Inside Eagle Rock

We Combine Upstream, Minerals and Midstream Expertise to Create Value

Eagle Rock Energy Partners ("EROC") is a dynamic master limited partnership (MLP) that leverages its upstream, minerals and midstream expertise to acquire and operate oil and gas properties, natural gas gathering systems, and natural gas processing plants. The company's unique expertise, combined with the tax advantages of the MLP structure, position it to effectively evaluate opportunities, execute transactions and integrate operations to provide a strong platform for future growth.

Our Business Means Growth

By excelling in four mission-critical activities — operations, acquisitions, organic growth projects and risk management — EROC management endeavors to achieve stable, growing distributions to its investors.

• Customer-Focused Midstream Operations
  EROC aims to be the natural gas service provider in the areas in which we operate by consistently exceeding our customers' expectations. We emphasize connecting new wells quickly, operating low-pressure gathering systems, executing contracts and agreements promptly, and providing reliable services. And, in all of our operations, we maintain a commitment to safety and compliance with environmental regulations.
• Acquisitions That Grow Distributions to Our Investors
  As a major part of our growth strategy, EROC seeks accretive acquisitions, such as upstream assets with relatively low production declines and embedded organic growth projects (recompletions, infill drilling, etc.) and midstream assets in active drilling basins. We rely on our in-house expertise to value, negotiate, close and integrate assets into our company.
• Growing Organically
  Organic growth projects, including plant expansions, gathering system expansions and "bolt-on" acquisitions, are another important element in EROC's strategy. We rely on our experienced engineering staff to design and construct these projects on time and on budget.
• Managing Risk
  To mitigate the risks caused by volatile commodity prices and interest rates that can affect the cash flows of our business, EROC conducts a thorough risk management review process. We evaluate our asset portfolio and our expected future revenues on a regular basis, and we target hedge levels of 80 percent of our expected production over the next two to three years.
