Trends & Forces

Reliance on its Parent SemGroup

Rose Rock Midstream LP was formed by SemGroup, the proceeds of its IPO were given to SemGroup for its assets it transferred to the new company. However, Rose Rock continues to be dependent on SemGroup for potential future assets and acquisitions. While SemGroup owns substanital portions of Rose Rock and so the two have similar interests, SemGroup is not under any formal obligation to support Rose Rock's business operations. As a result, Rose Rock remains indirectly reliant on SemGroup.^{[4] [5]}
