On February 7, 2018, Tallgrass Energy Partners, LP ("TEP") issued a joint press release with Silver Creek Midstream, LLC announcing that they have signed definitive documents to develop the Iron Horse Pipeline, a joint venture pipeline to transport crude oil from the Powder River Basin to Guernsey, Wyoming. A copy of this press release is furnished with this Form 8-K as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated into this Item 7.01 by reference.
In addition, on February 7, 2018, TEP issued a press release announcing that its subsidiary BNN Water Solutions, LLC has acquired Buckhorn SWD Solutions, LLC and Buckhorn Energy Services, LLC. A copy of this press release is furnished with this Form 8-K as Exhibit 99.2 and incorporated into this Item 7.01 by reference.
