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 Hi-Crush Partners LP (together with its subsidiaries, the "Partnership", "we", "us" or "our") 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 normal and recurring 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, 2016 , which are included in the Partnership’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 21, 2017 , as amended by the Partnership's Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on May 1, 2017. The year-end balance sheet data was derived from the audited financial statements. 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 following the issuance of the interim statements. Hi-Crush Partners LP 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. On August 9, 2016, the Partnership entered into a contribution agreement with the sponsor to acquire all of the outstanding membership interests in Hi-Crush Blair LLC ("Blair"), the entity that owned our sponsor's Blair facility, for $75,000 in cash, 7,053,292 of newly issued common units in the Partnership, and payment of up to $10,000 of contingent consideration (the "Blair Contribution"). The Partnership completed the acquisition of the Blair facility on August 31, 2016. On February 23, 2017, the Partnership entered into a contribution agreement with our sponsor to acquire all of the outstanding membership interests in Hi-Crush Whitehall LLC ("Whitehall"), the entity that owned our sponsor’s Whitehall facility, the remaining 2.0% equity interest in Hi-Crush Augusta LLC ("Augusta"), and all of the outstanding membership interests in PDQ Properties LLC (together, the "Other Assets"), for $140,000 in cash and up to $65,000 of contingent consideration over a two -year period (the "Whitehall Contribution"). The Partnership completed this acquisition on March 15, 2017. The Blair Contribution and Whitehall Contribution were accounted for as transactions between entities under common control whereby the net assets of Blair, Whitehall and Other Assets were recorded at their historical cost. Therefore, the Partnership's historical financial information was recast to combine Blair, Whitehall and Other Assets with the Partnership as if the combinations had been in effect since inception of the common control. Refer to Note 3 - Acquisitions for additional disclosure regarding the Blair Contribution and Whitehall Contribution.

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 21, 2017 . 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 September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 , the Partnership maintained an allowance for doubtful accounts of $1,060 and $1,549 , respectively. Deferred Charges Certain direct costs incurred in connection with debt financing have been capitalized and are being amortized using the straight-line method, which approximates the effective interest method, over the life of the debt. Amortization expense is included in interest expense. 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 regarding goodwill. Equity Method Investments The Partnership accounts for investments, which it does not control but has the ability to exercise significant influence, using the equity method of accounting. Under this method, the investment is carried originally at cost, increased by any allocated share of the Partnership's net income and contributions made, and decreased by any allocated share of the Partnership's net losses and distributions received. The Partnership's allocated share of income and losses are based on the rights and priorities outlined in the equity investment agreement. On September 8, 2016, the Partnership entered into an agreement to become a member of Proppant Express Investments, LLC ("PropX"), which was established to develop critical last-mile logistics equipment for the proppant industry. PropX is responsible for manufacturing containers and conveyor systems that allow for transportation of frac sand from in-basin terminals to the well site. As of September 30, 2017 , the Partnership's investment basis in PropX was $14,258 , which is accounted for as an equity method investment as the Partnership has a non-controlling interest in PropX, but has the ability to exercise significant influence. During the three months ended September 30, 2017 , the Partnership made no capital contributions to PropX and recognized earnings of $128 from its proportionate share of PropX's operating results during the three month period. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017 , the Partnership made capital contributions of $4,168 to PropX and incurred a loss of $142 from its proportionate share of PropX's operating results during the nine month period. Contingent Consideration Accounting standards require that contingent consideration be recorded at fair value at the date of acquisition and revalued during subsequent reporting dates under the acquisition method of accounting. In connection with its recent acquisitions of Blair and Whitehall and Other Assets from its sponsor, the Partnership has entered into certain contingent consideration arrangements. As such transactions are between entities under common control, any differences between the calculated fair value, and the actual resulting payments in the future will be reflected as an equity adjustment to the deemed distributions associated with the acquisitions. Revenue Recognition Frac sand sales revenues are recognized when legal title passes to the customer, which may occur at the production facility, rail origin, terminal or well site. 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 when collectability is certain. Customer prepayments in excess of customer obligations remaining on account upon the termination of a contract are recognized as other operating income during the period in which the termination occurs. During the three months ended September 30, 2017, the Partnership recognized $3,554 related to the termination of a contract, which is included in other operating income on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. 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 2018 and 2024 . 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. 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 $190,068 as of September 30, 2017 , based on the market price quoted from external sources, compared with a carrying value of $193,000 . 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. As described in Note 1 , the Partnership's historical financial information has been recast to combine Blair, Whitehall and Other Assets for all periods presented. The amounts of incremental income or losses recast to periods prior to the Blair Contribution and Whitehall Contribution are excluded from the calculation of net income per limited partner unit. Income Taxes The Partnership is a pass-through entity and is not considered a taxable 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 September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 , the Partnership did not have any liabilities for uncertain tax positions or gross unrecognized tax benefits. Recent Accounting Pronouncements In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2014-09, an update that supersedes the most current revenue recognition guidance, as well as some cost recognition guidance. The update requires that an entity recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. This update also requires new qualitative and quantitative disclosures about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments, information about contract balances and performance obligations, and assets recognized from costs incurred to obtain or fulfill a contract. The authoritative guidance, which may be applied on a full retrospective or modified retrospective basis whereby the entity records a cumulative effect of initially applying this update at the date of initial application, will be effective for the Partnership beginning January 1, 2018. The FASB has also issued the following standards which clarify ASU 2014-09 and have the same effective date as the original standard: ASU 2016-12, Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients, ASU 2016-10 Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing and ASU 2017-13, Revenue Recognition (Topic 605), Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), Leases (Topic 840), and Leases (Topic 842). The Partnership is currently assessing the potential impacts of the adoption of ASU 2014-09. Although we are still in the process of documenting our assessment of our contracts and the impact to our disclosure requirements, the Partnership does not anticipate a material impact on its revenue recognition practices. The Partnership generates revenue by excavating, processing and delivering frac sand and providing related services and recognizes revenue at the point of delivery to customers, at which point the earnings process is deemed to be complete. We currently intend to adopt ASU 2014-09 using the full retrospective approach. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 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 FASB has also issued the following standard which clarifies ASU 2016-02 and has the same effective date as the original standard: ASU 2017-13, Revenue Recognition (Topic 605), Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), Leases (Topic 840), and Leases (Topic 842). The Partnership is currently assessing the impact that adopting this new accounting guidance will have on its Consolidated Financial Statements and footnote disclosures.

Business Combinations [Abstract]
Acquisitions	Acquisitions Asset Acquisition of Permian Basin Sand Reserves On March 3, 2017, the Partnership completed an acquisition of Permian Basin Sand Company, LLC ("Permian Basin Sand") for total consideration of $200,000 in cash and 3,438,789 newly issued common units to the sellers, valued at $62,242 based on the closing price as of March 3, 2017. Permian Basin Sand owns a 1,226 -acre frac sand reserve strategically positioned in the Permian Basin, located within 75 miles of significant Delaware and Midland Basin activity. The acquisition of Permian Basin Sand was accounted for as an asset acquisition as the acquired assets did not constitute a business. The total purchase consideration of $263,072 is reflected as property, plant and equipment on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. The following table summarizes the total purchase consideration: Cash paid to sellers $ 200,000 Issuance of common units to sellers 62,242 Transactions costs associated with the acquisition 830 Cost of Permian Basin Sand acquisition $ 263,072 Acquisition of Hi-Crush Whitehall LLC and Other Assets On February 23, 2017, the Partnership entered into a contribution agreement with our sponsor to acquire all of the outstanding membership interests in Whitehall and Other Assets, for $140,000 in cash and up to $65,000 of contingent consideration over a two -year period. The Partnership completed this acquisition on March 15, 2017. In connection with this acquisition, the Partnership incurred $588 of acquisition related costs during the nine months ended September 30, 2017, included in general and administrative expenses. The contingent consideration is based on the Partnership's adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("Adjusted EBITDA") exceeding certain thresholds for each of the fiscal years ending December 31, 2017 and 2018. If those annual thresholds are met, the Partnership will pay an additional $20,000 for each threshold met or exceeded. If the Partnership exceeds a total threshold for the cumulative two -year period, then it will pay an additional $25,000 , for an undiscounted total of up to $65,000 to be paid in cash or common units at the Partnership's discretion. As of March 15, 2017, the estimated fair value of the contingent consideration liability based on available information was $14,000 , as reflected in other liabilities on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. Refer to Note 7 - Commitments and Contingencies for additional disclosure regarding the contingent consideration. As a result of this transaction, the Partnership's historical financial information has been recast to combine the Consolidated Statements of Operations and the Consolidated Balance Sheets of the Partnership with those of Whitehall and Other Assets as if the combination had been in effect since inception of common control on August 16, 2012. Any material transactions between the Partnership, Whitehall and Other Assets have been eliminated. The balance of non-controlling interest as of December 31, 2016 includes the sponsor's interest in Whitehall and Other Assets prior to the combination. Except for the combination of the Consolidated Statements of Operations and the respective allocation of recast net income (loss), capital transactions between the sponsor and Whitehall and Other Assets prior to March 15, 2017 have not been allocated on a recast basis to the Partnership’s unitholders. Such transactions are presented within the non-controlling interest column in the Consolidated Statement of Partners' Capital as the Partnership and its unitholders would not have participated in these transactions. The following table summarizes the carrying value of the Whitehall and Other Assets net assets as of March 15, 2017, and the allocation of the purchase price: Net assets of Hi-Crush Whitehall LLC and Other Assets as of March 15, 2017: Cash $ 198 Inventories 4,941 Prepaid expenses and other current assets 3 Property, plant and equipment 124,811 Accounts payable (938 ) Accrued liabilities and other current liabilities (386 ) Due to Hi-Crush Partners LP (2,615 ) Asset retirement obligation (1,716 ) Total carrying value of Whitehall and Other Assets net assets $ 124,298 Allocation of purchase price Carrying value of sponsor's non-controlling interest prior to Whitehall Contribution $ 119,108 Excess purchase price over the acquired interest (a) 34,892 Cost of Whitehall and Other Assets acquisition $ 154,000 (a) The deemed distribution attributable to the purchase price was allocated to the common unitholders and excludes the $14,000 estimated fair value of contingent consideration payable in the future. Acquisition of Hi-Crush Blair LLC On August 9, 2016, the Partnership entered into a contribution agreement with our sponsor to acquire all of the outstanding membership interests in Blair, the entity that owned our sponsor’s Blair facility, for $75,000 in cash, 7,053,292 of newly issued common units in the Partnership, and payment of up to $10,000 of contingent consideration (the "Blair Contribution"). The Partnership completed the acquisition of the Blair facility on August 31, 2016. In connection with this acquisition, the Partnership incurred $850 of acquisition related costs during the year ended December 31, 2016. The contingent consideration is based on the Partnership's adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("Adjusted EBITDA") exceeding certain thresholds for each of the fiscal years ending December 31, 2017 and 2018. If the Partnership exceeds either or both of the respective thresholds, then it will pay an additional $5,000 for each threshold met or exceeded, for an undiscounted total of up to $10,000 . As of August 31, 2016, the estimated fair value of the contingent consideration liability based on available information was $5,000 , as reflected in other liabilities on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. Refer to Note 7 - Commitments and Contingencies for additional disclosure regarding the contingent consideration. As a result of this transaction, the Partnership's historical financial information has been recast to combine the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets of the Partnership with those of Blair as if the combination had been in effect since inception of common control on July 31, 2014. Any material transactions between the Partnership and Blair have been eliminated. Except for the combination of the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and the respective allocation of recast net income (loss), capital transactions between the sponsor and Blair prior to August 31, 2016 have not been allocated on a recast basis to the Partnership’s unitholders. Such transactions were allocated to non-controlling interest as the Partnership and its unitholders would not have participated in these transactions.

On April 28, 2016, the Partnership entered into a third amendment (the "Third Amendment"). On August 31, 2016, the Partnership entered into a fourth amendment to the Revolving Credit Agreement, which allowed for the Blair Contribution. On March 3, 2017, the Partnership entered into a fifth amendment to the Revolving Credit Agreement, which allowed for the Whitehall Contribution and the acquisition of Permian Basin Sand. On October 12, 2017 , the Partnership entered into a sixth amendment to the Revolving Credit Agreement, which allows the Partnership for repurchases of common units up to $20,000 (see Note 13 - Subsequent Events ). As of September 30, 2017 , the Revolving Credit Agreement, as amended, is a senior secured revolving credit facility that permits aggregate borrowings of up to $75,000 , including a $25,000 sublimit for letters of credit and a $10,000 sublimit for swing line loans. The outstanding balance under the Revolving Credit Agreement was paid in full during the second quarter of 2016. As of September 30, 2017 , we had $58,234 of undrawn borrowing capacity ( $75,000 , net of $16,766 letter of credit commitments) and no indebtedness under our Revolving Credit Agreement. Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Agreement, as amended, bear interest at a rate equal to, at the Partnership's option, either (1) a base rate plus an applicable margin ranging between 1.25% per annum and 2.50% per annum, based upon the Partnership's leverage ratio, or (2) a Eurodollar rate plus an applicable margin ranging between 2.25% per annum and 3.50% per annum, based upon the Partnership's leverage ratio. The Revolving 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. The Revolving Credit Agreement also requires compliance with customary financial covenants, which is a maximum leverage ratio of 4.5 x for the six months ending September 30, 2017 annualized, 4.0 x for the nine months ending December 31, 2017 annualized, and 3.5 x for the twelve months ending March 31, 2018 and thereafter, and a minimum interest coverage ratio, as defined, of 2.5 x for each fiscal quarter ending on or after June 30, 2017. We are in compliance with the covenants contained in the Revolving Credit Agreement. Our ability to comply with such covenants in the future, and access our undrawn borrowing capacity under our Revolving Credit Agreement, is dependent primarily on achieving certain levels of EBITDA, as defined. The Third Amendment also provides for an "equity cure" that can be applied to EBITDA covenant ratios for 2017 and all future periods. On January 4, 2017, the Partnership entered into an equity distribution program with certain financial institutions (each, a "Manager") under which we may sell, from time to time, through or to the Managers, common units representing limited partner interests in the Partnership up to an aggregate gross sales price of $50,000 (see Note 8 - Equity ). 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. 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, as described below, all of our outstanding debt obligations could be accelerated which would have a material adverse impact on the Partnership. 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. 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 has been 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 September 30, 2017 , we were in compliance with the terms of the agreement. As of September 30, 2017 , we had $189,039 indebtedness ( $193,000 , net of $1,035 of discounts and $2,926 of debt issuance costs) under our Term Loan Credit Facility, which carried an interest rate of 5.05% . Other Notes Payable On October 24, 2014, the Partnership entered into a purchase and sales agreement to acquire land and underlying frac sand deposits. During each of the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, the Partnership paid cash consideration of $2,500 , and issued a three -year promissory note in the amount of $3,676 , respectively, in connection with this agreement. The promissory notes accrue interest at rates equal to the applicable short-term federal rates. All principal and accrued interest is due and payable at the end of the respective three-year promissory note terms in December 2019, December 2018 and October 2017. However, the promissory notes are prepaid on a quarterly basis during the three-year terms as sand is extracted, delivered, sold and paid for from the properties. The Partnership made prepayments of $1,032 and $917 during the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 , respectively, and $2,514 and $2,851 during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 , respectively, based on the accumulated volume of sand extracted, delivered, sold and paid for. In October 2017, the Partnership made a prepayment of $1,137 based on the volume of sand extracted, delivered, sold and paid for through the third quarter of 2017 . As of September 30, 2017 , the Partnership had repaid in full the promissory note due in October 2017 and had $4,191 outstanding on its remaining promissory notes, which carry interest rates ranging from 0.56% to 0.74% .

Commitments and Contingencies

Commitments and Contingencies	9 Months Ended

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Commitments and Contingencies	Commitments and Contingencies Customer Contracts 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 seven years. Through September 30, 2017 , no payments for non-delivery of minimum annual sand volumes have been made by the Partnership to customers under these contracts. Supplier 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. Royalty Agreements 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 $5,447 and $2,011 for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 , respectively, and $13,085 and $4,235 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 , respectively. Certain acreage is subject to a minimum annual royalty payment. If not paid within 30 days after the annual period, the original landowner has the right to purchase the property for one dollar, subject to certain terms. If we have not made the minimum required royalty payments, we may satisfy our obligation by making a lump-sum cash make-whole payment. Accordingly, we believe there is no material risk that we will be required to sell back the subject property pursuant to this agreement. During the year ended December 31, 2016, the Partnership entered into an agreement to terminate certain existing royalty obligations for $6,750 , of which $3,375 was paid during each of September 2017 and 2016. As a result of this agreement, the Partnership reduced its ongoing future royalty payments to the applicable counterparties for each ton of frac sand that is excavated, processed and sold to the Partnership’s customers. As part of this transaction, we recorded an asset of $6,750 , as reflected in property, plant and equipment on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. Property Value Guarantees The Partnership entered into mining agreements and land use agreements with the Wisconsin municipalities of Bridge Creek, Lincoln, Springfield and Preston that contain property value guarantees ("PVG") for certain property owners in proximity to each mine. The respective PVGs establish a process whereby we guaranty fair market value to the owners of residential property specifically identified within the body of the PVG document. According to the terms of the PVGs, the property owner must notify us in the event they wish to sell the subject residence and additional acreage in certain instances. Upon such notice, the PVGs establish a process by which an appraisal is conducted and the subject property is appraised to establish fair market value and is listed with a real estate broker. In the event the property is sold within 180 days of listing, we agree to pay the owner any shortfall between the sales price and the established fair market value. In the event the property is not sold within the 180 day time frame, we are obligated to purchase the property for fair market value. As of September 30, 2017 , we have not accrued a liability related to the PVGs because it is not possible to estimate how many of the owners will elect to avail themselves of the provisions of the PVGs and it cannot be determined if shortfalls will exist in the event of a sale nor can the value of the subject property be ascertained until appraised. As of September 30, 2017 , the Partnership has paid $2,188 under these guarantees. Lease Obligations The Partnership has long-term leases for railcars, equipment and certain of its terminals. In the fourth quarter of 2016, the Partnership began leasing from PropX equipment manufactured and owned by PropX. We have entered into service agreements with certain transload service providers which requires us to purchase minimum amounts 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 September 30, 2017 , future minimum operating lease payments and minimum purchase commitments are as follows: Fiscal Year Operating Leases Minimum Purchase Commitments 2017 (three months) $ 7,292 $ 1,509 2018 31,924 5,207 2019 31,783 2,616 2020 29,020 2,296 2021 22,557 2,296 Thereafter 34,313 4,167 $ 156,889 $ 18,091 In addition, the Partnership has placed orders for additional leased railcars. Such long-term operating leases commence upon the future delivery of 700 railcars, which are scheduled to be delivered during the first half of 2018. Equity Method Investments On September 8, 2016, the Partnership committed to investing up to $17,400 in PropX over the next year to 18 months for use in the manufacturing of containers and conveyor systems, among other things. As of September 30, 2017 , the Partnership has funded $14,400 of its commitment to PropX, of which $4,168 was funded during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 . Contingent Consideration As described in Note 3 - Acquisitions , the Partnership may pay the sponsor up to $10,000 and $65,000 of contingent consideration related to the Blair Contribution and the Whitehall Contribution, respectively. The payments are based on achievement of certain levels of Adjusted EBITDA in 2017 and 2018. Achievement of these threshold levels of Adjusted EBITDA, as defined in each of the contribution agreements, will be dependent on the quantity of volumes sold and related prices, which are forecasted at levels above current market prices. The Partnership’s ability to meet such thresholds will be affected by events and circumstances beyond its control. If market or other economic conditions remain the same or deteriorate, the thresholds may not be met. If the thresholds are not attained during each of the contingency periods, no payment will be owed to the sponsor. A 10% increase or decrease in the achievement of Adjusted EBITDA versus current forecasts for the measurement periods could result in a range of potential payments under these arrangements which could differ from the current estimated fair value of the liabilities based on our current forecasts. The following table outlines the original fair value reflected as the carrying value in the financial statements, the range of minimum and maximum undiscounted payments, and a sensitivity calculation of the current estimated fair value and sensitivities based on achieving Adjusted EBITDA levels 10% above or below the Partnership’s current forecasted results as of September 30, 2017 . Based on the significant estimates and assumptions included in the analysis, actual results could differ from these estimates. Undiscounted Payments Sensitivity Analysis Transaction Carrying Value of Liability Minimum Maximum Current Estimated Fair Value -10% Adjusted EBITDA +10% Adjusted EBITDA Blair Contribution $ 5,000 $ — $ 10,000 $ 6,990 $ 6,990 $ 6,990 Whitehall Contribution $ 14,000 $ — $ 65,000 $ 38,908 $ 38,908 $ 38,908 Litigation 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.

Equity

Equity [Abstract]
Equity	Equity During the second quarter of 2017, our sponsor distributed its 20,693,643 common units in the Partnership to its members. As of September 30, 2017 , our management team, together with our board of directors have a 10% direct ownership interest in our limited partnership units. In addition, our sponsor is the owner of our General Partner. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017 , the Partnership completed a public offering for a total of 23,575,000 common units, representing limited partnership interests in the Partnership for aggregate net proceeds of approximately $412,577 . The net proceeds from these offerings were used to fund the cash portion of the Whitehall Contribution, the cash portion of the Permian Basin Sand asset acquisition and for general partnership purposes. In addition, the Partnership issued 3,438,789 common units as additional consideration for the Permian Basin Sand asset acquisition on March 3, 2017. During the nine months ended September 30, 2016 , the Partnership completed three public offerings for a total of 19,550,000 common units, representing limited partnership interests in the Partnership for aggregate net proceeds of approximately $189,015 . The net proceeds from these offerings were used to pay off the outstanding balance under the Partnership's Revolving Credit Agreement, to fund the Blair Contribution and for general partnership purposes. Equity Distribution Agreement On January 4, 2017, the Partnership entered into an equity distribution program with certain financial institutions (each, a "Manager") under which we may sell, from time to time, through or to the Managers, common units representing limited partner interests in the Partnership up to an aggregate gross sales price of $50,000 . The Partnership did not issue any common units under this equity distribution program through the date of this filing. 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 and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 , no income 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. On October 16, 2017 , our General Partner's board of directors declared a cash distribution for the third quarter of 2017 totaling $13,655 , or $0.15 per common unit. This distribution will be paid on November 14, 2017 to unitholders of record on October 31, 2017 . No distributions were declared for our holders of incentive distribution rights. 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 Nine Months Ended September 30, September 30, 2017 2016 2017 2016 Basic common units outstanding 91,030,558 55,095,464 85,277,011 44,832,652 Potentially dilutive common units 997,066 — 997,066 — Diluted common units outstanding 92,027,624 55,095,464 86,274,077 44,832,652 For purposes of calculating the Partnership’s earnings per unit under the two-class method, common units are treated as participating preferred units. Incentive distribution rights are treated as participating securities. Diluted earnings per unit excludes any dilutive awards granted (see Note 9 - Unit-Based Compensation ) if their effect is anti-dilutive. Diluted earnings per unit for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 , includes the dilutive effect of all 997,066 phantom units, respectively, granted and outstanding at the assumed number of units which would have vested if the performance period had ended on September 30, 2017 . During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 , the Partnership incurred a net loss and, as a result, all 627,900 phantom units, respectively, of potentially dilutive awards granted and outstanding were excluded from the diluted earnings per unit calculation. 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. As described in Note 1 , the Partnership's historical financial information has been recast to combine Blair, Whitehall and Other Assets for all periods presented. The amounts of incremental income or losses recast to periods prior to the Blair Contribution and Whitehall Contribution are excluded from the calculation of net income per limited partner unit. The following tables provide a reconciliation of net income (loss) and the assumed allocation of net income (loss) under the two-class method for purposes of computing net income (loss) per limited partner unit for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 (in thousands, except per unit amounts): Three Months Ended September 30, 2017 General Partner and IDRs Limited Partner Units Total Declared distribution $ — $ 13,655 $ 13,655 Assumed allocation of earnings in excess of distributions — 16,152 16,152 Assumed allocation of net income $ — $ 29,807 $ 29,807 Earnings per limited partner unit - basic $ 0.33 Earnings per limited partner unit - diluted $ 0.32 Three Months Ended September 30, 2016 General Partner and IDRs Limited Partner Units Total Declared distribution $ — $ — $ — Assumed allocation of distributions in excess of loss — (11,734 ) (11,734 ) Add back recast income attributable to Blair through August 31, 2016 — (962 ) (962 ) Add back recast losses attributable to Whitehall and Other Assets — 992 992 Assumed allocation of net loss $ — $ (11,704 ) $ (11,704 ) Loss per limited partner unit - basic $ (0.21 ) Loss per limited partner unit - diluted $ (0.21 ) Nine Months Ended September 30, 2017 General Partner and IDRs Limited Partner Units Total Declared distribution $ — $ 13,655 $ 13,655 Assumed allocation of earnings in excess of distributions — 25,701 25,701 Add back recast losses attributable to Whitehall and Other Assets through March 15, 2017 — 1,471 1,471 Assumed allocation of net income $ — $ 40,827 $ 40,827 Earnings per limited partner unit - basic $ 0.48 Earnings per limited partner unit - diluted $ 0.47 Nine Months Ended September 30, 2016 General Partner and IDRs Limited Partner Units Total Declared distribution $ — $ — $ — Assumed allocation of distributions in excess of loss — (76,393 ) (76,393 ) Add back recast income attributable to Blair through August 31, 2016 — (279 ) (279 ) Add back recast losses attributable to Whitehall and Other Assets — 2,583 2,583 Assumed allocation of net loss $ — $ (74,089 ) $ (74,089 ) Loss per limited partner unit - basic $ (1.65 ) Loss per limited partner unit - diluted $ (1.65 ) Recast Equity Transactions On March 15, 2017, in connection with the closing of the Whitehall Contribution, $116,417 of sponsor advances were converted to capital, as reflected in the non-controlling interest section of the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Partners' Capital. During the nine months ended September 30, 2016 , the sponsor paid $1,652 of expenses on behalf of Blair.

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 limited the number of common units that may be issued pursuant to awards under the Plan to 1,364,035 units. The first amendment and restatement of the Plan was approved by our common unitholders and the number of common units under the Plan increased by an additional 2,700,000 common units effective as of September 21, 2016. After giving effect to the first amendment and restatement of the Plan, to the extent that an award is forfeited, cancelled, exercised, settled in cash, or otherwise terminates or expires without the actual delivery of common units pursuant to such awards, the common units subject to the award will again be available for new awards granted under the Plan; provided, however, that any common units withheld to cover a tax withholding obligation will not again be available for new awards under the Plan. 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 December 31, 2016 201,521 $ 29.03 Forfeited (39,399 ) $ 52.53 Outstanding at September 30, 2017 162,122 $ 23.32 As of September 30, 2017 , total compensation expense not yet recognized related to unvested PPUs was $1,141 , with a weighted average remaining service period of 0.9 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 the vesting period. The vesting period is a cliff or graded vesting, generally ranging over a three -year 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 December 31, 2016 378,260 $ 16.40 Vested (19,436 ) $ 32.33 Granted 495,163 $ 8.47 Forfeited (19,043 ) $ 20.32 Outstanding at September 30, 2017 834,944 $ 11.23 As of September 30, 2017 , total compensation expense not yet recognized related to unvested TPUs was $6,424 , with a weighted average remaining service period of 2.3 years . Board Unit Grants The Partnership issued 29,148 and 103,377 common units to certain of its directors during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 , respectively. Unit Purchase Programs The Partnership has unit purchase programs ("UPP") offered under the Plan. The UPPs provide 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 of the employee's eligible compensation during the applicable offering period. Directors contribute through cash contributions. If the closing price of the Partnership's common units on the purchase date is greater than or equal to the discount applied to 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 a specified number of 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. The offering period under the Partnership's UPP adopted in 2015 (the "2015 UPP") ended on February 28, 2017 with a 10% discount of the fair value of our common units on the applicable election date. The participants under the 2015 UPP purchased 300,090 common units at an average price of $5.49 on February 28, 2017 . On September 14, 2017, our General Partner's board of directors approved the termination of the Partnership's UPP that was adopted in March of 2017 (the "2017 UPP") and approved the adoption of the Second 2017 Unit Purchase Program (the "Second 2017 UPP"). On September 14, 2017, the offering period under the Second 2017 UPP commenced, with a 15% discount of the fair value of our common units on the applicable election date and a purchase date of November 15, 2018 . With respect to any eligible individuals electing to participate in the Second 2017 UPP who were also participating in the 2017 UPP, any contributions that were made to the 2017 UPP and not withdrawn by a participant before September 14, 2017 were applied to the Second 2017 UPP. Based on the current elected contributions, the participants will have the right to purchase an aggregate of approximately 338,000 common units. As of September 30, 2017 , total accumulated contributions of $438 from directors under the Second 2017 UPP is maintained within the accrued and other current liabilities line item on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. Compensation Expense The following table presents total unit-based compensation expense: Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended September 30, September 30, 2017 2016 2017 2016 Performance Phantom Units $ 373 $ 647 $ 1,121 $ 1,811 Time-Based Phantom Units 714 352 1,993 732 Director and other unit grants 124 117 375 356 Unit Purchase Programs 298 39 417 116 Total compensation expense $ 1,509 $ 1,155 $ 3,906 $ 3,015

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 September 30, 2017 and 2016 , the Partnership incurred $1,375 and $1,423 , respectively, of management and administrative service expenses from Hi-Crush Services. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 , the Partnership incurred $3,968 and $3,814 , 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 September 30, 2017 , an outstanding balance of $11,546 payable to our sponsor is maintained as a current liability under the caption "Due to sponsor". On September 8, 2016, the Partnership entered into an agreement to become a member of PropX, which is accounted for as an equity method investment. As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 , the Partnership purchased $5,679 and $1,566 , respectively, of equipment from PropX, which is reflected in property, plant and equipment. As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 , the Partnership had accounts payable of $1,472 and $1,553 , respectively, to PropX, which is reflected in accounts payable on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. In addition to equipment purchases, during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 , we incurred $539 and $1,205 , respectively, of lease expense for the use of PropX equipment, which is reflected in cost of goods sold. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 , 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 a director of our General Partner, has an ownership 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.

Impairments and Other Expenses

Impairments and Other Expenses	9 Months Ended

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. During the three months ended March 31, 2016, volumes sold through the D&I reporting unit declined below previously forecasted levels and pricing deteriorated. Our customers faced uncertainty related to activity levels and reduced their active frac crews, resulting in declines in well completion activity and industry demand for frac sand. 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, discount 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 an impairment loss of all goodwill was incurred, which was equal to the difference between the carrying value and estimated fair value of goodwill. During the nine months ended September 30, 2016 , the Partnership recognized a $33,745 impairment loss of all goodwill. We recognized impairments and other expenses as outlined in the following table: Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended September 30, September 30, 2017 2016 2017 2016 Impairment of Goodwill $ — $ — $ — $ 33,745 Severance, retention and relocation — 148 — 253 Exploration expenses — — 143 — Expiration of exclusivity agreement 200 — 200 — Impairments and other expenses $ 200 $ 148 $ 343 $ 33,998

Subsequent Events [Abstract]
Subsequent Events	Subsequent Events On October 12, 2017 , the Partnership entered into a sixth amendment to the Revolving Credit Agreement, which allows the Partnership for repurchases of common units up to $20,000 . On October 16, 2017 , our General Partner's board of directors declared a cash distribution for the third quarter of 2017 totaling $13,655 , or $0.15 per common unit. This distribution will be paid on November 14, 2017 to unitholders of record on October 31, 2017 . No distributions were declared for our holders of incentive distribution rights. On October 17, 2017, the Partnership announced that the General Partner's board of directors approved a unit buyback program of up to $100,000 . The Partnership will seek consent under the Revolving Credit Agreement and Term Loan Credit Agreement allowing for the authorized amount of up to $100,000 . The repurchase program does not obligate the Partnership to repurchase any specific dollar amount or number of units and may be suspended, modified or discontinued by the board of directors at any time, in its sole discretion and without notice.

Significant Accounting Polici20

Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)	9 Months Ended
	Sep. 30, 2017
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.
Deferred Charges	Deferred Charges Certain direct costs incurred in connection with debt financing have been capitalized and are being amortized using the straight-line method, which approximates the effective interest method, over the life of the debt. Amortization expense is included in interest expense.
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.
Equity Method Investments	Equity Method Investments The Partnership accounts for investments, which it does not control but has the ability to exercise significant influence, using the equity method of accounting. Under this method, the investment is carried originally at cost, increased by any allocated share of the Partnership's net income and contributions made, and decreased by any allocated share of the Partnership's net losses and distributions received. The Partnership's allocated share of income and losses are based on the rights and priorities outlined in the equity investment agreement.
Contingent Consideration	Contingent Consideration Accounting standards require that contingent consideration be recorded at fair value at the date of acquisition and revalued during subsequent reporting dates under the acquisition method of accounting. In connection with its recent acquisitions of Blair and Whitehall and Other Assets from its sponsor, the Partnership has entered into certain contingent consideration arrangements. As such transactions are between entities under common control, any differences between the calculated fair value, and the actual resulting payments in the future will be reflected as an equity adjustment to the deemed distributions associated with the acquisitions.
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, terminal or well site. 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 when collectability is certain. Customer prepayments in excess of customer obligations remaining on account upon the termination of a contract are recognized as other operating income during the period in which the termination occurs. During the three months ended September 30, 2017, the Partnership recognized $3,554 related to the termination of a contract, which is included in other operating income on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. 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 2018 and 2024 . 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.
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 $190,068 as of September 30, 2017 , based on the market price quoted from external sources, compared with a carrying value of $193,000 . 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. As described in Note 1 , the Partnership's historical financial information has been recast to combine Blair, Whitehall and Other Assets for all periods presented. The amounts of incremental income or losses recast to periods prior to the Blair Contribution and Whitehall Contribution are excluded from the calculation of net income per limited partner unit.
Income Taxes	Income Taxes The Partnership is a pass-through entity and is not considered a taxable 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.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements	Recent Accounting Pronouncements In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2014-09, an update that supersedes the most current revenue recognition guidance, as well as some cost recognition guidance. The update requires that an entity recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. This update also requires new qualitative and quantitative disclosures about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments, information about contract balances and performance obligations, and assets recognized from costs incurred to obtain or fulfill a contract. The authoritative guidance, which may be applied on a full retrospective or modified retrospective basis whereby the entity records a cumulative effect of initially applying this update at the date of initial application, will be effective for the Partnership beginning January 1, 2018. The FASB has also issued the following standards which clarify ASU 2014-09 and have the same effective date as the original standard: ASU 2016-12, Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients, ASU 2016-10 Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing and ASU 2017-13, Revenue Recognition (Topic 605), Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), Leases (Topic 840), and Leases (Topic 842). The Partnership is currently assessing the potential impacts of the adoption of ASU 2014-09. Although we are still in the process of documenting our assessment of our contracts and the impact to our disclosure requirements, the Partnership does not anticipate a material impact on its revenue recognition practices. The Partnership generates revenue by excavating, processing and delivering frac sand and providing related services and recognizes revenue at the point of delivery to customers, at which point the earnings process is deemed to be complete. We currently intend to adopt ASU 2014-09 using the full retrospective approach. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 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 FASB has also issued the following standard which clarifies ASU 2016-02 and has the same effective date as the original standard: ASU 2017-13, Revenue Recognition (Topic 605), Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), Leases (Topic 840), and Leases (Topic 842). The Partnership is currently assessing the impact that adopting this new accounting guidance will have on its Consolidated Financial Statements and footnote disclosures.
