Item 2.03. Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.

    (a)
    Direct Financial Obligation.

        On December 21, 2004, Western Gas Resources, Inc. ("Western") expanded its senior unsecured revolving credit facility with its existing syndicate of lenders from $400 million to a total of $500 million. Any borrowings by Western pursuant to this increase in commitments will be subject to and in accordance with the terms and conditions of the existing senior unsecured revolving credit facility. The additional availability under the facility is intended to be used for general working capital purposes if required.

        Additionally, Western entered into an amendment to increase the amount of aggregate commitments which Western can further request from lenders from time to time by an additional $100 million. All other terms and conditions of the senior unsecured revolving credit facility remain unmodified. In the event that Western seeks to expand the senior unsecured revolving credit facility by this additional $100 million the approval of Western's board of directors and approval of the lenders under the facility would be required.

        The foregoing summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the agreement and amendment to which the summary relates. The amendment is attached as an exhibit to this report on Form 8-K.
