Item 3.

Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

Pursuant to that certain Purchase Agreement, dated as of April 18, 2003, as amended by Amendment No. 1 thereto dated as of May 5, 2003 (as amended, the “Purchase Agreement”), among the Buyer, Williams Energy Services, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“WES”), Williams Natural Gas Liquids, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“WNGL”), and Williams GP LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Old Company,” and collectively with WES and WNGL, the “Sellers”), the Buyer agreed to buy and the Sellers agreed to sell, all of the Sellers’ limited partner interests in the Issuer and all of the membership interests in the Issuer’s general partner, WEG GP LLC (the “Issuer GP”). 

On June 17, 2003 (the “Closing”), Buyer acquired 1,079,694 Common Units, 5,679,694  Subordinated Units and 7,830,924 Class B Units of the Issuer, together with all of the membership interests in the Issuer GP (the “Acquisition”).

The Buyer paid the Sellers an aggregate of approximately $509.9 million in cash at the Closing.  The purchase price for the Acquisition also consists of the following consideration:

(i)                                     a second payment of up to approximately $1.9 million, constituting a portion of the cash distribution to Buyer in respect of the units for the quarterly period ending June 30, 2003.  The total amount of such second payment will equal 15/91 times 14,590,312 (the total number of units purchased by Buyer) times the quarterly distribution paid per unit by the Issuer for the quarterly period;

(ii)                                  a third possible payment from the sale, if any, by the Buyer of the first 5,000,000 Common Units or Class B Units after the Closing equal to 85% of the amount, if any, by which the proceeds received by the Buyer (net of any underwriting commissions, placement fees or other offering expenses payable by the Buyer) exceeds $37.50 per Common Unit or Class B Unit.  This third payment is capped at a maximum of $20,000,000; and

(iii)                               the Buyer’s assumption at the Closing of WES’ obligations to indemnify the Issuer GP, the Issuer and the Issuer’s subsidiaries for certain environmental remediation obligations in an aggregate amount of up to approximately $21.9 million.

The Buyer financed the first payment of approximately $509.9 million through a combination of equity contributions from its limited partners and proceeds from a $200 million discounted funded amount senior secured credit agreement entered into at the Closing by and among the Buyer, the lenders from time to time parties thereto (the “Lenders”), Lehman Brothers Inc., as arranger, Lehman Commercial Paper Inc., as syndication agent, and Lehman Commercial Paper Inc., as administrative agent (the “Credit Agreement”).

Item 4.

Purpose of Transaction

The Buyer entered into the Acquisition for investment purposes.  The following describes plans or proposals, including those in connection with the Acquisition, that the Reporting

Persons may have with respect to the matters set forth in Item 4(a)-(j) of Schedule 13D:

(a)                                  (i)                                     Subject to the terms and conditions of the Second Amended and Restated Partnership Agreement of the Issuer, as amended (the “Issuer Partnership Agreement”), the Issuer GP and its affiliates have the right to cause the Issuer to register for resale under the Securities Act  of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and applicable state securities laws any limited partner units that they hold.  The Issuer is obligated to pay all expenses incidental to the registration, excluding underwriting discounts and commission.  The Buyer has exercised such right and requested the Issuer to file a registration statement (the “Resale Shelf”) to register all of the Common Units (including Common Units issuable upon the Conversion of the Class B Units and Subordinated Units), Class B Units and Subordinated Units owned by Buyer for resale to the public.  The Buyer may sell units so registered from time to time in the future.

(ii)                                  The information set forth in Item 3 of this Schedule 13D with respect to the third payment of the Purchase Price is hereby incorporated by reference herein.

(iii)                               As provided in the Issuer Partnership Agreement, the Buyer has requested that the Issuer seek unitholder approval for the conversion of the Class B Units into Common Units.

(b)                                 None.

(c)                                  None.

(d)                                 It was a condition to the Closing that designees or nominees of the Buyer constitute a majority of the members of the board of directors of the Issuer GP.  One director resigned on April 22, 2003 and was not replaced.  Of the remaining six directors, five resigned effective immediately prior to or upon the Closing. The sixth director, Don R. Wellendorf, the President and Chief Executive Officer of the Issuer GP, continues to serve as a director of the Issuer GP.  Four of the six vacancies created by these resignations were filled at the Closing through the appointment of individuals affiliated with the MDP Entities and certain of the C/R Entities.   In addition, as soon as practicable, the Buyer intends to expand the size of the board to eight members and appoint three additional directors who satisfy the “independence” requirements of the New York Stock Exchange and the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).    Most of the pre-Acquisition executive officers of the Issuer GP have continued in those capacities following the Acquisition.

(e)                                  None.

(f)                                    None.

(g)                                 (i)                                     In connection with the Acquisition, the board of directors of the Issuer GP and the Buyer, as the sole member of the Issuer GP, adopted the Third Amendment to Limited Liability Company Agreement of WEG GP LLC (the “Third Amendment”).  Among other provisions, the Third Amendment requires the approval of Buyer, as the sole member of the Issuer GP, prior to the board of directors taking certain actions with respect to extraordinary matters that would, or would reasonably be expected to have, a direct or indirect material affect on the Buyer’s membership interest in the Issuer GP.  These extraordinary matters include (i) commencement of any action relating to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or relief of debtors by the Issuer GP, the Issuer or a material subsidiary of either; (ii) a merger, consolidation, recapitalization or similar transaction involving the Issuer GP, the Issuer or a material subsidiary of either; (iii) a sale, exchange or other transfer not in the ordinary course of business of a substantial portion of the assets of the Issuer GP or the Issuer, viewed in each case on a consolidated basis, in one or a series of related transactions; (iv) dissolution or liquidation of the Issuer GP or the Issuer; (v) a material amendment of the Issuer Partnership Agreement; and (vi) a material change in the amount of the quarterly distribution made on the Common Units or the payment of a material extraordinary distribution.

(ii)                                  At the Closing, the Buyer, The Williams Companies, Inc. (“Williams”), WES and WNGL entered into a new omnibus agreement (the “New Omnibus Agreement”).  The New Omnibus Agreement provides, inter alia, for (A) limitations through 2010 on the amount of general and administrative expenses for which the Issuer is required to reimburse the Buyer and its affiliates, (B) a non-competition clause prohibiting the Buyer and its subsidiaries (including the Issuer GP) from engaging in or acquiring certain businesses competing with the Issuer until June 2005 and (C) the continuation of certain obligations of Williams or its affiliates to indemnify the Issuer for certain liabilities.  Upon a Change of Control (as defined in the New Omnibus Agreement) of the Issuer GP or Buyer, the provisions described above will automatically terminate. 

(h)                                 None.

(i)                                     None.

(j)                                     Except as described in this Item 4, the Reporting Persons do not have, as of the date of this Schedule 13D, any plans or proposals that relate to or would result in any of the actions or events specified in clauses (a) through (i) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.  The Reporting Persons may change their plans or proposals in the future.  In determining from time to time whether to sell the Common Units reported as beneficially owned in this Schedule 13D (and in what amounts) or to retain such securities, the Reporting Persons will take into consideration such factors as they deem relevant, including the business and prospects of the Issuer,

anticipated future developments concerning the Issuer, existing and anticipated market conditions from time to time, general economic conditions, regulatory matters, and other opportunities available to the Reporting Persons.  The Reporting Persons reserve the right to acquire additional securities of the Issuer in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions (which may be with the Issuer or with third parties) or otherwise, to dispose of all or a portion of their holdings of securities of the Issuer or to change their intention with respect to any or all of the matters referred to in this Item 4.

Item 6.

Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer

Buyer Partnership Agreement and Limited Liability Company Agreement of Buyer GP

Pursuant to the Amended and Restated Limited Partnership Agreement of Buyer and the Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement of Buyer GP, management of the affairs of Buyer, which would include the voting of and disposition of the units, is vested in the Board of Managers of Buyer GP.

Issuer Partnership Agreement

Pursuant to the terms of the Issuer Partnership Agreement, upon the request of the Buyer, as the sole holder of the Class B Units, and upon approval of the holders of a majority of the Common Units voting at a meeting of the unitholders, the Class B Units will convert into an equal number of Common Units.  If the approval of the conversion by the Common unitholders is not obtained within 120 days of any such request, the Buyer, as the sole holder of the Class B Units, will be entitled to receive distributions with respect to such Class B Units, on a per unit basis, equal to 115% of the amount of the distributions paid on a Common Unit.  Under the terms of the Issuer Partnership Agreement, the Class B Units generally have no voting rights, except with respect to amendments to the Issuer Partnership Agreement that would have a material adverse effect on the rights or preferences of the Class B Units in relation to other classes of partnership interests.  No Class B Unit is deemed outstanding for the purpose of determining any vote or quorum. 

Pursuant to the terms of the Issuer Partnership Agreement, one quarter of the Subordinated Units may convert to Common Units on a one-for-one basis after December 31, 2003 if the Issuer meets the conversion tests set forth in the Issuer Partnership Agreement.  It is anticipated that the Issuer will meet the first early conversion test, resulting in the conversion of one-quarter of its outstanding Subordinated Units into Common Units as of December 31, 2003.  If the Issuer GP is removed in certain circumstances, all of the Subordinated Units will convert automatically into an equal number of Common Units.  Under the terms of the Issuer Partnership Agreement, the Subordinated Units generally count as one-half of a unit and are entitled to one-half of a vote on each matter with respect to which the Common Units are entitled to vote.   Depending on the matter subject to a vote, the Subordinated Units vote either as a separate class from the Common Units or as part of a single class with the Common Units.

The Issuer Partnership Agreement additionally contains various provisions with respect to the units governing, among other matters, distributions, transfers and allocations of profits and losses to the partners.

Credit Agreement

The information set forth in Item 3 and subparagraph (iii) of subparagraph (d) of Item 5 of this Schedule 13D is hereby incorporated herein. Pursuant to Sections 5.11 and 5.12 of the Credit Agreement, attached here to as Exhibit D, the Buyer is obligated to promptly exercise its rights under the Issuer Partnership Agreement to have a vote for conversion of the Class B Units into Common Units and to cause registration under the Securities Act of 1933 of (i) the Common

Units, (ii) the Class B Units, and, in certain circumstances, (iii) the Subordinated Units, in each case as acquired by Buyer in the Acquisition or subsequently acquired by Buyer through conversion of the Class B Units or the Subordinated Units.    The units have been pledged as collateral under the Credit Agreement.
