Sendero Midstream Partners, LP
Notes to Unaudited Interim Consolidated Financial Statements
As of and for the six months ended June 30, 2022
1. Organization and Business
Sendero Midstream Partners, LP (Sendero or the Company), a Delaware limited partnership, was formed on April 23, 2014. Sendero is owned by entities that are wholly-owned by Energy Capital Partners III, LLC (ECP or the Partners) and, indirectly, by certain members of the management. Sendero was formed to own and operate midstream assets in North America.
Sendero owns and operates a 130,000 cubic feet (Mcf) per day cryogenic processing plant (Plant I), a 220,000 Mcf per day cryogenic plant (Plant II), a natural gas pipeline gathering system, and natural gas compression stations in Eddy County, New Mexico (the Carlsbad System). Plant I began operating in December 2017, and Plant II began operating in May 2020.
Sendero has entered into gas gathering, processing and purchase agreements with several producers in the Eddy County area (the GGPPAs). Sendero has also entered into agreements with downstream marketing and transportation companies for the sale and transportation of natural gas and NGL’s from the Carlsbad System (the Sales Agreements).
Under the terms of the GGPPAs, the producers have dedicated certain well pads or acreage to the Carlsbad System for the term of the respective GGPPA. The Company charges producers fixed fees for the gathering, compression and processing of the natural gas it receives from them, and, with certain producers, the Company retains a portion of the natural gas and NGL sales proceeds received under the Sales Agreements as additional fees.
The partners’ liability for Sendero’s liabilities and losses is limited to the assets of the Company. The partners shall not be required to make additional capital contributions, or have any personal liability, in respect to the liabilities or the obligations of Sendero.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements and condensed notes thereto of the Company as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2022 have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information. Accordingly, the condensed notes do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. However, management believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information not misleading. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for a full year due to the nature of the Company’s operations.
All adjustments (all of which are normal and recurring) have been made that are necessary to fairly state the financial position of the Company as of June 30, 2022, and the Company’s results of operations and cash flows for the six months then ended. Upon consolidation, all intercompany accounts and transactions among the consolidated entities are eliminated. The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements and condensed notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto presented in the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021.
