Description Of Business [Abstract]	'
Description of Business	'
	NOTE 1 - DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
	On February 21, 2012, U.S. Well Services, LLC (the “Company,” “we,” “our” or “USWS”) was formed as a Delaware limited liability company. The Company is a Houston, Texas based oilfield service provider of well stimulation services to the upstream oil and natural gas industry. We engage in high-pressure hydraulic fracturing in unconventional oil and natural gas basins. The fracturing process consists of pumping a specially formulated fluid into perforated well casing, tubing or open holes under high pressure, causing the underground formation to crack or fracture, allowing nearby hydrocarbons to flow more freely up the wellbore.
	The predecessor to the Company was U.S. Well Services, Inc. (“USWS, Inc.”), which was incorporated in Delaware on August 18, 2011. The Company was capitalized via a contribution by USWS, Inc. of substantially all of the assets and contracts of USWS, Inc. in exchange for 167,500 of the Company’s Series C Units (the “Restructuring”). Contemporaneously with the formation of the Company, ORB Investments, LLC, a Louisiana limited liability company (“ORB”), made a $30 million equity investment in the Company (the “Sponsor Equity Investment”), in exchange for 600,000 of the Company’s Series A Units and 600,000 of the Company’s Series B Units. In addition, concurrently with the formation of the Company, USW Financing Corp. ("USW Finance") was formed as a wholly-owned finance subsidiary of the Company for the purpose of acting as a co-obligor for an offering of 85,000 units with each unit consisting of $1,000 principal amount of 14.50% Senior Secured Notes due 2017 (the "Original Notes") and a warrant to purchase the Company’s Series B Units (the “Unit Offering”).
	The predecessor company was a development stage enterprise and had primarily been involved in start-up activities, including acquiring property and equipment and securing customer contracts.
	The Company began operations under a take or pay contract with Antero Resources Appalachian Corporation (“Antero”), for a 24 month service period commencing on April 12, 2012 to perform hydraulic fracturing services in the Marcellus and Utica Shales in Ohio, West Virginia, New York and Pennsylvania (the “Original Antero Contract”). Prior to beginning operations in the second quarter of 2012, the Company was in the development stage.

	The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiary, USW Finance. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
	These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for the fair presentation of the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented have been included.

	NOTE 3 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
	Use of Estimates
	The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. We regularly evaluate estimates and judgments based on historical experience and other relevant facts and circumstances. Significant estimates included in these financial statements primarily relate to estimated useful lives of property and equipment and the valuation of unit-based compensation. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
	Cash and Cash Equivalents
	Cash equivalents are highly liquid investments with an original maturity at the date of acquisition of three months or less. Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on deposit with domestic banks and, at times, may exceed federally insured limits.
	The Company maintains zero balance cash disbursement accounts with a certain bank. Outstanding checks in excess of funds on deposit with the bank, referred to as cash overdrafts, are classified as part of Accounts Payable on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet, and totaled $2.0 million as of September 30, 2013. There were no cash overdrafts as of December 31, 2012. Changes in these overdraft amounts are recorded as financing activities on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
	Fair Value of Financial Instruments
	Fair value is defined under Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 820, Fair Value Measurement, as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. ASC 820 also establishes a three-level hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The three levels are defined as follows:
	Level 1–inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
	Level 2–inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.
	Level 3–inputs are unobservable for the asset or liability.
	The following is a summary of the carrying amounts and estimated fair values of our financial instruments as of September 30, 2013:
	Cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities. These carrying amounts approximate fair value because of the short maturity of the instruments or because the carrying value is equal to the fair value of those instruments on the balance sheet date.
	14.50% Senior Secured Notes due 2017. The fair value of the notes is estimated using level 2 inputs by obtaining from the broker the quoted price as of September 30, 2013. The carrying value of these notes as of September 30, 2013 was $80.4 million, and the fair value was $82.0 million (102.0% of carrying value).
	Major Customer and Concentration of Credit Risk
	The concentration of our customers in the oil and natural gas industry may impact our overall exposure to credit risk, either positively or negatively, in that customers may be similarly affected by changes in economic and industry conditions. We perform ongoing credit evaluations of our customers and do not generally require collateral in support of our trade receivables.
	During the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, Antero accounted for approximately 92.2% and 99.4%, respectively, of our consolidated revenues. No customer other than Antero accounted for more than 10% of our consolidated revenues during the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012.
	Antero accounted for approximately 86.8% and 99.0% of our consolidated revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. No customer other than Antero accounted for more than 10% of our consolidated revenues during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and the period from February 21, 2012 (inception) through September 30, 2012.
	Receivables outstanding from Antero were approximately 78.6% of our total accounts receivable as of September 30, 2013. One other customer accounted for approximately 21.3% of our total accounts receivable as of September 30, 2013.
	Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
	We do not expect the adoption of recently issued accounting pronouncements to have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations, balance sheet or cash flows.

Revolving Credit Facility [Abstract]	'
Revolving Credit Facility	'
	NOTE 6 – REVOLVING CREDIT FACILITY
	On May 9, 2013, we entered into a Credit and Security Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (the “Lender”) pursuant to which the Lender agreed to extend credit to us in the form of a revolving credit facility up to $7.5 million (the “Revolving Credit Facility”). The Revolving Credit Facility includes a sublimit for the issuance of letters of credit in an aggregate amount of up to $1.0 million.
	The Lender will make revolving loans (“Loans”) by way of Fixed Rate LIBOR Loans and Variable Rate LIBOR Loans to the Company in aggregate amounts outstanding at any time not to exceed an amount (the “Borrowing Base”) that is the lesser of (i) $7.5 million less the sum of (A) the aggregate undrawn amount of all outstanding letters of credit, and (B) the aggregate amount of outstanding reimbursement obligations with respect to letters of credit, which remain unreimbursed or which have not been paid through a Loan, or (ii) an amount equal to the result of: (A) the lesser of (y) 85% (less the amount, if any, of the Dilution Reserve (as defined in the Credit Agreement), if applicable) of the amount of Eligible Accounts (as defined in the Credit Agreement), and (z) $7.5 million, minus (B)$500,000, as such amount may be adjusted by the Lender from time to time, in its sole discretion, minus (C) the aggregate amount of Reserves (as defined in the Credit Agreement), if any, established by the Lender in its Permitted Discretion (as defined in the Credit Agreement). Loans may be repaid by the Company and, subject to the terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement, reborrowed at any time during the term of the Credit Agreement.
	The interest rate per annum on the Revolving Credit Facility is equal to (i) at our option, (A) the daily three month LIBOR with respect to Variable Rate LIBOR loans, which interest rate shall change whenever daily three month LIBOR changes, or (B) LIBOR for the specified interest period with respect to Fixed Rate LIBOR loans, and (ii) the applicable margin. The applicable margin is determined as one percentage point when the Interest Rate is based on the Prime Rate, or three percentage points with respect to Fixed Rate LIBOR loans or Variable Rate LIBOR loans.
	The Credit Agreement contains financial covenants, which require us to:
	 maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio, measured monthly on a trailing twelve-month basis at the end of each month, commencing no later than the month ended May 31, 2014, of not less than 1.0:1.0.
	 maintain (i) liquidity of at least $5 million, (ii) gross availability of at least $1 million, and (iii) cash plus availability of at least $1 million, in each case, at all times during the period commencing on August 1, 2013, through and including the date upon which the Company has maintained a fixed charge coverage ratio of not less than 1.0:1.0 for two consecutive calendar months. After the Company has maintained a fixed charge coverage ratio of not less than 1.0:1.0 for two consecutive calendar months, the Lender shall not test the covenants set forth in Section 8.1(b) of the Credit Agreement regarding maintenance of liquidity, gross availability and cash plus availability.
	All obligations of the Company under the Credit Agreement are secured by a continuing security interest in all of the Company's right, title, and interest in and to substantially all of the Company's assets.
	All of the Company's obligations outstanding under the Credit Agreement shall be payable in full on the earliest of (i) May 9, 2017, or (ii) ninety days prior to the maturity date of the Company's 14.50% Senior Secured Notes due 2017, or (iii) ninety days prior to the maturity date of the Company's Series A Units, or (iv) the date the Company terminates the Revolving Credit Facility, or (v) the date the Revolving Credit Facility terminates pursuant to the Credit Agreement following an Event of Default.

	As of September 30, 2013, we had borrowings of $0.1 million outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility, leaving $6.9 million of available borrowing capacity under our current Borrowing Base. The weighted average interest rate on the outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility was 3.4% for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2013.

	Senior Secured Notes. On April 10, 2013, the Company completed an offering of $12.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 14.50% Senior Secured Notes due 2017 (the "April 2013 Additional Notes" and together with the Original Notes and the October 2013 Additional Notes (as defined below), the "Notes"), the net proceeds of which were used to acquire a third hydraulic fracturing fleet. We issued the April 2013 Additional Notes as additional notes under the Indenture dated February 21, 2012 (the “Base Indenture”), by and among us, the guarantors party thereto, and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as trustee and collateral agent, as supplemented by that First Supplemental Indenture dated as of July 16, 2012 (the “First Supplemental Indenture”), and as further supplemented by that Second Supplemental Indenture dated as of April 10, 2013 (the “Second Supplemental Indenture”) and by that Third Supplemental Indenture dated as of October 18, 2013 (the “Third Supplemental Indenture” and, together with the Base Indenture, the First Supplemental Indenture and the Second Supplemental Indenture, the “Indenture”). On February 21, 2012, we issued $85.0 million aggregate principal amount of the Original Notes under the Base Indenture. In August 2012, we repurchased and retired $21,066,046 aggregate principal amount of the Original Notes (the “Second Contract Repurchase”) and made our first interest payment on the Original Notes by increasing the principal amount of the outstanding notes by $4,480,706. In November 2012, we repurchased but did not retire $2.5 million aggregate principal amount of the Original Notes. As of September 30, 2013, we had outstanding $80.4 million aggregate principal amount of the Notes. The Notes will mature on February 15, 2017. The Notes have a fixed annual interest rate of 14.50% on the principal amount which is due semi-annually, on February 15 and August 15 of each year. Accrued interest on the Notes was $1,457,516 at September 30, 2013.
	Our sole subsidiary, USW Finance, is a co-issuer of the Notes. The Notes may be fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, on a senior secured basis by each of our current and future domestic subsidiaries, other than subsidiaries designated as unrestricted subsidiaries. None of our future foreign subsidiaries will guarantee the Notes. The Notes and any future guarantees are subject to a lien on substantially all of our and our future subsidiaries' assets, subject to certain exceptions. If and when we incur permitted first lien indebtedness, the liens on the assets securing the Notes and any future guarantees will likely be contractually subordinated and junior to liens securing such permitted first lien indebtedness pursuant to an intercreditor agreement. The indenture governing the Notes restricts us and our restricted subsidiaries from making certain payments, including dividends and intercompany loans or advances.
	The Notes are subject to optional redemption features whereby: (a) on or after February 15, 2015, we may redeem some or all of the Notes at a premium that will decrease over time, (b) prior to February 15, 2015, we may, at our option, redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes using the net proceeds of certain equity offerings at a price equal to 110% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest and additional interest, if any, to the date of redemption; provided that, following any and all such redemptions, at least 65% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes originally issued under the indenture remain outstanding and the redemption occurs within 90 days of the closing of such equity offering, and (c) at any time prior to February 15, 2015, we may, at our option, redeem all or a part of the Notes, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ notice, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes redeemed, plus a specified make-whole premium, plus accrued and unpaid interest and additional interest, if any, to the applicable date of redemption. The Notes are also subject to certain mandatory redemption provisions whereby within 45 days after each March 31 or September 30 beginning on March 31, 2013 but not including March 31, 2014, for which our cash and cash equivalents are greater than $12.1 million, we are required to offer to repurchase Notes in the amount of such excess cash amount at an offer price in cash equal to 100% of their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest and additional interest, if any, to the date of repurchase.
	Equipment financing agreement. On July 30, 2012, the Company entered into a security agreement with a financing institution for the purchase of certain fracturing equipment. The aggregate principal amount of the financing agreement is $1,951,610 and bears effective interest at 6.5%. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company is required to pay 48 equal monthly payments of $46,386, including interest, beginning September 13, 2012 through maturity on September 13, 2016. As of September 30, 2013, the financing agreement had a balance of $1,434,266, of which $436,530 is due within one year.

Reedemable Series A Units	'
	NOTE 8 - REDEEMABLE SERIES A UNITS
	As part of the Sponsor Equity Investment, the Company authorized and issued 600,000 of its Series A Units. The holders of the Series A Units are not entitled to receive any ordinary distributions from the Company, are subject to certain drag-along rights, and do not have any preemptive rights relating to the Company. Pursuant to the terms of our Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement (the “Company Agreement”), ORB has the right to appoint all of the members of the Company's Board of Managers, except for one position on the Board of Managers which is required to be filled by the Company's Chief Executive Officer. The Board of Managers is to have the discretion to manage and conduct all the business and affairs of the Company.
	The holders of Series A Units, in certain instances, are entitled to have their Series A Units redeemed by the Company for a distribution in an amount that provides each Series A Unit holder with an internal rate of return of 13% on their investment with respect to their Series A Units. The payment of the redemption price to Series A Unit holders shall be paid, upon the occurrence of one of the following triggering events: (i) a liquidation of the Company (whether by consent of the Company’s Board of Managers and ORB, or withdrawal of all members or in accordance with Section 18-202 of the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act), (ii) a transfer of all of the assets or units of the Company, a merger or similar transaction or certain initial public offerings of the Company’s or its successor’s securities, or (iii) February 17, 2017. The payment of the redemption price to the Series A Unit holders shall occur before any distribution is made to the holders of the Series B, C or D Units.
	The Series A Units have an optional redemption feature pursuant to which, subject to the prior approval of ORB, the Company retains the option to redeem all or any portion of the Series A Units at any time in exchange for payment of an amount that provides each Series A Unit holder with an internal rate of return of 13% on their capital contribution with respect to their Series A Units.
	Because of the mandatory redemption features of the Series A Units which unconditionally obligate the Company to provide each holder with an internal rate of return of 13% on their investment, regardless of the triggering events, the units demonstrate characteristics of debt and therefore are accounted for as a long-term liability.
	At September 30, 2013, the mandatorily redeemable Series A Units totaling $29,994,000 are reported as a long-term liability on the balance sheet with accrued interest in the amount of $6,762,999. The maximum amount the Company could be required to pay to redeem the units on the mandatory redemption date of February 17, 2017 includes the face value of the units of $29,994,000 and interest to be accrued of $26,213,401.

Members' Interest [Abstract]	'
Member's Interest	'
	NOTE 9 – MEMBERS’ INTEREST
	The Company’s equity consists of four classes of membership interests, each designated with its own series of units. Series A Units are the Company’s preferred equity and Series B, C and D Units represent the Company’s common equity. See Note 8 - Redeemable Series A Units for further discussion of Series A Units. The Series B, C and D Units are equal in most respects, except that the Series B Units have anti-dilution protections and pre-emptive rights that the Series C and D Units generally do not have. Series D Units granted to certain officers have anti-dilution protections. Additionally, the Series B Units have more limited transfer restrictions than the Series C and D Units have. The Series D Units constitute profits interests, and are granted to certain officers and employees of the Company as performance incentives. See Note 10 - Unit-Based Compensation for further discussion of the Series D Units.
	As of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, there were 630,000 Series B Units, 192,500 Series C Units, and 47,706 Series D Units issued and outstanding.
	In conjunction with the Unit Offering, the Note holders received 85,000 warrants that entitle each holder to receive 1.7647 Series B Units at an exercise price of $0.01 per unit, representing approximately 150,000 Series B Units in aggregate or 15% of the Company’s common equity interests. The holders of the warrants have anti-dilution protections. The warrants became exercisable after they separated from the Notes on April 21, 2012 and will expire on February 21, 2019. As of September 30, 2013, none of these warrants had been exercised.

	Litigation
	Liabilities for loss contingencies arising from claims, assessments, litigation, fines, and penalties, and other sources are recorded when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. Legal costs incurred in connection with loss contingencies are expensed as incurred.
	In August 2012, the Company, together with certain of its officers, became co-defendants in an action filed by Calfrac Well Services, Ltd. and Calfrac Well Services Corp. (collectively, "Calfrac") alleging conspiracy to steal Calfrac's trade secrets, proprietary business and confidential information, customers and employees and other information for the purpose of setting up the Company's predecessor. Further, Calfrac sought actual and compensatory damages in connection with allegations of breach of contract and certain duties by certain of the Company's officers. On June 28, 2013, the Company entered into a settlement agreement and mutual release with Calfrac. The Company recorded a loss relating to the settlement during the second quarter of 2013.
	Sand Purchase Agreement
	On November 9, 2012, we entered into an agreement with a supplier to purchase sand for use in our hydraulic fracturing operations. The agreement is effective on November 1, 2012 for a term of two years, subject to renewal options. Under the terms of this agreement, we are required to purchase from this supplier a quarterly minimum quantity of sand at a fixed price, amounting to approximately $1.1 million per quarter. In the event we fail to purchase any portion of sand required to be purchased on a quarterly basis, we are required to make payments to the supplier for amounts not taken, up to the contractual minimum and subject to the terms of the agreement. For the three months ended and nine months ended September 30, 2013, the total amount purchased under the agreement was $3.3 million and $11.9 million. We do not believe that non-performance on our part would have a material impact on our financial position, cash flows or results of operations.

Subsequent Events	'
	NOTE 13 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
	Issuance of New Notes
	On October 18, 2013, the Company completed the issuance and sale of $46.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 14.50% Senior Secured Notes due 2017 (the “October 2013 Additional Notes” and together with the April 2013 Additional Notes, the “Additional Notes”), under the Indenture. We will use substantially all of the proceeds from the October 2013 Additional Notes to acquire both a fourth and fifth hydraulic fracturing fleet and associated heavy equipment and materials.
	Agreement to Issue New Membership Units
	Concurrently with the issuance and sale of the October 2013 Additional Notes, the Company entered into a subscription agreement (the “Series E Subscription Agreement”) with one of our existing investors and an affiliate thereof. Pursuant to the Series E Subscription Agreement, the investors agreed to purchase, and the Company agreed to issue, $14.0 million of Series E Units, provided that the number of Series E Units to be issued to such investors will be subject to reduction as a result of any other participating investors. The Series E Units will be governed by and issued pursuant to the First Amendment to the Company Agreement, which, among other things, will entitle the holders of Series E Units to a 13% preferred return on their equity contribution compounded semiannually and payable upon the occurrence of certain liquidation or exit events. The investors have prefunded the purchase price for the Series E Units, which will be issued at a closing expected to occur prior to the end of the year.
	Equipment Purchase Commitment
	In October 2013, we entered into agreements with various vendors for the purchase of the fourth hydraulic fracturing fleet, which is expected to consist of nine fracturing pumps and associated heavy equipment. As of November 6, 2013, we had paid approximately $9.6 million towards the purchase of our fourth fleet. We anticipate delivery of the fourth fleet to be completed in mid-November 2013.
	Construction began in October 2013, pursuant to agreements we entered into with various vendors, for the fracturing pumps and associated heavy equipment that are expected to compose the fifth hydraulic fracturing fleet, which will be a proprietary designed “Clean Fleet.” The Clean Fleet is a proprietary, patent-pending design that incorporates existing industry equipment configured in a novel manner to provide fracturing services at a lower cost with a smaller environmental and physical footprint, as well as with enhanced safety features, compared to traditional fracturing equipment. The Clean Fleet is expected to consist of 16 fracturing pumps and associated heavy equipment powered by electric motors, with electricity produced by mobile turbine generators that can burn a variety of hydrocarbon fuels, including natural gas. As of November 6, 2013, we had paid approximately $8.8 million towards the purchase of our fifth fleet. We anticipate delivery of the fifth fleet in April 2014 with operations beginning in May 2014.
	Series D Unit Agreements
	In October and November 2013, we entered into Amended and Restated Series D Unit agreements (“Amended Agreements”) with certain officers and key employees, pursuant to which 110,503 units became vested upon the execution of the Amended Agreements. A total of 65,049 units remain unvested until the occurrence of a liquidation or exit event. The vesting of such Series D Units triggered certain anti-dilution protections granted to the holders of our Series B Units in our Company Agreement and certain of our executive officers in their Series D Unit Agreements.

Use Of Estimates	'

	Use of Estimates
	The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. We regularly evaluate estimates and judgments based on historical experience and other relevant facts and circumstances. Significant estimates included in these financial statements primarily relate to estimated useful lives of property and equipment and the valuation of unit-based compensation. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash And Cash Equivalents	'
	Cash and Cash Equivalents
	Cash equivalents are highly liquid investments with an original maturity at the date of acquisition of three months or less. Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on deposit with domestic banks and, at times, may exceed federally insured limits.
	The Company maintains zero balance cash disbursement accounts with a certain bank. Outstanding checks in excess of funds on deposit with the bank, referred to as cash overdrafts, are classified as part of Accounts Payable on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet, and totaled $2.0 million as of September 30, 2013. There were no cash overdrafts as of December 31, 2012. Changes in these overdraft amounts are recorded as financing activities on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

Fair Value Of Financial Instruments	'

There were no cash overdrafts as of December 31, 2012. Changes in these overdraft amounts are recorded as financing activities on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
	Fair Value of Financial Instruments
	Fair value is defined under Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 820, Fair Value Measurement, as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. ASC 820 also establishes a three-level hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The three levels are defined as follows:
	Level 1–inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
	Level 2–inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.
	Level 3–inputs are unobservable for the asset or liability.
	The following is a summary of the carrying amounts and estimated fair values of our financial instruments as of September 30, 2013:
	Cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities. These carrying amounts approximate fair value because of the short maturity of the instruments or because the carrying value is equal to the fair value of those instruments on the balance sheet date.
	14.50% Senior Secured Notes due 2017. The fair value of the notes is estimated using level 2 inputs by obtaining from the broker the quoted price as of September 30, 2013. The carrying value of these notes as of September 30, 2013 was $80.4 million, and the fair value was $82.0 million (102.0% of carrying value).

Major Customer And Concentration Of Credit Risk	'
	Major Customer and Concentration of Credit Risk
	The concentration of our customers in the oil and natural gas industry may impact our overall exposure to credit risk, either positively or negatively, in that customers may be similarly affected by changes in economic and industry conditions. We perform ongoing credit evaluations of our customers and do not generally require collateral in support of our trade receivables.
	During the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, Antero accounted for approximately 92.2% and 99.4%, respectively, of our consolidated revenues. No customer other than Antero accounted for more than 10% of our consolidated revenues during the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012.
	Antero accounted for approximately 86.8% and 99.0% of our consolidated revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. No customer other than Antero accounted for more than 10% of our consolidated revenues during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and the period from February 21, 2012 (inception) through September 30, 2012.
	Receivables outstanding from Antero were approximately 78.6% of our total accounts receivable as of September 30, 2013. One other customer accounted for approximately 21.3% of our total accounts receivable as of September 30, 2013.
