The fair values of such costs are estimated by our personnel based on abandonment costs of similar assets and depreciated over the life of the related assets. Revisions to the ARO liability may occur due, among other things, to changes in estimated abandonment costs and estimated settlement timing. The ARO liability is adjusted to present value each period through an accretion calculation using our credit-adjusted, risk-free interest rate.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div

All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;Interim consolidated financial statements are unaudited and do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for audited consolidated financial statements. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Predecessor's audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December&amp;#160;31, 2012, included in our Prospectus related to the Offering dated August 8, 2013, (our "Prospectus") as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). These financial statements reflect all normal recurring adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary to fairly present the results of operations and financial position. Amounts reported in the Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Income are not necessarily indicative of amounts expected for the respective annual periods.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;The unaudited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes prior to the Offering (August 14, 2013) relate to the Predecessor and have been prepared in accordance with GAAP on the basis of QEP's historical ownership of the Predecessor assets. The Predecessor's consolidated financial statements have been prepared from the separate records maintained by QEP and may not necessarily be indicative of the actual results of operations that might have occurred if the Predecessor had been operated separately during the periods reported. Because a direct ownership relationship did not exist among the businesses comprising the Predecessor, the net investment in the Predecessor is shown as parent net investment, in lieu of owner's equity, in the unaudited consolidated financial statements. Further, management does not believe that these financial statements are necessarily comparable to the financial statements reported by the Partnership for periods subsequent to the Offering nor reflective of other transactions that resulted in the capitalization and start-up of the Partnership.  See "Item 2 Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Factors Affecting the Comparability of Our Financial Results" within this report for a description of the significant factors affecting the comparability of the Predecessor's historical results of operations and those of the Partnership subsequent to the Offering.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</us-gaap:BusinessDescriptionAndBasisOfPresentationTextBlock>

In accordance with ASC 450, &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;"&gt;Contingencies&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;, an accrual is recorded for a loss contingency when its occurrence is probable and damages can be reasonably estimated based on the anticipated most likely outcome or the minimum amount within a range of possible outcomes. Because legal proceedings are inherently unpredictable and unfavorable resolutions could occur, assessing contingencies is highly subjective and requires judgments about uncertain future events. When evaluating contingencies, we may be unable to provide a meaningful estimate due to a number of factors, including the procedural status of the matter in question, the presence of complex or novel legal theories, and/or the ongoing discovery and development of information important to the matter. The Partnership's litigation loss contingencies are discussed below. We are unable to estimate reasonably possible losses in excess of recorded accruals for these contingencies for the reasons set forth above. We believe, however, that the resolution of pending proceedings will not have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;"&gt;Litigation&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;At the closing of the Offering, the assets and agreement subject to the ongoing litigation between Questar Gas Company ("QGC") and Field Services, styled &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;"&gt;Questar Gas Company v. QEP Field Services Company&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;, Civil No.&amp;#160;120902969, Third Judicial District Court, State of Utah, were assigned to the Partnership. Field Services' former affiliate, QGC, filed this complaint in state court in Utah on May&amp;#160;1, 2012, asserting claims for (i)&amp;#160;breach of contract, (ii)&amp;#160;breach of implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing, (iii)&amp;#160;an accounting and (iv)&amp;#160;declaratory judgment related to a 1993 gathering agreement and a 1998 amendment (the "1993 Agreement") executed when the parties were affiliates. Under the 1993 Agreement, certain of our systems provide gathering services to QGC charging an annual gathering rate which is based on cost of service. QGC is disputing the calculation of the gathering rate. The annual gathering rate has been calculated in the same manner under the 1993 Agreement since it was amended in 1998, without any prior objection or challenge by QGC. QGC was netting the disputed amount from its monthly payment of the gathering fees to Field Services and has continued to net such amount from its monthly payment to the Partnership. As of September 30, 2013, the Partnership has deferred revenue of &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;$7.0 million&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; related to the QGC disputed amount. Specific monetary damages are not asserted. Field Services has filed counterclaims seeking damages and a declaratory judgment relating to its gathering services under the 1993 Agreement. QGC may seek to amend its complaint to add the Partnership as a defendant in the litigation. The Partnership has been indemnified by QEP for costs, expenses and other losses incurred by the Partnership in connection with the QGC dispute, subject to certain limitations, as set forth in the Omnibus Agreement (defined below in "Note 4 - Related Party Transactions").&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</us-gaap:CommitmentsAndContingenciesDisclosureTextBlock>

This information about offsetting and related netting arrangements will enable users of financial statements to understand the effect of those arrangements on the entity's financial position, including the effect of rights of setoff. The amendments were required for annual reporting periods beginning after January&amp;#160;1, 2013, and interim periods within those annual periods. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material effect on our disclosure requirements.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</us-gaap:NewAccountingPronouncementsAndChangesInAccountingPrinciplesTextBlock>

Sales and purchases related to third-party transactions were settled in cash but were received or paid by QEP within the centralized cash management system.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;"&gt;Affiliated Debt&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;The Predecessor's long-term debt consisted of an allocation from Field Services of its total long-term debt related to Field Services' debt agreements with QEP. During the first quarter of 2012, Field Services had a &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;color:#000000;text-decoration:none;"&gt;$250.0 million&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; revolving debt agreement (the "2011 Agreement") with QEP for its working capital requirements, in which Field Services was charged a variable interest rate. Interest during the first quarter of 2012 was allocated to the Predecessor based on an interest rate equal to QEP's average borrowing rate, which was &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;color:#000000;text-decoration:none;"&gt;5.2%&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; in the first quarter of 2012. In April 2012, Field Services entered into new debt agreements with QEP replacing the 2011 Agreement with a &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;color:#000000;text-decoration:none;"&gt;$250.0 million&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; promissory note, which matured at the end of the first quarter of 2013 with a fixed interest rate of &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;color:#000000;text-decoration:none;"&gt;6.05%&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;. The promissory note was renewed on &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;color:#000000;text-decoration:none;"&gt;April&amp;#160;1, 2013&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;, with a maturity date of &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;color:#000000;text-decoration:none;"&gt;April&amp;#160;1, 2014&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;. In addition, Field Services entered into a &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;color:#000000;text-decoration:none;"&gt;$1.0 billion&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; "revolving credit" type promissory note with QEP, which matures on &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;color:#000000;text-decoration:none;"&gt;April&amp;#160;1, 2017&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;, to assist with funding of capital expenditures. Accordingly, all amounts have been classified as "Long-term debt to related party" in our Unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets. Both agreements require Field Services to pay QEP interest during the last nine months of 2013 at a &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;color:#000000;text-decoration:none;"&gt;6.0%&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; fixed rate. Interest allocated to the Predecessor under these notes in the first quarter of 2013 was based on the fixed-rate due to QEP. Field Services was in compliance with its covenants under the agreements for all periods prior to the Offering, and there are no letters of credit outstanding. At &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;color:#000000;text-decoration:none;"&gt;December&amp;#160;31, 2012&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;, allocated debt for the Predecessor was &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;color:#000000;text-decoration:none;"&gt;$131.1 million&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;. In connection with the Offering, &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;color:#000000;text-decoration:none;"&gt;$95.5 million&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; of affiliated debt was assumed by the Partnership and was repaid in full on &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;color:#000000;text-decoration:none;"&gt;August&amp;#160;14, 2013&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;, with proceeds of the Offering extinguishing all affiliated debt of the Partnership. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;"&gt;Allocation of Costs&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;The employees supporting the Predecessor's operations were employees of QEP. General and administrative expenses allocated to the Predecessor were &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;color:#000000;text-decoration:none;"&gt;$3.2 million&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; for the period from July 1, 2013, through August 13, 2013, and &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;color:#000000;text-decoration:none;"&gt;$13.6 million&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; for the period from January 1, 2013, through August 13, 2013, and &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;color:#000000;text-decoration:none;"&gt;$4.9 million&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; and &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;color:#000000;text-decoration:none;"&gt;$12.6 million&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; for the &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;color:#000000;text-decoration:none;"&gt;three and nine months ended&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;color:#000000;text-decoration:none;"&gt;September&amp;#160;30, 2012&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;, respectively. The consolidated financial statements of the Predecessor include direct charges for operations of our assets and costs allocated by QEP. These costs were reimbursed and related to: (i)&amp;#160;various business services, including, but not limited to, payroll, accounts payable and facilities management, (ii)&amp;#160;various corporate services, including, but not limited to, legal, accounting, treasury, information technology and human resources and (iii)&amp;#160;compensation, share-based compensation, benefits and pension and post-retirement costs. These expenses were charged or allocated to the Predecessor based on the nature of the expenses and its proportionate share of QEP's gross property, plant and equipment, operating income and direct labor costs. Management believes these allocation methodologies were reasonable.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font

This information about offsetting and related netting arrangements will enable users of financial statements to understand the effect of those arrangements on the entity's financial position, including the effect of rights of setoff. The amendments were required for annual reporting periods beginning after January&amp;#160;1, 2013, and interim periods within those annual periods. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material effect on our disclosure requirements.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</us-gaap:SignificantAccountingPoliciesTextBlock>
