In addition to favorable economic activity related to the commodity, WPZ is also operating its Geismar plant at a higher production level, thus increasing its market share in the industry.  Moreover, WPZ completed its Gulfstar One expansion project in the eastern deepwater Gulf of Mexico.

Furthermore, the company also sold its subsidiaries conducting operations in Canada on September 2016. With the sale of its operations in Canada and restructuring its contracts in the Barnett Shale and Mid-Continent region, the company improved its financial holding.  As a result, the company received over $800 million from renegotiating the contracts alone. In conclusion, these factors helped contribute to the stock’s rise.
