Item 4.01 Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant.

Effective August 1, 2008, Quest Energy Partners, L.P.’s (the “Partnership”) independent registered public accounting firm, Murrell, Hall, McIntosh & Co. PLLP (“MHM”), merged with Eide Bailly, LLP (“Eide Bailly”). On August 1, 2008, and concurrently with the resignation of MHM, the Partnership, through and with the approval of the Audit Committee of the Partnership’s general partner’s Board of Directors, engaged Eide Bailly as its independent registered public accounting firm.

Prior to engaging Eide Bailly, the Partnership did not consult with Eide Bailly regarding the application of accounting principles to a specific or contemplated transaction or regarding the type of audit opinions that might be rendered by Eide Bailly on the Partnership’s financial statements, and Eide Bailly did not provide any written or oral advice that was an important factor considered by the Partnership in reaching a decision as to any such accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue.

The reports of MHM regarding the Partnership’s financial statements for the period from November 15, 2007 through December 31, 2007 and the Partnership’s predecessor’s financial statements for the period from January 1, 2007 through November 14, 2007 and for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006 did not contain any adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.

There have been no disagreements with MHM on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of MHM, would have caused it to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreements in connection with its reports.

There have been no reportable events with respect to the Partnership as described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.

The Partnership provided MHM a copy of this Current Report on Form 8-K prior to its filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and requested that MHM furnish the Partnership with a letter addressed to the SEC stating whether MHM agrees with the above statements. A copy of the letter, dated August 7, 2008, is filed as Exhibit 16.1 (which is incorporated herein by reference) to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

Item 9.01 Financial Statements and Exhibits.
