Includes Western Gas Partners (NYSE:WES), Enterprise Product Partners (NYSE:EPD) and Alerian MLP ETF (NYSEARCA:AMLP). 

The midstream arm of Anadarko Petroleum, Western Gas Partners (NYSE: WES) and midstream energy firm Enterprise Products Partners (NYSE: EPD) have formed a joint venture for two natural gas liquid, or NGL, fraction trains. Both of these energy infrastructure firms will become bigger and better in the coming years on the back of the U.S. oil and gas boom. Although I am bullish on these two firms, Enterprise Products in particular has outperformed Western Gas and is one of the most lucrative midstream investments at the moment.
