Acquisitions and Divestitures [Abstract]
Acquisitions and Divestitures	Divestitures In January 2014, we sold our natural gas gathering and gas lift assets in South Texas to American Midstream Partners, LP (“AMID”) for proceeds of approximately $96 million, net of transaction costs. Concurrent with the sale, we entered into a long-term agreement with AMID to provide us natural gas gathering, compression and gas lift services for a substantial portion of our current and future South Texas natural gas production. We realized a gain of $67.3 million, of which $56.7 million was recognized upon the closing of the transaction and the remaining $10.6 million was deferred and is being recognized over a twenty-five year period. We amortized $0.1 million of the deferred gain during each of the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. As of March 31, 2015, $0.4 million of the remaining deferred gain is included as a component of Accounts payable and accrued expenses and $9.7 million, representing the noncurrent portion, is included as a component of Other liabilities on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. In July 2014, we sold the rights to construct a crude oil gathering and intermediate transportation system in South Texas to Republic Midstream, LLC (“Republic”) for proceeds of approximately $147 million, net of transaction costs. Concurrent with the sale, we entered into long-term agreements with Republic to provide us gathering and intermediate transportation services for a substantial portion of our future South Texas crude oil and condensate production. We realized a gain of $147.1 million, of which $63.0 million was recognized upon the closing of the transaction and the remaining $84.1 million was deferred and will be recognized over a twenty-five year period beginning after the system has been constructed and is operational, currently expected to be in the fourth quarter of 2015. As of March 31, 2015, $3.4 million of the deferred gain is included as a component of Accounts payable and accrued expenses and $80.7 million, representing the noncurrent portion, is included as a component of Other liabilities on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
