CorEnergy Infrastructure Trust, Inc. (the “Company”) is unable to file timely its quarterly report on Form 10‑Q for the fiscal period ended September 30, 2015 (the “Form 10-Q”) without unreasonable effort and expense, due to unforeseen technical difficulties encountered in the conversion of the exhibits to its Form 10‑Q into EDGAR filing format. As a result, the Company is seeking the extension provided by filing this Form 12b-25 in order to allow it more time to complete the EDGARization of the document. The Company expects that the conversion of the exhibits will be completed to ensure timely filing of its Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2015 prior to the reporting deadline provided by such extension.

The Form 10-Q reflects significant changes to the Company’s sources of revenue and results of operations since the end of the third quarter of its prior fiscal year, due primarily to the Company having completed the following significant acquisitions since September 30, 2014:

On November 24, 2014, a subsidiary of the Company completed the acquisition of all of the equity interests of MoGas Pipeline, LLC and United Property Systems, LLC (collectively, the “MoGas Transaction”). MoGas is the owner and operator of an approximately 263 mile interstate natural gas pipeline system in and around St. Louis and extending into central Missouri.

On June 30, 2015, a subsidiary of the Company completed the acquisition of the Grand Isle Gathering System (the “GIGS”), a subsea, midstream pipeline system in the Gulf of Mexico, and simultaneously entered into a long-term triple-net lease agreement relating to the use of the GIGS with Energy XXI GIGS Services, LLC, a wholly owned operating subsidiary of Energy XXI Ltd.

The Company also (i) issued 2,250,000 depositary shares, each representing 1/100th of a share of its 7.375% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock, in the first quarter of fiscal 2015 and (ii) recognized a provision for loan losses during the quarter ended September 30, 2015 of approximately $8.0 million in connection with its outstanding financing notes receivable from Black Bison Water Services LLC and its affiliates. Primarily as a result of these transactions, the Company’s reported revenue and results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 reflected the following significant changes from the corresponding results for the nine months ended September 30, 2014:

Lease revenue totaled $31.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 as compared to $21.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014.

Transportation revenue from the MoGas system totaled $10.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 as compared to $0 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014.

Total revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 were $48.8 million as compared to $28.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014.

Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 was $9.9 million as compared to $8.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, and net income attributable to common stockholders for the nine months
