In July 2016, we sold a portion of our production assets in the Mid-Continent region and acquired a 50% equity interest in Carnero Gathering, LLC (“Carnero Gathering”). In November 2016, we completed a public offering of approximately 6,745,107 common units (which includes exercise of the underwriters’ option to purchase 194,305 common units) for net proceeds of approximately $69.7 million, after deducting customary offering expenses. Concurrent with the public offering, we completed a private placement of 2,272,727 common units representing limited partner interests for net proceeds of approximately $25.0 million. The combined proceeds were used to close the acquisition of a 50% equity interest in Carnero Processing, LLC (“Carnero Processing”) and the acquisition of working interests in 23 producing Eagle Ford Shale wellbores located in Dimmit and Zavala counties in South Texas and escalating working interests in an additional 11 producing wellbores in the Palmetto Field in Gonzales, Texas. In July 2017, we sold our equity interests in the entities that owned our remaining operated Oklahoma production assets for cash consideration of $5.5 million, subject to customary post-closing adjustments, and assumption by the buyer of certain plugging and abandonment costs. In August 2017, we completed construction of the “SECO Pipeline,” a natural gas pipeline with 400 MMcf/d of capacity that is designed and used to transport dry gas from the Raptor Gas Processing Facility (defined below) to multiple markets in South Texas. On October 12, 2017, we signed a purchase and sale agreement to sell certain oil and natural gas properties in Texas.
