Transactions with Affiliates | (3) Transactions with Affiliates (a)Revenues All revenues during the year ended December 31, 2012, 2013, and 2014 were earned from Antero. (b)Accounts receivable—affiliate, and Accounts payable—affiliate Accounts receivable—affiliate represents amounts due from Antero, primarily related to gathering and compression services and other costs. Accounts payable—affiliate represents amounts due to Antero for general and administrative and other costs. (c)Accounts Payable, Accrued Expenses, and Accrued Capital Expenditures All accounts payable, accrued liabilities and accrued capital expenditures balances are due to unaffiliated parties. Prior to the IPO, all operating and capital expenditures were funded through capital contributions from Antero and borrowings under its midstream credit facility. See Note 4 – Long-term Debt. These balances were managed and paid under Antero’s cash management program. Following the IPO, we maintain our own bank accounts and sources of liquidity and continue to utilize Antero's cash management expertise. (d)Allocation of Costs The employees supporting our operations are employees of Antero. Direct operating expenses related to employees who support our operations are included in direct operating expense. Direct operating expense includes direct labor expenses from Antero of $1.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2014. General and administrative expense charged or allocated to us was $2.9 million, $23.1 million and $22.0 million during the year ended December 31, 2012, 2013 and 2014, respectively. These costs relate to: (i) various business services, including payroll processing, accounts payable processing and facilities management, (ii) various corporate services, including legal, accounting, treasury, information technology and human resources and (iii) compensation, including equity‑based compensation. These expenses are charged or allocated to us based on the nature of the expenses and are allocated based on a combination of our proportionate share of Antero’s gross property and equipment, capital expenditures and direct labor costs, as applicable. Our general and administrative expenses include equity-based compensation costs allocated by Antero. See Note 5—Equity-based Compensation for more information. (e)Agreements The Partnership has entered into various agreements with Antero, as summarized below. Gathering and Compression Pursuant to our 20‑year gathering and compression agreement, Antero has agreed to dedicate all of its current and future acreage in West Virginia, Ohio and Pennsylvania to us (other than the existing third‑party commitments). We also have an option to gather and compress natural gas produced by Antero on any acreage it acquires in the future outside of West Virginia, Ohio and Pennsylvania on the same terms and conditions. Under the gathering and compression agreement, we receive a low pressure gathering fee of $0.30 per Mcf, a high pressure gathering fee of $0.18 per Mcf, a compression fee of $0.18 per Mcf, and a condensate gathering fee of $4.00 per Bbl, in each case subject to CPI‑based adjustments. If and to the extent Antero requests that we construct new high pressure lines and compressor stations, the gathering and compression agreement contains minimum volume commitments that require Antero to utilize or pay for 75% and 70%, respectively, of the capacity of such new construction. Additional high pressure lines and compressor stations installed on our own initiative are not subject to such volume commitments. These minimum volume commitments on new infrastructure are intended to support the stability of our cash flows. Services Agreement Upon the closing of the IPO, we entered into a services agreement with Antero, pursuant to which Antero agrees to provide customary operational and management services for us in exchange for reimbursement of its direct expenses and an allocation of its indirect expenses attributable to the provision of such services to us. To the extent that these expenses are incurred by Antero on our behalf, we reimburse Antero for such expenses under the services agreement.
