Texas firm to buy controversial natural gas assets in Wyoming

A Texas company says it will buy natural gas assets in Fremont County, some of which landowners suspect are responsible for polluting water wells.

Legacy Reserves LP of Midland, Texas, announced Tuesday it will buy the assets in the county for $45 million in cash, but it didn't identify the seller.

The purchase, which is set to close Dec. 1, includes properties, a natural gas gathering system, gas processing plant and related compression facilities, the company said.

"There are also multiple locations included in this acquisition that will be evaluated for future drilling," Legacy Reserves said in a media release.
