Business and Organization | (1) Business and Organization Antero Midstream Partners LP (the “Partnership”) is a growth-oriented master limited partnership formed by Antero Resources Corporation (“Antero Resources”) to own, operate and develop midstream energy infrastructure primarily to service Antero Resources’ rapidly increasing production and completion activity in the Appalachian Basin’s Marcellus Shale and Utica Shale located in West Virginia and Ohio. The Partnership’s assets consist of gathering pipelines, compressor stations, processing and fractionation plants, and water handling and treatment assets, through which the Partnership provides midstream services to Antero Resources under long-term, fixed-fee contracts. The Partnership’s combined consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2016, include the accounts of the Partnership, Antero Midstream LLC (“Midstream Operating”), Antero Water LLC Predecessor (“Antero Water”), Antero Treatment LLC (“Antero Treatment”), and Antero Midstream Finance Corporation (“Finance Corp”), all of which are entities under common control. On September 23, 2015, Antero Resources contributed (the “Water Acquisition”) (i) all of the outstanding limited liability company interests of Antero Water to the Partnership and (ii) all of the assets, contracts, rights, permits and properties owned or leased by Antero Resources and used primarily in connection with the construction, ownership, operation, use or maintenance of Antero Resources’ advanced wastewater treatment complex under construction in Doddridge County, West Virginia, to Antero Treatment (collectively, (i) and (ii) are referred to herein as the “Contributed Assets”). Our results for periods prior to September 23, 2015 have been recast to include the historical results of Antero Water because the transaction was between entities under common control. Antero Water’s operations prior to the Water Acquisition consisted entirely of fresh water delivery operations.

References to “the Partnership,” “we,” “our,” “us” or like terms, when referring to periods between November 10, 2014 and September 23, 2015 refer to the Partnership’s gathering and compression assets and Antero Resources’ water handling and treatment assets. References to “the Partnership,” “we,” “our,” “us” or like terms, when referring to periods since September 23, 2015 or when used in the present tense or prospectively, refer to the Partnership. The Partnership’s gathering and processing assets consist of 8-, 12-, 16-, 20-, and 24-inch high and low pressure gathering pipelines, compressor stations, and processing and fractionation plants that collect and process natural gas, NGLs and oil from Antero Resources’ wells in West Virginia and Ohio.
