferred Stock assuming that each transaction occurred on
January 1 for each year presented below. The pro forma results have been
prepared for comparative purposes only and are not indicative of the results
of operations which actually would have resulted had the acquisitions occurred
on the dates indicated, or which may result in the future (in $000s).

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
Westana Joint Venture
Effective August 1, 1993, the Company formed Westana Gathering Company
("Westana"), a general partnership, with Panhandle Eastern Pipe Line
Corporation ("PEPL"). Westana provides gas gathering and processing services
in the Anadarko Basin in Oklahoma and markets residue gas and NGLs for
producers connected to its system. The Company is the principal operator with
each partner holding a 50% ownership interest.
The Company contributed its Chester gas processing plant and gathering system,
with a net book value of $13.8 million, to Westana. Westana also operates
PEPL's 400 mile gathering system, which will be contributed to Westana, after
abandonment approval by the FERC. The Company is committed to provide an
additional partnership contribution of $8.3 million, of which $4.8 million was
contributed through December 31, 1993, for necessary modifications to the
gathering system. This contribution will be recouped by the Company through
preferential partnership distributions.
UTP System
On November 1, 1991, the Company purchased the gas processing division of
Union Texas Products Corporation, a subsidiary of Union Texas Petroleum
Holdings, Inc. (collectively referred to as the "UTP system"). The total
consideration was $142.7 million. The acquisition included 12 plants in Texas,
Oklahoma and Louisiana.
Edgewood System
Effective January 1, 1991, the Company purchased the Edgewood Gas Processing
Plant and a majority interest in the related production (collectively called
the "Edgewood system") from Amoco Production Company for $36 million. The
Edgewood system includes a gas processing plant and a sulfur recovery unit.
Effective July 1, 1991, the Company also acquired an approximate 80% working
interest in three producing gas wells in the Fruitvale field behind the
Edgewood plant.
Midkiff/Benedum System
Effective October 1, 1992, the Company sold a 20% undivided interest (which
interest may increase based upon future expansion of the plants to accommodate
increased gas volumes) in the Midkiff and Benedum gas processing plants to the
major producer in the area of the plant for $22 million, or an increase to net
income of $2.9 million, or $.11 per share of common stock.

WESTERN GAS RESOURCES, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
Accounting Policies
The significant accounting policies followed by the Company and the Company's
wholly-owned subsidiaries are presented here to assist the reader in
evaluating the financial information contained herein. The Company's
accounting policies are in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and
the Company's wholly-owned subsidiaries. All material intercompany
transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company's interest in
certain investments is accounted for by the equity method.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue for sales or services is recognized at the time the gas or NGLs are
sold or at the time the service is performed.
Reclassification
Certain prior years' amounts in the consolidated financial statements and
related notes have been reclassified to conform to the presentation used in
1993.
Earnings Per Share of Common Stock
Earnings per share of common stock is computed by dividing the net income
available to shares of common stock by the weighted average number of shares
of common stock outstanding. Net income available to shares of common stock
is net income less dividends declared on the 7.25% Convertible Preferred Stock
and $2.28 Cumulative Preferred Stock. The computation of fully diluted
earnings per share of common stock for the years ended December 31, 1993 and
1992 was antidilutive, therefore, only primary earnings per share of common
stock is presented.
Inventories
Product inventory includes $15.5 million and $11.6 million of residue gas and
$5.2 million and $5.4 million of NGLs at December 31, 1993 and 1992,
respectively.
Prior to 1992, the cost of residue gas and NGL inventories was determined by
the weighted average cost and the first-in, first-out
47
WESTERN GAS RESOURCES, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
(FIFO) methods, respectively, on a location by location basis. Effective
January 1, 1992, the Company changed its method of accounting for NGL
inventories to the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method. The effect of this
change was not material to the Company's results of operations for the year
ended December 31, 1992.
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value. At
December 31, 1991, NGL inventories were written down to reflect market value,
resulting in a $1.4 million reduction in inventory value and a related charge
to earnings.
Property and Equipment
Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method based on the estimated
useful life of each facility which ranges from three to 45 years. Useful lives
are determined based on the shorter of the life of the equipment or the
reserves serviced by the equipment. The cost of certain gas purchase contracts
is amortized using the units-of-production method. Effective January 1, 1992,
the Company reviewed the economic useful lives of its plant assets. As a
result of this review, the lives of certain of these assets were changed to
reflect more closely their remaining economic useful lives. The effect of
this change was not material to the results of operations for the year ended
December 31, 1992.
The Company follows the successful efforts method of accounting for oil and
gas exploration and production activities. Acquisition costs, development
costs and successful exploration costs are capitalized. Exploratory dry hole
costs, lease rentals and geological and geophysical costs are charged to
expense as incurred. If the undiscounted future net revenue of all proved
developed properties does not exceed the net book value of such properties, a
charge for impairment would be made against income of the period affected.
Upon surrender of undeveloped properties, the original cost is charged against
income. Producing properties and related equipment are depleted and
depreciated by the units-of-production method based on estimated proved
developed reserves of oil and gas.
Interest incurred during the construction period of new projects is
capitalized and amortized over the life of the associated assets. Such
capitalized interest was $4.9 million, $2.1 million and $1.3 million,
respectively, for the three years ended December 31, 1993.
48
WESTERN GAS RESOURCES, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
Income Taxes
In the fourth quarter of 1992, the Company adopted the provisions of Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 109, "Accounting for Income
Taxes", retroactive to January 1, 1992. SFAS No. 109 requires the recognition
of deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax
consequences of events that have been recognized in the financial statements
or income tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax liabilities and assets
are determined based on the difference between the financial statement
carrying amounts and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax
rates in effect in the years in which the differences are expected to reverse.
Adoption of SFAS No. 109 did not have a material effect on the Company's
results of operations for the year ended December 31, 1992. Prior years'
financial statements have not been restated to apply the provisions of SFAS
No. 109.
Deferred income taxes for 1993 and 1992 reflect the impact of "temporary
differences" between amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting
purposes and such amounts as measured by tax laws. These temporary
differences are determined in accordance with SFAS No. 109 and are more
inclusive in nature than "timing differences" as determined under previously
applicable accounting principles.
A pro forma provision for income taxes has been provided in the financial
statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 1991 for
comparability to its taxable status after the restructuring. Prior to the
restructuring, the Predecessor Company was not subject to Federal income tax
since the tax effects of its activities accrued to its partners.
Futures Contracts
The Company, from time to time, enters into futures contracts to hedge against
a portion of the price risk associated with residue gas and NGLs. Changes in
the market value of futures contracts are accounted for as additions to or
reductions in inventory. Gains and losses resulting from changes in the
market value of futures contracts are recognized when the related inventory is
sold. At December 31, 1993, 296 such contracts (net) (10,000 MMbtus per
contract) for the sale of residue gas in February 1994 through March 1995 at
prices ranging from $1.87 per Mcf to $2.56 per Mcf were outstanding. At
December 31, 1993, no such contracts for NGLs were outstanding.
49
WESTERN GAS RESOURCES, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
Interest Rate Swap Agreements
The Company has entered into various interest rate swap agreements to manage
exposure to changes in interest rates. The transactions generally involve the
exchange of fixed and floating interest payment obligations without the
exchange of the underlying principal amounts. At December 31, 1993 and 1992,
the total notional principal amount of outstanding interest rate swap
agreements was $50 million. In addition to the financial risk that will vary
during the life of these swap agreements in relation to the maturity of the
underlying debt and market interest rates, the Company is subject to credit
risk exposure from nonperformance of the counterparties to the swap
agreements.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents includes all cash balances and highly liquid
investments with a maturity of three months or less.
Supplementary Cash Flow Information
Interest paid was $16.4 million, $12.5 million and $12.9 million,
respectively, for the three years ended December 31, 1993.
Income taxes paid were $10.2 million, $12.5 million and $6.6 million,
respectively, for the three years ended December 31, 1993.

WESTERN GAS RESOURCES, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
December 31, 1993. Purchases from Westana totaled $5.3 million for the year
ended December 31, 1993.
The Company performs various operational and administrative functions for
Williston and Westana and allocates the actual expenses incurred in performing
the services to each Company. Such charges for Williston totaled $2.4
million, $3.2 million, and $4.0 million, respectively, for the three years
ended December 31, 1993. Charges to Westana totaled $933,000 for the year
ended December 31, 1993.
During the year ended December 31, 1990, an officer and director of the
Company borrowed $748,000 from the Company for the purpose of exercising
options to purchase 294,524 shares of common stock in the Company. Interest is
accrued at a rate equal to the interest rate paid by the Company on its

term of the note with all unpaid principal and accrued interest due and
payable on January 1, 1996. The note is secured by the common stock and is
accounted for as a reduction of stockholders' equity.
The Company has entered into agreements committing the Company to loan to
certain key employees an amount sufficient to exercise their options as each
portion of their options vests under the Key Employees' Incentive Stock Option
Plan and the Employee Option Plan. The Company will forgive the loan and
accrued interest if the employee has been continuously employed by the Company
for periods specified under the agreements. As of December 31, 1993 and 1992
loans totaling $1.2 million and $730,000, respectively, were outstanding to
key employees under these programs. The loans are secured by the common stock
and are accounted for as a reduction of stockholders' equity.

Financing Facilities
Revolving Credit Facility. In August 1993, the Company renegotiated a
Revolving Credit Facility with its agent bank, and in September 1993 the agent
bank completed the syndication of the facility with seven additional banks.
The Company's variable rate Revolving Credit Facility provides for a maximum
borrowing of $400 million, of which $345 million was outstanding at December
31, 1993, and, if not renewed, on August 31, 1996 any outstanding balance
thereunder converts to a four-year term during which such balance will be
repaid in equal quarterly installments. At the Company's option, the
Revolving Credit Facility bears interest at certain spreads over the
Eurodollar rate or at the agent bank's prime rate. The interest rate spreads
were adjusted based on the Company's earnings ratio (earnings before interest
and taxes divided by interest expense). At December 31, 1993, the spread was
1.0% for the Eurodollar rate resulting in an interest rate of 4.13% at
December 31, 1993.
Term Loan Facility. The Company also has a Term Loan Facility with four banks
for $50 million which bears interest at 9.87%. Payments on the Term Loan
Facility of $25 million, $12.5 million and $12.5 million are due in September
1995, 1996 and 1997, respectively.
The Company will pay a commitment fee on the unused commitment of .25% if the
earnings ratio is greater than or equal to 4.5 to 1.0 or .375% if the ratio is
less than 4.5 to 1.0. For the year ended December 31, 1993, the Company's
earnings ratio was approximately 4.4 to 1.0.
The Company's Revolving Credit and Term Loan Facilities are subject to certain
mandatory prepayment terms. If funded debt under these facilities exceeds
four times the sum of the Company's last four quarters' cash flow (as defined
in the agreement), the overage must be repaid in no more than six monthly
payments commencing 90 days from notification. This mandatory prepayment
threshold will be reduced to 3.75 to 1.00 at December 31, 1994 and 3.50 to
1.00 at December 31, 1995.
The Term Loan Facility and Revolving Credit Facility are unsecured. The
Company is required to maintain a current ratio of at least 1.0 to 1.0, a
tangible net worth of at least $247 million, a debt to capitalization ratio of
no more than 65% through March 31, 1994, 60% from April 1, 1994 through
October 31, 1995 and 55% thereafter and an earnings ratio of not less than 2.0
to 1.0. The Company is prohibited from declaring or paying dividends that
exceed the sum
52

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
of $25 million plus 50% of consolidated net income earned after March 31, 1993
plus 50% of the cumulative net proceeds received from the sale of any equity
securities sold after March 31, 1993. The Company generally utilizes excess
daily funds to reduce any outstanding revolving credit balances to minimize
interest expense and intends to continue such practice.
Master Shelf Agreement. In December 1991, the Company entered into a Master
Shelf Agreement (the "Master Shelf") with The Prudential Insurance Company of
America ("Prudential") pursuant to which Prudential agreed to quote, from
time-to-time, an interest rate at which Prudential or its nominee would be
willing to purchase up to $100 million of the Company's senior promissory
notes (the "Senior Notes"). Any such Senior Notes must mature in no more than
12 years, with an average life not in excess of 10 years, and will be
unsecured. On October 27, 1992, the Company sold $25 million of 7.51% Senior
Notes due 2000 and $25 million of 7.99% Senior Notes due 2003. Principal
payments on the $50 million of Senior Notes of $8.3 million will be due on
October 27 of each year from 1998 through 2003. On September 22, 1993, the
Company sold $25 million of 6.77% Senior Notes due in a single payment on
September 22, 2003 and on December 27, 1993, the Company sold $25 million of
7.23% Senior Notes due in a single payment on December 27, 2003. The Master
Shelf contains certain financial covenants which conform with those contained
in the Revolving Credit Facility. In July 1993, Prudential and the Company
amended the Master Shelf to provide for an additional $50 million of borrowing
capacity (for a total borrowing capacity of $150 million) and to extend the
term of the Master Shelf to October 31, 1995.
Senior Notes. On April 28, 1993 the Company sold $50 million of 7.65% Senior
Notes due 2003 to a group of insurance companies led by Connecticut General
Life Insurance Company. Principal payments on the $50 million of Senior Notes
of $7.1 million will be due on April 30th of each year from 1997 through 2002
with any remaining principal and interest outstanding due on April 30, 2003.
The Senior Notes contain certain financial covenants which conform with those
contained in the Revolving Credit Facility.
Covenant Compliance. At December 31, 1993, the Company was in compliance with
or has obtained necessary waivers related to all of its debt covenants.
Interest Rate Swap Agreements. From time to time, the Company enters into
interest rate swap agreements to manage exposure to changes in interest rates.
The transactions generally involve the

NOTE 5-COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES
Toca
On March 4, 1993, the Company filed a complaint against Warren Petroleum
Company, Arco Oil & Gas Co., Conoco Inc., Trident NGL, Inc. and other owners
of the Yscloskey Gas Plant located in Louisiana (the "Owners") in the United
States District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana, alleging various
violations by the defendants of the federal anti-trust laws in connection with
a Hydrocarbon Fractionation Agreement at its Toca plant between the Company
and the Owners of the Yscloskey plant. The Company also filed a companion
state-court action involving the same parties in Civil District Court for the
Parish of Orleans, State of Louisiana, which the defendants removed to United
States District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana. The Company and
Warren Petroleum Company (in its capacity as the designated Operator for the
Yscloskey Plant) have recently negotiated a new Hydrocarbon Fractionation
Agreement, which has been executed by substantially all of the Owners of the
Yscloskey Plant. The new 15-year agreement provides for a reduced
fractionation fee of 9.25% and eliminates the uncertainty regarding uneconomic
performance of the Yscloskey plant. The Company anticipates dismissing the
various complaints with prejudice.
Edgewood
On January 16, 1991, problems at the Company's Edgewood Plant relating to both
equipment that removes hydrogen sulfide from unprocessed natural gas and the
monitoring equipment owned by the purchaser of the residue gas, Enserch
Corporation, doing business as Lone Star Gas Company ("Lone Star"), allowed
residue gas containing hydrogen sulfide to enter Lone Star's transmission line
supplying residue gas to Emory, Texas.
The Company has been named as a co-defendant, along with Lone Star, in the
following complaints relating to the incident: Gary Prather, et al. v. Enserch

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
January 13, 1994, and Carma Brumit v. Enserch, et al., filed on January 18,
-------------------------------
1994.
All the cases have been filed in the District Court, Rains County, Texas,
354th Judicial District, and make similar claims, asserting, among other
things, that the defendants breached an implied warranty of merchantability,
falsely represented that the residue gas was safe, were negligent and are
liable under a strict liability theory. The plaintiffs have alleged a variety
of respiratory and neurological illnesses and are seeking treble damages,
exemplary damages and attorneys' fees. Prior to the filing of the complaints,
the Company received demand letters from the plaintiffs that sought, in the
aggregate, approximately $36 million. Damages claimed in the lawsuits are in
excess of $13.5 million.
The Company believes that it has meritorious defenses to the claims and
intends to defend vigorously against any such claims. The Company is
currently conducting extensive pre-trial discovery. The underwriters of the
Company's general liability insurance policy have indicated preliminarily that
such policy appears to cover the types of claims that have been asserted,
subject to their right to deny coverage based upon, among other things, final
determination of causation and the exact nature of the damages.
Granger
On December 6, 1993, Green River Gathering Company ("Green River") and
Mountain Gas filed a complaint against Washington Energy Exploration, Inc.
("Washington Energy") in District Court in Arapahoe County, Colorado seeking
the payment of certain outstanding receivables from Washington Energy and a
declaratory judgment that the gathering agreement between Washington Energy
and Green River is in full force and effect. Mountain Gas is a wholly-owned
subsidiary of the Company and Green River is a partnership owned by the
Company and Mountain Gas. Washington Energy is the operator of wells
producing approximately 33% of the natural gas transported through the Green
River Gathering system to Mountain Gas' Granger facility.
On December 27, 1993, Washington Energy filed an answer, counterclaim,
crossclaim and request for trial by jury, denying the substance of the
allegations and asserting certain affirmative defenses. Washington Energy has
also made certain counterclaims seeking monetary damages relating to Green
River's performance under the gathering agreement and under a processing
agreement between the parties, along with a declaratory judgment that both
57

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
agreements have been terminated. In addition, Washington Energy has made a
crossclaim against two unaffiliated entities, each of which owned a portion of
Green River during a portion of the period in question.
The Company believes that Green River is in compliance with the gathering
agreement and the processing agreement and that both are in full force and
effect. The Company believes that it has meritorious defenses to the
counterclaims and intends to defend vigorously against any such claims. The
Company is currently conducting extensive pre-trial discovery.
Katy
Commencing in March 1993 and continuing through July 1993, Western Gas
Resources Storage, Inc. ("Storage"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company,
filed a total of 165 condemnation actions in the County Court at Law No. 1 and
No. 2 of Fort Bend County, Texas to obtain certain storage rights and rights-
of-way relating to its Katy Gas Storage Facility. The County Court appointed
panels of Special Commissioners that have awarded compensation to the owners
whose rights were condemned. Certain of the land and mineral owners are
seeking in County Court a declaration that Storage does not possess the right
to condemn, or, in the alternative, that they should be awarded more
compensation than previously awarded by the Special Commissioners. The
Company believes that the outcome of such proceedings will not materially
affect operation of the Katy Gas Storage Facility. The likelihood of any
particular result, however, cannot be determined because the condemnation law
under which the proceedings are being brought has never been interpreted by
the courts.
Woods/Moncrief
In February 1994, the United States Appeals Court for the Tenth Circuit
affirmed a district court judgment against the Company in the amount of $2.9
million, including interest, in Western Gas Processors Ltd. v. Woods Petroleum
----------------------------------------------
Corporation and W.A. Moncrief, Jr., d/b/a Moncrief Oil Company, which related
--------------------------------------------------------------
to claims by certain producers that they had been underpaid. The Company has
taken a charge to litigation reserves in the year ended December 31, 1993, in
the amount of $2.4 million, as a result of the appellate court decision. The
Company will not take any further action.

NOTE 6-EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS
A discretionary profit sharing plan exists for all Company employees meeting
certain service requirements. The Company makes annual contributions to the
plan as determined by the Board of Directors. Contributions are made to bank
trust funds administered by an independent investment manager. Contributions
were $2.2 million, $2.0 million and $1.4 million, respectively, in the three
years ended December 31, 1993.
The Board of Directors of the Company has adopted a Key Employees' Incentive
Stock Option Plan and a Non-Employee Director Stock Option Plan that authorize
the granting of options to purchase 250,000 and 20,000 common shares of the
Company, respectively. The Board of Directors has granted options to purchase
240,000 common shares to certain officers and 15,000 common shares to three
non-employee directors of the Company, at exercise prices ranging from $10.71
to $34.00. Each of these options became exercisable as to 25% of the shares
covered by it on the later of January 1, 1992, or one year from the date of
grant, subject to the continuation of the optionee's relationship with the
Company, and became exercisable as to an additional 25% of the covered shares
on each subsequent January 1 through 1995 or on the later of each subsequent
date of grant anniversary, subject to the same condition. The Company has
entered into agreements committing the Company to loan certain key employees
an amount sufficient to exercise their options as each portion of their
options vests. The Company will forgive the loan and accrued interest if the
employee has been continuously employed by the Company for four years after
the date of the loan.
In April 1987, the Partnership adopted an employee option plan that authorizes
granting options to employees to purchase 430,000 common units in the
Partnership. Pursuant to the Restructuring, the Company assumed the
Partnership's obligation under the Employee option plan. The plan was amended
upon the Restructuring to allow each holder of existing options to exercise
such options and acquire one share of common stock for each common unit they
were originally entitled to purchase. The exercise price and all other terms
and conditions for the exercise of such options issued under the amended plan
were the same as under the plan, except that the Restructuring accelerated the
time after which certain options may be exercised. Through December 31, 1993
and 1992, the Board of Directors has granted options under the plan to
purchase shares of common stock at $5.40 per share to approximately 355 and
350 employees, respectively. As of December 31, 1993 and 1992, approximately
415,000 and 390,000 options were vested and
59
WESTERN GAS RESOURCES, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
approximately 325,000 and 240,000 options for common shares had been
exercised, respectively. In February 1994, the Board of Directors
retroactively approved, adopted and ratified approximately 53,000 options
which were granted to employees in excess of the 430,000 options originally
authorized. No more options may be granted under this plan. Options may be
exercised only at the rate of 20% of the common shares subject to such option
for each year of continuous service by the optionee commencing from the later
of July 2, 1987 or the optionee's employment commencement date. The Company
has entered into agreements committing the Company to loan to certain key
employees an amount sufficient to exercise their options, provided that the
Company will not loan in excess of 25% of the total amount available to the
employee in any one year. The Company will forgive any loan and accrued
interest on July 2, 1997, if the employee is then employed by the Company. As
of December 31, 1993 and 1992, loans related to 162,998 and 98,297 options,
totaling $1.2 million and $730,000, were extended under these terms.
The 1993 Stock Option Plan (the "1993 Plan") became effective on May 24, 1993
after approval by the Company's stockholders. The 1993 Plan is intended to be
an incentive stock option plan in accordance with the provisions of Section
422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. The Company has
reserved 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock for issuance upon exercise of
options under the 1993 Plan. The 1993 Plan will terminate on the earlier of
March 28, 2003 or the date on which all options granted under the 1993 Plan
have been exercised in full.
The Board of Directors of the Company will determine and designate from time
to time those employees of the Company to whom options are to be granted. If
any option terminates or expires prior to being exercised, the shares relating
to such option shall be released and may be subject to reissuance pursuant to
a new option. The Board of Directors has the right to, among other things,
fix the price, terms and conditions for the grant or exercise of any option.
The purchase price of the stock under each option shall be the fair market
value of the stock at the time such option is granted.
Options granted will vest 20% a year after the date of grant. The employee
must exercise the option within five years of the date each portion vests.
If an employee's employment with the Company terminates, the employee may,
within the 60 day period immediately following such termination of employment,
but in no event later than the expiration date specified in the Option
Agreement, exercise any options that have vested as of the date of such
60
WESTERN GAS RESOURCES, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
termination. If employment terminates by reason of death or disability, the
employee (in the event of disability) or the person or persons to whom rights
under the option shall pass by will or by the applicable laws of decent and
distribution (in the event of death), shall be entitled to exercise 100% of
the options granted regardless of the employee's years of service; provided
however, that no such option may be exercised after 180 days from the date of
death or termination of employment with the Company as a result of disability.
Through December 31, 1993, the Board of Directors has granted approximately
384,000 options at exercise prices ranging from $28.25 to $35.50 per share of
common stock to approximately 455 employees. No options granted under the
1993 Plan have vested.

Reserve Quantity Information
Reserve estimates are subject to numerous uncertainties inherent in the
estimation of quantities of proved reserves and in the projection of future
rates of production and the timing of development expenditures. The accuracy
of such estimates is a function of the quality of available data and of
engineering and geological interpretation and judgement. Results of
subsequent drilling, testing and production may cause either upward or
downward revisions of previous estimates. Further, the volumes considered to
be commercially recoverable fluctuate with changes in prices and operating
costs. Reserve estimates, by their nature, are generally less precise than
other financial statement disclosures.

Standardized Measures of Discounted Future Net Cash Flows
Estimated discounted future net cash flows and changes therein were determined
in accordance with SFAS No. 69. Certain information concerning the
assumptions used in computing the valuation of proved reserves and their
inherent limitations are discussed below. The Company believes such
information is essential for a proper understanding and assessment of the data
presented.
Future cash inflows are computed by applying year-end prices of oil and gas
relating to the Company's proven reserves to the year-end quantities of those
reserves. Future price changes are considered only to the extent provided by
contractual arrangements in existence at year-end.
The assumptions used to compute estimated future net revenues do not
necessarily reflect the Company's expectations of actual revenues or costs,
nor their present worth. In addition, variations from the expected production
rate also could result directly or indirectly from factors outside of the
Company's control, such as unintentional delays in development, changes in
prices or regulatory controls. The reserve valuation further assumes that all
reserves will be disposed of by production. However, if reserves are sold in
place additional economic considerations could also affect the amount of cash
eventually realized.
63
WESTERN GAS RESOURCES, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
Future development and production costs are computed by estimating the
expenditures to be incurred in developing and producing the proved oil and gas
reserves at the end of the year, based on year-end costs and assuming
continuation of existing economic conditions.
Future income tax expenses are computed by applying the appropriate year-end
statutory tax rates, with consideration of future tax rates already
legislated, to the future pretax net cash flows relating to the Company's
proved oil and gas reserves. Permanent differences in oil and gas related tax
credits and allowances are recognized.
An annual discount rate of 10% was used to reflect the timing of the future
net cash flows relating to proved oil and gas reserves.
Information with respect to the Company's estimated discounted future cash
flows from its oil and gas properties for the year ended December 31, 1993 is
