Western Midstream Operating, LP

The officers of our general partner manage our operations and activities under the direction and supervision of the Board. As of December 31, 2025, WES employed 1,704 persons, all of whom reside in the United States. None of these employees are covered by collective bargaining agreements, and WES considers its employee relations to be good. Our 2025 voluntary attrition rate was 9%, which we believe is reasonable for our industry and market conditions during the year.

Our ability to provide exceptional customer service and generate value for our stakeholders is dependent on our success in recruiting and retaining top talent. To that end, we offer our employees competitive compensation packages and incentive-based awards, as well as a comprehensive offering of health and retirement benefits. In addition, we offer our employees a wide range of programs to help foster work-life balance and support working families, including flexible work schedules and a generous paid-time-off program. We have also implemented social involvement and volunteering programs to support our people and the communities in which we live and work.

Through regular training and orientation for employees and contractors and the inclusion of safety metrics in our incentive compensation program, we endeavor to create a culture in which safety underpins all decision making throughout the organization.
