Item 7.01    Regulation FD Disclosure.
On April 30, 2012, the Partnership issued two press releases relating to an incident at its Phoenix-Arrington Ranch processing facility in the Texas Panhandle. Copies of the press releases are attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and Exhibit 99.2, respectively, and are incorporated herein by reference.
The information set forth in this Item 7.01 and the attached Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2 includes “forward-looking statements.” All statements, other than statements of historical facts, included in this Item 7.01 and the attached exhibits that address activities, events or developments that the Partnership expects, believes or anticipates will or may occur in the future are forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are based on certain assumptions made by the Partnership in reliance on its experience and perception of historical trends, current conditions, expected future developments and other factors the Partnership believes are appropriate under the circumstances. Such statements are inherently uncertain and are subject to a number of risks, many of which are beyond the Partnership's control. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties occur, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, the Partnership's actual results and plans could differ materially from those implied or expressed by any forward-looking statement.
 
The Partnership undertakes no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information or future events. For a detailed list of the Partnership's risk factors and other cautionary statements, including without limitation risks related to the production, gathering, processing, marketing, and trading of natural gas and natural gas liquids, please consult the Partnership's Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, for the year ended December 31, 2011, as well as any other public filings and press releases.
 
The information in Item 7.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K and the attached Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2 is being “furnished” and shall not be deemed to be “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, and is not incorporated by reference into any Partnership filing, whether made before or after the date hereof, regardless of any general incorporation language in such filing.
