sized to process excess gas volumes currently flaring or
above third-party contracts
– Phase 1 project cost $115MM
– Commissioned late November 2017
• Phase 2: “Long-term solution” - 120 MMcf/d cryogenic
plant sized to process 100% of Arrow gas by 2019
– Phase 2 project expected cost ~$185MM
– Targeted in-service Q2 2019
• Attractive total project returns of sub-6x; Phase 1
project accretive to DCF in 2018
Bear Den Plant – Phase 1

(a) Cash interest expense less amortization of deferred financing costs plus bond premium amortization plus or minus fair value adjustments.
(b) Maintenance capital expenditures are defined as those capital expenditures which do not increase operating capacity or revenues from existing levels.
(c) Includes cash distributions to Crestwood Niobrara preferred unitholders and cash distributions to preferred unitholders.
(d) Distributable cash flow is defined as Adjusted EBITDA, less cash interest expense, maintenance capital expenditures, income taxes, deficiency payments
(primarily related to deferred revenue). Distributable cash flow should not be considered an alternative to cash flows from operating activities or any other
measure of financial performance calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles as those items are used to measure operating
performance, liquidity, or the ability to service debt obligations. We believe that distributable cash flow provides additional information for evaluating our ability
to declare and pay distributions to unitholders. Distributable cash flow, as we define it, may not be comparable to distributable cash flow or similarly titled
measures used by other corporations and partnerships.
