FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
NEW SOURCE ENERGY PARTNERS REPORTS THIRD QUARTER 2014 RESULTS

OKLAHOMA CITY, OKLAHOMA, November�6, 2014 - New Source Energy Partners L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (NYSE: NSLP) (the Partnership or New Source), today announced financial and operating results for the quarter ended September�30, 2014 and updates guidance for the fourth quarter 2014 and full year 2015.

Third Quarter 2014 Highlights
"
Distributable cash flow ("DCF") per unit of $0.73 for the third quarter 2014, an increase of approximately 62% compared to the third quarter 2013
"
DCF of approximately $13.0 million and DCF coverage ratio of 1.25x for the third quarter of 2014

"During the third quarter, the Partnership focused on strengthening the foundation of our business," said Kristian Kos, Chairman and CEO. "We continue to maintain a strong balance sheet, have ample liquidity with a low debt to EBITDA ratio and hold a strong coverage ratio putting the Partnership in position to continue our footprint expansion both organically and through acquisitions."

Oilfield Services Results
Adjusted EBITDA for the Oilfield Services division was approximately $11.5 million compared to $2.9 million in the second quarter of 2014. Revenue was approximately $40.9 million for the third quarter of 2014 with an average weekly rig count of 1,166 compared to $10.1 million in the second quarter of 2014 with an average weekly rig count of 1,057. The increase in Adjusted EBITDA and revenue in the third quarter of 2014 is primarily attributable to realizing a full quarter of activity from the acquisitions of Erick Flowback Services ("EFS") and Rod's Production Services ("RPS") on June 26, 2014. With the acquisitions of EFS and RPS, we are able to expand our oilfield services product line and geographic areas in which we operate, including the premier basins in the United States. The Partnership's oilfield





services segment was established with the MCE Acquisition that occurred in November 2013. As such, comparative information for the 2013 period is not available

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
New Source presents Adjusted EBITDA, DCF and Distributable Cash Flow Coverage Ratio (Coverage Ratio), which are non-GAAP financial measures, in this press release.� New Source defines Adjusted EBITDA as earnings before interest expense, taxes, depreciation, depletion and amortization, accretion expense, non-cash compensation expense, acquisition and transaction fees, (gain) loss on derivative contracts net of cash paid on settlement of derivative contracts and other non-recurring gains and losses.� New Source defines DCF as Adjusted EBITDA less cash interest expense and estimated maintenance capital expenditures, as defined below.� New Source calculates its Coverage Ratio using DCF generated during the period compared to the aggregate cash distributions paid with respect to the period.

Estimated maintenance capital expenditures represent New Sources estimate of the amount of capital expenditures necessary to maintain the revenue generating capabilities of its assets at current levels over the long term.� Following the acquisition of MCE, LP, management and the Board of Directors changed the method of estimating maintenance capital expenditures to a calculation based on the estimated capital expenditures required to replace revenue generating assets (including production and producing reserves from its oil and natural gas operations and vehicles and other equipment from its oilfield services operations) on an individualized basis. With respect to its oil and natural gas operations, estimated maintenance capital expenditures represents the average cost to replace a barrel of oil equivalent, using the historical average finding and development costs over the preceding five-year period and the actual production volume for such period.� With respect to its oilfield services operations, estimated maintenance capital expenditures represent the estimated replacement costs for current equipment whose useful lives are scheduled to be completed during the given year.

New Source believes that the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures provides useful information to investors in assessing our results of operations. The tables included in this press release provide reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP.� Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as an alternative to GAAP measures





such as net income or any other measure of liquidity or financial performance calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP.� Investors should not consider Adjusted EBITDA, DCF or Coverage Ratio in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of the Partnerships results as reported under GAAP.� Because Adjusted EBITDA, DCF and Coverage Ratio may be defined differently by other companies in our industry, New Sources definitions may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies, thereby diminishing their utility.

The following tables present a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA and DCF to net (loss) income, the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP.

__________
(1) Reflects certain changes to align to current methodology for calculating Adjusted EBITDA.

(2) Amounts reflect managements estimates of maintenance capital expenditures during the period presented. Actual maintenance capital expenditures will vary depending on various factors, including, but not limited to, maintenance schedules and the timing of capital projects. Of the estimated maintenance capital expenditures for the three months ended September�30, 2014, approximately $3.5 million (427,501 Boe produced x $8.20 Boe produced) relates to the Exploration and Production division and approximately $1.6 million relates to the Oilfield Services division.

(3) Excludes approximately $0.4 million of distributions paid on common units issued in October 2014. Including such distributions would result in a Coverage Ratio of 1.20x for the third quarter distribution.
