• business strategies;

• ability to replace the reserves we produce through acquisitions and the development of our properties;

• oil and natural gas reserves;

• technology;

• realized oil and natural gas prices;

• production volumes;

• lease operating expenses;

• general and administrative expenses;

• future operating results;

• cash flow and liquidity;

• availability of production equipment;

• availability of oil field labor;

• capital expenditures;

• availability and terms of capital;

• marketing of oil and natural gas;

• general economic conditions;

• competition in the oil and natural gas industry;

• effectiveness of risk management activities;

• environmental liabilities;

• counterparty credit risk;

• governmental regulation and taxation;

• developments in oil producing and natural gas producing countries; and

• plans, objectives, expectations and intentions.

All of these types of statements, other than statements of historical fact included in this Form 10-Q, are forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements may be found in Item 1. “Financial Statements,” Item 2. “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and other items within this Form 10-Q. In some

cases, forward-looking statements can be identified by terminology such as “may,” “will,” “could,” “should,” “expect,” “plan,” “project,” “intend,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “predict,” “potential,” “pursue,” “target,” “continue,” “goal,” “forecast,” “guidance,” “might,” “scheduled” and the negative of such terms or other comparable terminology.

The forward-looking statements contained in this Form 10-Q are largely based on our expectations, which reflect estimates and assumptions made by our management. These estimates and assumptions reflect our best judgment based on currently known market conditions and other factors. Although we believe such estimates and assumptions to be reasonable, they are inherently uncertain and involve a number of risks and uncertainties that are beyond our control. In addition, management’s assumptions about future events may prove to be inaccurate. All readers are cautioned that the forward-looking statements contained in this Form 10-Q are not guarantees of future performance, and we cannot assure any reader that such statements will be realized or that the forward-looking events will occur. Actual results may differ materially from those anticipated or implied in the forward-looking statements due to factors described in the “Risk Factors” section included in Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 (“Annual Report”).

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 1. Organization and Nature of Operations

Nature of Operations

Mid-Con Energy Partners, LP (“we,” “our,” “us,” the “Partnership,” the "Company") is a publicly held Delaware limited partnership formed in July 2011 that engages in the ownership, acquisition, exploitation and development of producing oil and natural gas properties in North America, with a focus on enhanced oil recovery ("EOR"). Our general partner is Mid-Con Energy GP, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company. Our limited partner units ("common units") are traded on the NASDAQ Global Select Market under the symbol “MCEP.”

Basis of Presentation

Our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. These financial statements have not been audited by our independent registered public accounting firm, except that the condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2014 is derived from the audited financial statements.  Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") have been condensed or omitted in this Form 10-Q. We believe that the presentations and disclosures herein are adequate to make the information not misleading. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the interim periods. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the full year. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014.

All intercompany transactions and account balances have been eliminated.

Reclassifications

The condensed consolidated financial statements for previous periods include certain reclassifications to the derivative accounts that were made to conform to current presentation. Such reclassifications have no impact on previously reported total assets, net income (loss) or total operating cash flows.

Note 2. Acquisitions

Acquisitions 2014

The following acquisitions were accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting. Accordingly, we conducted assessments of net assets acquired and recognized amounts for identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their estimated fair values on the acquisition dates, while transaction and integration costs associated with the acquisitions were expensed as incurred. The results of all acquisitions have been included in the consolidated financial statements since the acquisition dates.

Eastern Shelf acquisition

Note 3. Equity Awards

We have a long-term incentive program (the “Long-Term Incentive Program”) for employees, officers, consultants and directors of our general partner and its affiliates, including Mid-Con Energy Operating, LLC (“Mid-Con Energy Operating”), who perform services for us. The Long-Term Incentive Program allows for the award of unit options, unit appreciation rights, unrestricted units, restricted units, phantom units, distribution equivalent rights granted with phantom units, and other types of awards, and it is administered by the members of our general partner (the "Founders") and approved by the Board of Directors of the general partner. The Long-Term Incentive Program permits the grant of awards covering an aggregate of 1,764,000 units under the Form S-8 we filed with the SEC on January 25, 2012. If an employee terminates employment prior to the restriction lapse date, the awarded units are forfeited and canceled and are no longer considered issued and outstanding. The following table shows the number of existing awards and awards available under the Long-Term Incentive Program at June 30, 2015:

	Number of Common Units
Approved and authorized awards	1,764,000
Unrestricted units granted	(1,040,824	)
Restricted units granted, net of forfeitures	(460,321	)
Phantom units issued, net of forfeitures	(22,166	)
Awards available for future grant	240,689

We account for restricted units as equity awards since these awards will be settled by issuing common units. These restricted units generally vest over a three-year period and we assume a 10% forfeiture rate. A summary of our restricted units awarded for the six months ended June 30, 2015 is presented below:

Restricted awards:	Number of Restricted Units		Average Grant Date Fair Value per Unit
Outstanding at December 31, 2014	109,800		$23.28
Units granted	294,100		$5.42
Units vested	(119,070	)	$9.69
Units forfeited	(6,408	)	$18.50
Outstanding at June 30, 2015	278,422		$10.34

As of June 30, 2015, there was approximately $1.7 million of unrecognized compensation costs related to non-vested restricted units. The cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 1.5 years.

During the six months ended June 30, 2015, we granted 202,000 unrestricted and 268,000 restricted common units with one-third vesting immediately and the other two-thirds vesting over two-years, and 26,100 restricted common units with a three-year vesting period.

We recognized $0.4 million and $2.4 million of total equity-based compensation expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, respectively, and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 we recognized $0.3 million and $6.0 million of total equity-based compensation expense, respectively. These costs are reported as a component of general and administrative expense in our unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations.

Note 4. Derivative Financial Instruments

The objective of our risk management program is to achieve more predictable cash flows by reducing our exposure to short-term fluctuations in the price of oil and natural gas.  We believe this strategy will protect our ability to make current distributions and, by retaining some opportunity to participate in upward price movements, may also enhance our position to increase distributions in the future.  To this end, we utilize financial derivatives-namely swaps, calls and puts-to manage a portion of our exposure to commodity prices and specific delivery points.  We enter into commodity derivative contracts and/or modify our portfolio of existing commodity derivative contracts when we believe market conditions or other circumstances suggest that it is prudent to do so. 

11

At June 30, 2015, our open positions consisted of crude oil price swaps and collars consisting of long puts and short calls with the same strike price. Under commodity swap agreements, we exchange a stream of payments over time according to specified terms with another counterparty. In a typical commodity swap agreement, we agree to pay an adjustable or floating price tied to an agreed upon index for the oil commodity and in return receive a fixed price based on notional quantities. With the collars having the same strike prices, they settle like a swap.

Each call transaction has an established fixed price. When the settlement price is above the fixed price, we pay the counterparty an amount equal to the difference between the settlement price and the fixed price multiplied by the contract volume. If the settlement price is below the fixed price, the call option expires.

Each put transaction has an established fixed price. The counterparty charges a premium in order to enter into the put transactions. These premiums are deferred and will be paid monthly as the contracts settle. If the floating price is below the floor price, we receive from the counterparty an amount equal to the difference multiplied by the contract volume net of the deferred premium we owe upon contract settlement. If the floating price exceeds the fixed price, the put option expires and we pay the deferred premium.

We have elected not to designate commodity derivative contracts as hedges for accounting purposes; therefore, the mark-to-market adjustment reflecting the change in the fair value of unsettled derivative contracts is recorded in current period earnings. When prices for oil are volatile, a significant portion of the effect of our hedging activities consists of non-cash gains or losses due to changes in the fair value of our commodity derivative contracts. Net settlement gains or losses on derivative contracts only arise from net payments made or received on monthly settlements or if a commodity derivative contract is terminated prior to its expiration. Pursuant to the accounting standard that permits netting of assets and liabilities where the right of offset exists, we present the fair value of derivative financial instruments on a net basis. At June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, we recorded the estimated fair value of the derivative contracts as a net asset of $16.8 million and $27.0 million, respectively.

As of June 30, 2015, we had the following oil derivative open positions:

Period Covered	Weighted Average Fixed Price	Weighted Average Floor Price		Weighted Average Ceiling Price		Total Bbls Hedged/day
Swaps - 2015	$90.63					2,446
Swaps - 2016	$84.11					1,434
Collars - 2015		$	50.00	$	50.00	489
Collars - 2016		$	50.00	$	50.00	1,107

During the first quarter of 2015, we restructured a significant portion of our existing oil derivatives that were in place at December 31, 2014. This resulted in the early settlement of certain contracts existing at December 31, 2014, and entering into new oil derivative contracts which extend through September 2016. In connection with the early termination and modifications of our commodity derivative contracts, we received net proceeds of approximately $11.1 million from the early termination of contracts at January 31, 2015, received approximately $5.9 million from selling calls and paid out approximately $19.8 million in premiums to extend the contracts through September 2016. The restructuring also resulted in approximately $4.1 million in deferred put options. As of June 30, 2015, we had paid $1.4 million of the deferred put premiums in connection with contract settlements.

Our oil derivative contracts expose us to credit risk in the event of nonperformance by counterparties. While we do not require our counterparties to our derivative contracts to post collateral, it is our policy to enter into derivative contracts only with counterparties that are major, creditworthy financial institutions deemed by management as competent and competitive market makers. We evaluate the credit standing of such counterparties by reviewing their credit rating. As of June 30, 2015, the counterparties to our derivative contracts currently in place are lenders under our revolving credit facility and have investment grade credit ratings.

The following tables summarizes the gross fair value by the appropriate balance sheet classification, even when the derivative instruments are subject to netting arrangements and qualify for net presentation in our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 (in thousands):

Note 5. Fair Value Disclosures

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying amounts reported in our balance sheet for cash, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate their fair values. The carrying amount of long-term debt under our revolving credit facility approximates fair value because the revolving credit facility’s variable interest rate resets frequently and approximates current market rates available to us.

We account for our derivative financial instruments at fair value. The fair value of our derivative financial instruments is determined utilizing NYMEX closing prices for the contract period.

Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is the price that would be received upon the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. GAAP establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy that is intended to increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements and related disclosures. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3).

Our assets and liabilities recorded in the balance sheet are categorized based on the inputs to the valuation technique as follows:

Level 1—Financial assets and liabilities for which values are based on unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in an active market that management has the ability to access.

Level 2—Financial assets and liabilities for which values are based on quoted prices in markets that are not active or model inputs that are observable either directly or indirectly for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.

Level 3—Financial assets and liabilities for which values are based on prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement. These inputs reflect management’s own assumptions about the assumptions a market participant would use in pricing the asset or liability.

When the inputs used to measure fair value fall within different levels of the hierarchy in a liquid environment, the level within which the fair value measurement is categorized is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. Changes in the observability of valuation inputs may result in a reclassification for certain financial assets or liabilities.

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

We account for our commodity derivatives and their corresponding deferred premiums at fair value on a recurring basis. We use certain pricing models to determine the fair value of our derivative financial instruments. Inputs to the pricing models include publicly available prices from a compilation of data gathered from third parties and brokers. We validate the data provided by our counterparties and third-party providers by understanding the pricing models used, obtaining market values from other pricing sources, analyzing pricing data in certain situations and confirming that those securities trade in active markets. See Note 4 for a summary of our derivative financial instruments.

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis

We estimate the fair value of the asset retirement obligations based on discounted cash flow projections using numerous estimates, assumptions and judgments regarding such factors as the existence of a legal obligation for an asset retirement obligation; amounts and timing of settlements; the credit-adjusted risk-free rate to be used; and inflation rates. See Note 6 for a summary of changes in asset retirement obligations.

We review our long-lived assets to be held and used, including proved oil and natural gas properties, whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value of those assets may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is indicated if the sum of the expected undiscounted future net cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the assets. In this circumstance, we recognize an impairment loss for the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the estimated fair value of the asset. Estimating future cash flows involves the use of judgments, including estimation of the proved oil and natural gas reserve quantities, timing of development and production, expected future commodity prices, capital expenditures and production costs. There were no impairment charges for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014.

The following sets forth, by level within the hierarchy, the fair value of our assets and liabilities measured at fair value as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 (in thousands):

Our estimates of fair value have been determined at discrete points in time based on relevant market data. These estimates involve uncertainty and cannot be determined with precision. There were no changes in valuation techniques or related inputs for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014.

Note 6. Asset Retirement Obligations

Our asset retirement obligations ("ARO") represent the estimated present value of the amount we will incur to plug, abandon and remediate our oil and natural gas properties at the end of their production lives, in accordance with applicable state laws. We determine our ARO by calculating the present value of estimated cash flow related to the liability. Each year we review and to the extent necessary, revise our ARO estimates.

AROs are recorded as a liability at their estimated present value at the various assets’ inception, with the offsetting charge to oil and natural gas properties. Periodic accretion of the discounted estimated liability is recorded in our unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations. The discounted capitalized cost is amortized to expense through the depreciation calculation over the life of the assets based on proved developed reserves.

Changes in our ARO for the periods indicated are presented in the following table:

	Six Months Ended   June 30, 2015		Year Ended    December 31, 2014

Asset retirement obligation - end of period	$	7,614	$	7,363

As of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, all of our ARO were classified as long-term and were reported as “Asset Retirement Obligations” in our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Note 7. Debt

As of June 30, 2015, our credit facility consists of a $250.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility that expires in November 2018. Borrowings under the revolving credit facility may not exceed our current borrowing base of $220.0 million as determined at April 2, 2015.

Borrowings under the facility are secured by liens on not less than 80% of our assets and the assets of our subsidiaries. We may use borrowings under the facility for acquiring and developing oil and natural gas properties, for working capital purposes, for general partnership purposes and for funding distributions to our unitholders. At June 30, 2015, we had $200.0 million of borrowings outstanding under the revolving credit facility. The facility requires us and our subsidiaries to maintain a leverage ratio of Consolidated Funded Indebtedness to Consolidated EBITDAX (as defined in the facility) of not more than 4.0 to 1.0, and a current ratio of not less than 1.0 to 1.0.

Borrowings under the revolving credit facility bear interest at a floating rate based on, at our election: (i) the greater of the prime rate of the Royal Bank of Canada, the federal funds effective rate plus 0.50%, or the one month adjusted London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus 1.0%, all of which are subject to a margin that varies from 0.75% to 1.75% per annum according to the borrowing base usage (which is the ratio of outstanding borrowings and letters of credit to the borrowing base then in effect), or (ii) the applicable LIBOR plus a margin that varies from 1.75% to 2.75% per annum according to the borrowing base usage. For the three months ended June 30, 2015, the average effective interest rate was approximately 2.95%. The unused portion of the borrowing base is subject to a commitment fee that varies from 0.375% to 0.50% per annum according to the borrowing base usage.

During February 2015, the revolving credit facility was amended to allow our EBITDAX calculation, as defined in section 7.13 of the original revolving credit agreement, to reflect the net cash flows attributable to the restructured commodity derivative contracts that occurred during January 2015 to be recognized in specific amounts for the periods of the first quarter 2015 through the third quarter of 2016.

With the April 2, 2015 redetermination, our borrowing base was reduced to $220.0 million from $240.0 million. No other material terms of the original credit agreement were amended. The next scheduled borrowing base redetermination is expected to take place in October 2015. The borrowing base is determined by the lenders based on the value of our proved oil and natural gas reserves using assumptions regarding future prices, costs and other matters that may vary. The borrowing base is subject to scheduled redeterminations on or about April 30th and October 31st of each year with an additional redetermination during the period between each scheduled borrowing base determination, either at our request or at the request of the lenders. An additional borrowing base redetermination may be made at the request of the lenders in connection with a material disposition of our properties or a material liquidation of a hedge contract.

The revolving credit facility includes customary affirmative and negative covenants, such as limitations on the creation of new indebtedness and on certain liens, restrictions on certain transactions and payments. If we fail to perform our obligations under these and other covenants, the revolving credit commitments may be terminated and any outstanding indebtedness under the credit agreement, together with accrued interest could be declared immediately due and payable. We were in compliance with all debt covenants throughout the period ended June 30, 2015.

Note 8. Commitments and Contingencies

We have a service agreement with Mid-Con Energy Operating, pursuant to which Mid-Con Energy Operating will provide certain services to us, our subsidiaries and our general partner, including management, administrative and operations services, which include marketing, geological and engineering services. Under the services agreement, we reimburse Mid-Con Energy Operating, on a monthly basis, for the allocable expenses it incurs in its performance under the services agreement. These expenses include, among other things, salary, bonus, incentive compensation and other amounts paid to persons who perform services for or on our behalf and other expenses allocated by Mid-Con Energy Operating to us.

We are party to various claims, legal actions and complaints arising in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, the ultimate resolution of all claims, legal actions and complaints after consideration of amounts accrued, insurance coverage or other indemnification arrangements will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Our general partner has entered into employment agreements with the following named employees of our general partner: Jeffrey R. Olmstead, President and Chief Executive Officer; and Charles R. Olmstead, Executive Chairman of the Board of our general partner. The previous employment agreement with S. Craig George was terminated in August 2014. The employment agreements provide for a term that commenced on August 1, 2011 and automatically renewed on August 1, 2014 for an additional year, unless earlier terminated, and will continue to automatically renew for one-year terms unless either we or the employee gives written notice of termination at least by February 1st preceding any such August 1st. Pursuant to the employment agreements, each employee will serve in his respective position with our general partner, as set forth above, and has duties, responsibilities, and authority as the board of directors of our general partner may specify from time to time, in roles consistent with such positions that are assigned to him. The agreement stipulates that if there is a change of control, termination of employment with cause or without cause, or death of the executive certain payments will be made to the executive officer. These payments, depending on the reason for termination, currently range from $0.8 million to $1.4 million, including the value of vesting of any outstanding units.

Note 9. Equity

Common Units

At June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Partnership’s equity consisted of 29,655,804 and 29,166,112 common units, respectively, representing approximately a 98.8% limited partnership interest in us.

On May 5, 2015, we entered into an Equity Distribution Agreement (the “Agreement”) to sell, from time to time through or to the Managers (as defined in the Agreement), up to $50.0 million in common units representing limited partner interests (“Common Units”). The sales, if any, of Common Units made under the Agreement will be made by any method permitted by law deemed to be an "at-the-market-offering" as defined in Rule 415 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), including without limitation, sales made directly on the NASDAQ Global Select Market, on any other existing trading market for our common units or to or through a market maker. We intend to use the net proceeds of any sales pursuant to the Equity Distribution Agreement, after deducting the Managers’ commissions and offering expenses, for general purposes, which may include, among other things, repayment of indebtedness, future acquisitions, capital expenditures and additions to working capital. The Common Units to be issued are registered under a previously filed shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-195669), which was declared effective by the SEC on October 21, 2014. During the three months ended June 30, 2015, we did not sell any common units.

Cash Distributions

We intend to continue to make regular cash distributions to unitholders on a quarterly basis, although there is no assurance as to the future cash distributions since they are dependent upon future earnings, cash flows, capital requirements, financial condition and other factors. Our revolving credit facility prohibits us from making cash distributions if any potential default or event of default, as defined in our revolving credit facility, occurs or would result from the cash distribution.

Our partnership agreement requires us to distribute all of our available cash on a quarterly basis. Our available cash is our cash on hand at the end of a quarter after the payment of our expenses and the establishment of reserves for future capital expenditures and operational needs, including cash from working capital borrowings. Our cash distribution policy reflects a basic judgment that our unitholders will be better served by us distributing our available cash, after expenses and reserves, rather than retaining it.

17

The following sets forth the distributions we paid during the six months ended June 30, 2015 (in thousands, except per unit distribution):

Date Paid	Period Covered	Distribution per Unit	Total Distribution
February 13, 2015	October 1, 2014 - December 31, 2014	$0.125	$3,752
May 14, 2015	January 1, 2015 - March 31, 2015	$0.125	$3,752

On July 22, 2015, the Board of Directors of our general partner approved a quarterly cash distribution for the second quarter of 2015 of $0.125 per unit, or $0.50 per unit on an annualized basis, which will be paid on August 13, 2015, to unitholders of record at the close of business on August 6, 2015. The aggregate amount of the distribution will be approximately $3.8 million.

Allocation of Net Income

Net income is allocated between our general partner and the limited partner unitholders in proportion to their pro rata ownership during the period.

Note 10. Related Party Transactions

The following agreements were negotiated among affiliated parties and, consequently, are not the result of arm’s length negotiations. The following is a description of those agreements that have been entered into with the affiliates of our general partner and with our general partner.

Services Agreement

We are party to a services agreement with Mid-Con Energy Operating pursuant to which Mid-Con Energy Operating provides certain services to us, including management, administrative and operational services. The operational services include marketing, geological and engineering services. Under the services agreement, we reimburse Mid-Con Energy Operating, on a monthly basis, for the allocable expenses it incurs in its performance under the services agreement. These expenses include, among other things, salary, bonus, incentive compensation and other amounts paid to persons who perform services for us or on our behalf and other expenses allocated by Mid-Con Energy Operating to us. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, we reimbursed Mid-Con Energy Operating approximately $0.8 million and $1.7 million, for direct expenses, respectively. These costs are included in the general and administrative expenses in our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Other Transactions with Related Persons

We, various third parties with an ownership interest in the same property and our affiliate, Mid-Con Energy Operating, are party to standard oil and natural gas joint operating agreements, pursuant to which we and those third parties pay Mid-Con Energy Operating overhead charges associated with operating our properties (commonly referred to as the Council of Petroleum Accountants Societies, or COPAS, fee). We and those third parties will also pay Mid-Con Energy Operating for its direct and indirect expenses that are chargeable to the wells under their respective operating agreements.

During February and August 2014, we acquired from Mid-Con Energy III, LLC, an affiliated company, certain oil properties located in Oklahoma and Texas. The terms of the acquisitions were approved by the Conflicts Committee of the Board of Directors of the General Partner (the “Conflicts Committee”). The Conflicts Committee, which is composed entirely of independent directors, retained independent legal and financial counsel to assist it in evaluating and negotiating the purchase agreements and the acquisitions. The purchase agreements contained representations and warranties, covenants and indemnification provisions that are typical for transactions of this nature and that were made or agreed to, among other things, to provide the parties thereto with specified rights and obligations and to allocate risk among them. See Note 2 to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for more information regarding these acquisitions.

At June 30, 2015, we had payables to Mid-Con Energy Operating of approximately $1.2 million which was comprised of a joint interest billing payable of approximately $0.9 million and a payable for operating services of approximately $0.3 million. These amounts are included in the Accounts payable-related parties in our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Note 11. New Accounting Standards

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which provides a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and will supersede most current revenue recognition guidance. The standard is effective for public entities for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is not permitted. On April 1, 2015, the Financial Accounting Standard Board tentatively decided to defer the effective date of Accounting Standard Update No. 2014-09 by one year. As a result, public entities would apply the new revenue standard to annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and to interim periods within that reporting period, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact the pronouncement will have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In February 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2015-02, Consolidation (Topic 810): Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis, which provides guidance on the consolidation evaluation for reporting organizations that are required to evaluate whether they should consolidate certain legal entities such as limited partnerships, limited liability corporations, and securitization structures (collateralized debt obligations, collateralized loan obligations, and mortgage-backed security transactions). In addition to reducing the number of consolidation models from four to two, the guidance simplifies and improves current guidance by placing more emphasis on risk of loss when determining a controlling financial interest and reducing the frequency of the application of related-party guidance when determining a controlling financial interest in a VIE. The standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015, including interim periods within that reporting period, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the effect, if any, that this new guidance will have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In April 2015, the Financial Accounting Board issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2015-03, Interest: Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs. The update requires debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the related debt liability instead of being presented as an asset. Debt disclosures will include the face amount of the debt liability and the effective interest rate. The update requires retrospective application and represents a change in accounting principle. The update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact the pronouncement will have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Note 12. Subsequent Events

Distributions

On July 22, 2015, the Board of Directors of our general partner approved a quarterly cash distribution for the second quarter of 2015 of $0.125 per unit, or $0.50 on an annualized basis, which will be paid on August 13, 2015, to unitholders of record at the close of business on August 6, 2015. The aggregate amount of the distribution will be approximately $3.8 million.

Also on July 22, 2015, the Board of Directors of our general partner authorized the issuance of 54,551 unrestricted common units, 69,000 equity-settled phantom units with one-third vesting immediately and the other two thirds vesting over two-years, and 46,500 equity-settled phantom units with a three-year vesting period. The equity-settled phantom units do not have any rights or privileges of a unit holder, including right to distributions, until vesting and the resulting conversion into common units. These units were granted to certain employees of our affiliates and certain directors and founders of our general partner.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations should be read in conjunction with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto, as well as our Annual Report.

Overview

Mid-Con Energy Partners, LP (“we,” “our,” “us,” the “Partnership”) is a publicly held Delaware limited partnership

formed in July 2011 that engages in the ownership, acquisition, exploitation and development of producing oil and natural gas properties in North America, with a focus on enhanced oil recovery ("EOR"). Our general partner is Mid-Con Energy GP, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company. Our limited partner units ("common units") are traded on the NASDAQ Global Select Market under the symbol “MCEP”.

19

Our properties are located primarily in the Mid-Continent and Permian Basin regions of the United States in five core areas: Southern Oklahoma, Northeastern Oklahoma, parts of Oklahoma, Colorado and Texas within the Hugoton, Texas Gulf Coast and Texas within the Eastern Shelf of the Permian ("Permian"). Our properties primarily consist of mature, legacy onshore oil reservoirs with long-lived, relatively predictable production profiles and low production decline rates.

We are an “emerging growth company” as defined in Section 101 of the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, or the JOBS Act.

Quarterly Highlights

Cash Distributions

On May 14, 2015, we paid a cash distribution to unitholders for the first quarter of 2015 at a rate of $0.125 per unit. The aggregate amount of the distribution was approximately $3.8 million.

Appointment of Certain Officers

On June 23, 2015, we announced the following changes to the executive officer positions, to be effective July 1, 2015:

• Mr. Bradley A. Cox was named Executive Vice President of Business Development and Chief Engineer, replacing Dr. Michael L. Wiggins whose resignation was effective on July 1, 2015.

• Mrs. Sherry L. Morgan was named Chief Accounting Officer of the General Partner, replacing Mr. David A. Culbertson whose resignation was effective on July 1, 2015.

Business Environment

The markets for oil, natural gas, and NGLs have been volatile historically and may continue to be volatile in the future, which means that the price of oil can fluctuate widely. Sustained periods of low prices for oil could materially and adversely affect our financial position, our results of operations, the quantities of oil reserves that we can economically produce and our access to capital.

The objective of our risk management program is to achieve more predictable cash flows by reducing our exposure to short-term fluctuations in the price of oil and natural gas. We believe this strategy will protect our ability to make current distributions and, by retaining some opportunity to participate in upward price movements, may also enhance our position to increase distributions in the future. To this end, we utilize commodity derivatives-namely swaps, calls and puts-to manage our exposure to commodity prices and specific delivery points. We enter into commodity derivative contracts and/or modify our portfolio of existing derivative contracts when we believe market conditions or other circumstances suggest that it is prudent to do so. We conduct our risk management activities exclusively with participant lenders in our revolving credit facility.

Our business faces the challenge of natural production declines. As initial reservoir pressures are depleted, oil production from a given well or formation decreases. Although our waterflood operations tend to restore reservoir pressure and production, once a waterflood is fully effected, production, once again, begins to decline. Our future growth will depend on our ability to continue to add reserves in excess of our production. Our focus on adding reserves is primarily through improving the economics of producing oil from our existing fields and, secondarily, through acquisitions and development of additional proved reserves. Our ability to add reserves through exploitation projects and acquisitions is dependent upon many factors, including our ability to raise capital, obtain regulatory approvals, procure contract drilling rigs and personnel, and successfully identify and close acquisitions.

We focus our efforts on increasing oil and natural gas reserves and production while controlling costs at a level that is appropriate for long-term operations. Our future cash flows from operations are impacted by our ability to manage our overall cost structure.

How We Evaluate Our Operations

Our primary business objective is to manage our oil and natural gas properties for the purpose of generating stable cash flows, which will provide stability and, over time, growth of distributions to our unitholders. The amount of cash that we can distribute to our unitholders depends principally on the cash we generate from our operations, which will fluctuate from quarter to quarter based on, among other factors:

20

• the amount of oil and natural gas we produce;

• the prices at which we sell our oil and natural gas production;

• our ability to hedge commodity prices; and

• the level of our operating and administrative costs.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2015 Compared with the Three Months Ended June 30, 2014

We reported a net loss of approximately $7.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015, compared to a net income of approximately $3.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014, a decrease of approximately $11.8 million. The change was primarily attributable to lower oil sales prices, higher depreciation, depletion and amortization ("DD&A") expense, higher lease operating expenses and the unfavorable net effect of our derivatives for the three months ended June 30, 2015.

Sales Revenues. Revenues from oil and natural gas sales for the three months ended June 30, 2015, were approximately $21.6 million compared to approximately $24.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014. Despite the year over year production growth resulting from incremental volumes from acquisitions of properties in 2014, revenues were negatively affected by lower oil and gas prices driven by market conditions. In the second quarter of 2015, the NYMEX WTI spot price averaged approximately $58 per barrel, compared with approximately $103 per barrel in the second quarter of 2014. During the three months ended June 30, 2015, the NYMEX WTI spot price ranged from a low of approximately $49 per barrel to a high of approximately $61 per barrel. Our average sales price per barrel of oil, excluding commodity derivative contracts, for the three months ended June 30, 2015 was approximately $53.51, compared to approximately $98.84 for the three months ended June 30, 2014.

On average, our production volumes for the three months ended June 30, 2015, were approximately 420 MBoe, or approximately 4,615 Boe per day on average. In comparison, our total production volumes for the three months ended June 30, 2014, were approximately 248 MBoe, or approximately 2,725 Boe per day on average. The increase in production volumes was primarily due to acquisitions of additional oil properties in 2014 and drilling and recompletion efforts in our Northeastern Oklahoma and Permian core areas.

Effects of Commodity Derivative Contracts. We utilize NYMEX contracts to hedge against changes in commodity prices. To the extent the future commodity price outlook declines between measurement periods, we will have gains on our unsettled derivatives. To the extent future commodity price outlook increases between measurement periods, we will have losses on our unsettled derivatives. During the three months ended June 30, 2015, we recorded a net loss of approximately $8.9 million which was composed of approximately $11.3 million non-cash loss on changes in fair value of unsettled derivative contracts and approximately a $2.4 million gain on net cash settlements of derivative contracts. For the three months ended June 30, 2014, we recorded a net loss from our commodity hedging instruments of approximately $4.9 million, which was composed of approximately $2.1 million loss on net cash settlements of derivative contracts and approximately $2.8 million non-cash loss on on changes in fair value of unsettled derivative contracts.

Lease Operating Expenses. Our lease operating expenses were approximately $7.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015, or approximately $18.14 per Boe, compared to approximately $6.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014, or approximately $26.60 per Boe. The increase in total lease operating expenses over the prior year’s quarter was primarily attributable to the acquisitions of additional oil properties in 2014 and the additional number of producing wells resulting from our drilling and recompletion programs. The decrease in average costs per Boe reflects lower costs of operations in our Hugoton, Southern Oklahoma and Northeastern Oklahoma core areas including lower workover costs of approximately $0.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015. Also, the Texas properties acquired in November 2014 have a lower lease operating expense per Boe compared to our legacy properties.

Production Taxes. Production taxes are calculated as a percentage of our oil and natural gas sales revenues and exclude the effects of our commodity derivative contracts. For the three months ended June 30, 2015, our production taxes were approximately $1.3 million, or approximately $3.14 per Boe for an effective tax rate of approximately 6.1%, compared to approximately $1.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014, or approximately $6.02 per Boe for an effective tax rate of approximately 6.1%. The decrease in production taxes during the three months ended June 30, 2015 was directly related to lower oil and natural gas revenues driven by lower prices. The decrease in price per Boe is primarily attributable to the 2014 acquisitions of properties in Texas that have a lower production tax rate as compared to our legacy properties in Oklahoma.

Depreciation, Depletion and Amortization Expenses. Our depreciation, depletion and amortization expenses (“DD&A”) on producing properties for the three months ended June 30, 2015, were approximately $8.2 million, or approximately $19.50 per Boe produced, compared to approximately $4.7 million, or approximately $18.84 per Boe produced, for the three months ended June 30, 2014. The increase in DD&A was primarily due to the increase in the total asset value of our oil and natural gas properties resulting from the acquisitions of additional oil properties in 2014. The increase in DD&A per Boe was due to higher depletion rates in some of the oil and gas properties acquired in 2014.

General and Administrative Expenses. Our general and administrative expenses ("G&A") were approximately $1.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015, or approximately $3.90 per Boe produced, compared to approximately $1.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014, or approximately $6.96 per Boe produced. The slight decrease in general and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2015 was primarily due to lower non-recurring legal

23

and professional service costs which were necessary in 2014 to comply with public reporting filings associated with our acquisitions of oil and gas properties. G&A included non-cash equity based compensation of approximately $0.4 million and approximately $0.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

Interest Expense. Our interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2015, was approximately $1.8 million, compared to approximately $1.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014. The increase in interest expense during the three months ended June 30, 2015 was attributable to the higher borrowings outstanding from our revolving credit facility resulting from acquisitions of oil properties in November 2014.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2015 Compared with the Six Months Ended June 30, 2014

We reported a net loss of approximately $12.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015, compared to a net income of approximately $5.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014, a decrease of approximately $17.5 million. This decrease primarily reflects the negative impact of lower oil and gas prices along with higher depreciation, depletion and amortization ("DD&A") expense, higher lease operating expenses, and higher interest expense, partially offset by lower general and administrative expenses during the six months ended June 30, 2015.

Sales Revenues. Revenues from oil and natural gas sales for the six months ended June 30, 2015, were approximately $39.2 million as compared to approximately $46.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014. Despite the year over year production growth resulting from incremental volumes from acquisitions of properties in 2014, revenues were negatively affected by lower oil and gas prices. For the first six months of 2015, the NYMEX WTI spot price averaged approximately $53 per barrel, compared with approximately $101 per barrel in the same period of 2014. In 2015, the NYMEX WTI spot price ranged from a low of approximately $43 per barrel to a high of approximately $61 per barrel. Our average sales price per barrel of oil, excluding commodity derivative contracts, for the six months ended June 30, 2015 was $48.91, compared with $96.13 for the six months ended June 30, 2014.

Our production volumes for the six months ended June 30, 2015 were approximately 832 MBoe, or approximately 4,597 Boe per day. In comparison, our total production volumes for the six months ended June 30, 2014, were approximately 484 MBoe, or approximately 2,674 Boe per day. The increase in production volumes was primarily due to acquisitions of additional oil properties in 2014 and drilling and recompletion efforts in our Northeastern Oklahoma and Permian core areas. Our legacy assets' production decreased due to natural declines and converting some producers to injectors but was offset by the production from the acquisitions of oil properties.

Effects of Commodity Derivative Contracts. We utilize NYMEX contracts to hedge against changes in commodity prices. To the extent the future commodity price outlook declines between measurement periods, we will have gains on our unsettled derivatives. To the extent future commodity price outlook increases between measurement periods, we will have losses on our unsettled derivatives. During the six months ended June 30, 2015, we recorded a net loss of approximately $7.2 million which was composed of approximately $25.5 million non-cash loss on changes in fair value of unsettled derivative contracts and approximately $18.3 million gain on net cash settlements of derivative contracts. The latter consists of approximately $11.1 million for the early termination of our contracts in place and approximately $7.2 million from settled derivatives in place during the six months ended June 30, 2015. The unrealized loss of approximately $25.5 million included the $11.1 million gain from early termination of the contracts and the $3.6 million gain upon settlements in January 2015 for contracts that were not early terminated or modified, both of which were previously recognized in the results of operations during the year ended December 31, 2014. For the six months ended June 30, 2014, we recorded a net loss from our commodity hedging instruments of approximately $6.9 million, which was composed of a loss of approximately $3.0 million on net cash settlements of derivative contracts and approximately $3.9 million non-cash loss on changes in fair value of unsettled derivative contracts.

Lease Operating Expenses. Our lease operating expenses were approximately $16.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015, or approximately $19.87 per Boe, compared to approximately $11.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014, or approximately $23.32 per Boe. The increase in total lease operating expenses was primarily attributable to the acquisition of additional oil properties in 2014 and the additional number of producing wells resulting from our drilling and recompletion programs. The decrease in average costs per Boe reflects lower costs of operations in our Hugoton, Northeastern Oklahoma and Southern Oklahoma areas during the first six months of 2015 including lower workover costs of approximately $0.3 million. Also, the Texas properties acquired in November 2014 have a lower lease operating expense per Boe compared to our legacy properties.

Production Taxes. Production taxes are calculated as a percentage of our oil and natural gas sales revenues and exclude the effects of our commodity derivative contracts. For the six months ended June 30, 2015, our production taxes were approximately $2.4 million, or approximately $2.92 per Boe for an effective tax rate of approximately 6.2%, compared to

24

approximately $2.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014, or approximately $5.89 per Boe for an effective tax rate of approximately 6.2%. The decrease in production taxes during the six months ended June 30, 2015 was directly related to lower oil and natural gas revenues driven by lower prices. The decrease in price per Boe is primarily attributable to the 2014 acquisitions of properties in Texas that have a lower production tax rate as compared to our legacy properties in Oklahoma.

Depreciation, Depletion and Amortization Expenses. Our DD&A on producing properties for the six months ended June 30, 2015, was approximately $16.0 million, or approximately $19.28 per Boe produced, compared to approximately $8.3 million, or approximately $17.22 per Boe produced, for the six months ended June 30, 2014. The increase in DD&A was primarily due to the increase in the total asset value of our oil and natural gas properties due to the acquisitions of additional oil properties in 2014. The increase in DD&A per Boe was due to higher depletion rates in some of the oil and gas properties acquired in 2014.

General and Administrative Expenses. Our general and administrative expenses were approximately $5.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015, or approximately $6.34 per Boe produced, compared to approximately $9.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 or approximately $19.33 per Boe produced. The overall decrease in general and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2015 was attributed to lower compensation costs related to our non-cash equity-based compensation plan resulting principally from the lower price of our common units, and lower legal and professional services which were necessary in 2014 to comply with public reporting filings associated with our acquisitions during the six months ended June 30, 2014. Non-cash equity-based compensation was approximately $2.3 million and approximately $5.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

Interest Expense. Our interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2015 was approximately $3.6 million, compared to approximately $1.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014. The increase in interest expense during the six months ended June 30, 2015 is attributed to the higher borrowings outstanding from our revolving credit facility resulting from acquisitions of oil properties in November 2014.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our ability to finance our operations, including funding capital expenditures and acquisitions, to meet our indebtedness obligations, to refinance our indebtedness or to meet our collateral requirements will depend on our ability to generate cash in the future. Our ability to generate cash is subject to a number of factors, some of which are beyond our control, including weather, commodity prices, particularly for oil and natural gas, and our ongoing efforts to manage operating costs and maintenance capital expenditures, as well as general economic, financial, competitive, legislative, regulatory and other factors.

Crude oil prices have fallen to six-year lows, potentially impacting the way we conduct business. We have implemented

a number of adjustments to strengthen our financial position. In addition to restructuring our commodity derivative contracts during the first quarter of 2015 to provide greater oil price protection over a longer period of time, we are aggressively pursuing costs reductions in order to improve profitability.

Our liquidity position as of June 30, 2015, consisted of approximately $0.8 million of available cash, and $20.0 million of available borrowings under our revolving credit facility ($220.0 million borrowing base less $200.0 million of outstanding borrowings). Our borrowing base was revised downward from $240.0 million to $220.0 million upon the scheduled borrowing redetermination in April 2, 2015. Borrowings under the revolving credit facility may not exceed our current borrowing base of $220.0 million. The next scheduled borrowing base redetermination is expected to take place in October 2015.

Our primary use of capital has been for the acquisition and development of oil and natural gas properties. Our future success in growing reserves and production volumes will be highly dependent on the capital resources available and our success in drilling or acquiring additional reserves. As we pursue profitable reserves and production growth, we continually monitor our liquidity and the credit markets. Additionally, we continue to monitor events and circumstances surrounding each of the lenders in our revolving credit facility.

Cash Flow

Cash flow provided by (used in) each type of activity was as follows (in thousands):

	Six Months Ended   June 30,
	2015			2014
Operating activities	$	18,778		$	25,459
Investing activities	(8,629		)	(30,669		)
Financing activities	(12,592		)	5,616

Operating Activities. Net cash provided by operating activities was approximately $18.8 million and approximately $25.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The $6.7 million decrease from 2014 to 2015 was primarily attributable to decreased oil sales revenues due to lower oil prices combined with higher lease operating expenses and changes in working capital from 2014 to 2015.

Investing Activities. Net cash used in investing activities was approximately $8.6 million and approximately $30.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Cash used in investing activities during the three months ended June 30, 2015 included principally capital expenditures of approximately $8.6 million primarily for drilling and completion activities in our Northeastern Oklahoma and Permian properties. Cash used in investing activities during the three months ended June 30, 2014 included approximately $16.0 million and $14.7 million spent in capital expenditures and acquisition of oil properties and additional working interest, respectively.

Financing Activities. Our cash flows from financing activities consisted primarily of proceeds from and payments on our revolving credit facility and distributions to unitholders. Net cash used in financing activities was approximately $12.6 million which included net payments on our revolving credit facility of $5.0 million, cash distributions to unitholders of approximately $7.5 million and approximately $0.1 million of incremental offering costs from our November 2014 public offering. Net cash provided by financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2014 was approximately $5.6 million which included net proceeds from borrowings under our revolving credit facility of $27.0 million which were used to develop capital projects and to finance the acquisition of properties located in Cimarron, Love and Texas Counties, Oklahoma and Potter County, Texas, in February 2014 and additional working interests in Southern Oklahoma in May 2014. We also made cash distributions to our unitholders of approximately $21.3 million and incurred in a $0.1 million of debt issuance costs related to the redetermination of our borrowing capacity.

Capital Requirements

Our business requires continual investment to upgrade or enhance existing operations in order to increase and maintain our production and the size of our asset base. The primary purpose of growth capital is to acquire, develop and produce assets that allow us to increase our production levels and asset base. Given the current commodity pricing environment where oil prices are near a six year low, we have limited capital spending to include only the most attractive development projects with a more conservative approach than in prior years. We are actively pursuing the acquisition of oil and natural gas properties on accretive terms and accordingly, expect to be well positioned to capitalize on attractive acquisition opportunities in the current oil price environment. We have historically funded acquisitions through a combination of cash, available borrowing capacity under our current revolving credit facility and through the issuance of equity. We expect to finance any significant acquisition of oil and natural gas properties in 2015 through the issuance of equity, debt financing or borrowings under our revolving credit facility.

We currently expect capital spending for the remainder of 2015 for the development, growth and maintenance of our oil and natural gas properties to be approximately $6.2 million. We will consider adjustments to this capital program based on our assessment of additional development opportunities that are identified during the year and the cash available to invest in our development projects.

Revolving Credit Facility

We have a $250.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility that expires in November 2018. Borrowings under the revolving credit facility may not exceed our current borrowing base of $220.0 million as determined at April 2, 2015.

Borrowings under the facility are secured by liens on not less than 80% of our assets and the assets of our subsidiaries. We may use borrowings under the facility for acquiring and developing oil and natural gas properties, for working capital purposes, for general partnership purposes and for funding distributions to our unitholders. The remaining borrowing capacity under our revolving credit facility was approximately $20.0 million at June 30, 2015. The facility requires us and our

26

subsidiaries to maintain a leverage ratio of Consolidated Funded Indebtedness to Consolidated EBITDAX (as defined in the facility) of not more than 4.0 to 1.0, and a current ratio of not less than 1.0 to 1.0. We were in compliance with all of the facility’s financial covenants throughout the period ended June 30, 2015.

With the April 2, 2015 redetermination, our borrowing base was reduced to $220.0 million from $240.0 million. The next scheduled borrowing base redetermination is expected to take place in October 2015.

For additional information about our long-term debt, such as interest rates and covenants, please see “Item 1. Financial Statements” contained herein.

Derivative Contracts

At June 30, 2015, our open commodity derivative contracts were in a net asset position with a fair value of approximately $16.8 million. All of our commodity derivative contracts are with major financial institutions who are also participant lenders in our revolving credit facility. Should one of these financial counterparties not perform, we may not realize the benefit of some of our derivative instruments in the event of lower commodity prices and we could incur a loss. As of June 30, 2015, all of our counterparties had performed pursuant to their commodity derivative contracts.

See Note 4 to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements within this report for a discussion of our commodity derivative contracts.

Off–Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of June 30, 2015, we had no off–balance sheet arrangements.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which provides a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and will supersede most current revenue recognition guidance. The standard is effective for public entities for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is not permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact the pronouncement will have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. On April 1, 2015, the Financial Accounting Standard Board tentatively decided to defer the effective date of Accounting Standard Update No. 2014-09 by one year. As a result, public entities would apply the new revenue standard to annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and to interim periods within that reporting period, with early adoption permitted.

In February 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2015-02, Consolidation (Topic 810): Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis, which provides guidance on the consolidation evaluation for reporting organizations that are required to evaluate whether they should consolidate certain legal entities such as limited partnerships, limited liability corporations, and securitization structures (collateralized debt obligations, collateralized loan obligations, and mortgage-backed security transactions). In addition to reducing the number of consolidation models from four to two, the guidance simplifies and improves current guidance by placing more emphasis on risk of loss when determining a controlling financial interest and reducing the frequency of the application of related-party guidance when determining a controlling financial interest in a VIE. The standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015, including interim periods within that reporting period, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the effect, if any, that this new guidance will have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In April 2015, the Financial Accounting Board issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2015-03, Interest: Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs. The update requires debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the related debt liability instead of being presented as an asset. Debt disclosures will include the face amount of the debt liability and the effective interest rate. The update requires retrospective application and represents a change in accounting principle. The update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact the pronouncement will have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We are exposed to a variety of market risks including commodity price risk, interest rate risk and credit risk. The primary objective of the following information is to provide quantitative and qualitative information about our potential exposure to market risks. The term “market risk” refers to the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in oil and natural gas prices and interest rates. The disclosures are not meant to be precise indicators of expected future losses, but rather indicators of reasonably possible losses. All of our market risk sensitive instruments were entered into for purposes other than speculative trading.

The following should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this Form10-Q and in our Annual Report.

Commodity Price Risk

Our primary market risk exposure is the pricing we receive for our oil and natural gas production. Historically, energy prices have exhibited, and are generally expected to continue to exhibit some of the highest volatility levels observed within the commodity and financial markets. The prices we receive for our oil and natural gas production depend on many factors outside of our control, such as the strength of the global economy and changes in supply and demand.

The objective of our risk management program is to achieve more predictable cash flows by reducing our exposure to short-term fluctuations in the prices of oil and natural gas. We believe this strategy will protect our ability to make current distributions and, by retaining some opportunity to participate in upward price movements, may also enhance our position to increase distributions in the future. To this end, we utilize commodity derivatives-namely swaps, calls and puts-to manage a portion of our exposure to commodity prices and specific delivery points. The commodity derivative contracts that we have entered into generally have the effect of providing us with a fixed price for a portion of our expected future oil and natural gas production over a fixed period of time. We enter into commodity derivative contracts and/or modify our portfolio of existing commodity derivative contracts when we believe market conditions or other circumstances suggest that it is prudent to do so.

Our commodity derivative contracts expose us to credit risk in the event of nonperformance by counterparties. While we do not require our counterparties to our derivative contracts to post collateral, it is our policy to enter into derivative contracts only with counterparties that are major, creditworthy financial institutions deemed by management as competent and competitive market makers. We evaluate the credit standing of such counterparties by reviewing their credit ratings. The counterparties to our commodity derivative contracts currently in place are lenders under our revolving credit facility and have investment grade ratings. We expect to enter into future derivative contracts with these or other lenders under our revolving credit facility whom we expect will also carry investment grade ratings.

Our commodity price risk management activities could have the effect of reducing net income and the value of our securities. The fair value of our oil commodity contracts at June 30, 2015, was a net asset of approximately $16.8 million. A 10% change in oil prices with all other factors held constant would result in a change in the fair value (generally correlated to our estimated future net cash flows from such instruments) of our oil commodity contracts of approximately $6.5 million. Please see “Item 1. Financial Statements” contained herein for additional information.

Interest Rate Risk

Our exposure to changes in interest rates relates primarily to debt obligations. At June 30, 2015, we had debt outstanding of $200.0 million, with an effective interest rate of approximately 2.8%. Assuming no change in the amount outstanding, the impact on interest expense of a 10% increase or decrease in the average interest rate would be approximately $0.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015. Our revolving credit facility allows borrowings up to $220.0 million at an interest rate ranging from LIBOR plus a margin ranging from 1.75% to 2.75% or the prime rate plus a margin ranging from 0.75% to 1.75%, depending on the amount borrowed. The prime rate will be the United States prime rate as announced from time-to-time by the Royal Bank of Canada. Please see “Item 1. Financial Statements” contained herein for additional information.

Counterparty and Customer Credit Risk

We are subject to credit risk due to the concentration of our revenues attributable to a small number of customers for our current 2015 production. The inability or failure of any of our customers to meet its obligations to us or its insolvency or liquidation may adversely affect our financial results. However, our current purchasers have positive payment histories.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As required by Rule 13a-15(b) of the Exchange Act, we have evaluated, under the supervision and with the participation of our chief executive officer (principal executive officer) and chief financial officer (principal financial officer), the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of June 30, 2015. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we filed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure and is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC. Based on this evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this Form 10-Q.

Changes in Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our system of internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and Rule 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the quarterly period ended June 30, 2015, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

In the course of our ongoing preparations for making management’s report on internal control over financial reporting as required by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, from time to time we have identified areas in need of improvement and have taken remedial actions to strengthen the affected controls as appropriate. We make these and other changes to enhance the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting, which do not have a material effect on our overall internal control over financial reporting.

Unless and until an Equity-Settled Phantom Unit vests, the Participant will have no right to payment in respect of such Equity-Settled Phantom Unit.

(ii)Disability or Termination due to Death. If, at any time prior to the final Vesting Date set forth in the Grant Notice, above, the Participant suffers a Disability or the Participant’s employment with the Partnership Entities or membership on the Board, as applicable, is terminated by reason of the Participant’s death, then all Equity-Settled Phantom Units granted pursuant to this Agreement that remain outstanding and unvested as of the date of the Participant’s Disability or such termination due to death shall immediately become fully vested and nonforfeitable as of the date of such Disability or termination. For purposes of this Agreement, “Disability” means (i) the inability of the Participant to engage in any substantial gainful activity by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment that can be expected to result in death or can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than twelve (12) months or (ii) the receipt of income replacements by the Participant, by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment that can be expected to result in death or can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than twelve (12) months, for a period of not less than three (3) months under the Company’s or an applicable affiliate’s accident and health plan.

4.Payment of Equity-Settled Phantom Units.

(a)Equity-Settled Phantom Units. Unpaid Vested Equity-Settled Phantom Units shall be paid to the Participant in the form of Units in a lump-sum as soon as reasonably practical after the applicable Vesting Date, but not later than sixty (60) days following such Vesting Date. Payments of any Phantom Units that vest in accordance herewith shall be made to the Participant (or in the event of the Participant’s death, to the Participant’s estate) in whole Units in accordance with this Section 4.

(b)Potential Delay. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, no amounts payable under this Agreement shall be paid to the Participant prior to the expiration of the six (6)-month period following his “separation from service” (within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(h)) (a “Separation from Service”) to the extent that the Company determines that paying such amounts prior to the expiration of such six (6)-month period would result in a prohibited distribution under Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code. If the payment of any such amounts is delayed as a result of the previous sentence, then on the first business day following the end of the applicable six (6)-month period (or such earlier date upon which such amounts can be paid under Section 409A of the Code without resulting in a prohibited distribution, including as a result of the Participant’s death), such amounts shall be paid to the Participant.

5.Tax Withholding. The Company and/or its Affiliates shall have the authority and the right to deduct or withhold, or to require the Participant to remit to the Company and/or its Affiliates, an amount sufficient to satisfy all applicable federal, state and local taxes (including the Participant’s employment tax obligations) required by law to be withheld with respect to any taxable event arising in connection with the Equity-Settled Phantom Units. In satisfaction of the foregoing requirement, unless otherwise determined by the Committee, the Company and/or its Affiliates shall withhold Units otherwise issuable in respect of such Equity-Settled Phantom Units having a Fair Market Value equal to the sums required to be withheld. In the event that Units that would otherwise be issued in payment of the Equity-Settled Phantom Units are used to satisfy such withholding obligations, the number of Units which shall be so withheld shall be limited to the number of Units which have a Fair Market Value (which, in the case of a broker-assisted transaction, shall be determined by the Committee, consistent with applicable provisions of the Code) on the date of withholding equal to the aggregate amount of such liabilities based on the minimum statutory withholding rates for federal, state, local and foreign income tax and payroll tax purposes that are applicable to such supplemental taxable income.

6.Rights as Unit Holder. Neither the Participant nor any person claiming under or through the Participant shall have any of the rights or privileges of a holder of Units in respect of any Units that may become deliverable hereunder unless and until, following vesting of the applicable Equity-Settled Phantom Units, certificates representing such Units shall have been issued or recorded in book entry form on the records of the Partnership or its transfer agents or registrars, and delivered in certificate or book entry form to the Participant or any person claiming under or through the Participant.

7.Non-Transferability. Neither the Equity-Settled Phantom Units nor any right of the Participant under the Equity-Settled Phantom Units may be assigned, alienated, pledged, attached, sold or otherwise transferred or encumbered by the Participant (or any permitted transferee) other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution and any such purported assignment, alienation, pledge, attachment, sale, transfer or encumbrance shall be void and unenforceable against the Company, the Partnership and any of their Affiliates.

8.Distribution of Units. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee or required by any applicable law, rule or regulation, following the vesting of Equity-Settled Phantom Units, neither the Company nor the Partnership shall deliver to the Participant certificates evidencing Units issued pursuant to this Agreement and instead such Units shall be recorded in the books of the Partnership (or, as applicable, its transfer agent or equity plan administrator). All certificates for Units issued pursuant to this Agreement and all Units issued pursuant to book entry procedures hereunder shall be subject to such stop transfer orders and other restrictions as the Company may deem advisable under the Program or the rules, regulations, and other requirements of the SEC, any stock exchange upon which such Units are then listed, and any applicable federal or state laws, and the Company may cause a legend or legends to be inscribed on any such certificates or book entry to make appropriate reference to such restrictions. In addition to the terms and conditions provided herein, the Company may require that the Participant make such covenants, agreements, and representations as the Company, in its sole discretion, deems advisable in order to comply with any such laws, regulations, or requirements.

9.Partnership Agreement. Units issued upon payment of the Vested Equity-Settled Phantom Units shall be subject to the terms of the Program and the Partnership Agreement. Upon the issuance of Units to the Participant, the Participant shall, automatically and without further action on his or her part, (i) be admitted to the Partnership as a Limited Partner (as defined in the Partnership Agreement) with respect to the Units, and (ii) become bound, and be deemed to have agreed to be bound, by the terms of the Partnership Agreement.

10.No Effect on Service. Nothing in this Agreement or in the Program shall be construed as giving the Participant the right to be retained in the employ or service of the Company or any Affiliate thereof. Furthermore, the Company and its Affiliates may at any time dismiss the Participant from employment or consulting free from any liability or any claim under the Program or this Agreement, unless otherwise expressly provided in the Program, this Agreement or any other written agreement between the Participant and the Company or an Affiliate thereof.

11.Severablility. If any provision of this Agreement is or becomes or is deemed to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such provision shall be construed or deemed amended to conform to the applicable law or, if it cannot be construed or deemed amended without, in the determination of the Committee, materially altering the intent of this Agreement, such provision shall be stricken as to such jurisdiction, and the remainder of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.

12.Tax Consultation. None of the Board, the Committee, the Company nor the Partnership has made any warranty or representation to Participant with respect to the tax consequences of the issuance, holding or vesting of the Equity-Settled Phantom Units, the issuance of any Units upon vesting of the Equity-Settled Phantom Units or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and the Participant represents that he or she is in no manner relying on such entities or their representatives for tax advice or an assessment of such tax consequences. The Participant understands that the Participant may suffer adverse tax consequences in connection with the Equity-Settled Phantom Units granted pursuant to this Agreement. The Participant represents that the Participant has consulted with any tax consultants that the Participant deems advisable in connection with the Equity-Settled Phantom Units.

13.Amendments, Suspension and Termination. To the extent permitted by the Program, this Agreement may be wholly or partially amended or otherwise modified, suspended or terminated at any time or from time to time by the Board or the Committee. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, this Agreement cannot be modified, altered or amended, except by an agreement, in writing, signed by both the Partnership and the Participant.

14.Lock-Up Agreement. The Participant shall agree, if so requested by the Company or the Partnership and any underwriter in connection with any public offering of securities of the Partnership or any Affiliate thereof, not to directly or indirectly offer, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant for the sale of or otherwise dispose of or transfer any Units held by him or her for such period, not to exceed one hundred eighty (180) days following the effective date of the relevant registration statement filed under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (the “Securities Act”) in connection with such public offering, as such underwriter shall specify reasonably and in good faith. The Company or the Partnership may impose stop-transfer instructions with respect to securities subject to the foregoing restrictions until the end of such 180-day period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the 180-day period may be extended in the discretion of the Company for up to such number of additional days as is deemed necessary by such underwriter or the Company or Partnership to continue coverage by research analysts in accordance with FINRA Rule 2711 or any successor or other applicable rule.

15.Conformity to Securities Laws. The Participant acknowledges that the Program and this Agreement are intended to conform to the extent necessary with all provisions of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, any and all regulations and rules promulgated by the SEC thereunder, and all applicable state securities laws and regulations. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Program shall be administered, and the Phantom Units are granted, only in such a manner as to conform to such laws, rules and regulations. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Program and this Agreement shall be deemed amended to the extent necessary to conform to such laws, rules and regulations.

16.Code Section 409A. This Agreement and the Equity-Settled Phantom Units granted hereunder are intended to comply with Section 409A of the Code or an exemption thereunder and shall be construed and interpreted in a manner that is consistent with such intent. Nevertheless, to the extent that the Committee determines that the Equity-Settled Phantom Units may not be exempt from (or compliant with) Section 409A of the Code, the Committee may (but shall not be required to) amend this Agreement in a manner intended to comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code or an exemption therefrom (including amendments with retroactive effect), or take any other actions as it deems necessary or appropriate to attempt to (a) exempt the Equity-Settled Phantom Units from Section 409A of the Code and/or preserve the intended tax treatment of the benefits provided with respect to the Equity-Settled Phantom Units, or (b) comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, to the extent that any payment or benefit hereunder constitutes non-exempt “nonqualified deferred compensation” for purposes of Section 409A of the Code, and such payment or benefit would otherwise be payable or distributable hereunder by reason of the Participant’s cessation of Service, all references to the Participant’s cessation of Service shall be construed to mean a Separation from Service, and the Participant shall not be considered to have a cessation of Service unless such cessation constitutes a Separation from Service with respect to the Participant.

17.Adjustments; Clawback. The Participant acknowledges that the Equity-Settled Phantom Units are subject to modification and forfeiture in certain events as provided in this Agreement and Section 7 of the Program. The Participant further acknowledges that the Equity-Settled Phantom Units and Units issuable hereunder, whether vested or unvested and whether or not previously issued, are subject to clawback as provided in Section 8(o) of the Program.

18.Successors and Assigns. The Company or the Partnership may assign any of its rights under this Agreement to single or multiple assignees, and this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of the Company and the Partnership. Subject to the restrictions on transfer contained herein, this Agreement shall be binding upon the Participant and his or her heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns.

19.Governing Law. The validity, construction, and effect of this Agreement and any rules and regulations relating to this Agreement shall be determined in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware without regard to its conflicts of laws principles.

20.Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement of the parties with regard to this subject matter hereof, and contains all the covenants, promises, representations, warranties and agreements between the parties with respect to the Equity-Settled Phantom Units granted hereby. Without limiting the scope of the preceding sentence, all prior understandings and agreements, if any, among the parties hereto relating to the subject matter hereof are hereby null and void and of no further force and effect.

21.Headings. Headings are given to the sections and subsections of this Agreement solely as a convenience to facilitate reference. Such headings shall not be deemed in any way material or relevant to the construction or interpretation of this Agreement or any provision hereof.

22.Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which together will constitute one and the same instrument. Counterpart signature pages to this Agreement transmitted by facsimile transmission, by electronic mail in portable document format (.pdf), or by any other electronic means intended to preserve the original graphic and pictorial appearance of a document, will have the same effect as physical delivery of the paper document bearing an original signature.

Equity Awards

Equity Awards

We have a long-term incentive program (the “Long-Term Incentive Program”) for employees, officers, consultants and directors of our general partner and its affiliates, including Mid-Con Energy Operating, LLC (“Mid-Con Energy Operating”), who perform services for us. The Long-Term Incentive Program allows for the award of unit options, unit appreciation rights, unrestricted units, restricted units, phantom units, distribution equivalent rights granted with phantom units, and other types of awards, and it is administered by the members of our general partner (the "Founders") and approved by the Board of Directors of the general partner. The Long-Term Incentive Program permits the grant of awards covering an aggregate of 1,764,000 units under the Form S-8 we filed with the SEC on January 25, 2012. If an employee terminates employment prior to the restriction lapse date, the awarded units are forfeited and canceled and are no longer considered issued and outstanding. The following table shows the number of existing awards and awards available under the Long-Term Incentive Program at June 30, 2015:

	Number of Common Units
Approved and authorized awards	1,764,000
Unrestricted units granted	(1,040,824	)
Restricted units granted, net of forfeitures	(460,321	)
Phantom units issued, net of forfeitures	(22,166	)
Awards available for future grant	240,689

We account for restricted units as equity awards since these awards will be settled by issuing common units. These restricted units generally vest over a three-year period and we assume a 10% forfeiture rate. A summary of our restricted units awarded for the six months ended June 30, 2015 is presented below:

Restricted awards:	Number of Restricted Units		Average Grant Date Fair Value per Unit
Outstanding at December 31, 2014	109,800		$23.28
Units granted	294,100		$5.42
Units vested	(119,070	)	$9.69
Units forfeited	(6,408	)	$18.50
Outstanding at June 30, 2015	278,422		$10.34

As of June 30, 2015, there was approximately $1.7 million of unrecognized compensation costs related to non-vested restricted units. The cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 1.5 years.

During the six months ended June 30, 2015, we granted 202,000 unrestricted and 268,000 restricted common units with one-third vesting immediately and the other two-thirds vesting over two-years, and 26,100 restricted common units with a three-year vesting period.

We recognized $0.4 million and $2.4 million of total equity-based compensation expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, respectively, and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 we recognized $0.3 million and $6.0 million of total equity-based compensation expense, respectively. These costs are reported as a component of general and administrative expense in our unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations.

Basis of Presentation

Our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. These financial statements have not been audited by our independent registered public accounting firm, except that the condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2014 is derived from the audited financial statements.  Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") have been condensed or omitted in this Form 10-Q. We believe that the presentations and disclosures herein are adequate to make the information not misleading. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the interim periods. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the full year. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014.

All intercompany transactions and account balances have been eliminated.

Reclassifications

The condensed consolidated financial statements for previous periods include certain reclassifications to the derivative accounts that were made to conform to current presentation. Such reclassifications have no impact on previously reported total assets, net income (loss) or total operating cash flows.

Accounting Changes and Error Corrections [Abstract]

New Accounting Standards

New Accounting Standards

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which provides a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and will supersede most current revenue recognition guidance. The standard is effective for public entities for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is not permitted. On April 1, 2015, the Financial Accounting Standard Board tentatively decided to defer the effective date of Accounting Standard Update No. 2014-09 by one year. As a result, public entities would apply the new revenue standard to annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and to interim periods within that reporting period, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact the pronouncement will have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In February 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2015-02, Consolidation (Topic 810): Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis, which provides guidance on the consolidation evaluation for reporting organizations that are required to evaluate whether they should consolidate certain legal entities such as limited partnerships, limited liability corporations, and securitization structures (collateralized debt obligations, collateralized loan obligations, and mortgage-backed security transactions). In addition to reducing the number of consolidation models from four to two, the guidance simplifies and improves current guidance by placing more emphasis on risk of loss when determining a controlling financial interest and reducing the frequency of the application of related-party guidance when determining a controlling financial interest in a VIE. The standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015, including interim periods within that reporting period, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the effect, if any, that this new guidance will have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In April 2015, the Financial Accounting Board issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2015-03, Interest: Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs. The update requires debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the related debt liability instead of being presented as an asset. Debt disclosures will include the face amount of the debt liability and the effective interest rate. The update requires retrospective application and represents a change in accounting principle. The update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact the pronouncement will have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Distributions

On July 22, 2015, the Board of Directors of our general partner approved a quarterly cash distribution for the second quarter of 2015 of $0.125 per unit, or $0.50 on an annualized basis, which will be paid on August 13, 2015, to unitholders of record at the close of business on August 6, 2015. The aggregate amount of the distribution will be approximately $3.8 million.

Also on July 22, 2015, the Board of Directors of our general partner authorized the issuance of 54,551 unrestricted common units, 69,000 equity-settled phantom units with one-third vesting immediately and the other two thirds vesting over two-years, and 46,500 equity-settled phantom units with a three-year vesting period. The equity-settled phantom units do not have any rights or privileges of a unit holder, including right to distributions, until vesting and the resulting conversion into common units. These units were granted to certain employees of our affiliates and certain directors and founders of our general partner.

Asset Retirement Obligation Disclosure [Abstract]

Asset Retirement Obligations

Asset Retirement Obligations

Our asset retirement obligations ("ARO") represent the estimated present value of the amount we will incur to plug, abandon and remediate our oil and natural gas properties at the end of their production lives, in accordance with applicable state laws. We determine our ARO by calculating the present value of estimated cash flow related to the liability. Each year we review and to the extent necessary, revise our ARO estimates.

AROs are recorded as a liability at their estimated present value at the various assets’ inception, with the offsetting charge to oil and natural gas properties. Periodic accretion of the discounted estimated liability is recorded in our unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations. The discounted capitalized cost is amortized to expense through the depreciation calculation over the life of the assets based on proved developed reserves.

Changes in our ARO for the periods indicated are presented in the following table:

	Six Months Ended   June 30, 2015		Year Ended    December 31, 2014
	(in thousands)
Asset retirement obligation - beginning of period	$	7,363	$	3,942

Asset retirement obligation - end of period	$	7,614	$	7,363

As of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, all of our ARO were classified as long-term and were reported as “Asset Retirement Obligations” in our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Fair Value Disclosures

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]

Fair Value Disclosures

 Fair Value Disclosures

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying amounts reported in our balance sheet for cash, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate their fair values. The carrying amount of long-term debt under our revolving credit facility approximates fair value because the revolving credit facility’s variable interest rate resets frequently and approximates current market rates available to us.

We account for our derivative financial instruments at fair value. The fair value of our derivative financial instruments is determined utilizing NYMEX closing prices for the contract period.

Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is the price that would be received upon the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. GAAP establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy that is intended to increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements and related disclosures. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3).

Our assets and liabilities recorded in the balance sheet are categorized based on the inputs to the valuation technique as follows:

Level 1—Financial assets and liabilities for which values are based on unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in an active market that management has the ability to access.

Level 2—Financial assets and liabilities for which values are based on quoted prices in markets that are not active or model inputs that are observable either directly or indirectly for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.

Level 3—Financial assets and liabilities for which values are based on prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement. These inputs reflect management’s own assumptions about the assumptions a market participant would use in pricing the asset or liability.

When the inputs used to measure fair value fall within different levels of the hierarchy in a liquid environment, the level within which the fair value measurement is categorized is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. Changes in the observability of valuation inputs may result in a reclassification for certain financial assets or liabilities.

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

We account for our commodity derivatives and their corresponding deferred premiums at fair value on a recurring basis. We use certain pricing models to determine the fair value of our derivative financial instruments. Inputs to the pricing models include publicly available prices from a compilation of data gathered from third parties and brokers. We validate the data provided by our counterparties and third-party providers by understanding the pricing models used, obtaining market values from other pricing sources, analyzing pricing data in certain situations and confirming that those securities trade in active markets. See Note 4 for a summary of our derivative financial instruments.

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis

We estimate the fair value of the asset retirement obligations based on discounted cash flow projections using numerous estimates, assumptions and judgments regarding such factors as the existence of a legal obligation for an asset retirement obligation; amounts and timing of settlements; the credit-adjusted risk-free rate to be used; and inflation rates. See Note 6 for a summary of changes in asset retirement obligations.

We review our long-lived assets to be held and used, including proved oil and natural gas properties, whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value of those assets may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is indicated if the sum of the expected undiscounted future net cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the assets. In this circumstance, we recognize an impairment loss for the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the estimated fair value of the asset. Estimating future cash flows involves the use of judgments, including estimation of the proved oil and natural gas reserve quantities, timing of development and production, expected future commodity prices, capital expenditures and production costs. There were no impairment charges for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014.

The following sets forth, by level within the hierarchy, the fair value of our assets and liabilities measured at fair value as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 (in thousands):

Equity

Common Units

At June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Partnership’s equity consisted of 29,655,804 and 29,166,112 common units, respectively, representing approximately a 98.8% limited partnership interest in us.

On May 5, 2015, we entered into an Equity Distribution Agreement (the “Agreement”) to sell, from time to time through or to the Managers (as defined in the Agreement), up to $50.0 million in common units representing limited partner interests (“Common Units”). The sales, if any, of Common Units made under the Agreement will be made by any method permitted by law deemed to be an "at-the-market-offering" as defined in Rule 415 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), including without limitation, sales made directly on the NASDAQ Global Select Market, on any other existing trading market for our common units or to or through a market maker. We intend to use the net proceeds of any sales pursuant to the Equity Distribution Agreement, after deducting the Managers’ commissions and offering expenses, for general purposes, which may include, among other things, repayment of indebtedness, future acquisitions, capital expenditures and additions to working capital. The Common Units to be issued are registered under a previously filed shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-195669), which was declared effective by the SEC on October 21, 2014. During the three months ended June 30, 2015, we did not sell any common units.

Cash Distributions

We intend to continue to make regular cash distributions to unitholders on a quarterly basis, although there is no assurance as to the future cash distributions since they are dependent upon future earnings, cash flows, capital requirements, financial condition and other factors. Our revolving credit facility prohibits us from making cash distributions if any potential default or event of default, as defined in our revolving credit facility, occurs or would result from the cash distribution.

Our partnership agreement requires us to distribute all of our available cash on a quarterly basis. Our available cash is our cash on hand at the end of a quarter after the payment of our expenses and the establishment of reserves for future capital expenditures and operational needs, including cash from working capital borrowings. Our cash distribution policy reflects a basic judgment that our unitholders will be better served by us distributing our available cash, after expenses and reserves, rather than retaining it.

The following sets forth the distributions we paid during the six months ended June 30, 2015 (in thousands, except per unit distribution):

Date Paid	Period Covered	Distribution per Unit	Total Distribution
February 13, 2015	October 1, 2014 - December 31, 2014	$0.125	$3,752
May 14, 2015	January 1, 2015 - March 31, 2015	$0.125	$3,752

On July 22, 2015, the Board of Directors of our general partner approved a quarterly cash distribution for the second quarter of 2015 of $0.125 per unit, or $0.50 per unit on an annualized basis, which will be paid on August 13, 2015, to unitholders of record at the close of business on August 6, 2015. The aggregate amount of the distribution will be approximately $3.8 million.

Allocation of Net Income

Net income is allocated between our general partner and the limited partner unitholders in proportion to their pro rata ownership during the period.

Debt Disclosure [Abstract]

Debt

Debt

As of June 30, 2015, our credit facility consists of a $250.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility that expires in November 2018. Borrowings under the revolving credit facility may not exceed our current borrowing base of $220.0 million as determined at April 2, 2015.

Borrowings under the facility are secured by liens on not less than 80% of our assets and the assets of our subsidiaries. We may use borrowings under the facility for acquiring and developing oil and natural gas properties, for working capital purposes, for general partnership purposes and for funding distributions to our unitholders. At June 30, 2015, we had $200.0 million of borrowings outstanding under the revolving credit facility. The facility requires us and our subsidiaries to maintain a leverage ratio of Consolidated Funded Indebtedness to Consolidated EBITDAX (as defined in the facility) of not more than 4.0 to 1.0, and a current ratio of not less than 1.0 to 1.0.

Borrowings under the revolving credit facility bear interest at a floating rate based on, at our election: (i) the greater of the prime rate of the Royal Bank of Canada, the federal funds effective rate plus 0.50%, or the one month adjusted London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus 1.0%, all of which are subject to a margin that varies from 0.75% to 1.75% per annum according to the borrowing base usage (which is the ratio of outstanding borrowings and letters of credit to the borrowing base then in effect), or (ii) the applicable LIBOR plus a margin that varies from 1.75% to 2.75% per annum according to the borrowing base usage. For the three months ended June 30, 2015, the average effective interest rate was approximately 2.95%. The unused portion of the borrowing base is subject to a commitment fee that varies from 0.375% to 0.50% per annum according to the borrowing base usage.

During February 2015, the revolving credit facility was amended to allow our EBITDAX calculation, as defined in section 7.13 of the original revolving credit agreement, to reflect the net cash flows attributable to the restructured commodity derivative contracts that occurred during January 2015 to be recognized in specific amounts for the periods of the first quarter 2015 through the third quarter of 2016.

With the April 2, 2015 redetermination, our borrowing base was reduced to $220.0 million from $240.0 million. No other material terms of the original credit agreement were amended. The next scheduled borrowing base redetermination is expected to take place in October 2015. The borrowing base is determined by the lenders based on the value of our proved oil and natural gas reserves using assumptions regarding future prices, costs and other matters that may vary. The borrowing base is subject to scheduled redeterminations on or about April 30th and October 31st of each year with an additional redetermination during the period between each scheduled borrowing base determination, either at our request or at the request of the lenders. An additional borrowing base redetermination may be made at the request of the lenders in connection with a material disposition of our properties or a material liquidation of a hedge contract.

The revolving credit facility includes customary affirmative and negative covenants, such as limitations on the creation of new indebtedness and on certain liens, restrictions on certain transactions and payments. If we fail to perform our obligations under these and other covenants, the revolving credit commitments may be terminated and any outstanding indebtedness under the credit agreement, together with accrued interest could be declared immediately due and payable. We were in compliance with all debt covenants throughout the period ended June 30, 2015.

Related Party Transactions

The following agreements were negotiated among affiliated parties and, consequently, are not the result of arm’s length negotiations. The following is a description of those agreements that have been entered into with the affiliates of our general partner and with our general partner.

Services Agreement

We are party to a services agreement with Mid-Con Energy Operating pursuant to which Mid-Con Energy Operating provides certain services to us, including management, administrative and operational services. The operational services include marketing, geological and engineering services. Under the services agreement, we reimburse Mid-Con Energy Operating, on a monthly basis, for the allocable expenses it incurs in its performance under the services agreement. These expenses include, among other things, salary, bonus, incentive compensation and other amounts paid to persons who perform services for us or on our behalf and other expenses allocated by Mid-Con Energy Operating to us. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, we reimbursed Mid-Con Energy Operating approximately $0.8 million and $1.7 million, for direct expenses, respectively. These costs are included in the general and administrative expenses in our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Other Transactions with Related Persons

We, various third parties with an ownership interest in the same property and our affiliate, Mid-Con Energy Operating, are party to standard oil and natural gas joint operating agreements, pursuant to which we and those third parties pay Mid-Con Energy Operating overhead charges associated with operating our properties (commonly referred to as the Council of Petroleum Accountants Societies, or COPAS, fee). We and those third parties will also pay Mid-Con Energy Operating for its direct and indirect expenses that are chargeable to the wells under their respective operating agreements.

During February and August 2014, we acquired from Mid-Con Energy III, LLC, an affiliated company, certain oil properties located in Oklahoma and Texas. The terms of the acquisitions were approved by the Conflicts Committee of the Board of Directors of the General Partner (the “Conflicts Committee”). The Conflicts Committee, which is composed entirely of independent directors, retained independent legal and financial counsel to assist it in evaluating and negotiating the purchase agreements and the acquisitions. The purchase agreements contained representations and warranties, covenants and indemnification provisions that are typical for transactions of this nature and that were made or agreed to, among other things, to provide the parties thereto with specified rights and obligations and to allocate risk among them. See Note 2 to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for more information regarding these acquisitions.

At June 30, 2015, we had payables to Mid-Con Energy Operating of approximately $1.2 million which was comprised of a joint interest billing payable of approximately $0.9 million and a payable for operating services of approximately $0.3 million. These amounts are included in the Accounts payable-related parties in our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]

Derivative Financial Instruments

Derivative Financial Instruments

The objective of our risk management program is to achieve more predictable cash flows by reducing our exposure to short-term fluctuations in the price of oil and natural gas.  We believe this strategy will protect our ability to make current distributions and, by retaining some opportunity to participate in upward price movements, may also enhance our position to increase distributions in the future.  To this end, we utilize financial derivatives-namely swaps, calls and puts-to manage a portion of our exposure to commodity prices and specific delivery points.  We enter into commodity derivative contracts and/or modify our portfolio of existing commodity derivative contracts when we believe market conditions or other circumstances suggest that it is prudent to do so. 

At June 30, 2015, our open positions consisted of crude oil price swaps and collars consisting of long puts and short calls with the same strike price. Under commodity swap agreements, we exchange a stream of payments over time according to specified terms with another counterparty. In a typical commodity swap agreement, we agree to pay an adjustable or floating price tied to an agreed upon index for the oil commodity and in return receive a fixed price based on notional quantities. With the collars having the same strike prices, they settle like a swap.

Each call transaction has an established fixed price. When the settlement price is above the fixed price, we pay the counterparty an amount equal to the difference between the settlement price and the fixed price multiplied by the contract volume. If the settlement price is below the fixed price, the call option expires.

Each put transaction has an established fixed price. The counterparty charges a premium in order to enter into the put transactions. These premiums are deferred and will be paid monthly as the contracts settle. If the floating price is below the floor price, we receive from the counterparty an amount equal to the difference multiplied by the contract volume net of the deferred premium we owe upon contract settlement. If the floating price exceeds the fixed price, the put option expires and we pay the deferred premium.

We have elected not to designate commodity derivative contracts as hedges for accounting purposes; therefore, the mark-to-market adjustment reflecting the change in the fair value of unsettled derivative contracts is recorded in current period earnings. When prices for oil are volatile, a significant portion of the effect of our hedging activities consists of non-cash gains or losses due to changes in the fair value of our commodity derivative contracts. Net settlement gains or losses on derivative contracts only arise from net payments made or received on monthly settlements or if a commodity derivative contract is terminated prior to its expiration. Pursuant to the accounting standard that permits netting of assets and liabilities where the right of offset exists, we present the fair value of derivative financial instruments on a net basis. At June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, we recorded the estimated fair value of the derivative contracts as a net asset of $16.8 million and $27.0 million, respectively.

As of June 30, 2015, we had the following oil derivative open positions:

Period Covered	Weighted Average Fixed Price	Weighted Average Floor Price		Weighted Average Ceiling Price		Total Bbls Hedged/day
Swaps - 2015	$90.63					2,446
Swaps - 2016	$84.11					1,434
Collars - 2015		$	50.00	$	50.00	489
Collars - 2016		$	50.00	$	50.00	1,107

During the first quarter of 2015, we restructured a significant portion of our existing oil derivatives that were in place at December 31, 2014. This resulted in the early settlement of certain contracts existing at December 31, 2014, and entering into new oil derivative contracts which extend through September 2016. In connection with the early termination and modifications of our commodity derivative contracts, we received net proceeds of approximately $11.1 million from the early termination of contracts at January 31, 2015, received approximately $5.9 million from selling calls and paid out approximately $19.8 million in premiums to extend the contracts through September 2016. The restructuring also resulted in approximately $4.1 million in deferred put options. As of June 30, 2015, we had paid $1.4 million of the deferred put premiums in connection with contract settlements.

Our oil derivative contracts expose us to credit risk in the event of nonperformance by counterparties. While we do not require our counterparties to our derivative contracts to post collateral, it is our policy to enter into derivative contracts only with counterparties that are major, creditworthy financial institutions deemed by management as competent and competitive market makers. We evaluate the credit standing of such counterparties by reviewing their credit rating. As of June 30, 2015, the counterparties to our derivative contracts currently in place are lenders under our revolving credit facility and have investment grade credit ratings.

The following tables summarizes the gross fair value by the appropriate balance sheet classification, even when the derivative instruments are subject to netting arrangements and qualify for net presentation in our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 (in thousands):
