Business and Organization	'
	Business and Organization
	Hi-Crush Partners LP (together with its subsidiaries, the “Partnership”, “we”, “us”, “our” ) is a Delaware limited partnership formed on May 8, 2012 to acquire selected sand reserves and related processing and transportation facilities of Hi-Crush Proppants LLC. In connection with its formation, the Partnership issued (a) a non-economic general partner interest to Hi-Crush GP LLC (the “General Partner”, or “Hi-Crush GP”), and (b) a 100.0% limited partner interest to Hi-Crush Proppants LLC (the “Sponsor”), its organizational limited partner.
	Through August 15, 2012, our Sponsor owned 100% of the sand reserves and related excavation and processing facilities located in Wyeville, Wisconsin. On August 16, 2012, the Sponsor contributed its ownership of Hi-Crush Chambers LLC, Hi-Crush Railroad LLC, Hi-Crush Wyeville LLC, Hi-Crush Operating LLC and $4,606 of cash to the Partnership (the “Contribution”). In addition, the Sponsor agreed to (1) convert all $23,916 of consolidated net intercompany receivables due from the Partnership into capital and (2) assume via capital contribution $10,028 of outstanding accounts payable maintained by Hi-Crush Operating LLC as of the transaction date. In return, the Partnership issued 13,640,351 common units and 13,640,351 subordinated units to the Sponsor. In connection with this transaction, the Partnership also completed an initial public offering through the sale of 12,937,500 of the Partnership’s common units by the Sponsor.
	The Partnership considered all contributed assets to be under common control with the Sponsor. As such, we have presented the consolidated historical financial statements of the Sponsor as our historical financial statements as we believe they provide a representation of our management’s ability to execute and manage our business plan. The financial statement data and operations of the Sponsor are referred to herein as “Predecessor,” whereas operations following the initial public offering on August 16, 2012 are referred to herein as “Successor.”
	On January 31, 2013, the Partnership entered into an agreement with the Sponsor to acquire a preferred interest in Hi-Crush Augusta LLC (“Augusta”), the entity that owns the Sponsor’s Augusta facility, which is located in Eau Claire County, Wisconsin, for $37,500 in cash and 3,750,000 newly issued convertible Class B units in the Partnership. The Sponsor will not receive distributions on the Class B units unless certain thresholds are met and until they convert into common units. The preferred interest in Augusta entitles the Partnership to a preferred distribution of $3,750 per quarter, or $15,000 annually.
	On June 10, 2013, the Partnership acquired an independent frac sand supplier, D & I Silica, LLC (“D&I”), transforming the Partnership into an integrated Northern White frac sand producer, transporter, marketer and distributor. The Partnership acquired D&I for $95,159 in cash and 1,578,947 common units (See Note 5 – Business Combination – Acquisition Accounting). Founded in 2006, D&I is the largest independent frac sand supplier to the oil and gas industry drilling in the Marcellus and Utica shales. D&I operates through an extensive logistics network of rail-served origin and destination terminals located in the Midwest near supply sources and strategically throughout Pennsylvania, Ohio and New York.

Basis of Presentation and Use of Estimates	'
	Basis of Presentation and Use of Estimates
	The accompanying unaudited interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (“interim statements”) of the Partnership have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X issued by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments and disclosures necessary for a fair presentation of these interim statements have been included. The results reported in these interim statements are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be reported for the entire year. These interim statements should be read in conjunction with the Partnership’s Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2012, which are included in the Partnership’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 14, 2013. The year-end balance sheet data was derived from the audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP.
	The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
	The condensed consolidated financial statement information through August 15, 2012 includes the consolidated results and financial position of the Sponsor (Predecessor). The balance sheet as of September 30, 2013 includes only the financial position of the Partnership, including the retained earnings of the Partnership’s operations prospectively from August 16, 2012.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]	'
Significant Accounting Policies	'
	Significant Accounting Policies
	In addition to the Significant Accounting Policies listed below, a comprehensive discussion of our critical accounting policies and estimates is included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 14, 2013.
	Restricted Cash
	The Partnership must pledge cash escrow accounts for the benefit of the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation, Bureau of Rail Freight, Ports and Waterways (“Bureau”) to guarantee performance on rail improvement projects partially funded by the Bureau. The funds are released when the project is completed.
	Preferred Interest in Hi-Crush Augusta
	The Partnership accounts for the preferred interest in Augusta obtained on January 31, 2013 as a cost method investment. The preferred interest is not allocated any of the periodic earnings or losses of Augusta, but may in the future convert to a 20% equity interest in that entity. In accordance with the cost method, distributions earned under the preferred interest are recognized as income on the date the cash is received by the Partnership.
	Revenue Recognition
	Frac sand sales revenues are recognized when legal title passes to the customer, which may occur at the production facility, rail origin or at the destination terminal. At that point, delivery has occurred, evidence of a contractual arrangement exists and collectability is reasonably assured. Amounts received from customers in advance of sand deliveries are recorded as deferred revenue. Revenue from make-whole provisions in our customer contracts is recognized at the end of the defined cure period.
	The majority of our frac sand is sold under long-term, take-or-pay supply agreements, the current terms of which expire between 2014 and 2019. The take-or-pay agreements define, among other commitments, the volume of product that the Partnership must provide, the price that will be charged to the customer, and the volume that the customer must purchase at the end of the defined cure period, which can range from three months to the end of a contract year.
	Transportation services revenues are recognized as the services have been completed, meaning the related services have been rendered. At that point, delivery of service has occurred, evidence of a contractual arrangement exists and collectability is reasonably assured. Amounts received from customers in advance of transportation services being rendered are recorded as deferred revenue.
	Revenue attributable to silo storage leases is recorded on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.
	Deferred Revenue
	In July 2012, the Sponsor received an $8,250 advance payment from a customer for a certain volume of frac sand to be delivered over the six-month period beginning in July 2012. As of August 15, 2012, the outstanding balance under this obligation was $6,590, while the cash held by the Partnership was $1,984. As a result, the Sponsor made a cash contribution of $4,606 to align the cash balance with the outstanding balance under this advance. As of December 31, 2012, the balance was $1,715, and as of September 30, 2013, no deferred revenue balance was outstanding under this advance payment.
	Fair Value of Financial Instruments
	The amounts reported in the balance sheet as current assets or liabilities, including cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities and deferred revenue approximate fair value due to the short-term maturities of these instruments. The amount recorded on the balance sheet pertaining to the Partnership’s long-term debt outstanding at September 30, 2013 is considered a Level 2 financial instrument as although there is no observable quoted price, the underlying floating rate of interest is based on a published benchmark interest rate that is observable at commonly quoted intervals. As of September 30, 2013, the carrying value of the debt approximated its fair value as it is subject to floating rate interest and there have not been any significant changes to the Partnership’s credit profile since the debt was issued in January 2013.
	Net Income per Limited Partner Unit
	We have identified the Sponsor’s incentive distribution rights as participating securities and compute income per unit using the two-class method under which any excess of distributions declared over net income shall be allocated to the partners based on their respective sharing of income specified in the partnership agreement. Net income per unit applicable to limited partners (including subordinated unitholders) is computed by dividing limited partners’ interest in net income, after deducting any Sponsor incentive distributions, by the weighted-average number of outstanding common and subordinated units. Basic and diluted net income per unit are the same as there are no potentially dilutive common or subordinated units outstanding.
	As the 3,750,000 Class B units do not have voting rights or rights to share in the Partnership’s periodic earnings, either through participation in its distributions or through an allocation of its undistributed earnings or losses, they are not deemed to be participating securities in their current form. In addition, the conversion of the Class B units into common units is fully contingent upon the satisfaction of defined criteria pertaining to the cumulative payment of distributions and earnings per unit of the Partnership as described in Note 11. Therefore, it is possible that the Class B units may never be converted into common units. As such, until all of the defined payment and earnings criteria are satisfied, the Class B units will not be included in our calculation of either basic or diluted earnings per unit.
	Income Taxes
	The Partnership and Sponsor are pass-through entities and are not considered taxing entities for federal tax purposes. Therefore, there is not a provision for income taxes in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements. The Partnership’s net income or loss is allocated to its partners in accordance with the partnership agreement. The partners are taxed individually on their share of the Partnership’s earnings. At September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Partnership did not have any liabilities for uncertain tax positions or gross unrecognized tax benefit.
	Recent Accounting Pronouncements
	The Partnership has considered all new accounting pronouncements and has concluded that there are no new pronouncements that may have a material impact on the results of operations, financial condition or cash flows, based on current information.

Initial Public Offering	'
	Initial Public Offering
	On August 16, 2012, we completed our initial public offering (“IPO”) of 11,250,000 common units representing limited partner interests in the Partnership at a price to the public of $17.00 per common unit, or $15.96 per common unit after payment of the underwriting discount. Total net proceeds paid to our Sponsor from the sale of common units in our IPO were $179,536 after taking into account our underwriting discount of $11,714. Our Sponsor received all proceeds from the IPO and incurred capitalized transaction costs of $3,447. These capitalized transaction costs were retained by our Sponsor. On August 16, 2012, our underwriters exercised their option to purchase an additional 1,687,500 common units for $26,930, or $15.96 per common unit, net of underwriting discounts. As a result, total proceeds were $206,466 from the sale of 12,937,500 total common units to the public.

	As a result of the IPO, the Partnership entered into or amended the following agreements:
	Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership of Hi-Crush Partners LP
	On August 20, 2012, the Partnership amended and restated its Limited Partnership Agreement to establish the organizational framework for a public master limited partnership. On January 31, 2013, the Partnership amended and restated its amended and restated Limited Partnership Agreement to, among other things, provide for the creation of the Class B units.
	Omnibus Agreement
	On August 20, 2012, the Partnership entered into an omnibus agreement with Hi-Crush GP and our Sponsor. Pursuant to the terms of this agreement, our Sponsor will indemnify the Partnership for certain liabilities over specified periods of time, including but not limited to certain liabilities relating to (a) environmental matters pertaining to the period prior to our IPO and the contribution of the sand reserves and related excavation and processing facilities located in Wyeville, Wisconsin (the “Wyeville Plant”) from our Sponsor, provided that such indemnity is capped at $7,500 in aggregate, (b) federal, state and local tax liabilities pertaining to the period prior to our IPO and the contribution of the Wyeville Plant from our Sponsor, (c) inadequate permits or licenses related to the contributed assets, and (d) any losses, costs or damages incurred by the Partnership that are attributable to our Sponsor’s ownership and operation of the Wyeville Plant prior to the IPO and our Sponsor’s contribution of such assets. The Partnership agreed to indemnify our Sponsor from any losses, costs or damages our Sponsor incurs that are attributable to the Partnership’s ownership and operation of the contributed assets following the closing of the IPO, subject to similar limitations as on our Sponsor’s indemnity obligations to the Partnership.
	The omnibus agreement had provided that the Partnership would assign to Augusta all of its rights and obligations under a long-term, take-or-pay contract with one customer on May 1, 2013, and Augusta would have been obligated to accept such assignment and assume the Partnership’s obligations under such contract. On January 31, 2013, in connection with the Partnership’s agreement with our Sponsor to acquire a preferred interest in Augusta, the parties agreed that the take-or-pay contract subject to the May 1, 2013 assignment would no longer be assigned. As such, the contract will remain with the Partnership and continue to be fulfilled by the Wyeville Plant for the remainder of its term. In addition, the omnibus agreement also provides the Partnership, for a period of three years from the effective date of the agreement, a right of first offer on the sand reserves and related excavation and processing facilities located in Eau Claire County, Wisconsin owned by Augusta (the “Augusta Plant”) in the event our Sponsor proposes to transfer such reserves and assets to a third party other than in connection with a sale of all or substantially all of its assets.
	Services Agreements
	Effective August 16, 2012, our Sponsor entered into a services agreement (the “Services Agreement”) by and among the General Partner, Hi-Crush Services LLC (“Hi-Crush Services”) and the Partnership, pursuant to which Hi-Crush Services provides certain management and administrative services to the Partnership to assist in operating the Partnership’s business. Under the Services Agreement, the Partnership reimburses Hi-Crush Services and its affiliates, 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, rent and other administrative expenses for individuals and entities that perform services for the Partnership. Hi-Crush Services and its affiliates will not be liable to the Partnership for its performance of services under the Services Agreement, except for liabilities resulting from gross negligence.
	In addition, effective August 16, 2012, the Partnership entered into an agreement with Augusta, pursuant to which Augusta provides maintenance and capital spares to the Partnership in connection with the ongoing maintenance of the Wyeville Plant. Augusta bills the Partnership for the approximate cost of such items.
	Long-Term Incentive Plan
	On August 21, 2012, Hi-Crush GP adopted the Hi-Crush Partners LP Long Term Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) for employees, consultants and directors of Hi-Crush GP and those of its affiliates, including our Sponsor, who perform services for the Partnership. The Plan consists of restricted units, unit options, phantom units, unit payments, unit appreciation rights, other equity-based awards, distribution equivalent rights, and performance awards. The Plan limits the number of common units that may be issued pursuant to awards under the Plan to 1,364,035 units. Common units withheld to satisfy exercise prices or tax withholding obligations are available for delivery pursuant to other awards. The Plan is administered by Hi-Crush GP’s Board of Directors or a committee thereof. On January 30, 2013, the Partnership issued 2,761 restricted common units to each of its independent directors.

	Preferred Interest in Hi-Crush Augusta LLC
	On January 31, 2013, the Partnership entered into an agreement with our Sponsor to acquire 100,000 preferred units in Augusta, the entity that owns our Sponsor’s Augusta Plant, for $37,500 in cash and 3,750,000 newly issued convertible Class B units in the Partnership.
	The transaction represented an exchange of ownership interests between entities under common control. As a result, the Partnership recorded an investment in the preferred interest equal to the total amount of the cash paid and our Sponsor’s cost basis in the preferred units. Excess consideration exchanged over the cost basis was recorded as a deemed distribution to our Sponsor, determined as follows:
	Total consideration paid	$	95,400
	Less: Cash paid	(37,500		)
	Less: Sponsor’s cost basis in the investment	(9,543		)
	Deemed distribution	$	48,357
	In connection with this acquisition, the Partnership incurred $451 of acquisition related costs during the three months ended March 31, 2013. Such expenses are included in general and administrative expenses in the Partnership's condensed consolidated statement of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2013.
	As a preferred unit holder in Augusta, the Partnership votes as a separate class from the common unitholders of Augusta and ranks senior to all other equity classes of Augusta. The preferred units entitle the Partnership to receive a distribution equal to $3,750 per quarter, beginning January 1, 2013, plus any unpaid arrearages from prior quarters. On April 1, 2013, Augusta declared its first quarterly distribution of $3,750, paid on May 10, 2013 to the Partnership. As the Partnership’s investment is accounted for under the cost method, and the first distribution was paid after March 31, 2013, income pertaining to this distribution was recognized during the three months ended June 30, 2013. On August 9, 2013, Augusta paid its second quarterly distribution of $3,750 to the Partnership which was recognized as income during the three months ended September 30, 2013. On October 1, 2013, Augusta declared its third quarterly distribution of $3,750, to be paid on November 11, 2013.
	The preferred units in Augusta will automatically convert to common units in Augusta on March 31, 2018 unless (i) there are any arrearages in preferred unit distributions, (ii) the preferred units would not have received, on an as-converted basis, an annualized distribution of at least $10,000 over the preceding four quarters or (iii) the Partnership, with concurrence of the conflicts committee of the board of directors of our General Partner, elects to convert at an earlier time. The number of common units issued upon conversion will be equal to 25% of the then outstanding common units, such that, following the conversion, the Partnership would own 20% of the common units in Augusta.

	Subordinated Promissory Notes
	Between May 25, 2011 and July 20, 2012, our Sponsor entered into various subordinated promissory notes with certain of its equity investors and their affiliates in an aggregate initial principal amount of $52,167. Borrowings under the subordinated promissory notes bore interest, at our Sponsor’s option, at a rate of 10% for cash interest and 12% for paid-in-kind interest (“PIK interest”). Accruals for PIK interest increased the outstanding principal balance of these promissory notes. The balances of the PIK interest and subordinated promissory notes, as retained by our Sponsor, were paid in full on August 21, 2012 with the proceeds of the sale of the Partnership’s common units by our Sponsor.
	New Subordinated Promissory Notes
	In order to fund a royalty termination payment (see Note 14 - Commitments and Contingencies), our Sponsor entered into new subordinated promissory notes in July 2012 with certain of its equity investors and their affiliates in an aggregate initial principal amount of $14,981 with similar terms as its existing subordinated promissory notes. The balances of the PIK interest and subordinated promissory notes, as retained by our Sponsor, were paid in full by our Sponsor on August 21, 2012 with the proceeds of the sale of the Partnership’s common units by our Sponsor.
	Sponsor Credit Facility
	On April 6, 2012, our Sponsor entered into a four-year $62,500 secured credit facility (the “Sponsor Credit Facility”) with Amegy Bank, N.A. and a syndicate of other financial institutions. The Sponsor Credit Facility consisted of the following commitments on the part of the lenders: (1) a $25,000 term loan (“Tranche A”), (2) a $30,000 advancing term loan commitment (“Tranche B”) and (3) a $7,500 revolving loan commitment (the “Revolving Commitment”). In addition, the Sponsor Credit Facility included sub-limits for letters of credit and swing line borrowings of up to $5,000 and $2,500, respectively.
	Borrowings under the Sponsor Credit Facility bore interest at a floating rate equal to, at our Sponsor’s option, either (a) a base rate plus a range of 225 basis points to 325 basis points per annum or (b) a Eurodollar rate, which is based on one-month LIBOR, plus a range of 325 basis points to 425 basis points per annum. The base rate was established as the highest of (i) the U.S. prime rate last quoted by The Wall Street Journal, (ii) the federal funds rate plus 50 basis points or (iii) daily one-month LIBOR plus 100 basis points. The Revolving Commitment and the Tranche B term loan provides for a commitment fee of 0.5% on the unused portion.
	After consummation of the IPO on August 16, 2012, our Sponsor retained the Sponsor Credit Facility and related borrowings. In addition, as of August 16, 2012, the Sponsor Credit Facility was no longer guaranteed by the subsidiaries contributed to the Partnership. As such, the Sponsor’s long-term debt is not reflected on the Partnership’s successor balance sheets.
	On August 21, 2012, the Sponsor entered into that certain consent and third amendment to the Sponsor Credit Facility, whereby the lenders, among other things, (i) consented to the consummation of the IPO and (ii) released and discharged certain credit parties in connection with the IPO.
	Partnership Credit Facility
	On August 21, 2012, the Partnership entered into a credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”), with Amegy Bank, N.A. and a syndicate of other financial institutions (collectively, the “Lending Banks”) providing for a new $100,000 senior secured revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) with a term of four years. The Credit Facility is available to fund working capital and general corporate purposes, including the making of certain restricted payments permitted therein. The Credit Facility has an accordion feature that allows the Partnership to increase the available revolving borrowings under the facility up to an aggregate amount of $200,000, subject to the Partnership receiving increased commitments from existing lenders or new commitments from new lenders and the satisfaction of certain other conditions. Borrowings under the Credit Facility are secured by substantially all of the Partnership’s assets, including its preferred equity interest in Augusta, as discussed below.
	Loans under the Credit Facility bear interest at a floating rate based upon the Partnership’s leverage ratio, equal to, at the Partnership’s option, either (a) a base rate plus a range from 150 to 250 basis points per annum or (b) a LIBOR rate, plus a range of 250 to 350 basis points. The base rate is established as the highest of (i) the U.S. prime rate, (ii) the daily one-month LIBOR plus 100 basis points and (iii) the federal funds rate plus 0.50%. The unused portion of the Credit Facility is subject to a commitment fee calculated based upon the Partnership’s leverage ratio ranging from 0.375% to 0.50% per annum. Upon any event of default, the interest rate shall, upon the request of the lenders holding a majority of the commitments, be increased by 2.0% per annum for the period during which the event of default exists.
	The Credit Agreement contains customary representations and warranties, affirmative covenants, negative covenants and events of default. The negative covenants include restrictions on the Partnership’s ability to incur additional indebtedness, acquire and sell assets, create liens, make investments and make distributions.
	The Credit Agreement requires the Partnership to maintain a leverage ratio (as such term is defined in the Credit Agreement) of not more than 3.00 to 1.00, which may increase to up to 3.50 to 1.00 during specified periods following a permitted acquisition, and a minimum interest coverage ratio (as such term is defined in the Credit Agreement) of not less than 2.50 to 1.00.
	If an event of default (as such term is defined the Credit Agreement) occurs, the agent would be entitled to take various actions, including the acceleration of amounts due under the Credit Facility, termination of the commitments under the Credit Facility and all remedial actions available to a secured creditor.
	In connection with our acquisition of a preferred interest in Augusta, on January 31, 2013, the Partnership entered into a consent and first amendment whereby the Lending Banks, among other things, (i) consented to the amendment and restatement of the partnership agreement of the Partnership and (ii) agreed to amend the Credit Agreement to permit the acquisition by the Partnership of a preferred equity interest in Hi-Crush Augusta LLC. On January 31, 2013, the Partnership drew $38,250 under the Credit Facility to fund the acquisition of the preferred interest in Augusta.
	On May 9, 2013, the Partnership entered into a commitment increase agreement and second amendment whereby the Lending Banks, among other things, consented to the increase of the aggregate commitments by $100,000 to a total of $200,000 and addition of lenders to the lending bank group. Under the second amendment, the Partnership agreed to a term out feature under which $50,000 of borrowings would convert to a term loan due August 21, 2016 if the outstanding borrowings under the revolver exceeded $125,000 for four consecutive quarters. If balances are outstanding on a term loan, the Partnership would be required to maintain a debt service coverage ratio (as such term is defined in the Credit Agreement) of not less than 1.50 to 1.00. On June 10, 2013, we drew $100,000 under the Credit Facility to fund the acquisition of D&I.
	As of September 30, 2013, we had $138,250 indebtedness and $60,250 of undrawn borrowing capacity ($200,000, net of $138,250 indebtedness and $1,500 letter of credit commitments) under our Credit Facility. The outstanding balance is due on December 31, 2016 and carries an interest rate of 3.18% as of September 30, 2013.
	Subsidiary Guarantors
	The Partnership has filed a registration statement on Form S-3 to register, among other securities, debt securities. Each of the current subsidiaries of Hi-Crush Partners LP (other than Hi-Crush Finance Corp., whose sole purpose is to act as a co-issuer of any debt securities), each a 100 percent directly or indirectly owned subsidiary of the Partnership, (the “guarantors”) will issue guarantees of the debt securities, if any of them issue guarantees, and such guarantees will be full and unconditional and will constitute the joint and several obligations of such guarantors. The guarantors are our sole subsidiaries, other than Hi-Crush Finance Corp., which is our 100 percent owned subsidiary. The Partnership has no assets or operations independent of its subsidiaries, and there are no significant restrictions upon the ability of the Partnership or any of its subsidiaries to obtain funds from its respective subsidiaries by dividend or loan. None of the assets of our subsidiaries represent restricted net assets pursuant to Rule 4-08(e)(3) of Regulation S-X under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).

Equity	'
	Equity
	On January 30, 2013, the Partnership issued 2,761 common units to each of its independent directors, valued in the aggregate at $100 and reflected as general and administrative expense in the accompanying financial statements.
	On June 10, 2013, the Partnership issued 1,578,947 common units to certain former members of D&I, representing the non-cash portion of the purchase price for the acquisition (See Note 5 – Business Combination – Acquisition Accounting).
	As of September 30, 2013, our Sponsor owned 702,851 common units, 13,640,351 subordinated units and 3,750,000 Class B units, representing a 49.7% ownership interest in the limited partner units and a 100% ownership interest in the Class B units of the Partnership. In addition, our Sponsor is the owner of our General Partner.
	Class B Units
	On January 31, 2013, the Partnership issued 3,750,000 subordinated Class B units and paid $37,500 in cash to our Sponsor in return for 100,000 preferred equity units in our Sponsor’s Augusta facility. Our Sponsor will not receive distributions on the Class B units until converted into common units of the Partnership. The Class B units are eligible for conversion into common units once we have, for two consecutive quarters, (i) earned $2.31 per common unit, subordinated unit and Class B unit on an annualized basis and (ii) paid $2.10 per unit in annualized distributions on each common and subordinated unit, or 110% of the current minimum quarterly distribution for a period of two consecutive quarters, and our General Partner has determined, with the concurrence of the conflicts committee of the board of directors of our General Partner, that we are expected to maintain such performance for at least two succeeding quarters. Class B units do not have voting rights or rights to share in the Partnership’s periodic earnings, either through participation in its distributions or through an allocation of its undistributed earnings or losses.
	Allocations of Net Income
	Our partnership agreement contains provisions for the allocation of net income and loss to the unitholders (excluding Class B unitholders) and our General Partner. For purposes of maintaining partner capital accounts, the partnership agreement specifies that items of income and loss shall be allocated among the partners in accordance with their respective percentage ownership interest. Normal allocations according to percentage interests are made after giving effect, if any, to priority income allocations in an amount equal to incentive cash distributions allocated 100% to our Sponsor.
	Incentive Distribution Rights
	Incentive distribution rights represent the right to receive increasing percentages (ranging from 15.0% to 50.0%) of quarterly distributions from operating surplus after minimum quarterly distribution and target distribution levels exceed $0.54625 per unit, per quarter. Our Sponsor currently holds the incentive distribution rights, but it may transfer these rights at any time.
	Distributions
	Our partnership agreement sets forth the calculation to be used to determine the amount of cash distributions that our common and subordinated unitholders and our Sponsor will receive.
	Our distributions have been as follows:
	Declaration	Amount Declared				Record Date		Date Paid	Amount
	Date	Per Unit (a)							Paid
	October 19, 2012	$	0.2375		(b)	November 1, 2012		November 15, 2012	$	6,480
	January 17, 2013	$	0.475			February 1, 2013		February 15, 2013	$	12,961
	April 16, 2013	$	0.475			May 1, 2013		May 15, 2013	$	12,961
	July 17, 2013	$	0.475			August 1, 2013		August 15, 2013	$	13,711
	October 17, 2013	$	0.49			November 1, 2013		November 15, 2013	$	14,144
	(a)	For all common and subordinated units. No distributions were declared for our holders of incentive distribution rights or the holders of our Class B units.
	(b)	Represents a pro rata distribution of our minimum quarterly distribution for the period from August 16, 2012 through September 30, 2012.
	For purposes of calculating the Partnership’s earnings per unit under the two-class method, common units are treated as participating preferred units, and the subordinated units are treated as the residual equity interest, or common equity. Incentive distribution rights are treated as participating securities. As the Class B units do not have rights to share in the Partnership’s periodic earnings, whether through participation in its distributions or through an allocation of its undistributed earnings or losses, they are not participating securities in their current form. In addition, the conversion of the Class B units into common units is fully contingent upon the satisfaction of defined criteria pertaining to the cumulative payment of distributions and earnings per unit of the Partnership as described earlier in Note 11. Therefore, it is possible that the Class B units may never be converted into common units. As such, until all of the defined payment and earnings criteria are satisfied, the Class B units will not be included in our calculation of either basic or diluted earnings per unit.
	Distributions made in future periods based on the current period calculation of cash available for distribution are allocated to each class of equity that will receive such distributions. Any unpaid cumulative distributions are allocated to the appropriate class of equity.
	Each period the Partnership determines the amount of cash available for distributions in accordance with the partnership agreement. The amount to be distributed to common unitholders, subordinated unitholders and incentive distribution rights holders is based on the distribution waterfall in the partnership agreement. Net earnings for the period are allocated to each class of partnership interest based on the distributions to be made. Additionally, if, during the subordination period, the Partnership does not have enough cash available to make the required minimum distribution to the common unit holders, the Partnership will allocate net earnings to the common unit holders based on the amount of distributions in arrears. When actual cash distributions are made based on distributions in arrears, those cash distributions will not be allocated to the common unit holders, as such earnings were allocated in previous periods.
	Net income attributable to our limited partner unit holders is as follows during the period from January 1, 2013 to September 30, 2013 (in thousands, except per unit amounts):
		Common				Subordinated
		Unitholders				Unitholders

	On May 25, 2011, our Sponsor entered into a management services agreement with Red Oak Capital Management LLC (the “Service Provider”) which is owned by two members who are also equity members in our Sponsor. The agreement provides for certain management and administrative support services to be provided to our Sponsor for a term of one year and that thereafter remain in place upon the same terms and conditions. Either party may terminate the agreement by delivering written notice within 90 days prior to the date of expiration of the initial term or any time after the expiration of the initial term, by delivering written notice 90 days prior to the desired date of termination. Our Sponsor reimburses the Service Provider 95% of the Service Provider’s actual costs limited to $850 per year. Management fees incurred during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, are included as a portion of the management services expense from Hi-Crush Services, as discussed below.
	Our Sponsor paid quarterly director fees to non-management directors that may be members and/or holders of our Sponsor’s debt through the date of the IPO.

	During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Partnership incurred $872 and $2,109, respectively, of management service expenses from Hi-Crush Services under the Services Agreement discussed in Note 4. During the period from August 16, 2012 through September 30, 2012, the Partnership incurred $148 of such expenses.
	In the normal course of business, our Sponsor and its affiliates, including Hi-Crush Services, and the Partnership may from time to time make payments on behalf of each other. During the period from January 1, 2013 to September 30, 2013, we received net repayments of $5,615 for net payments we previously made to various suppliers, vendors or other counterparties on behalf of our Sponsor.
	As of September 30, 2013, an outstanding balance of $1,212 payable to our Sponsor is maintained as a current liability under the caption “Due to Sponsor.”
	During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, we purchased $1,119 and $2,082, respectively, of sand from Hi-Crush Augusta LLC at a purchase price in excess of our production cost per ton.

Segment Reporting	'
	Segment Reporting
	The Partnership manages, operates and owns assets utilized to supply frac sand to its customers. It conducts operations through its production plant and terminal facilities which are aggregated into one reportable segment as they sell the same products, source product from frac sand production facilities in the Midwestern United States, have similar customers, use similar distribution systems and have similar economic characteristics and regulatory environments. The reporting segment of the Partnership is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance.

	The Partnership enters into take-or-pay sales contracts with customers. These contracts establish minimum annual sand volumes that the Partnership is required to make available to such customers under initial terms ranging from three to six years. Through September 30, 2013, no payments for non-delivery of minimum annual sand volumes have been made by the Partnership to these customers under these contracts.
	D&I made a commitment to purchase sand from suppliers under take-or-pay arrangements. The quantities are not in excess of current requirements.
	Hi-Crush Operating LLC, a subsidiary of the Partnership, has entered into royalty agreements under which such entity is under a commitment to pay royalties on sand sold from the Wyeville Plant for which the Partnership has received payment. Royalty expense is recorded as the sand is sold and the royalty payment is paid based on sand volumes sold and paid for by the customer. Royalty expense is included in costs of goods sold. Royalty expense was $968 and $2,566 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively, $479 for the predecessor period from July 1 through August 15, 2012, and $3,795 for the predecessor period from January 1 through August 15, 2012. Royalty expense was $479 for the successor period of August 16 to September 30, 2012.
	On July 13, 2012, the Sponsor paid $14,000 in cash to terminate one of its existing royalty agreements, including approximately $370 of outstanding obligations at the time. As a result of this payment, the Partnership is no longer required to make ongoing future royalty payments to the applicable counterparty for each ton of frac sand that is excavated, processed and sold to the Partnership’s customers from the Wyeville Plant. As part of this transaction, the Predecessor recorded an asset of $13,630, in property, plant and equipment.
	The Partnership has long-term leases for rail access, railcars and equipment at its terminal sites, which are also under long-term lease agreements with various railroads. As of September 30, 2013, future minimum operating lease payments are as follows:
	Fiscal Year	Amount
	2013 (3 months)	$	1,775
	2014	6,944
	2015	6,539
	2016	5,580
	2017	5,319
	Thereafter	12,258

	From time to time the Partnership may be subject to various claims and legal proceedings which arise in the normal course of business. Management is not aware of any legal matters that are likely to have a material adverse effect on the Partnership’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
	In May 2012, Hi-Crush Operating LLC, a subsidiary of the Partnership, entered into a supply agreement for frac sand with Baker Hughes Oilfield Operations, Inc. (“Baker Hughes”). On September 19, 2012, Baker Hughes provided notice that it was terminating the contract and on November 12, 2012, Hi-Crush Operating LLC formally terminated the supply agreement and filed suit in the State District Court of Harris County, Texas. On October 8, 2013, Hi-Crush Operating LLC entered into a settlement agreement with Baker Hughes pursuant to which Hi-Crush Operating LLC and Baker Hughes agreed to jointly dismiss the lawsuit between the parties and, in connection with the settlement, the parties entered into a six-year supply agreement that requires Baker Hughes to purchase minimum volumes of frac sand each month.
	Following the Partnership’s November 2012 announcement that Hi-Crush Operating LLC had formally terminated its supply agreement with Baker Hughes in response to the repudiation of the agreement by Baker Hughes, the Partnership, the General Partner, certain of its officers and directors and its underwriters were named as defendants in purported securities class action lawsuits brought by the Partnership’s unitholders in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. On February 11, 2013, the lawsuits were consolidated into one lawsuit, styled In re: Hi-Crush Partners L.P. Securities Litigation, No. 12-Civ-8557 (CM). A consolidated amended complaint was filed on February 15, 2013. That complaint asserts claims under sections 11, 12(a)(2), and 15 of the Securities Act, and sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) in connection with the Partnership’s Registration Statement and a subsequent presentation. Among other things, the consolidated amended complaint alleges that defendants failed to disclose to the market certain alleged information relating to Baker Hughes’ repudiation of the supply agreement. The Partnership believes the case is without merit and intends to vigorously defend itself. The Partnership has filed a motion to dismiss the complaint. The Partnership cannot provide assurance, however, as to the outcome of this lawsuit. The SEC has also asked the Partnership to provide information regarding the Baker Hughes dispute.

	The Partnership must pledge cash escrow accounts for the benefit of the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation, Bureau of Rail Freight, Ports and Waterways (“Bureau”) to guarantee performance on rail improvement projects partially funded by the Bureau. The funds are released when the project is completed.
Preferred Interest in Hi-Crush Augusta	'
	Preferred Interest in Hi-Crush Augusta
	The Partnership accounts for the preferred interest in Augusta obtained on January 31, 2013 as a cost method investment. The preferred interest is not allocated any of the periodic earnings or losses of Augusta, but may in the future convert to a 20% equity interest in that entity. In accordance with the cost method, distributions earned under the preferred interest are recognized as income on the date the cash is received by the Partnership.
Revenue Recognition	'
	Revenue Recognition
	Frac sand sales revenues are recognized when legal title passes to the customer, which may occur at the production facility, rail origin or at the destination terminal. At that point, delivery has occurred, evidence of a contractual arrangement exists and collectability is reasonably assured. Amounts received from customers in advance of sand deliveries are recorded as deferred revenue. Revenue from make-whole provisions in our customer contracts is recognized at the end of the defined cure period.
	The majority of our frac sand is sold under long-term, take-or-pay supply agreements, the current terms of which expire between 2014 and 2019. The take-or-pay agreements define, among other commitments, the volume of product that the Partnership must provide, the price that will be charged to the customer, and the volume that the customer must purchase at the end of the defined cure period, which can range from three months to the end of a contract year.
	Transportation services revenues are recognized as the services have been completed, meaning the related services have been rendered. At that point, delivery of service has occurred, evidence of a contractual arrangement exists and collectability is reasonably assured. Amounts received from customers in advance of transportation services being rendered are recorded as deferred revenue.
	Revenue attributable to silo storage leases is recorded on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.
Deferred Revenue	'
	Deferred Revenue
	In July 2012, the Sponsor received an $8,250 advance payment from a customer for a certain volume of frac sand to be delivered over the six-month period beginning in July 2012. As of August 15, 2012, the outstanding balance under this obligation was $6,590, while the cash held by the Partnership was $1,984. As a result, the Sponsor made a cash contribution of $4,606 to align the cash balance with the outstanding balance under this advance. As of December 31, 2012, the balance was $1,715, and as of September 30, 2013, no deferred revenue balance was outstanding under this advance payment.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments	'
	Fair Value of Financial Instruments
	The amounts reported in the balance sheet as current assets or liabilities, including cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities and deferred revenue approximate fair value due to the short-term maturities of these instruments. The amount recorded on the balance sheet pertaining to the Partnership’s long-term debt outstanding at September 30, 2013 is considered a Level 2 financial instrument as although there is no observable quoted price, the underlying floating rate of interest is based on a published benchmark interest rate that is observable at commonly quoted intervals. As of September 30, 2013, the carrying value of the debt approximated its fair value as it is subject to floating rate interest and there have not been any significant changes to the Partnership’s credit profile since the debt was issued in January 2013.
Net Income per Limited Partner Unit	'
	Net Income per Limited Partner Unit
	We have identified the Sponsor’s incentive distribution rights as participating securities and compute income per unit using the two-class method under which any excess of distributions declared over net income shall be allocated to the partners based on their respective sharing of income specified in the partnership agreement. Net income per unit applicable to limited partners (including subordinated unitholders) is computed by dividing limited partners’ interest in net income, after deducting any Sponsor incentive distributions, by the weighted-average number of outstanding common and subordinated units. Basic and diluted net income per unit are the same as there are no potentially dilutive common or subordinated units outstanding.
	As the 3,750,000 Class B units do not have voting rights or rights to share in the Partnership’s periodic earnings, either through participation in its distributions or through an allocation of its undistributed earnings or losses, they are not deemed to be participating securities in their current form. In addition, the conversion of the Class B units into common units is fully contingent upon the satisfaction of defined criteria pertaining to the cumulative payment of distributions and earnings per unit of the Partnership as described in Note 11. Therefore, it is possible that the Class B units may never be converted into common units. As such, until all of the defined payment and earnings criteria are satisfied, the Class B units will not be included in our calculation of either basic or diluted earnings per unit.
Income Taxes	'
	Income Taxes
	The Partnership and Sponsor are pass-through entities and are not considered taxing entities for federal tax purposes. Therefore, there is not a provision for income taxes in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements. The Partnership’s net income or loss is allocated to its partners in accordance with the partnership agreement. The partners are taxed individually on their share of the Partnership’s earnings. At September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Partnership did not have any liabilities for uncertain tax positions or gross unrecognized tax benefit.
