Laurel Mountain Midstream LLC is a natural gas gathering and processing joint venture (JV) announced in April, 2009 between Williams Companies Inc and Atlas Pipeline Partners L.P. owned 51% by the former. Williams was said to have contributed $100 million in cash as well as a $25.5 million note. Atlas signed over its pipeline gathering system in Western Pennsylvania and northern West Virginia used for transporting Marcellus shale production from the well head. Two Atlas gas processing plants and their connecting pipelines in southwestern Pennsylvania were also sold to the JV for $12 million.

Atlas' gathering system consists of 1,800 miles of pipelines connecting 6,900 gas wells with a throughput in excess of 100 million cf/d.

The JV closed June 1, 2009. Williams was to be responsible on an ongoing basis for operating it, and to oversee the expansion of pipeline infrastructure anticipated in the region by Atlas and other gas production companies.
