Constellation Energy Partners is an MLP which has not participated in the enormous MLP rally. Its business is the development and production of oil and natural gas properties. Approximately 99% of the production is natural gas, which is recovered from coalbed methane proved reserves and are located in the Black Warrior Basin in Alabama, the Cherokee Basin in Kansas and the Woodford Shale in the Arkoma Basin in Oklahoma. It has total estimated reserves of 549 Bcfe (the unit of measure), including proved reserves of 254 Bcfe. Additional investment highlights for CEP are:

* Ample long term drilling opportunities
* Operations concentrated in low risk basins
* Predictable production profile
* Active hedging program

If CEP gets its financials in order, and looks like it will, a distribution could be coming, possibly in 2011. Other MLPs which have dropped their distributions are on the rebound. BreitBurn Energy Partners (BBEP) has restored a distribution this year. Atlas Pipeline Partners (APL) and Crosstex Energy (XTEX) are hinting at resuming distributions shortly. Unit prices for these MLPs are in the high teens based on optimism about distributions. Patient investors who are willing to wait until next year, perhaps later in the year, will be rewarded if a distribution is restarted. When energy business at MLPs is strong, it could benefit, and, being a marginal (risky) MLP, CEP should see the greatest gains.
