American Midstream Announces Long-term Agreement with Silver Oak Energy to Develop Midstream Infrastructure in East Texas

DENVER, CO -January 2, 2013- American Midstream Partners, LP AMID announced today the execution of a long-term agreement with Silver Oak Energy to provide midstream services throughout Silver Oak's acreage holdings in the Woodbine Formation in Madison County, Texas. American Midstream previously announced a binding letter of intent with Silver Oak, under which the Partnership constructed natural gas gathering and treating facilities to enable Silver Oak to market production from their initial drilling program.  Under the terms of the agreement announced today, American Midstream will construct and operate additional gathering, compression, treating, and processing facilities to support Silver Oak's production in the Woodbine.

"We are excited to announce a long-term agreement with Silver Oak to develop midstream infrastructure throughout the Woodbine play in East Texas," commented Brian Bierbach, President and Chief Executive Officer.  "There are extensive potential crude oil reserves in the Woodbine and surrounding plays that we believe will drive significant rich-gas production.  We look forward to working with Silver Oak, and potentially other producers in the region, to provide a full suite of midstream services that are critical to the full development of the liquids-rich areas of the Woodbine."
