Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
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 statement are reflected in the interim periods presented. 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, 2015 , which are included in the Partnership’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 23, 2016 . 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. These financial statements have been prepared assuming the Partnership will continue to operate as a going concern. On a quarterly basis, the Partnership assesses whether conditions have emerged which may cast substantial doubt about the Partnership's ability to continue as a going concern for the next twelve months. Refer to Note 5 - Long-Term Debt for additional disclosure on covenant compliance under our Revolving Credit Agreement. Hi-Crush Partners LP (together with its subsidiaries, the “Partnership”, “we”, “us” or “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. The Partnership is engaged in the excavation and processing of raw frac sand for use in hydraulic fracturing operations for oil and natural gas wells. In connection with its formation, the Partnership issued a non-economic general partner interest to Hi-Crush GP LLC, our general partner (the “General Partner” or “Hi-Crush GP”), and a 100% limited partner interest to Hi-Crush Proppants LLC (the “sponsor”), its organizational limited partner.

Significant Accounting Policies

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 February 23, 2016 . Accounts Receivable Trade receivables relate to sales of raw frac sand and related services for which credit is extended based on the customer’s credit history and are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. The Partnership regularly reviews the collectability of accounts receivable. When it is probable that all or part of an outstanding balance will not be collected, the Partnership establishes or adjusts an allowance as necessary generally using the specific identification method. Account balances are charged against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and potential recovery is considered remote. As of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the Partnership maintained an allowance for doubtful accounts of $8,899 and $663 , respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2016 , the Partnership increased its allowance as the result of a spot customer filing for bankruptcy. Goodwill Goodwill represents the excess of purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired. The Partnership performs an assessment of the recoverability of goodwill during the third quarter of each fiscal year, or more often if events or circumstances indicate the impairment of an asset may exist. Our assessment of goodwill is based on qualitative factors to determine whether the fair value of the reporting unit is more likely than not less than the carrying value. An additional quantitative impairment analysis is completed if the qualitative analysis indicates that the fair value is not substantially in excess of the carrying value. The quantitative analysis determines the fair value of the reporting unit based on the discounted cash flow method and relative market-based approaches. Refer to Note 11 - Impairments and Other Expenses for additional disclosure on goodwill. 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. A substantial portion of our frac sand is sold to customers with whom we have long-term supply agreements, the current terms of which expire between 2017 and 2021 . The 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 by the end of the defined cure periods, 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. Fair Value of Financial Instruments The amounts reported in the balance sheet as current assets or liabilities, including cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued and other current liabilities approximate fair value due to the short-term maturities of these instruments. The fair value of the senior secured term loan approximated $127,400 as of March 31, 2016 , based on the market price quoted from external sources, compared with a carrying value of $196,000 . If the senior secured term loan was measured at fair value in the financial statements, it would be classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. 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 or loss shall be allocated to the partners based on their respective sharing of income specified in the partnership agreement. Net income or loss per unit applicable to limited partners is computed by dividing limited partners’ interest in net income or loss, after deducting any sponsor incentive distributions, by the weighted-average number of outstanding limited partner units. Income Taxes The Partnership is a pass-through entity and is not considered a taxing entity 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 March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 , the Partnership did not have any liabilities for uncertain tax positions or gross unrecognized tax benefits. Recent Accounting Pronouncements In March 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-09, which identifies areas for simplification involving several aspects of accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, an option to recognize gross stock compensation expense with actual forfeitures recognized as they occur, as well as certain classifications on the statement of cash flows. The new accounting guidance is effective for the Partnership beginning in the first quarter of 2017. The Partnership is currently assessing the impact that adopting this new accounting guidance will have on its Consolidated Financial Statements and footnote disclosures, but does not anticipate that adoption will have a material impact on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows. In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-02, which will impact all leases with durations greater than twelve months. In general, such arrangements will be recognized as assets and liabilities on the balance sheet of the lessee. Under the new accounting guidance a right-of-use asset and lease obligation will be recorded for all leases, whether operating or financing, while the statement of operations will reflect lease expense for operating leases and amortization/interest expense for financing leases. The balance sheet amount recorded for existing leases at the date of adoption will be calculated using the applicable incremental borrowing rate at the date of adoption. The new accounting guidance is effective for the Partnership beginning in the first quarter of 2019, and should be applied retrospectively. The Partnership is currently assessing the impact that adopting this new accounting guidance will have on its Consolidated Financial Statements and footnote disclosures. In April 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2015-03, which requires that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. However, debt issuance costs associated with any revolving credit facility remain an asset within the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The new accounting guidance was effective for the Partnership beginning in the first quarter of 2016, and was applied on a retrospective basis as a change in accounting principle. The adoption of the new accounting guidance resulted in a reclassification of debt issuance costs associated with our Term Loan Credit Facility from "Other assets" to "Long-term debt" on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets for the current and all prior periods. There was no impact on our results of operations or cash flows. As of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 , the Partnership maintained unamortized debt issuance costs of $4,150 and $4,354 within long-term debt, respectively (See Note 5 - Long-Term Debt ). During the three months ended March 31, 2016, the Partnership early adopted Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-15, which provides guidance related to management's responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an entity's ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related footnote disclosure (See Note 5 - Long-Term Debt ).

The Revolving Credit Agreement is a senior secured revolving credit facility that permits aggregate borrowings of up to $150,000 , including a $25,000 sublimit for letters of credit and a $10,000 sublimit for swing line loans. The Revolving Credit Agreement matures on April 28, 2019 . On November 5, 2015, the Partnership entered into a second amendment (the "Second Amendment") to the Revolving Credit Agreement. The Second Amendment provided for a reduction in the commitment level from $150,000 to $100,000 . On April 28, 2016 , the Partnership entered into a third amendment (the "Third Amendment") to the Revolving Credit Agreement which provides for a reduction in the commitment level to $75,000 . The Revolving Credit Agreement is secured by substantially all assets of the Partnership. In addition, the Partnership's subsidiaries have guaranteed the Partnership's obligations under the Revolving Credit Agreement and have granted to the revolving lenders security interests in substantially all of their respective assets. Borrowings under the Second Amendment to the Revolving Credit Agreement bear interest at a rate equal to a Eurodollar rate plus an applicable margin of 4.50% per annum through June 30, 2017 (the "Effective Period"). The Revolving Credit Agreement also contains customary representations and warranties and customary affirmative and negative covenants, including limits or restrictions on the Partnership’s ability to incur liens, incur indebtedness, make certain restricted payments, merge or consolidate and dispose of assets. The Second Amendment to the Revolving Credit Agreement waives the compliance of customary financial covenants, which are a leverage ratio and minimum interest coverage ratio, through the Effective Period. In addition the Second Amendment established certain minimum quarterly EBITDA covenants, allows distributions to unitholders up to 50% of quarterly distributable cash flow after quarterly debt payments on the term loan, and requires that capital expenditures during 2016 not exceed $28,000 . The Third Amendment waives the minimum quarterly EBITDA covenants, establishes a maximum EBITDA loss for the six months ending March 31, 2017 and provides for an equity cure that can be applied to EBITDA covenant ratios for 2017 and all future periods. In addition, the Revolving Credit Agreement contains customary events of default (some of which are subject to applicable grace or cure periods), including among other things, non-payment defaults, covenant defaults, cross-defaults to other material indebtedness, bankruptcy and insolvency defaults and material judgment defaults. The Third Amendment also contains an event of default should the Partnership be unable to fund $25,000 of gross equity issuance proceeds within 45 days of the effective date. On April 28, 2016 , the Partnership entered into an underwriting agreement with an investment bank for a firm commitment underwriting of a common unit offering, which is expected to fund approximately $40,000 of gross equity issuance proceeds on or about May 4, 2016. The Partnership makes no assurance regarding the successful funding of this underwriting commitment. See further discussion in Note 13 - Subsequent Events . If the Partnership is not successful in funding the $25,000 of gross equity required by the Third Amendment, such events of default could entitle the lenders to cause any or all of the Partnership’s indebtedness under the Revolving Credit Agreement to become immediately due and payable. If such a default were to occur, and resulted in a cross default of the Term Loan Credit Agreement, all of our outstanding debt obligations could be accelerated resulting in substantial doubt regarding the Partnership’s ability to meet its obligations over the next twelve months and continue as a going concern. As of March 31, 2016 , we were in compliance with the covenants contained in the Revolving Credit Agreement. Our ability to comply with such covenants in the future could be affected by the levels of cash flows from our operations and events or circumstances beyond our control. If market or other economic conditions deteriorate, our risk of non-compliance may increase. As of March 31, 2016 , we had $39,847 of undrawn borrowing capacity ( $100,000 , net of $52,500 indebtedness and $7,653 letter of credit commitments) under our Revolving Credit Agreement. Term Loan Credit Facility On April 28, 2014, the Partnership entered into a credit agreement (the "Term Loan Credit Agreement") providing for a senior secured term loan credit facility (the “Term Loan Credit Facility”) that permits aggregate borrowings of up to $200,000 , which was fully drawn on April 28, 2014. The Term Loan Credit Agreement permits the Partnership, at its option, to add one or more incremental term loan facilities in an aggregate amount not to exceed $100,000 . Any incremental term loan facility would be on terms to be agreed among the Partnership, the administrative agent and the lenders who agree to participate in the incremental facility. The maturity date of the Term Loan Credit Facility is April 28, 2021 . The Term Loan Credit Agreement is secured by substantially all assets of the Partnership. In addition, the Partnership’s subsidiaries have guaranteed the Partnership’s obligations under the Term Loan Credit Agreement and have granted to the lenders security interests in substantially all of their respective assets. Borrowings under the Term Loan Credit Agreement bear interest at a rate equal to, at the Partnership’s option, either (1) a base rate plus an applicable margin of 2.75% per annum or (2) a Eurodollar rate plus an applicable margin of 3.75% per annum, subject to a LIBOR floor of 1.00% . The Term Loan Credit Agreement contains customary representations and warranties and customary affirmative and negative covenants, including limits or restrictions on the Partnership’s ability to incur liens, incur indebtedness, make certain restricted payments, merge or consolidate and dispose of assets. In addition, it contains customary events of default that entitle the lenders to cause any or all of the Partnership’s indebtedness under the Term Loan Credit Agreement to become immediately due and payable. The events of default (some of which are subject to applicable grace or cure periods), include, among other things, non-payment defaults, covenant defaults, cross-defaults to other material indebtedness, bankruptcy and insolvency defaults and material judgment defaults. As of March 31, 2016 , we were in compliance with the terms of the agreement. As of March 31, 2016 , we had $190,391 indebtedness ( $196,000 , net of $1,459 of discounts and $4,150 of debt issuance costs) under our Term Loan Credit Facility, which carried an interest rate of 4.75% as of March 31, 2016 . Other Notes Payable On October 24, 2014, the Partnership entered into a purchase and sales agreement to acquire land and underlying frac sand deposits. Through March 31, 2016, the Partnership paid total cash consideration of $5,000 , and issued two three -year promissory notes in the amounts of $3,676 , each, in connection with this agreement. The three-year promissory notes accrue interest at a rate equal to the applicable short-term federal rate, which was 0.75% as of March 31, 2016 . All principal and accrued interest is due and payable at the end of the three-year note terms in October 2017 and December 2018, respectively. However, the notes may be prepaid on a quarterly basis during the three-year terms if sand is extracted, delivered, sold and paid for from the properties. During the three months ended March 31, 2016 , the Partnership made a prepayment of $1,258 based on the volume of sand extracted, delivered, sold and paid for during the fourth quarter of 2015. In the second quarter of 2016, the Partnership will make a prepayment of approximately $816 based on the volume of sand extracted, delivered, sold and paid for through the first quarter of 2016. We did not make any prepayments during the three months ended March 31, 2015 .

Equity

Equity	3 Months Ended

Equity [Abstract]
Equity	Equity As of March 31, 2016 , our sponsor owned 13,640,351 common units, representing a 36.8% ownership interest in the limited partner units. In addition, our sponsor is the owner of our General Partner. 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. Allocations of Net Income Our partnership agreement contains provisions for the allocation of net income and loss to the 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. During the three months ended March 31, 2016 , no income was allocated to our holders of incentive distribution rights. During the three months ended March 31, 2015 , $1,311 was allocated to our holders of incentive distribution rights. Distributions Our partnership agreement sets forth the calculation to be used to determine the amount of cash distributions that our limited partner unitholders and our holders of incentive distribution rights will receive. Our recent distributions have been as follows: Declaration Date Amount Declared Per Unit Record Date Payment Date Payment to Limited Partner Units Payment to Holders of Incentive Distribution Rights January 15, 2015 $ 0.6750 January 30, 2015 February 13, 2015 $ 24,947 $ 1,311 April 16, 2015 $ 0.6750 May 1, 2015 May 15, 2015 $ 24,947 $ 1,311 July 21, 2015 $ 0.4750 August 5, 2015 August 14, 2015 $ 17,555 $ — On October 26, 2015, we announced the Board of Directors' decision to temporarily suspend the distribution payment to common unitholders. No quarterly distributions were declared for the first quarter of 2016, as the Partnership continued its distribution suspension to conserve cash. Net Income per Limited Partner Unit The following table outlines our basic and diluted, weighted average limited partner units outstanding during the relevant periods: Three Months Ended March 31, 2016 2015 Basic 37,035,068 36,958,227 Diluted 37,035,068 37,201,044 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 previously outstanding subordinated units were treated as the residual equity interest, or common equity. Incentive distribution rights are treated as participating securities. Diluted earnings per unit excludes any dilutive awards granted (see Note 7 ) if their effect is anti-dilutive. During the three months ended March 31, 2016 , the Partnership incurred a net loss and all 211,190 potentially dilutive awards granted and outstanding were excluded from the diluted earnings per unit calculation. Diluted earnings per unit for the three months ended March 31, 2016 includes the dilutive effect of awards granted and outstanding at the assumed number of units which would have vested if the performance period had ended on March 31, 2016 . 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. Each period the Partnership determines the amount of cash available for distributions in accordance with the partnership agreement. The amount to be distributed to limited partner unitholders and incentive distribution rights holders is subject to the distribution waterfall in the partnership agreement. Net earnings or loss for the period are allocated to each class of partnership interest based on the distributions to be made. The following table provides a reconciliation of net loss and the assumed allocation of net loss under the two-class method for purposes of computing net loss per limited partner unit for the three months ended March 31, 2016 (in thousands, except per unit amounts): General Partner and IDRs Limited Partner Units Total Declared distribution $ — $ — $ — Assumed allocation of distributions in excess of loss — (51,494 ) (51,494 ) Assumed allocation of net loss $ — $ (51,494 ) $ (51,494 ) Loss per limited partner unit - basic $ (1.39 ) Loss per limited partner unit - diluted $ (1.39 )

Disclosure of Compensation Related Costs, Share-based Payments [Abstract]
Unit-Based Compensation	Unit-Based Compensation 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. The cost of services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments is measured based on the grant-date fair value of the award and that cost is generally recognized over the vesting period of the award. Performance Phantom Units - Equity Settled The Partnership has awarded Performance Phantom Units ("PPUs") pursuant to the Plan to certain employees. The number of PPUs that will vest will range from 0% to 200% of the number of initially granted PPUs and is dependent on the Partnership's total unitholder return over a three -year performance period compared to the total unitholder return of a designated peer group. Each PPU represents the right to receive, upon vesting, one common unit representing limited partner interests in the Partnership. The PPUs are also entitled to forfeitable distribution equivalent rights ("DERs"), which accumulate during the performance period and are paid in cash on the date of settlement. The fair value of each PPU is estimated using a fair value approach and is amortized into compensation expense, reduced for an estimate of expected forfeitures, over the period of service corresponding with the vesting period. Expected volatility is based on the historical market performance of our peer group. The following table presents information relative to our PPUs. Units Grant Date Weighted-Average Fair Value per Unit Outstanding at January 1, 2016 136,570 $ 46.85 Granted — $ — Outstanding at March 31, 2016 136,570 $ 46.85 As of March 31, 2016 , total compensation expense not yet recognized related to unvested PPUs was $2,889 , with a weighted average remaining service period of 1.4 years . Time-Based Phantom Units - Equity Settled The Partnership has awarded Time-Based Phantom Units ("TPUs") pursuant to the Plan to certain employees which automatically vest if the employee remains employed at the end of a three -year vesting period. Each TPU represents the right to receive, upon vesting, one common unit representing limited partner interests in the Partnership. The TPUs are also entitled to forfeitable DERs, which accumulate during the vesting period and are paid in cash on the date of settlement. The fair value of each TPU is calculated based on the grant-date unit price and is amortized into compensation expense, reduced for an estimate of expected forfeitures, over the period of service corresponding with the vesting period. The following table presents information relative to our TPUs. Units Grant Date Weighted-Average Fair Value per Unit Outstanding at January 1, 2016 55,320 $ 37.63 Vested (200 ) $ 46.58 Granted 20,000 $ 4.55 Forfeited (500 ) $ 39.09 Outstanding at March 31, 2016 74,620 $ 28.73 As of March 31, 2016 , total compensation expense not yet recognized related to unvested TPUs was $1,267 , with a weighted average remaining service period of 2.0 years . Board Unit Grants The Partnership issued 103,377 and 6,344 common units to certain of its directors during the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 , respectively. Unit Purchase Program During 2015, the Partnership commenced a unit purchase program ("UPP") offered under the Plan. The UPP provides participating employees and members of our board of directors the opportunity to purchase common units representing limited partner interests of the Partnership at a discount. Non-director employees contribute through payroll deductions not to exceed 35% of the employees eligible compensation during the applicable offering period. Directors contribute through cash contributions not to exceed $150 in aggregate. If the closing price of the Partnership's common units on February 28, 2017 (the "Purchase Date Price") is greater than or equal to 90% of the closing market price of our common units on a participant's applicable election date (the "Election Price"), then the participant will receive a number of common units equal to the amount of accumulated payroll deductions or cash contributions, as applicable, (the “Contribution”) divided by the Election Price, capped at 20,000 common units. If the Purchase Date Price is less than the Election Price, then the participant’s Contribution will be returned to the participant. On the date of election, the Partnership calculates the fair value of the discount, which is recognized as unit compensation expense on a straight-line basis during the period from election date through the date of purchase. As of March 31, 2016 , total accumulated contributions of $403 from directors under the UPP is maintained within the “Accrued and Other Current Liabilities” line item in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. Compensation Expense The following table presents total unit-based compensation expense: Three Months Ended March 31, 2016 2015 Performance Phantom Units $ 582 $ 664 Time-Based Phantom Units 187 147 Director and other unit grants 122 73 Unit Purchase Program 39 — Total compensation expense $ 930 $ 884

Related Party Transactions [Abstract]
Related Party Transactions	Related Party Transactions Effective August 16, 2012, our sponsor entered into a services agreement (the “Services Agreement”) with our 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, administrative, rent and other 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. During the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 , the Partnership incurred $947 and $644 , respectively, of management and administrative service expenses from Hi-Crush Services. 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. As of March 31, 2016 , an outstanding balance of $3,116 payable to our sponsor is maintained as a current liability under the caption “Due to sponsor”. During the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 , the Partnership purchased $6,948 and $7,054 , respectively, of sand in total from Hi-Crush Whitehall LLC and Hi-Crush Blair LLC, subsidiaries of our sponsor and the entities that respectively own the sponsor's Whitehall and Blair facilities, at a purchase price in excess of our production cost per ton. During the three months ended March 31, 2015 , the Partnership purchased $2,425 of sand from Goose Landing, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Northern Frac Proppants II, LLC. We did not purchase any sand from Goose Landing, LLC, during the three months ended March 31, 2016 . The father of Mr. Alston, who is our general partner's Chief Operating Officer, owned a beneficial equity interest in Northern Frac Proppants II, LLC. The terms of the purchase price were the result of arm's length negotiations. During the three months ended March 31, 2016 and throughout 2014 and 2015, the Partnership engaged in multiple construction projects and purchased equipment, machinery and component parts from various vendors that were represented by Alston Environmental Company, Inc. or Alston Equipment Company (“Alston Companies”), which regularly represent vendors in such transactions. The vendors in question paid a commission to the Alston Companies in an amount that is unknown to the Partnership. The sister of Mr. Alston, who is our general partner's Chief Operating Officer, owns a beneficial interest in the Alston Companies. The Partnership has not paid any sum directly to the Alston Companies and Mr. Alston has represented to the Partnership that he received no compensation from the Alston Companies related to these transactions. All purchases from the vendors in question were the result of arm’s length negotiations.

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Commitments and Contingencies	Commitments and Contingencies The Partnership enters into 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 March 31, 2016 , no payments for non-delivery of minimum annual sand volumes have been made by the Partnership to customers under these contracts. D & I Silica, LLC ("D&I") has entered into a long-term supply agreement with a supplier (the "Sand Supply Agreement"), which includes a requirement to purchase certain volumes and grades of sands at specified prices. The quantities set forth in such agreement are not in excess of our current requirements. The Partnership has entered into royalty agreements under which it is committed to pay royalties on sand sold from its production facilities for which the Partnership has received payment by the customer. Royalty expense is recorded as the sand is sold and is included in costs of goods sold. Royalty expense was $517 and $3,502 for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 , respectively. On October 24, 2014, the Partnership entered into a purchase and sale agreement to acquire certain tracts of land and specific quantities of the underlying frac sand deposits. The transaction includes three separate tranches of land and deposits, to be acquired over a three -year period from 2014 through 2016. Through March 31, 2016 , the Partnership acquired two tranches of land for $12,352 and has committed to purchase the remaining tranche during 2016 for total consideration of $6,176 . The Partnership has long-term leases for railcars and equipment used at its terminal sites, some of which are also under long-term lease agreements with various railroads. We have entered into service agreements with transload service providers which require us to purchase minimum amount of services over specific periods of time at specific locations. Our failure to purchase the minimum level of services would require us to pay shortfall fees. However, the minimum quantities set forth in the agreements are not in excess of our current forecasted requirements at these locations. As of March 31, 2016 , future minimum operating lease payments and minimum purchase commitments are as follows: Fiscal Year Operating Leases Minimum Purchase Commitments 2016 (nine months) $ 19,738 $ 2,111 2017 26,839 2,836 2018 25,936 1,576 2019 23,703 1,866 2020 16,569 2,296 Thereafter 21,237 6,701 $ 134,022 $ 17,386 In addition, the Partnership has placed orders for additional leased railcars. Such long-term operating leases commence upon the future delivery of the railcars, which will result in additional future minimum operating lease payments. During the next two years, we expect to receive delivery of approximately 700 additional leased railcars. Following delivery of these additional railcars, we estimate our 2019 annual minimum lease payments will increase to approximately $29,000 . 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.

Restructuring and Related Activities [Abstract]
Impairments and Other Expenses	Impairments and Other Expenses Our goodwill arose from the acquisition of D&I in 2013 and is therefore allocated to the D&I reporting unit. We performed our annual assessment of the recoverability of goodwill during the third quarter of 2015. Although we had seen a significant decrease in the price of our common units since August 2014, which had resulted in an overall reduction in our market capitalization, our market capitalization exceeded our recorded net book value as of September 30, 2015. We updated our internal business outlook of the D&I reporting unit to consider the current economic environment that affects our operations. As part of the first step of goodwill impairment testing, we updated our assessment of our future cash flows, applying expected long-term growth rates, discount rates, and terminal values that we considered reasonable. We calculated a present value of the cash flows to arrive at an estimate of fair value under the income approach, and then used the market approach to corroborate this value. As a result of these estimates, we determined that there was no impairment of goodwill as of our annual assessment date. Specific uncertainties affecting our estimated fair value include the impact of competition, the price of frac sand, future overall activity levels and demand for frac sand, activity levels of our significant customers, and other factors affecting the rate of our future growth. These factors were reviewed and assessed during the fourth quarter of 2015 and we determined that there was no impairment of goodwill as of December 31, 2015. However, uncertain market conditions for frac sand resulting from current oil and natural gas prices continue. During the three months ended March 31, 2016, volumes sold through the D&I reporting unit declined below previously forecasted levels and pricing deteriorated further. Industry demand for frac sand has continued to decline as the reported Baker Hughes oil rig count in North America fell to 362 rigs as of March 31, 2016, marking a 2016 year-to-date decline of more than 30% . Our customers continue to face uncertainty related to activity levels and have reduced their active frac crews, resulting in further declines in well completion activity. Therefore, as of March 31, 2016, we determined that the state of market conditions and activity levels indicated that an impairment of goodwill may exist. As a result, we assessed qualitative factors and determined that we could not conclude it was more likely than not that the fair value of goodwill exceeded its carrying value. In turn, we prepared a quantitative analysis of the fair value of the goodwill as of March 31, 2016, based on the weighted average valuation across several income and market based valuation approaches. The underlying results of the valuation were driven by our actual results during the three months ended March 31, 2016 and the pricing, costs structures and market conditions existing as of March 31, 2016, which were below our forecasts at the time of the previous goodwill assessments. Other key estimates, assumptions and inputs used in the valuation included long-term growth rates, discounts rates, terminal values, valuation multiples and relative valuations when comparing the reporting unit to similar businesses or asset bases. Upon completion of the Step 1 and Step 2 valuation exercises, it was determined that a $33,745 impairment loss of all goodwill was incurred during the three months ended March 31, 2016, which was equal to the difference between the carrying value and estimated fair value of goodwill. The Partnership did not recognize any impairment losses for goodwill during the three months ended March 31, 2015. We recognized impairments and other expenses as outlined in the following table: Three Months Ended March 31, 2016 2015 Impairment of Goodwill $ 33,745 $ — Severance, retention and relocation 2 — Impairments and other expenses $ 33,747 $ —

Subsequent Events [Abstract]
Subsequent Events	Subsequent Events On April 28, 2016 , the Partnership entered into a third amendment to our Revolving Credit Agreement. The amendment, among other things, provides for a reduction in the commitment level from $100,000 to $75,000 , waives the minimum quarterly EBITDA covenants and establishes a maximum EBITDA loss for the six months ending March 31, 2017. The amendment also provides for an equity cure that can be applied to EBITDA covenant ratios for 2017 and all future periods. On April 28, 2016 , the Partnership entered into an underwriting agreement with an investment bank for a firm commitment underwriting of a common unit offering, which is expected to fund approximately $40,000 of gross equity issuance proceeds on or about May 4, 2016. Under the terms and subject to the conditions in the underwriting agreement the investment bank is obligated to purchase all the common units in the offering if any are purchased, other than those shares covered by an option to purchase additional shares therein. The underwriting agreement contains customary conditions precedent and termination events. The Partnership makes no assurance regarding the successful completion of the common unit offering. Proceeds from the common unit offering will be used for general partnership purposes.

Significant Accounting Polici20

Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)	3 Months Ended

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Accounts Receivable	Accounts Receivable Trade receivables relate to sales of raw frac sand and related services for which credit is extended based on the customer’s credit history and are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. The Partnership regularly reviews the collectability of accounts receivable. When it is probable that all or part of an outstanding balance will not be collected, the Partnership establishes or adjusts an allowance as necessary generally using the specific identification method. Account balances are charged against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and potential recovery is considered remote. As of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the Partnership maintained an allowance for doubtful accounts of $8,899 and $663 , respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2016 , the Partnership increased its allowance as the result of a spot customer filing for bankruptcy.
Goodwill	Goodwill Goodwill represents the excess of purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired. The Partnership performs an assessment of the recoverability of goodwill during the third quarter of each fiscal year, or more often if events or circumstances indicate the impairment of an asset may exist. Our assessment of goodwill is based on qualitative factors to determine whether the fair value of the reporting unit is more likely than not less than the carrying value. An additional quantitative impairment analysis is completed if the qualitative analysis indicates that the fair value is not substantially in excess of the carrying value. The quantitative analysis determines the fair value of the reporting unit based on the discounted cash flow method and relative market-based approaches.
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. A substantial portion of our frac sand is sold to customers with whom we have long-term supply agreements, the current terms of which expire between 2017 and 2021 . The 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 by the end of the defined cure periods, 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.
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 and other current liabilities approximate fair value due to the short-term maturities of these instruments. The fair value of the senior secured term loan approximated $127,400 as of March 31, 2016 , based on the market price quoted from external sources, compared with a carrying value of $196,000 . If the senior secured term loan was measured at fair value in the financial statements, it would be classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.
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 or loss shall be allocated to the partners based on their respective sharing of income specified in the partnership agreement. Net income or loss per unit applicable to limited partners is computed by dividing limited partners’ interest in net income or loss, after deducting any sponsor incentive distributions, by the weighted-average number of outstanding limited partner units.
Income Taxes	Income Taxes The Partnership is a pass-through entity and is not considered a taxing entity 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 March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 , the Partnership did not have any liabilities for uncertain tax positions or gross unrecognized tax benefits.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements	Recent Accounting Pronouncements In March 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-09, which identifies areas for simplification involving several aspects of accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, an option to recognize gross stock compensation expense with actual forfeitures recognized as they occur, as well as certain classifications on the statement of cash flows. The new accounting guidance is effective for the Partnership beginning in the first quarter of 2017. The Partnership is currently assessing the impact that adopting this new accounting guidance will have on its Consolidated Financial Statements and footnote disclosures, but does not anticipate that adoption will have a material impact on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows. In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-02, which will impact all leases with durations greater than twelve months. In general, such arrangements will be recognized as assets and liabilities on the balance sheet of the lessee. Under the new accounting guidance a right-of-use asset and lease obligation will be recorded for all leases, whether operating or financing, while the statement of operations will reflect lease expense for operating leases and amortization/interest expense for financing leases. The balance sheet amount recorded for existing leases at the date of adoption will be calculated using the applicable incremental borrowing rate at the date of adoption. The new accounting guidance is effective for the Partnership beginning in the first quarter of 2019, and should be applied retrospectively. The Partnership is currently assessing the impact that adopting this new accounting guidance will have on its Consolidated Financial Statements and footnote disclosures. In April 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2015-03, which requires that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. However, debt issuance costs associated with any revolving credit facility remain an asset within the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The new accounting guidance was effective for the Partnership beginning in the first quarter of 2016, and was applied on a retrospective basis as a change in accounting principle. The adoption of the new accounting guidance resulted in a reclassification of debt issuance costs associated with our Term Loan Credit Facility from "Other assets" to "Long-term debt" on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets for the current and all prior periods. There was no impact on our results of operations or cash flows. As of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 , the Partnership maintained unamortized debt issuance costs of $4,150 and $4,354 within long-term debt, respectively (See Note 5 - Long-Term Debt ). During the three months ended March 31, 2016, the Partnership early adopted Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-15, which provides guidance related to management's responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an entity's ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related footnote disclosure (See Note 5 - Long-Term Debt ).
