In an end of April, 2009 update from Williams, the company President, Steve Malcolm, explained the basis of the partnership by saying,

this transaction provides Williams with the gathering systems and a very large acreage dedication in the heart of the Marcellus that gives us a couple of year head start in the development of a large scale, highly-reliable system which provides needed midstream services to both Atlas Energy and other producers in the region.

The transaction closed June 1, 2009. Williams was to operate the pipeline venture.
