On April 23, 2012, we, as guarantor, and Mid-Con Energy Properties, LLC (“Mid-Con Energy Properties”), our wholly owned subsidiary, as borrower, entered into an Agreement and Amendment No. 1 to the Credit Agreement (the “Amendment”), amending our $250 million, 5-year credit agreement dated December 20, 2011 (the “Credit Agreement”), with the Royal Bank of Canada, the various lenders party to the Credit Agreement and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (“Wells Fargo”).

The primary purpose of the Amendment was to increase Mid-Con Energy Properties’ borrowing base under the Credit Agreement from $75 million to $100 million. The increase is effective until the next borrowing base determination date. The Amendment also added Wells Fargo as an additional lender under the Credit Agreement.

The description of the Amendment set forth under this Item 1.01 is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete terms and conditions of the Amendment itself, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.

On April, 23, 2012, we issued a press release advising of the Amendment and the increase in our borrowing base under the Credit Agreement. A copy of the press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.

On April 26, 2012, we issued a press release announcing that the board of directors of our general partner, Mid-Con Energy GP, LLC, approved a cash distribution for the first quarter 2012.

A copy of the press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.2 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.

The information furnished pursuant to this Item 7.01, including Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2 hereto, shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), is not subject to the liabilities of that section and shall not be deemed incorporated by reference into any filing made under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act unless specifically identified therein as being incorporated therein by reference.

On April 26, 2012, the board of directors of our general partner, Mid-Con Energy GP, LLC, approved a cash distribution of $0.475 per common unit for the first quarter 2012. The first quarter distribution is payable on May 14, 2012 to unitholders of record as of May 7, 2012.
