ORGANIZATION AND FORMATION OF THE PARTNERSHIP	'
	ORGANIZATION AND FORMATION OF THE PARTNERSHIP
	Organization
	Marlin Midstream Partners, LP (the “Partnership”) is a midstream energy company that offers (i) natural gas gathering, compression, dehydration, treating, processing, and hydrocarbon dew-point control and transportation services to producers, marketers and third-party pipeline companies, and (ii) crude oil transloading services to Associated Energy Services, LP (“AES”), an affiliate of the Partnership.
	The Partnership is a Delaware limited partnership, formed in April 2013 by NuDevco Partners, LLC and its affiliates (“NuDevco”). NuDevco, a sole member limited liability company formed on August 27, 2010 under the Texas Limited Liability Company Act (“TLLCA”), is an affiliate of Spark Energy Ventures, LLC (“SEV”), a sole member limited liability company formed on October 8, 2007 under the TLLCA. NuDevco and SEV are both wholly owned by W. Keith Maxwell III. SEV was the sole member of Marlin Midstream, LLC and its subsidiaries (“Marlin Midstream”), and Mr. Maxwell was the sole member of Marlin Logistics, LLC (“Marlin Logistics”) prior to the closing of the Partnership’s initial public offering of 6,875,000 common units representing a 38.6% limited partner interest in the Partnership on July 31, 2013 (“IPO”). Concurrently, with the closing of the IPO, the Partnership also executed a new credit facility.
	In connection with the closing of the IPO, SEV contributed all of its interest in Marlin Midstream to the Partnership, and Mr. Maxwell contributed all of his interest in Marlin Logistics to the Partnership, through a series of transfers of interest in entities all under the common control of Mr. Maxwell in exchange for wholly owned subsidiaries of NuDevco receiving common units and all of the Partnership’s subordinated units and incentive distribution rights. The contribution of entities to the Partnership is not considered a business combination accounted for under the purchase method because it was a transfer of assets and operations under common control and, accordingly, balances were transferred at their historical cost. The Partnership’s historical condensed combined financial statements prior to the IPO are prepared using Marlin Midstream’s and Marlin Logistics’ historical basis in the assets and liabilities, and include all revenues, costs, assets and liabilities attributed to these entities for the periods presented. The Partnership’s financial statements subsequent to the IPO are prepared on a consolidated basis.
	The Partnership’s general partner, Marlin Midstream GP, LLC manages the Partnership’s activities subject to the terms and conditions specified in the Partnership’s partnership agreement. The Partnership’s general partner is owned by NuDevco Midstream Development, LLC (“NuDevco Midstream Development”), an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of NuDevco. The operations of the general partner, in its capacity as general partner, are managed by its board of directors. Actions by the general partner that are made in its individual capacity will be made by NuDevco Midstream Development as the sole member of the Partnership’s general partner and not by the board of directors of the general partner. The partnership’s general partner will not be elected by the Partnership’s unitholders and will not be subject to re-election on a regular basis in the future. The officers of the general partner will manage the day-to-day affairs of the Partnership’s business.
	Marlin Midstream was formed November 26, 2002 as a sole member limited liability company under the TLLCA. Marlin Midstream is a midstream energy company offering the following midstream services: natural gas gathering, compression, dehydration, treating, processing and hydrocarbon dew-point control and transportation services to producers, third-party pipeline companies and marketers.
	Marlin Logistics, formerly known as FuelCo Energy, LLC, was formed August 26, 2010 as a sole member limited liability company under the TLLCA. Marlin Logistics is a crude oil logistics company that offers crude oil transloading services.
	This report contains information occurring prior to the completion of the IPO, and prior to the effective dates of certain of the agreements discussed herein. Consequently, the unaudited condensed consolidated and combined financial statements and related discussion of financial condition and results of operations contained in this report for those periods prior to the initial public offering pertain to the combined businesses and assets of Marlin Midstream, LLC and its subsidiaries and Marlin Logistics, LLC.

	Unless the context otherwise requires, references in this report to “we,” “our,” “us,” or like terms, when used in a historical context, refer to the combined businesses and assets of Marlin Midstream, LLC and its subsidiaries and Marlin Logistics, LLC, and when used in the present tense or prospectively, refer to Marlin Midstream Partners, LP and its subsidiaries.
	As a company with less than $1.0 billion in revenues during its last fiscal year, the Partnership qualifies as an “emerging growth company” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, or the JOBS Act. An emerging growth company may take advantage of specified reduced reporting and other regulatory requirements.
	Initial Public Offering of Marlin Midstream Partners, LP
	On July 31, 2013, the Partnership completed the IPO of 6,875,000 common units, representing a 38.6% limited partner interest, to the public for $20.00 per common unit, less an underwriting discount of $1.20 per common unit. After the closing of the IPO, substantially all the Partnership’s gross margin is generated under fee-based commercial agreements, the substantial majority of which have minimum volume commitments.
	Net proceeds to the Partnership from the IPO were $125.3 million, after underwriting discount, structuring fees and other direct IPO costs. Using those proceeds, the Partnership repaid its existing credit facility of approximately $121.9 million and the outstanding revolving credit facility of approximately $10.0 million, and settled its existing interest rate swap liability of approximately $0.1 million.
	At the consummation of the IPO, the amount of common, subordinated, and general partner units is summarized in the table below:


		Number of units	Limited Partner

		at July 31, 2013	Interest

	Publicly held common units	6,875,000	38.60%

	Common units held by NuDevco	1,849,545	10.40%

	Subordinated units held by NuDevco	8,724,545	49.00%

	General partner units	356,104	2.00%

	Total	17,805,194	100.00%

	Our Fee-Based Commercial Agreements
	Prior to the IPO, the Partnership generated revenues primarily under keep-whole and other commodity-based gathering and processing agreements with third parties and its affiliates. At the closing of the IPO, the Partnership terminated the existing commodity-based gas gathering and processing agreement with AES, assigned to AES all of the remaining keep-whole and other commodity-based gathering and processing agreements with third party customers and entered into a new three-year fee-based gathering and processing agreement with AES with a minimum volume commitment and annual inflation adjustments.
	Following the closing of the IPO, the Partnership has multiple fee-based commercial agreements in place with Anadarko Petroleum Corporation (“Anadarko”) and AES, substantially all of which include minimum volume commitments and annual inflation adjustments that are the source of a substantial portion of the Partnership’s revenues.

BASIS_OF_PRESENTATION

BASIS OF PRESENTATION	6 Months Ended
BASIS OF PRESENTATION	Jun. 30, 2014
Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]	'
BASIS OF PRESENTATION	'
	BASIS OF PRESENTATION
	The condensed consolidated and combined financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).
	In preparing financial statements in accordance with GAAP, management makes informed judgments and estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses. Management evaluates its estimates and related assumptions regularly, utilizing historical experience and other methods considered reasonable under the particular circumstances. Changes in facts and circumstances or additional information may result in revised estimates and actual results may differ from these estimates. Effects on the business, financial condition and results of operations resulting from revisions to estimates are recognized when the facts that give rise to the revision become known. The information furnished herein reflects all normal recurring adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the condensed consolidated and combined financial statements. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results which may be expected for the full year or for any interim period. The condensed consolidated and combined financial statements include the accounts of the Partnership and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
	Certain information and note disclosures commonly included in annual financial statements have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. Accordingly, the accompanying condensed consolidated and combined financial statements and notes should be read in conjunction with the Partnership’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013, as amended on March 26, 2014 and March 28, 2014 (the “Annual Report”), as filed with the SEC on February 27, 2014. Management believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information not misleading.
	The accompanying condensed consolidated and combined financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Regulation S-X, Article 3, General Instructions as to Financial Statements and Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) Topic 1-B, Allocations of Expenses and Related Disclosures in Financial Statements of Subsidiaries, Divisions or Lesser Business Components of Another Entity. Certain expenses incurred by SEV are only indirectly attributable to its ownership of Marlin Midstream prior to the IPO. As a result, certain assumptions and estimates are made in order to allocate a reasonable share of such expenses to the Partnership, so that the accompanying condensed consolidated and combined financial statements reflect substantially all costs of doing business. The allocations and related estimates and assumptions are described more fully in Note 11 (“Transactions with Affiliates”), which the Partnership believes are reasonable.
	SEV has allocated various corporate overhead expenses to the Partnership based on percentage of departmental usage, wages or headcount. These allocations are not necessarily indicative of the cost that the Partnership would have incurred had it operated as an independent stand-alone entity. As such, the condensed consolidated and combined financial statements do not fully reflect what the Partnership’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows would have been had the Partnership operated as a stand-alone company during the periods presented.
	At the closing of the IPO, the Partnership entered into an omnibus agreement with NuDevco and its affiliates which addresses the management and administrative services to be provided by NuDevco to the Partnership and the corresponding fees and expense reimbursements to be paid to NuDevco in connection therewith. Under the omnibus agreement, the Partnership pays an annual fee, initially in the amount of $0.6 million, for executive management services and is allocated general and administrative and operating expenses that are directly attributable to the Partnership.
	Marlin Midstream has also historically relied upon SEV and its affiliates as a participant in SEV’s credit facility prior to the IPO. As a result, the historical combined financial information for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 is not necessarily indicative of what the Partnership’s results of operations, financial position and cash flows will be in the future.
	Subsequent Events
	Subsequent events have been evaluated through the date these financial statements are issued. Any material subsequent events that occurred prior to such date have been properly recognized or disclosed in the condensed consolidated and combined financial statements.
	Net Income Per Unit
	The Partnership has omitted net income per unit for all historical periods prior to the IPO because the Partnership operated under a sole member equity structure for the periods prior to the IPO, which is different than the capital structure resulting from the consummation of the IPO and, as a result, the per unit data for periods prior to the IPO would not be meaningful to investors.
	New Accounting Standards
	On May 28, 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. ASU 2014-09 will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in U.S. GAAP when it becomes effective on January 1, 2017. Early application is not permitted. The standard permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. The Partnership is evaluating the effect that ASU 2014-09 will have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. The Partnership has not yet selected a transition method nor determined the effect of the standard on its ongoing financial reporting.

Equity [Abstract]

PARTNERSHIP EQUITY AND DISTRIBUTIONS

Outstanding Units

At each of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Partnership had outstanding common units of 8,889,343 and 8,724,545, respectively, and subordinated units of 8,724,545. NuDevco Midstream Development owns 100% of the interest in the Partnership’s general partner, which owns a 2.0% general partner interest in the Partnership, 10.4% of the Partnership’s outstanding common units and 49.0% of the Partnership’s outstanding subordinated units.

Distributable Cash and Distributions

The partnership agreement requires the Partnership to distribute all available cash, as defined in our partnership agreement, to unitholders of record, as of the applicable record date, no later than 45 days after the end of each quarter.

Available cash generally means, for any quarter, all cash and cash equivalents on hand at the end of that quarter:

•less, the amount of cash reserves established by the General Partner to:

◦

provide for the proper conduct of the business (including reserves for future capital expenditures and anticipated future debt service requirements and for anticipated shortfalls on future minimum commitment payments to which prior credits may be applied);

◦

comply with applicable law, any of our debt instruments or other agreements; or

◦

provide funds for distributions to unitholders and to the general partner for any one or more of the next four quarters (provided that the general partner may not establish cash reserves for distributions if the effect of the establishment of such reserves will prevent us from distributing the minimum quarterly distribution on all common units and any cumulative arrearages on such common units for the current quarter);

•

plus, if the general partner so determines, all or any portion of the cash on hand on the date of determination of available cash for the quarter resulting from working capital borrowings made subsequent to the end of such quarter.

The partnership declared the following cash distributions to its unitholders of record for the periods presented:

(1) No distributions were declared for the quarters ended March 31, 2013 or June 30, 2013 as these periods were prior to the completion of the IPO.

General Partner Interest

The Partnership’s general partner is entitled to 2.0% of all distributions that the Partnership makes. The general partner has the right, but not the obligation, to contribute a proportionate amount of capital to the Partnership in order to maintain its 2.0% general partner interest if the Partnership issues additional units. The 2.0% general partner interest, and the percentage of the Partnership’s cash distributions to which the general partner is entitled from such 2.0% interest, will be proportionately reduced if the Partnership issues additional units in the future (other than the issuance of common units upon conversion of outstanding subordinated units or the issuance of common units upon a reset of the incentive distribution rights) and the Partnership’s general partner does not contribute a proportionate amount of capital to the Partnership in order to maintain the general partners 2.0% general partner interest.

Incentive Distribution Rights

NuDevco indirectly holds all of the incentive distribution rights issued in the IPO, which entitles NuDevco to receive an increasing percentage (13.0%, 23.0% and 48.0%) of quarterly distributions of available cash from operating surplus after the minimum quarterly distribution and certain target distribution levels have been achieved. The maximum distribution of 48.0% does not include any distributions that the Partnership’s general partner or its affiliates may receive on common, subordinated or general partner units that they own.

Subordinated Units and Common Units Held by NuDevco Midstream Development

The Partnership’s partnership agreement provides that, during the defined subordination period, the common units have the right to receive distributions of available cash from operating surplus each quarter in an amount equal to $0.35 per common unit before any distributions of available cash from operating surplus may be made on the subordinated units. The subordinated units are deemed “subordinated” because, for a defined period of time, holders of the subordinated units will not be entitled to receive any distributions until holders of the common units have received the minimum quarterly distribution plus any arrearages from prior quarters. Furthermore, no arrearages accrue or are payable on the subordinated units.

Except as described below, the subordination period began on the closing date of the IPO and extends until the first business day following the distribution of available cash in respect of any quarter beginning after September 30, 2016, that each of the following tests are met:

•

distributions of available cash from operating surplus on each of the outstanding common units, subordinated units and general partner units equaled or exceeded $1.40 (the annualized minimum quarterly distribution), for each of the three consecutive, non-overlapping four-quarter periods immediately preceding that date;

•

the adjusted operating surplus generated during each of the three consecutive, non-overlapping four-quarter periods immediately preceding that date equaled or exceeded the sum of $1.40 (the annualized minimum quarterly distribution) on all of the outstanding common units, subordinated units and general partner units during those periods on a fully diluted basis; and

•

there are no arrearages in payment of the minimum quarterly distribution on the common units.

	NET INCOME PER UNIT

	The Partnership’s net income is allocated to the general partner and the limited partners in accordance with their respective ownership percentages and, when applicable, giving effect to incentive distribution rights. Basic and diluted net income per unit is calculated by dividing the partner’s interest in net income by the weighted average number of units outstanding during the period.

	The Partnership’s principal assets consist of two related natural gas processing facilities located in Panola County, Texas, a natural gas processing facility located in Tyler County, Texas, two natural gas gathering systems connected to its Panola County processing facilities and two NGL transportation pipelines that connect its Panola County and Tyler County processing facilities to third party NGL pipelines.
	The cost of property, plant and equipment classified as “Construction-in-progress” is excluded from costs being depreciated. These amounts represent property that is not yet suitable to be placed into productive service as of the respective balance sheet date.
	Depreciation expense was $2.2 million and $2.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and $4.3 million and $4.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
	At the completion of the IPO, the Partnership transferred the Partnership’s 50% interest in the CO2 processing facility located in Monell, Wyoming to affiliates of NuDevco. As such, subsequent to the closing of the IPO, the Partnership incurred no revenues or expenses associated with the Monell facility. The Partnership was responsible for the design and construction of the Monell facility. Anadarko was designated as an operator of the Monell facility with exclusive right to operate the facility until terminated by unanimous vote of the owners. Revenue generated from, and capital expenditures and operating expenses incurred, in connection with the operation of the plant were allocated on a pro-rata basis in proportion to each owner’s ownership interest. The Partnership recorded its proportional cost of the Monell facility and its share of revenues and expenses in its condensed consolidated and combined financial statements, as earned and incurred prior to the closing of the IPO, respectively.
	For the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, the Partnership recorded revenues of $0.1 million and $0.1 million, respectively, and recorded expenses of $0.1 million and $0.3 million, respectively, attributable to the Monell facility in connection with the collaborative arrangement. These revenues are recorded in natural gas, NGLs and condensate revenue and the expenses are recorded in operation and maintenance in the condensed consolidated and combined Statements of Operations.

	Revolving credit facility		$	6,000		$	4,000

	Total long-term debt		$	6,000		$	4,000


	Concurrently with the closing of our IPO, the Partnership entered into a new $50.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility, which matures on July 31, 2017. If no event of default has occurred, the Partnership has the right, subject to approval by the administrative agent and certain lenders, to increase the borrowing capacity under our revolving credit facility to up to $150.0 million. Our revolving credit facility is available to fund expansions, acquisitions and working capital requirements for our operations and general Partnership purposes.
	At the Partnership’s election, interest will be generally determined by reference to:

	•	the Eurodollar rate plus an applicable margin between 3.0% and 3.75% per annum (based upon the prevailing senior secured leverage ratio); or

	•	the alternate base rate plus an applicable margin between 2.0% and 2.75% per annum (based upon the prevailing senior secured leverage ratio). The alternate base rate is equal to the highest of Société Générale’s prime rate, the federal funds rate plus 0.5% per annum or the reference Eurodollar rate plus 1.0%.
	The new revolving credit facility is secured by the capital stock of our present and future subsidiaries, all of our and our subsidiaries’ present and future property and assets (real and personal), control agreements relating to our and our subsidiaries’ bank accounts and collateral assignments of our and our subsidiaries’ material construction, ownership and operation agreements, including any agreements with AES or Anadarko.
	At the closing of the IPO, the Partnership borrowed $25.0 million under our revolving credit facility, a portion of which, along with the proceeds from the IPO, were used to repay approximately $131.9 million of outstanding borrowings under the previous credit facility. Immediately upon repayment, the previous credit facility was terminated. At June 30, 2014, the Partnership had $6.0 million outstanding under our revolving credit facility.
	Our revolving credit facility also contains covenants that, among other things, require us to maintain specified ratios or conditions. We must maintain a consolidated senior secured leverage ratio, consisting of consolidated indebtedness under our new revolving credit facility to consolidated EBITDA of not more than 4.0 to 1.0, as of the last day of each fiscal quarter. In addition, we must maintain a consolidated interest coverage ratio, consisting of our consolidated EBITDA minus capital expenditures to our consolidated interest expense, letter of credit fees and commitment fees of not less than 2.5 to 1.0, as of the last day of each fiscal quarter. As of June 30, 2014, the Partnership was in compliance with all debt covenants.
	In addition, our revolving credit facility contains affirmative covenants that are customary for credit facilities of this type. The covenants will include delivery of financial statements and other information (including any filings made with the SEC), maintenance of property and insurance, payment of taxes and obligations, material compliance with laws, inspection of property, books and records and audits, use of proceeds, payments to bank blocked accounts, notice of defaults and certain other customary matters.
	Debt Maturities
	Principal amounts of long-term debt under our revolving credit facility mature on July 31, 2017.
	Deferred Financing Costs
	Deferred financing costs were $0.9 million and $1.0 million as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. Of these amounts, $0.3 million and $0.3 million are included in other current assets within the condensed consolidated Balance Sheets at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively, and $0.6 million and $0.7 million are included in other assets within the condensed consolidated Balance Sheets as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively, based on the term of the related debt obligations.
	Amortization of deferred financing costs was $0.1 million and $0.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and $0.1 million and $0.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Amortization of deferred financing costs is recorded in interest expense, net of amounts capitalized, in the condensed consolidated and combined Statements of Operations.
	Interest Expense
	A reconciliation of total interest expense to “interest expense, net of amounts capitalized” as reported in the condensed consolidated and combined Statements of Operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 is as follows:

	On December 17, 2012, Marlin Midstream entered into a new interest rate swap (“2012 Swap”) in order to fix a portion of the interest rate on Marlin Midstream’s amended term loan. Marlin Midstream paid a fixed rate and received a floating rate under the 2012 Swap. The maturity date of the 2012 Swap was December 17, 2014, and the notional amount of the 2012 Swap at December 31, 2012 was $62.5 million. On July 31, 2013, in connection with the Partnership’s IPO, the 2012 Swap was settled for approximately $0.1 million. The Partnership had no derivative assets and liabilities as of June 30, 2014 or December 31, 2013.
	Marlin Midstream’s interest rate swaps did not meet the criteria necessary to qualify for cash flow hedge accounting and were recorded at fair value at each reporting period with the associated unrealized gain or loss recorded in gain (loss) on interest rate swap in the condensed consolidated and combined Statements of Operations.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]	'
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS	'
	FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
	FASB ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement, established a single authoritative definition of fair value when accounting rules require the use of fair value, set out a framework for measuring fair value and required additional disclosures about fair value measurements. The standard clarifies that fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. The standard utilizes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. The following is a brief description of those three levels:

	•	Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

	•	Level 2—Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities).

	•	Level 3—Significant unobservable inputs (including the Partnership’s own assumptions in determining fair value).
	When the Partnership is required to measure fair value, and there is not a market-observable price for the asset or liability or a market-observable price for a similar asset or liability, the Partnership utilizes the cost, income, or market valuation approach depending on the quality of information available to support management’s assumptions. Financial instruments are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Partnership’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value requires judgment and may affect the placement of assets and liabilities within the fair value hierarchy levels.
	The Partnership had no financial instruments at June 30, 2014 or December 31, 2013. At the IPO date, the Partnership settled the outstanding interest rate swap.
	The estimated fair value of accounts receivable, accounts receivable-affiliates, accounts payable, accounts payable-affiliates and accrued liabilities approximate their carrying values due to their short-term nature. The estimated fair value of the Partnership’s outstanding long-term debt approximates carrying value due to the variable rate nature of the Partnership’s long-term debt.

	SEGMENT INFORMATION

	The Partnership’s revenues are derived from two operating segments: (i) gathering and processing, and (ii) crude oil logistics. These segments are monitored separately by management for performance and are consistent with internal financial reporting. These segments have been identified based on the differing products and services, regulatory environment, and expertise required for their respective operations. Gross margin is a primary performance measure used by management. The Partnership defines gross margin as revenues less costs of revenues. Gross margin should not be considered an alternative to, or more meaningful than, operating income as determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

	The following tables present financial information by segment for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014. Our crude oil logistics segment had no material operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013:

	TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
	From time to time, the Partnership enters into transactions with SEV related affiliates that have a common owner with the Partnership in order to reduce risk, create strategic alliances and supply or receive goods and services to these SEV related affiliates. See also Note 1 for a discussion of transactions with affiliates coinciding with the closing of the IPO in July 2013.
	Accounts receivable from and accounts payable to affiliates
	The Partnership had receivables due from affiliates of $2.9 million and $3.6 million at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. Receivables due from affiliates primarily related to our fee-based gathering and processing agreement with a subsidiary of SEV, and our fee-based transloading services agreement with a subsidiary of SEV. Payables to affiliates were $3.4 million and $1.6 million at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. Payables to affiliates primarily related to settlements under our gathering and processing agreement with a subsidiary of SEV and reimbursement to an affiliate of NuDevco for certain general and administrative and operating costs under the omnibus agreement with NuDevco.
	Revenues and cost of revenues
	Prior to the IPO on July 31, 2013, the Partnership provided processing services for a subsidiary of SEV, whereby the Partnership gathered natural gas from third parties, extracted NGLs, and redelivered the processed natural gas to the subsidiary of SEV. Under certain third-party contracts, the Partnership transferred all natural gas purchased to the subsidiary of SEV at market price. The Partnership also replaced energy used in processing due to the extraction of liquids, compression and transportation of natural gas, and fuel by purchasing natural gas from a subsidiary of SEV at the same market price. The Partnership used the MMBtu volume to measure how much energy is used in processing. Cost of natural gas, NGLs and condensate revenue—affiliates included in the Partnership’s results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 from these agreements was $1.3 million and $2.8 million, respectively.

	Additionally, the Partnership has entered into a gas transportation agreement with a subsidiary of SEV. The Partnership receives the higher of (i) a minimum monthly payment or (ii) a transportation fee per MMBtu times actual volumes delivered. The current transportation agreement was set to expire on February 28, 2013, but was extended for three additional years at a fixed rate per MMBtu without a minimum monthly payment. Included in the Partnership’s results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 are gathering, processing and other revenue—affiliates of less than $0.1 million related to these transactions for each period presented.
	In connection with the IPO, the Partnership entered into a three-year fee-based commercial agreement with AES, requiring a minimum monthly volume commitment of 80 MMcf/d. This agreement became effective August 1, 2013. Included in the Partnership’s results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 are gathering, processing, transloading and other revenue—affiliates of $6.1 million and $11.2 million, respectively, related to this agreement. Cost of natural gas, NGLs and condensate revenue - affiliates included in the Partnership’s results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 related to this agreement was $5.9 million and $8.9 million, respectively.
	In connection with the IPO, the Partnership entered into three-year transloading services agreements with AES, requiring minimum monthly volume commitments for crude oil transloading services. Included in the Partnership’s results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 are gathering, processing, transloading and other revenue—affiliates of $3.5 million and $6.9 million, respectively, related to these agreements.
	Cost allocations
	Prior to the IPO, SEV and its affiliates had paid certain expenses on behalf of the Partnership, such as insurance, professional fees, and financing fees. These expenses were reimbursed by the Partnership to SEV and its affiliates and are included in operation and maintenance—affiliates and general and administrative—affiliates in the condensed consolidated and combined Statements of Operations. In addition, SEV and its affiliates have allocated certain overhead costs associated with general and administrative services, including facilities, information services, human resources and other support departments to the Partnership. Where costs incurred on the Partnership’s behalf could not be determined by specific identification, the costs were primarily allocated to the Partnership based on percentage of departmental usage, wages or headcount. The Partnership believes these allocations were a reasonable reflection of the utilization of services provided. However, the allocations may not fully reflect the expenses that would have been incurred had the Partnership been a stand-alone company during the periods presented.
	At the closing of the IPO, the Partnership entered into an omnibus agreement with NuDevco and its affiliates which addresses the management and administrative and overhead services to be provided by NuDevco to the Partnership and the corresponding fees and expense reimbursements to be paid to NuDevco in connection therewith. Under the omnibus agreement, the Partnership pays an annual fee, initially in the amount of $0.6 million, for executive management services.
	The total amount charged to the Partnership for direct reimbursement of operating and overhead cost allocations, which is recorded in operation and maintenance—affiliates, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 was $1.6 million and $0.3 million, and $3.5 million and $0.5 million, respectively. The total amount charged to the Partnership for direct reimbursement of administrative and overhead cost allocations, which is recorded in general and administrative—affiliates, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 was $1.0 million and $0.4 million, and $2.8 million and $0.7 million respectively.

	EQUITY BASED COMPENSATION

	In connection with the IPO, the board of directors of the Partnership’s general partner adopted the Marlin Midstream Partners, LP 2013 Long-Term Incentive Plan (LTIP). Individuals who are eligible to receive awards under the LTIP include (1) employees of the Partnership and NuDevco Midstream Development and its affiliates, (2) directors of the Partnership’s general partner, and (3) consultants. The LTIP provides for the grant of unit options, unit appreciation awards, restricted units, phantom units, distribution equivalent rights, unit awards, profits interest units, and other unit-based awards. The maximum number of common units issuable under the LTIP is 1,750,000.

	On August 1, 2013, phantom units, with distribution equivalent rights, of 292,000 units were awarded to certain employees of NuDevco Midstream Development and its affiliates who provide direct or indirect services to the Partnership pursuant to affiliate agreements and 20,000 units were awarded to certain board members of the Partnership’s general partner. All of the phantom unit awards granted to-date are considered non-employee equity based awards, issued to individuals who are not deemed to be employees of the Partnership, and are required to be remeasured at fair market value at each reporting period and amortized to compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the vesting period of the phantom units with a corresponding increase in a liability as management intends to settle the awards by allowing the recipient to choose between issuing the net amount of common units due, less common units equivalent to pay withholding taxes, due upon vesting with the Partnership paying the amount of withholding taxes due in cash or issuing the gross amounts of common units due with the recipient paying the withholding taxes. Distribution equivalent rights are accrued for each phantom unit award as the Partnership declares cash distributions and is recorded as a decrease in partners’ capital with a corresponding liability in accordance with the vesting period of the underlying phantom unit, which will be settled in cash when the underlying phantom units vest.

	The phantom units awarded to employees of NuDevco Midstream Development and its affiliates will vest in five equal annual installments with the first installment vesting on June 30, 2014, provided that for any individual who has attained a total of five or more years of service with NuDevco Midstream Development or its affiliates at the grant date of award the phantom unit awards fully vested on February 15, 2014. The phantom unit awards to board members of the Partnership’s general partner fully vested on February 15, 2014.

	For the three month period ended June 30, 2014, approximately $0.1 million in compensation expense was recorded in general and administrative expenses - affiliates and approximately $0.1 million in compensation expense was recorded in operation and maintenance - affiliates in the condensed consolidated and combined Statements of Operations.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION (Policies)	6 Months Ended
BASIS OF PRESENTATION (Policies)	Jun. 30, 2014
Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]	'
Use of Estimates	'
Use of Estimates	In preparing financial statements in accordance with GAAP, management makes informed judgments and estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses. Management evaluates its estimates and related assumptions regularly, utilizing historical experience and other methods considered reasonable under the particular circumstances. Changes in facts and circumstances or additional information may result in revised estimates and actual results may differ from these estimates. Effects on the business, financial condition and results of operations resulting from revisions to estimates are recognized when the facts that give rise to the revision become known.
Consolidation	'
	The condensed consolidated and combined financial statements include the accounts of the Partnership and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
	Certain information and note disclosures commonly included in annual financial statements have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. Accordingly, the accompanying condensed consolidated and combined financial statements and notes should be read in conjunction with the Partnership’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013, as amended on March 26, 2014 and March 28, 2014 (the “Annual Report”), as filed with the SEC on February 27, 2014. Management believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information not misleading.
	The accompanying condensed consolidated and combined financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Regulation S-X, Article 3, General Instructions as to Financial Statements and Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) Topic 1-B, Allocations of Expenses and Related Disclosures in Financial Statements of Subsidiaries, Divisions or Lesser Business Components of Another Entity. Certain expenses incurred by SEV are only indirectly attributable to its ownership of Marlin Midstream prior to the IPO. As a result, certain assumptions and estimates are made in order to allocate a reasonable share of such expenses to the Partnership, so that the accompanying condensed consolidated and combined financial statements reflect substantially all costs of doing business. The allocations and related estimates and assumptions are described more fully in Note 11 (“Transactions with Affiliates”), which the Partnership believes are reasonable.
	SEV has allocated various corporate overhead expenses to the Partnership based on percentage of departmental usage, wages or headcount. These allocations are not necessarily indicative of the cost that the Partnership would have incurred had it operated as an independent stand-alone entity. As such, the condensed consolidated and combined financial statements do not fully reflect what the Partnership’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows would have been had the Partnership operated as a stand-alone company during the periods presented.
	At the closing of the IPO, the Partnership entered into an omnibus agreement with NuDevco and its affiliates which addresses the management and administrative services to be provided by NuDevco to the Partnership and the corresponding fees and expense reimbursements to be paid to NuDevco in connection therewith. Under the omnibus agreement, the Partnership pays an annual fee, initially in the amount of $0.6 million, for executive management services and is allocated general and administrative and operating expenses that are directly attributable to the Partnership.
	Marlin Midstream has also historically relied upon SEV and its affiliates as a participant in SEV’s credit facility prior to the IPO. As a result, the historical combined financial information for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 is not necessarily indicative of what the Partnership’s results of operations, financial position and cash flows will be in the future.
Subsequent Events	'
	Subsequent Events
	Subsequent events have been evaluated through the date these financial statements are issued. Any material subsequent events that occurred prior to such date have been properly recognized or disclosed in the condensed consolidated and combined financial statements.
Net Income Per Unit	'
	Net Income Per Unit
	The Partnership has omitted net income per unit for all historical periods prior to the IPO because the Partnership operated under a sole member equity structure for the periods prior to the IPO, which is different than the capital structure resulting from the consummation of the IPO and, as a result, the per unit data for periods prior to the IPO would not be meaningful to investors.
New Accounting Standard	'
	New Accounting Standards
	On May 28, 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. ASU 2014-09 will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in U.S. GAAP when it becomes effective on January 1, 2017. Early application is not permitted. The standard permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. The Partnership is evaluating the effect that ASU 2014-09 will have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. The Partnership has not yet selected a transition method nor determined the effect of the standard on its ongoing financial reporting.
