Introduction

Item 1. Security and Issuer

This Amendment No. 1 amends Items 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7 of the Schedule 13D originally filed by The Williams Companies, Inc. (“Williams’) on December 20, 2012 (the “Original Schedule 13D”) This statement on Schedule 13D (“Schedule 13D”) relates to common units representing limited partner interests (“Common Units”) of Access Midstream Partners, L.P. (the “Issuer”). The Issuer is a Delaware limited partnership and its principal executive offices are located at 900 NW 63rd Street, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma 73118. Unless specifically amended hereby, the disclosure set forth in the Original Schedule 13D shall remain unchanged.

Common Units are issuable on a one-for-one basis upon the conversion of the Convertible Class B units representing limited partner interests of the Issuer (“Class B Units”).

Item 2. Identity and Background

The information previously provided in response to Item 2 is hereby amended and supplemented with the following:

(a) This Schedule 13D is filed by Williams.

(b) The business address of Williams is One Williams Center, Tulsa, Oklahoma, 74172-0172.

(c) The principal business of Williams is to provide the energy infrastructure to connect North America’s hydrocarbon resource plays to markets for natural gas, natural gas liquids and olefins.

(d)–(e) During the past five years, Williams has not (i) been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors) nor (ii) been a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of which was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.

(f) Not applicable.

In accordance with the provisions of General Instruction C to Schedule 13D, information concerning the executive officers, board of directors and each person controlling Williams, as applicable (collectively, the “Listed Persons”), required by Item 2 of Schedule 13D is provided on Schedule 1 hereto and is incorporated by reference herein. None of the Listed Persons have any beneficial interest in any Common Units. To Williams’s knowledge, none of the persons listed on Schedule 1 as a director or executive officer of Williams has been, during the last five years, (i) convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors), or (ii) a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.

Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

The information previously provided in response to Item 3 is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following:

The information provided or incorporated by reference in Item 4 below is hereby incorporated by reference herein.

Page 4 of 9

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction

The information previously provided in response to Item 4 is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following:

On June 14, 2014, Williams entered into a purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with GIP II Eagle Holdings Partnership, L.P., GIP II Hawk Holdings Partnership, L.P., GIP II Eagle 2 Holding, L.P. and GIP Hawk 2 Holding, L.P. to acquire from such entities 48,742,361 Common Units and 6,340,022 Convertible Class B Units of the Issuer, and 500 limited liability company units, which constitute 50 percent of the outstanding equity interests, of Access Midstream Ventures, L.L.C. (“AMV”), the sole member of Access Midstream Partners GP, L.L.C. (the “General Partner”), which serves as the general partner of the Issuer and holds all of the Issuer’s incentive distribution rights and a 2.0 percent general partner interest in the Issuer (together, the “GIP Purchase”).

Upon consummation of the GIP Purchase, Williams will indirectly own 100 percent of the outstanding equity of the General Partner, and approximately 50 percent of the limited partner interests in the Issuer (assuming no additional equity issuances by the Issuer). The consideration for the GIP Purchase is $5.995 billion subject to adjustments related to distributions received by the sellers through the closing date.

The foregoing description of the Purchase Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Purchase Agreement filed as Exhibit 1, which is incorporated in its entirety in this Item 4.

Williams will fund the GIP Purchase through a combination of the net proceeds of an underwritten public offering of its equity and the incurrence of new indebtedness, which may include an offering of capital markets debt or borrowings under its revolving credit facility or the Bridge Facility described below, and cash on hand.

Williams has obtained a backup financing commitment for an up to $5.995 billion bridge facility (the “Bridge Facility”) to fund the payment of the consideration for the GIP Purchase, if necessary. Pursuant to such commitment, the amount available for borrowing under the Bridge Facility will be reduced by the amount of any net proceeds received by Williams from any underwritten public offerings of its equity or debt securities.

The agreement governing the GIP Purchase includes customary representations, warranties, covenants and indemnities. The agreement is also subject to customary closing conditions, including the expiration of the applicable waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, and contains certain termination rights for the parties, including if the closing of the transactions contemplated by the agreement does not occur by December 31, 2014. The closing of the GIP Purchase is not conditioned upon the consummation of the Proposed Merger (defined below). The closing of the GIP Purchase is anticipated to occur in the third quarter of 2014.

On June 15, 2014, Williams announced that it had proposed the merger of Williams Partners L.P. (“WPZ”) with and into the Issuer (the “Proposed Merger”) following the completion of the GIP Purchase in a unit-for-unit exchange at a ratio of 0.85 Common Units of the Issuer per WPZ common unit. The terms of the Proposed Merger also include an option for WPZ unitholders to elect to receive either a one-time special payment of $0.81 per unit or an equivalent value of additional Common Units of the Issuer to compensate current WPZ unitholders for lower expected per-unit cash distributions in 2015.

Williams expects to negotiate the terms of the Proposed Merger with the conflicts committee of the board of directors of the general partner of each of WPZ and the Issuer. Each conflicts committee, comprised solely of independent board members, is expected to retain legal and financial advisors. The Proposed Merger is subject to approval by each conflicts committee and by WPZ unitholders. Williams has the ability to determine the outcome of the approval of WPZ unitholders without seeking a separate vote of non-affiliated WPZ unitholders by virtue of its ownership interest in WPZ. Williams does not intend to seek the approval of non-affiliated WPZ unitholders.

Williams may make additional purchases of Common Units either in the open market or in private transactions. Any actions that Williams might undertake, including any actions to acquire additional Common Units, or to retain or sell all or a portion of its interests in ACMP will be dependent upon Williams’s review of numerous factors, including, among other things, the price levels of the Common Units;

Page 5 of 9

general market and economic conditions; ongoing evaluation of the Issuer’s business, financial condition, operations and prospects; the relative attractiveness of alternative business and investment opportunities; and other future developments.

Except as described in this Item 4, Williams has no other plans or proposals that relate to or would result in any of the actions or events specified in clauses (a) through (i) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D. Williams may change its plans or proposals in the future. Williams reserves the right to acquire additional securities of the Issuer in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions (which may be with the Issuer or with third parties) or otherwise, to dispose of all or a portion of its respective holdings of securities of the Issuer or to change its intentions with respect to any or all of the matters referred to in this Item 4.

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer

The information previously provided in response to Item 5 is hereby amended and restated by replacing the text thereof in its entirety with the following:

(a) Williams is the record and beneficial owner of (i) 6,340,022 Class B Units. The Class B Units may be converted into Common Units on a one-for-one basis. If converted, Williams would be the record and beneficial owner of 46,477,717 Common Units, representing 23.7% of the outstanding Common Units, as calculated in accordance with Rule 13d-3(d)(1). None of the Listed Persons have any beneficial interest in any Common Units.

(b) If the Class B Units discussed in this Schedule 13D were converted into Common Units, Williams would have (i) sole power to vote 46,066,717 Common Units, (ii) shared power to vote 0 Common Units; (iii) sole power to dispose of 46,477,717 Common Units, and (iv) shared power to vote 0 Common Units.

(c) Except as described in Item 4 above and Item 6 below, neither Williams nor, to the knowledge of Williams, any of the Listed Persons has effected any transactions in the Common Units during the past 60 days.

(d) Williams has the right to receive distributions from, and the proceeds from the sale of, the Common Units reported on the cover pages of this Schedule 13D and in this Item 5. Except for the foregoing, no other person is known by Williams to have the right to receive or the power to direct the receipt of distributions from, or the proceeds from the sale of, Common Units beneficially owned by Williams.

Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer

The information provided or incorporated by reference in Item 4 is hereby incorporated by reference herein.

ARTICLE V

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE BUYER

The Buyer represents and warrants to the Sellers as of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date (except for such representations and warranties expressly made as of a specified date) as follows:

-8-

Section 5.01 Existence. The Buyer (a) is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the Laws of its jurisdiction of organization and (b) has all requisite power, and has all material governmental licenses, authorizations, consents and approvals, necessary to own its properties and carry on its business as its business is now being conducted, except where the failure to have such licenses, authorizations, consents and approvals would not have a Buyer Material Adverse Effect.

Section 5.02 Validity of Agreement; Authorization. The Buyer has the requisite power and authority to enter into the Transaction Documents to which it is or will be party, and to carry out its obligations thereunder. The execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents and the performance of the Buyer’s obligations thereunder have been duly authorized by the board of directors or similar governing body of the Buyer, and no other proceedings on the part of the Buyer are necessary to authorize such execution, delivery and performance. Each of the Transaction Documents to which the Buyer is or will be a party has been (in the case of this Agreement and the Transaction Documents executed on the date hereof), or will be at the Closing (in the case of any other Transaction Documents), duly executed and delivered by the Buyer and constitutes, or will constitute at the Closing, as applicable, the Buyer’s valid and binding obligation, enforceable against the Buyer in accordance with its terms (except to the extent that its enforceability may be limited by the Remedies Exception).

Section 5.03 Consents and Approvals. No consent, approval, waiver or authorization of, or filing, registration or qualification with any Governmental Authority or any other Person is required on the part of the Buyer for the Buyer to execute and deliver the Transaction Documents to which it is or will be party, or to perform its obligations thereunder, other than (i) any filings required to be made under the HSR Act and (ii) any consent, approval, waiver or authorization that would not have a Buyer Material Adverse Effect. For purposes of clarification, the Parties acknowledge that the Buyer is not making any representation and warranty in this Section 5.03 with respect to any Contract to which the Buyer is not, but an Acquired Company is, a party.

Section 5.04 No Breach. The execution, delivery and performance by the Buyer of the Transaction Documents to which it is or will be a party, and compliance by the Buyer with the terms and provisions thereof do not (a) violate any provision of any Law applicable to the Buyer or its subsidiaries or any of their respective properties, (b) result in any breach or violation of any provision of the Organizational Documents of the Buyer or any of its subsidiaries or (c) result in any material violation or breach of or constitute (with or without due notice or lapse of time or both) a material default under any Contract to which the Buyer or any of its subsidiaries is a party or by which the Buyer or any of its subsidiaries or any of their respective properties may be bound or receives any material right or benefit. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 5.04 shall not cover Contracts to which the General Partner is a party or is bound solely on behalf of another Acquired Company or properties of any Acquired Company not otherwise held or owned directly by the General Partner.

-9-

Section 5.05 Investment Intent. The Buyer (a) is an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D of the Securities Act and (b) is acquiring the Subject Interests hereunder solely for the purpose of investment and not with a view to, or for offer or sale in connection with, any distribution thereof other than in compliance with all applicable Laws, including United States federal securities Laws. The Buyer agrees that the Subject Interests it is acquiring hereunder may not be sold, transferred, offered for sale, pledged, hypothecated, or otherwise disposed of without registration under the Securities Act and any applicable state securities Laws, except pursuant to an exemption from such registration under the Securities Act and such Laws. The Buyer is able to bear the economic risk of holding such Subject Interests for an indefinite period, and (either alone or together with its advisors) has sufficient knowledge and experience in financial and business matters so as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risk of its investment. Without limiting the effect of the representations and warranties of the Sellers hereunder, the Buyer has had the opportunity to ask questions, receive answers and obtain such information as it considers to be relevant to its purchase of the Subject Interests hereunder.

Section 5.06 Available Funds. The Buyer has access to (through cash on hand or existing credit arrangements, arrangements with its Affiliates, any Debt Financing Sources or otherwise) all of the funds necessary for the acquisition of all of the Subject Interests pursuant to this Agreement, as and when needed, and to perform its obligations under this Agreement.

Section 5.07 Financial Advisors. The Buyer has not incurred any Liability for fees of any broker, finder or financial advisor in respect of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement for which the Sellers will have any responsibility or Liability whatsoever.

Section 5.08 Litigation. As of the date hereof, there are no Proceedings pending or, to the Knowledge of the Buyer, threatened, against the Buyer or to which the Buyer is otherwise a party or, to the Knowledge of the Buyer, a threatened party, challenging the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents or otherwise relating to such transactions, the Subject Interests or the Transaction Documents.

The Buyer shall have the right, but not the obligation, to oppose, through litigation or otherwise, any request, attempt or demand by any Governmental Authority or any other party for any divestiture, hold-separate, business limitation, limitation on conduct or governance of the Buyer or any of its respective Affiliates or any member of the Acquired Companies, or similar arrangement or undertaking in connection with this Agreement, the Transaction Documents or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, provided, that the Buyer shall, in any event and notwithstanding such exercise, take all such actions as are necessary in a timely manner to achieve the clearance or approval of the Governmental Authority or other party prior to the Outside Date.

-12-

-25-

(ii) any breach of any covenant or other agreement on the part of the Sellers under this Agreement and in any certificate delivered pursuant hereto.

(b) From and after the Closing, subject to Section 8.01 and Section 8.04, the Buyer hereby agrees to indemnify and hold the Sellers and their current and future respective Affiliates and each of the respective indirect and direct equity holders, members, directors, managers, officers, employees and agents of the foregoing (collectively, the “Seller Indemnified Parties”) harmless from and against, and pay to the applicable Seller Indemnified Parties the amount of, any and all Losses based upon, attributable to or resulting from (including any and all Proceedings, demands, or assessments arising out of):

Section 8.03 Indemnification Procedure.

(a) Each Indemnified Party agrees that promptly after it becomes aware of facts giving rise to a claim by it for indemnification pursuant to Section 8.02, such Indemnified Party will assert its claim for indemnification under Section 8.02 (each, a “Claim”) by providing a written notice (a “Claim Notice”) within the applicable Survival Period to the applicable indemnifying party (the “Indemnifying Party”) specifying, in reasonable detail, to the extent known by such Indemnified Party, the nature and basis for such Claim (e.g., the underlying representation, warranty or covenant alleged to have been breached and the condition or conduct allegedly resulting in such breach). Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Indemnified Party’s delay in sending a Claim Notice will not relieve the Indemnifying Party from Liability hereunder with respect to such Claim except to the extent (and limited solely to the extent) of any material prejudice to the Indemnifying Party by such failure or delay, provided that such Claim Notice is provided within the applicable Survival Period.

-26-

(b) In the event that any Proceeding is instituted or any Claim is asserted by any Third Party in respect of which indemnification may be sought under Section 6.09(d) or Section 8.02 hereof and in respect of which the Indemnifying Party has agreed in writing to indemnify the Indemnified Party for all of such Indemnified Party’s Losses (subject to any applicable limitations in this Article VIII) (a “Third Party Claim”), the Indemnifying Party will have the right, at such Indemnifying Party’s expense, to assume the defense of same including the appointment and selection of counsel on behalf of the Indemnified Party so long as such counsel is reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnifying Party elects to assume the defense of any such Third Party Claim, it shall within thirty (30) days notify the Indemnified Party in writing of its intent to do so. Subject to Section 8.03(c), the Indemnifying Party will have the right to settle or compromise or take any corrective or remedial action with respect to any such Third Party Claim by all appropriate proceedings, which proceedings will be diligently prosecuted by the Indemnifying Party to a final conclusion or settled at the discretion of the Indemnifying Party. The Indemnified Party will be entitled, at its own cost, to participate with the Indemnifying Party in the defense of any such Third Party Claim, unless separate representation of the Indemnified Party by counsel is reasonably necessary to avoid a conflict of interest, in which case such representation shall be at the expense of the Indemnifying Party. If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any such Third Party Claim but fails to diligently prosecute such Third Party Claim, or if the Indemnifying Party does not assume the defense of any such Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party may assume control of such defense and in the event the Third Party Claim is determined to be a matter for which the Indemnifying Party is required to provide indemnification under the terms of this Article VIII, the Indemnifying Party will bear the reasonable costs and expenses of such defense (including fees and expenses of counsel).

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Indemnifying Party will not be permitted to settle, compromise, take any corrective or remedial action or enter into an agreed judgment or consent decree or permit a default without the Indemnified Party’s prior written consent, in each case, that (i) does not include as an unconditional term thereof the delivery by the claimant or plaintiff to the Indemnified Party of a binding, irrevocable, written release of any Indemnified Party from all Liability, (ii) provides for any admission of Liability on the part of any Indemnified Party, (iii) requires an admission of guilt or wrongdoing on the part of any Indemnified Party or (iv) imposes any Liability or continuing obligation on or requires any payment from any Indemnified Party.

(b) No Buyer Indemnified Party shall be entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section 8.02(a)(i) related to a representation or warranty other than a Fundamental Representation unless the aggregate of all Losses claimed by the Buyer Indemnified Parties pursuant to such section that are not De Minimis Claims exceeds 1% of the Purchase Price (the “Claim Deductible”), in which case, subject to Section 8.04(d), the Sellers shall indemnify the Buyer Indemnified Party only for the Losses in excess of the Claim Deductible.

(c) No Seller Indemnified Party shall be entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section 8.02(b)(i) related to a representation or warranty other than a Fundamental Representation unless the aggregate of all Losses claimed by the Seller Indemnified Parties pursuant to such section exceeds the Claim Deductible, in which case, subject to Section 8.04(d), the Buyer shall indemnify the Seller Indemnified Party only for the Losses in excess of the Claim Deductible.

(d) The Sellers shall not have any obligation to indemnify the Buyer Indemnified Parties under Section 8.02(a)(i) for Losses that exceed, in the aggregate, 10% of the Purchase Price; provided, however, that such limitation shall not apply to Losses of the Buyer Indemnified Parties arising from any Fundamental Representation, and the Sellers’ aggregate Liability for such Losses, together with any other indemnifiable Losses, shall not exceed the Purchase Price. The Buyer shall not have any obligation to indemnify the Seller

-28-

Indemnified Parties under Section 8.02(b)(i) for Losses that exceed, in the aggregate, 10% of the Purchase Price; provided, however, that such limitation shall not apply to Losses of the Seller Indemnified Parties arising from any Fundamental Representation, and the Buyer’s aggregate Liability for such Losses, together with any other indemnifiable Losses, shall not exceed the Purchase Price.

(e) NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY IN THIS AGREEMENT, NEITHER THE BUYER NOR ANY SELLER NOR THEIR RESPECTIVE AFFILIATES SHALL BE LIABLE HEREUNDER TO ANY INDEMNIFIED PARTY FOR ANY (i) PUNITIVE OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES OR (ii) LOST PROFITS OR CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL OR INDIRECT DAMAGES EXCEPT, IN THE CASE OF THIS CLAUSE (ii), TO THE EXTENT SUCH LOST PROFITS OR DAMAGES ARE (x) NOT BASED ON ANY SPECIAL CIRCUMSTANCES OF THE PARTY ENTITLED TO INDEMNIFICATION AND (y) THE NATURAL, PROBABLE AND REASONABLY FORESEEABLE RESULT OF THE EVENT THAT GAVE RISE THERETO OR THE MATTER FOR WHICH INDEMNIFICATION IS SOUGHT HEREUNDER, REGARDLESS OF THE FORM OF ACTION THROUGH WHICH SUCH DAMAGES ARE SOUGHT, EXCEPT IN EACH CASE OF THE FOREGOING CLAUSES (i) AND (ii), TO THE EXTENT ANY SUCH LOST PROFITS OR DAMAGES ARE INCLUDED IN ANY ACTION BY A THIRD PARTY AGAINST SUCH INDEMNIFIED PARTY FOR WHICH IT IS ENTITLED TO INDEMNIFICATION UNDER THIS AGREEMENT.

Section 8.05 Calculation of Losses. In calculating amounts payable to an Indemnified Party, the amount of any indemnified Losses shall be computed net of (a) payments actually recovered by any Indemnified Party under any insurance policy with respect to such Losses net of expenses and (b) any actual recovery by any Indemnified Party from any Person with respect to such Losses net of expenses. Each Indemnified Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to pursue reimbursement for Losses, including under insurance policies and indemnity arrangements.

Section 8.06 No Duplication. In no event shall any Indemnified Party be entitled to recover any Losses under one Section or provision of this Agreement to the extent of the full amount of such Losses already recovered by such Indemnified Party, nor shall its insurer or indemnitor be entitled to any kind of subrogation or substitution which would give it the right to make a claim against the Indemnifying Party.

-29-

Section 8.07 Tax Treatment of Indemnity Payments. The Sellers and the Buyer agree to treat any indemnity payment made pursuant to this Article VIII as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for all Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by Law.

Section 12.11 Facsimiles; Electronic Transmission; Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by facsimile or other electronic transmission (including scanned documents delivered by email) by any Party and such execution shall be deemed binding for all purposes hereof, without delivery of an original signature being thereafter required. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which, when executed, shall be deemed to be an original and all of which together shall constitute one and the same document.

Section 12.12 Time of Essence. Time is of the essence in the performance of this Agreement.

Section 12.13 Sealed Instrument. The Parties acknowledge and agree that, solely with respect to the Fundamental Representations, it is their intent that this Agreement be, and that it will be treated and construed as, a sealed instrument under Delaware law, including the statute of limitations applicable to sealed instruments. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Transaction Document, the Parties acknowledge and agree that it is not their intent that this Agreement alter, extend or otherwise modify, or be treated or construed as altering, extending or otherwise modifying, any survival period under this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents or any statute of limitations under applicable Law (including Delaware law), except to the extent provided in the immediately preceding sentence with respect to the Fundamental Representations.

Section 12.14 Right to Rely. Following the Closing, any rights to indemnification, payment, reimbursement or other remedy based on representations, warranties, covenants or agreements in this Agreement or in any certificate delivered pursuant hereto shall not be affected by any investigation conducted at any time, or any knowledge acquired (or capable of being acquired) before the Closing. The waiver of any condition based on the accuracy of any representation or warranty, or in the performance of or compliance with, any such covenant or agreement, shall not affect the right to indemnification, payment, reimbursement, or any other remedy based on such representations, warranties, covenants or agreements.
