NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
| |
A. | SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
Our accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. These statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP and reflect all adjustments that, in our opinion, are necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The 20162017 year-end consolidated balance sheetConsolidated Balance Sheet data was derived from our audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP. Certain reclassifications have been made in the prior-year financial statements to conform to the current-yearcurrent year presentation. These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report and our Current Report on Form 8-K filed on July 6, 2017, which updates Item 8 in our Annual Report.
Our significant accounting policies are consistent with those disclosed in Note A of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our Annual Report, except as described below.
Merger Transaction - On June 30, 2017, we completed the acquisition of all of the outstanding common units of ONEOK Partners that we did not already own. See Note Bown at a fixed exchange ratio of 0.985 of a share of our common stock for additional information, including a discussioneach ONEOK Partners common unit. We issued 168.9 million shares of our common stock to third-party common unitholders of ONEOK Partners in exchange for all of the impact171.5 million outstanding common units of ONEOK Partners that we previously did not own. As a result of the completion of the Merger Transaction, on our Consolidated Financial Statements.common units of ONEOK Partners are no longer publicly traded.
Discontinued Operations - BeginningPrior to June 30, 2017, we and our subsidiaries owned all of the general partner interest, which included incentive distribution rights, and a portion of the limited partner interest, which together represented a 41.2 percent ownership interest in ONEOK Partners. The earnings of ONEOK Partners that are attributed to its units held by the public until June 30, 2017, the results of operations and financial position of our former energy services business are no longer reflectedreported as discontinued operations“Net income attributable to noncontrolling interest” in our accompanying Consolidated Statements of Income. Our general partner incentive distribution rights effectively terminated at the closing of the Merger Transaction.
Our significant accounting policies are consistent with those disclosed in Note A of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements,in our Annual Report, except as they are not material.described below.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards Update - Changes to GAAP are established by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) in the form of ASUs to the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. We consider the applicability and impact of all ASUs. ASUs not listed below were assessed and determined to be either not applicable or clarifications of ASUs listed below. We also exclude ASUs not yet adopted that were disclosed in our Annual Report to not materially impact us. The following tables provide a brief description of recent accounting pronouncements and our analysis of the effects on our financial statements:
|
| | | | | | |
Standard | | Description | | Date of Adoption | | Effect on the Financial Statements or Other Significant Matters |
Standards that were adopted | | | | |
ASU 2015-11, “Inventory (Topic 330): Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory” | | The standard requires that inventory, excluding inventory measured using last-in, first-out (LIFO) or the retail inventory method, be measured at the lower of cost or net realizable value. | | First quarter 2017 | | As a result of adopting this guidance, we updated our accounting policy for inventory valuation accordingly. The financial impact of adopting this guidance was not material. |
ASU 2016-05, “Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Effect of Derivative Contract Novations on Existing Hedge Accounting Relationships” | | The standard clarifies that a change in the counterparty to a derivative instrument that has been designated as the hedging instrument under Topic 815 does not, in and of itself, require dedesignation of that hedging relationship provided that all other hedge accounting criteria continue to be met. | | First quarter 2017 | | The impact of adopting this standard was not material. |
ASU 2016-06, “Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Contingent Put and Call Options in Debt Instruments” | | The standard clarifies the requirements for assessing whether a contingent call (put) option that can accelerate the payment of principal on a debt instrument is clearly and closely related to its debt host. | | First quarter 2017 | | The impact of adopting this standard was not material. |
ASU 2016-09, “Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting” | | The standard provides simplified accounting for share-based payment transactions in relation to income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows. | | First quarter 2017 | | As a result of adopting this guidance, we recorded an adjustment increasing beginning retained earnings and deferred tax assets in the first quarter 2017 of approximately $73 million to recognize previously unrecognized cumulative excess tax benefits related to share-based payments on a modified retrospective basis. Beginning in January 2017, all share-based payment tax effects are recorded in earnings. The other effects of adopting this standard were not material. |

Standards that are not yet adopted | | | | |
ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)”
| | The standard outlines the principles an entity must apply to measure and recognize revenue for entities that enter into contracts to provide goods or services to their customers. The core principle is that an entity should recognize revenue at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring goods or services to a customer. The amendment also requires more extensive disaggregated revenue disclosures in interim and annual financial statements. | | First quarter 2018 | | We expect to adoptadopted this standard on January 1, 2018, using the modified retrospective method. We have not completed our analysis to quantifyrecognized the cumulative effect of adoption adjustmentadopting the new revenue standard as an increase to beginning retained earnings but doof $1.7 million. Results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2018, are presented under the new standard, while prior periods are not expect itadjusted and continue to be material. For manyreported under the accounting standards in effect for those periods. The adoption of our contracts, we do not expect material changes in our accounting policies or revenue recognition. However, under Topic 606 we expect thatwas not material to our net income; however, a significant portion of amounts historically presented as services revenues will beare now presented as a reduction of cost of sales and fuel, for certain midstream service contracts where we also purchase raw natural gas or unfractionated NGLs. Under Topic 606, these contracts are considered supplier contracts rather than contracts with customers. We have not completed our analysis to quantify the amount expected to be reclassified to cost of sales and fuel from services revenue, but expect it to be material. We do not believefuel. See Note K for discussion of these changes and additional disclosures. |

We are developing required disclosures and expect to disaggregate revenues on a segment basis similar to our current presentation in Management’s Discussion and Analysis.

ASU 2016-01, “Financial Instruments-Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities” | | The standard requires all equity investments, other than those accounted for using the equity method of accounting or those that result in consolidation of the investee, to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income, eliminates the available-for-sale classification for equity securities with readily determinable fair values and eliminates the cost method for equity investments without readily determinable fair values. | | First quarter 2018 | | We do not have any equity investments classified as available-for-sale or accounted for using the cost method,method; therefore, we do not expect adoptionthe impact of adopting of this standard to have a material impact on us.was not material. |
ASU 2016-15, “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments” | | The standard clarifies the classification of certain cash receipts and cash payments on the statement of cash flows where diversity in practice has been identified. | | First quarter 2018 | | We do not expect the adoptionThe impact of adopting this standard to materially impact us.was not material. |
ASU 2017-07, “Compensation - Retirement Benefits (Topic 715): Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost” | | The standard requires the service cost component of net benefit cost to be reported in the same line item or items as other compensation costs from services rendered by the pertinent employees during the period. The other components of net benefit cost are required to be presented in the income statement separately from the service cost component and outside a subtotal of income from operations. | | First quarter 2018 | | We do not expectadopted this standard on January 1, 2018, and utilized the practical expedient to estimate the impact on the prior comparative period information presented. Immaterial reclassifications have been made to prior comparative period information to reflect the current period presentation. Prior to adoption, we expensed all components of the net periodic benefit costs for our pension and postretirement benefit plans in operations and maintenance expense. We now record only the service component of the net periodic benefit costs in operations and maintenance expense, with the remainder being recorded in other expense. There was no change to net income from the adoption of this standard. |
ASU 2017-12, “Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities” | | The standard more closely aligns hedge accounting with companies’ existing risk-management strategies by expanding the strategies eligible for hedge accounting, relaxing the timing requirements of hedge documentation and effectiveness assessments, permitting in certain cases, the use of qualitative assessments on an ongoing basis to materially impact us.assess hedge effectiveness, and requiring new disclosures and presentation. | | First quarter 2018 | | We adopted this standard in the first quarter 2018 and recorded an immaterial cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings and other comprehensive income to eliminate the separate measurement of hedge ineffectiveness. See Note C for changes to disclosures due to adopting this standard. |
ASU 2018-02, “Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income” | | This standard allows a reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings for stranded tax effects resulting from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. | | First quarter 2018 | | We adopted this standard in the first quarter 2018 and recorded a $38.1 million adjustment to retained earnings and accumulated other comprehensive income to eliminate the stranded tax effects resulting from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. |

Standards that are not yet adopted(continued) | | | | |
ASU 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)” | | The standard requires the recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities by lessees for those leases classified as operating leases under previous GAAP. It also requires qualitative disclosures along with specific quantitative disclosures by lessees and lessors to meet the objective of enabling users of financial statements to assess the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. | | First quarter 2019 | | We are evaluating our current leases and other contracts that may be considered leases under the new standard and the impact on our internal controls, accounting policies and financial statements and disclosures. We have developed a database of our existing leases, and we have implemented accounting software to facilitate compliance with this standard. We are developing internal controls designed to ensure the completeness and accuracy of the data. Upon adoption of Topic 842, we expect to recognize right of use assets and lease liabilities not previously recorded on our Consolidated Balance Sheets and provide required footnote disclosures. We do not expect the impact of adopting this standard to be material to our Consolidated Financial Statements. We expect to elect the transition practical expedient, which allows us to not evaluate land easements that existed prior to January 1, 2019, and the optional transition method to record the adoption impact through a cumulative adjustment to equity. |
ASU 2017-12, “Derivatives and Hedging2018-07, “Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 815)718): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging ActivitiesNonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting” | | The standard more closely aligns hedge accountingthe measurement and classification guidance for share-based payments to nonemployees with companies’ existing risk-management strategies by expanding the strategies eligibleguidance for hedge accounting, relaxing the timing requirements of hedge documentation and effectiveness assessments, permitting inshare-based payments to employees, with certain cases, the use of qualitative assessments on an ongoing basis to assess hedge effectiveness, and requiring new disclosures and presentation.exceptions. | | First Quarter 2019 | | We are evaluating the timing of adoption and the impact of this standard on us. At adoption, we expect to record a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings and other comprehensive income to eliminate the separate measurement of hedge ineffectiveness, which we do not expect to be material. We expect immaterial changes to disclosures as a result of adopting this standard. |
ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments” | | The standard requires a financial asset (or a group of financial assets) measured at amortized cost basis to be presented net of the allowance for credit losses to reflect the net carrying value at the amount expected to be collected on the financial asset; and the initial allowance for credit losses for purchased financial assets, including available-for-sale debt securities, to be added to the purchase price rather than being reported as a credit loss expense. | | First quarter 20202019
| | We do not expect the adoption of this standard to materially impact us. |

|
Goodwill Impairment Review - We assess our goodwill for impairment at least annually as of July 1. At July 1, 2017,2018, we assessed qualitative factors to determine whether it was more likely than not that the fair value of each of our reporting units was less than its carrying amount. After assessing qualitative factors (including macroeconomic conditions, industry and market considerations, cost factors and overall financial performance), we determined that it was more likely than not that the fair value of each reporting unit was greater than its respective carrying value, that no further testing was necessary and that goodwill was not considered impaired.
Impairment Charges - In the third quarter 2017, following a review of nonstrategic assets for potential divestiture, we recorded $16.0 million of noncash impairment charges related to certain nonstrategic gathering and processing assets located in North Dakota and $4.3 million of noncash impairment charges related to a nonstrategic equity investment located in Oklahoma.

B. | ACQUISITION OF ONEOK PARTNERS |
On June 30, 2017, we completed the Merger Transaction at a fixed exchange ratio of 0.985 of a share of our common stock for each ONEOK Partners common unit that we did not already own. We issued 168.9 million shares of our common stock to third-party common unitholders of ONEOK Partners in exchange for all of the 171.5 million outstanding common units of ONEOK Partners that we previously did not own. No fractional shares were issued in the Merger Transaction, and ONEOK
Partners common unitholders instead received cash in lieu of fractional shares. As a result of the completion of the Merger Transaction, common units of ONEOK Partners are no longer publicly traded.
As we controlled ONEOK Partners and continue to control ONEOK Partners after the Merger Transaction, the change in our ownership interest was accounted for as an equity transaction, and no gain or loss was recognized in our Consolidated Statements of Income resulting from the Merger Transaction. The Merger Transaction was a taxable exchange to the ONEOK Partners unitholders resulting in a book/tax difference in the basis of the underlying assets acquired. We recorded a deferred tax asset of approximately $2.1 billion, computed as the net of the equity value exchanged of $8.8 billion and noncontrolling interests of $3.0 billion at a tax rate of 37 percent, based on a preliminary tax allocation of the transaction value. Final allocation is subject to completion of our valuation study.
Prior to June 30, 2017, we and our subsidiaries owned all of the general partner interest, which included incentive distribution rights, and a portion of the limited partner interest, which together represented a 41.2 percent ownership interest in ONEOK Partners. The equity interests in ONEOK Partners (which are consolidated in our financial statements) that were owned by the public until June 30, 2017, are reflected in “Noncontrolling interests” in our accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2016. The earnings of ONEOK Partners that are attributed to its units held by the public until June 30, 2017, are reported as “Net income attributable to noncontrolling interest” in our accompanying Consolidated Statements of Income. Our general partner incentive distribution rights effectively terminated at the closing of the Merger Transaction.
Effective with the close of the Merger Transaction, we, ONEOK Partners and the Intermediate Partnership issued, to the extent not already in place, guarantees of the indebtedness of ONEOK and ONEOK Partners.
Supplemental Cash Flow Information - Our noncash balance sheet activity related to the Merger Transaction is as follows (in millions):
|
| | | | |
Common stock | | $ | 1.7 |
|
Paid-in capital | | $ | 5,228.6 |
|
Accumulated other comprehensive loss | | $ | (40.3 | ) |
Noncontrolling interests in consolidated subsidiaries | | $ | (3,043.5 | ) |
Deferred income taxes | | $ | (2,146.5 | ) |
| |
C. | FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS |
Determining Fair Value - We define fair value as the price that would be received from the sale of an asset or the transfer of a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. We use market and income approaches to determine the fair value of our assets and liabilities and consider the markets in which the transactions are executed. We measure the fair value of a group of financial assets and liabilities consistent with how a market participant would price the net risk exposure at the measurement date.
While many of the contracts in our derivative portfolio are executed in liquid markets where price transparency exists, some contracts are executed in markets for which market prices may exist, but the market may be relatively inactive. This results in limited price transparency that requires management’s judgment and assumptions to estimate fair values. For certain transactions, we utilize modeling techniques using NYMEX-settled pricing data and implied forward LIBOR curves. Inputs into our fair value estimates include commodity-exchange prices, over-the-counter quotes, historical correlations of pricing data, data obtained from third-party pricing services and LIBOR and other liquid money-market instrument rates. We validate our valuation inputs with third-party information and settlement prices from other sources, where available.
In addition, as prescribed by the income approach, we compute the fair value of our derivative portfolio by discounting the projected future cash flows from our derivative assets and liabilities to present value using interest-rate yields to calculate present-value discount factors derived from LIBOR, Eurodollar futures and the LIBOR interest-rate swaps market. We also take into consideration
contemplate the potential impact on market prices of liquidating positions in an orderly manner over a reasonable period of time under current market conditions. We consider current market data in evaluating counterparties’, as well as our own, nonperformance risk, net of collateral, by using specific and sector bond yields and monitoring the credit default swap markets. Although we use our best estimates to determine the fair value of the derivative contracts we have executed, the ultimate market prices realized could differ materially from our estimates, and the differences could be material.estimates.
The fair value of our forward-starting interest-rate swaps are determined using financial models that incorporate the implied forward LIBOR yield curve for the same period as the future interest-rate swap settlements.
Fair Value Hierarchy - At each balance sheet date, we utilize a fair value hierarchy to classify fair value amounts recognized or disclosed in our financial statements based on the observability of inputs used to estimate such fair value. The levels of the hierarchy are described below:
Level 1 - fair value measurements are based on unadjusted quoted prices for identical securities in active markets, including NYMEX-settled prices. These balances are comprisedcomposed predominantly of exchange-traded derivative contracts for natural gas and crude oil.
Level 2 - fair value measurements are based on significant observable pricing inputs, such as NYMEX-settled prices for natural gas and crude oil, and financial models that utilize implied forward LIBOR yield curves for interest-rate swaps.
Level 3 - fair value measurements are based on inputs that may include one or more unobservable inputs, including internally developed natural gas basis and NGL price curves that incorporate observable and unobservable market data from broker quotes, third-party pricing services, market volatilities derived from the most recent NYMEX close spot prices and forward LIBOR curves, and adjustments for the credit risk of our counterparties. We corroborate the data on which our fair value estimates are based using our market knowledge of recent transactions, analysis of historical correlations and validation with independent broker quotes. These balances categorized as Level 3 are composed of derivatives for natural gas and NGLs. We do not believe that our Level 3 fair value estimates have a material impact on our results of operations, as the majority of our derivatives are accounted for as hedges for which ineffectiveness has not been material.hedges.
Determining the appropriate classification of our fair value measurementsmeasurement classification within the fair value hierarchy requires management’s judgment regarding the degree to which market data is observable or corroborated by observable market data. We categorize derivatives for which fair value is determined using multiple inputs within a single level, based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.

Realized/unrealized gains (losses) include the realization of our derivative contracts through maturity. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 20172018 and 2016,2017, gains or losses included in earnings attributable to the change in unrealized gains or losses relating to assets and liabilities still held at the end of each reporting period were not material.
We recognize transfers into and out of the levels in the fair value hierarchy as of the end of each reporting period. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 20172018 and 2016,2017, there were no transferstransfers between levels.
Other Financial Instruments - The approximate fair value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and short-term borrowings is equal to book value due to the short-term nature of these items. Our cash and cash equivalents are composed of bank and money market accounts and are classified as Level 1. Our short-term borrowings are classified as Level 2 since the estimated fair value of the short-term borrowings can be determined using information available in the commercial paper market.
The estimated fair value of our consolidated long-term debt, including current maturities, was $9.3 billion and $8.8 billion at September 30, 2017,2018, and December 31, 2016, respectively.2017. The book value of our consolidated long-term debt, including current maturities, was $8.5$8.8 billion and $8.3$8.5 billion at September 30, 2017,2018, and December 31, 2016,2017, respectively.

D.C. | RISK-MANAGEMENT AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES USING DERIVATIVES |
Risk-Management Activities - We are sensitive to changes in natural gas, crude oil and NGL prices, principally as a result of contractual terms under which these commodities are processed, purchased processed and sold. We are also subject to the risk of interest-rate fluctuation in the normal course of business. We use physical-forward purchases and sales and financial derivatives to
secure a certain price for a portion of our natural gas, condensate and NGL products; to reduce our exposure to commodity price and interest-rate fluctuations; and to achieve more predictable cash flows. We follow established policies and procedures to assess risk and approve, monitor and report our risk-management activities. We have not used these instruments for trading purposes.
Commodity price risk - Commodity price risk refers to the risk of loss in cash flows and future earnings arising from adverse changes in the price of natural gas, NGLs and condensate. We use the following commodity derivative instruments to reduce the near-term commodity price risk associated with a portion of the forecasted sales of these commodities:
Futures contracts - Standardized contracts to purchase or sell natural gas and crude oil for future delivery or settlement under the provisions of exchange regulations;
Forward contracts - Nonstandardized commitments between two parties to purchase or sell natural gas, crude oil or NGLs for future physical delivery. These contracts are typically nontransferable and can only be canceled with the consent of both parties;
Swaps - Exchange of one or more payments based on the value of one or more commodities. These instruments transfer the financial risk associated with a future change in value between the counterparties of the transaction, without also conveying ownership interest in the asset or liability; and
Options - Contractual agreements that give the holder the right, but not the obligation, to buy or sell a fixed quantity of a commodity at a fixed price within a specified period of time. Options may either be standardized and exchange-traded or customized and nonexchange-traded.
We may also use other instruments including collars to mitigate commodity price risk. A collar is a combination of a purchased put option and a sold call option, which places a floor and a ceiling price for commodity sales being hedged.
In our Natural Gas Gathering and Processing segment, we are exposed to commodity price risk as a result of retaining a portion of the commodity sales proceeds associated with our POP with fee contracts. Under certain POP with fee contracts, our fees and POP percentage may increase or decrease if production volumes, delivery pressures or commodity prices change relative to specified thresholds. We also are exposed to basis risk between the various production and market locations where we buy and sell commodities. As part of our hedging strategy, we use the previously described commodity derivative financial instruments and physical-forward contracts to reduce the impact of price fluctuations related to natural gas, NGLs and condensate.
In our Natural Gas Liquids segment, we are exposed to location price differential risk, primarily as a result of the relative value of NGL purchases at one location and sales at another location. We are also exposed to commodity price risk resulting from the relative values of the various NGL products to each other, the value of NGLs in storage and the relative value of NGLs to natural gas. We are also exposed to location price differential risk as a result of the relative value of NGL purchases at one location and sales at another location, primarily related to our optimization and marketing businesses. As part of our hedging strategy, we utilize physical-forward contracts and commodity derivative financial instruments to reduce the impact of price fluctuations related to NGLs.
In our Natural Gas Pipelines segment, we are exposed to commodity price risk because our intrastate and interstate natural gas pipelines retain natural gas from our customers for operations or as part of our fee for services provided. When the amount of natural gas consumed in operations by these pipelines differs from the amount provided by our customers, our pipelines must buy or sell natural gas, or store or use natural gas from inventory, which maycan expose this segment to commodity price risk depending on the regulatory treatment for this activity. To the extent that commodity price risk in our Natural Gas Pipelines segment is not mitigated by fuel cost-recovery mechanisms, we may use physical-forward sales or purchases to reduce the impact of price fluctuations related to natural gas. At September 30, 2017,2018, and December 31, 2016,2017, there were no financial derivative instruments with respect to our natural gas pipeline operations.
Interest-rate risk - We manage interest-rate risk through the use of fixed-rate debt, floating-rate debt, interest-rate swaps and interest-rate swaps.treasury lock contracts. Interest-rate swaps are agreements to exchange interest payments at some future point based on specified notional amounts. In July 2017,2018, we settled $400 millionentered into $1.5 billion of our forward-starting interest-rate swaps upon the completion of our underwritten public offering of $1.2 billion senior unsecured notes and $500 million of our interest-rate swaps used to hedge our LIBOR-based interest payments. In September 2017, we entered into forward-starting interest-rate swaps with notional amounts totaling $500 milliontreasury lock contracts to hedge the variability of interest payments on a portion of our forecasted debt issuances that may result from changes in the benchmark interest rate before the debt is issued.
our forward-starting interest rate swaps and treasury lock contracts related to our underwritten public offering of $1.25 billion senior unsecured notes completed in July 2018, and the remaining $500 million of our interest-rate swaps used to hedge our LIBOR-based interest payments.
At September 30, 2017,2018, and December 31, 2016,2017, we had forward-starting interest-rate swaps with notional amounts totaling $1.3$1.8 billion and $1.2$1.3 billion, respectively, to hedge the variability of interest payments on a portion of our forecasted debt issuances andissuances. At December 31, 2017, we had interest-rate swaps with a notional amountsamount totaling $500 million and $1 billion, respectively, to hedge the variability of our LIBOR-based interest payments. All of our interest-rate swaps are designated as cash flow hedges.
Accounting Treatment - Our accounting treatment of derivative instruments is consistent with that disclosed in Note A of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our Annual Report.Report, updated for the adoption of ASU 2017-12.

Cash Flow Hedges - At September 30, 2017,2018, our Consolidated Balance Sheet reflected a net loss of $181.8$158.1 million in accumulated other comprehensive loss. The portion of accumulated other comprehensive loss attributable to our commodity derivative financial instruments is an unrealized loss of $19.9$37.2 million, net of tax, which is expected to be realized within the
next three years27 months as the forecasted transactions affect earnings. If commodity prices remain at current levels, we will realize approximately $19.1$30.5 million in net losses, net of tax, over the next 12 months and approximately $0.8$6.7 million in net losses, net of tax, thereafter.

Credit Risk - We monitor the creditworthiness of our counterparties and compliance with policies and limits established by our Risk Oversight and Strategy Committee. We maintain credit policies with regard to our counterparties that we believe minimize overall credit risk. These policies include an evaluation of potential counterparties’ financial condition (including credit ratings, bond yields and credit default swap rates), collateral requirements under certain circumstances and the use of standardized master-netting agreements that allow us to net the positive and negative exposures associated with a single counterparty. We have counterparties whose credit is not rated, and for those customers, we use internally developed credit ratings.ratings for counterparties that do not have a credit rating.
From time to time, we may enter into financial derivative instruments that contain provisions that require us to maintain an investment-grade credit rating from S&P and/or Moody’s. If our credit ratings on our senior unsecured long-term debt were to decline below investment grade, the counterparties to the derivative instruments could request collateralization on derivative instruments in net liability positions. There were no financial derivative instruments with contingent features related to credit risk at September 30, 2017.2018.
The counterparties to our derivative contracts typically consist primarily of major energy companies, financial institutions and commercial and industrial end users. This concentration of counterparties may affect our overall exposure to credit risk, either positively or negatively, in that the counterparties may be affected similarly by changes in economic, regulatory or other conditions. Based on our policies, exposures, credit and other reserves, we do not anticipate a material adverse effect on our financial position or results of operations as a result of counterparty nonperformance.
At September 30, 20172018, the net credit exposure from our derivative assets is with investment-grade companies in the financial services sector.

Accounts payable to our equity-method investees at September 30, 2017,2018, and December 31, 2016,2017, were $13.1$12.6 million and $11.1$13.6 million, respectively.
Northern Border Pipeline - The Northern Border Pipeline partnership agreement provides that distributions to Northern Border Pipeline’s partners are to be made on a pro rata basis according to each partner’s percentage interest. The Northern Border Pipeline Management Committee determines the amount and timing of such distributions. Any changes to, or suspension of, the cash distribution policy of Northern Border Pipeline requires the unanimous approval of the Northern Border Pipeline Management Committee. Cash distributions are equal to 100 percent of distributable cash flow as determined from Northern Border Pipeline’s financial statements based upon EBITDA less interest expense and maintenance capital expenditures. Loans or other advances from Northern Border Pipeline to its partners or affiliates are prohibited under its credit
agreement. DuringIn the nine months ended September 30,third quarter 2017, we made an equity contributioncontributions of $83 million to Northern Border Pipeline. In 2018, we made no contributions to Northern Border Pipeline.
Northern Border Pipeline entered into a settlement with shippers that was approved by the FERC in February 2018. The settlement provides for tiered tariff rate reductions beginning January 1, 2018, that will reduce tariff rates 12.5 percent by January 2020, compared with previous tariff rates, and requires new tariff rates to be established by January 2024. We do not expect the impact of lower tariff rates on Northern Border Pipeline’s earnings and cash distributions to be material to us.
Overland Pass Pipeline Company - The Overland Pass Pipeline Company limited liability company agreement provides that distributions to Overland Pass Pipeline Company’s members are to be made on a pro rata basis according to each member’s percentage interest. The Overland Pass Pipeline Company Management Committee determines the amount and timing of such distributions. Any changes to, or suspension of, cash distributions from Overland Pass Pipeline Company requires the unanimous approval of the Overland Pass Pipeline Company Management Committee. Cash distributions are equal to 100 percent of available cash as defined in the limited liability company agreement.
Roadrunner Gas Transmission - The Roadrunner limited liability company agreement provides that distributions to members are made on a pro rata basis according to each member’s ownership interest. As the operator, we have been delegated the authority to determine such distributions in accordance with, and on the frequency set forth in, the Roadrunner limited liability company agreement. Cash distributions are equal to 100 percent of available cash, as defined in the limited liability company agreement. During the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, we made contributions of $0.5 million and $4.0 million to Roadrunner, respectively.
We have an operating agreement with Roadrunner that provides for reimbursement or payment to us for management services and certain operating costs. Reimbursements and payments from Roadrunner included in operating income in our Consolidated Statements of Income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 20172018 and 2016,2017, were not material.

K.J. | COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES |
Environmental Matters and Pipeline Safety - The operation of pipelines, plants and other facilities for the gathering, processing, transportation and storage of natural gas, NGLs, condensate and other products is subject to numerous and complex laws and regulations pertaining to health, safety and the environment. As an owner and/or operator of these facilities, we must comply with United States laws and regulations at the federal, state, local and localtribal levels that relate to air and water quality, hazardous and solid waste management and disposal, cultural resource protection and other environmental matters. The cost of planning, designing, constructing and operating pipelines, plants and other facilities must incorporate compliance with environmentalthese laws and regulations and safety standards. Failure to comply with these laws and regulations may trigger a variety of administrative, civil and potentially criminal enforcement measures, including citizen suits, which can include the assessment of monetary penalties, the imposition of remedial requirements and the issuance of injunctions or restrictions on operation.operation or construction. Management
believes that, based on currently known information, compliance with these laws and regulations will not have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.
Regulatory - The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act made extensive changes to the U.S. tax laws and includes provisions that reduce the U.S. corporate tax rate to 21 percent from 35 percent, increase expensing for capital investment, and limit the interest deduction and use of net operating losses to offset future taxable income. The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act may reduce future tariff rates charged on our regulated pipelines. The rates charged to our customers have generally been established through shipper specific negotiation, discounts and negotiated settlements, which do not ascribe any specific cost of service elements. We expect future tariff rate changes, if any, related to the change in the U.S. corporate tax rate to be established prospectively over time on a similar negotiated basis. In July 2018, the FERC issued a final rule on the impact of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act on FERC-regulated rates for natural gas pipelines, which indicated that a reduction in rates, if any, related to the decrease in the corporate tax rate would be prospective only. We do not expect the impact of this final rule to materially affect us.
The July 2018 final rule, which incorporates the Order on Rehearing on the Commission’s Policy for Recovery of Income Tax Costs, made adjustments to the FERC’s March 2018 revised policy statement for master limited partnerships, which no longer allows interstate natural gas and oil pipelines owned by master limited partnerships to recover an income tax allowance in cost of service rates. The final rule clarified that a master limited partnership with a C-corporation parent is eligible for an income tax allowance. We do not expect this FERC action to be material to our results of operations, as we are organized as a C-corporation. Further, regardless of organizational structure, we do not expect this FERC action to materially affect us, as the rates charged to our customers have generally been established through shipper specific negotiation, discounts and negotiated settlements, which do not ascribe any specific cost of service elements.
The FERC allows regulated NGL pipelines an annual index adjustment to tariff rates, which is intended to allow recovery of changes in costs without a complicated cost of service filing. The FERC is expected to evaluate how best to incorporate the effects of new tax policies in its next calculation of the rate index in 2020 for indexing effective July 2021. We do not expect to be materially impacted by any such change in the index calculation, as our regulated NGL pipeline revenues are primarily under negotiated agreements.
Legal Proceedings - Gas Index Pricing Litigation - As was previously reported, in March 2017, the United States District Court for the District of Nevada (the District Court) granted summary judgment in March 2017 to our affiliate ONEOK Energy Services Company, L.P. (OESC) in Sinclair Oil Corporation v. ONEOK Energy Services Company, L.P. (filed in the United States District Court for the District of Wyoming in September 2005, transferred to MDL-1566 in the Court) after determining that the plaintiff’s claim was barred by a release obtained in a prior lawsuit against us and OESC.. In September 2017, the District Court entered a final judgment in favor of OESC in Sinclair. Later that month,, which was appealed by Sinclair Oil Corporation filed a notice of appeal of this decision to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. On August 1, 2018, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals reversed the District Court’s granting of summary judgment and remanded the case back to the District Court. We expect that future charges, if any, from the ultimate resolution of the Sinclair case will not be material to our results of operations, financial position or cash flows.
As was previously reported, the Court gave final approval in May 2017 to the previously announced settlements of Learjet, Inc., et al. v. ONEOK, Inc., et al. (filed in the District Court of Wyandotte, Kansas, in November 2005, transferred to MDL-1566 in the Court); Arandell Corporation, et al. v. Xcel Energy, Inc., et al. (filed in the Circuit Court for Dane County, Wisconsin, in December 2006, transferred to MDL-1566 in the Court); Heartland Regional Medical Center, et al. v. ONEOK, Inc., et al. (filed in the Circuit Court of Buchanan County, Missouri, in March 2007, transferred to MDL-1566 in the Court); and NewPage Wisconsin System v. CMS Energy Resource Management Company, et al. (filed in the Circuit Court for Wood County, Wisconsin, in March 2009, transferred to MDL-1566 in the Court and now consolidated with the Arandell case). Thereafter, the Court entered a final judgment dismissing these actions with prejudice as to us and our affiliates, which became final and nonappealable in July 2017. The amount paid to settle these cases was not material to our results of operations, financial position or cash flows and was paid with cash on hand.
ONEOK Partners Class Action Litigation - As was previously reported, ONEOK Partners settled two putative class action lawsuits captioned Juergen Krueger, Individually And On Behalf Of All Others Similarly Situated v. ONEOK Partners, L.P., et al. (filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Oklahoma) and Max Federman, On Behalf of Himself and All Others Similarly Situated v. ONEOK Partners, L.P., et al. (filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Oklahoma) by agreeing to make certain disclosures in a filing with the SEC about the Merger Transaction in addition to those made in the final proxy statement filed with the SEC. The Krueger and Federman actions were dismissed on June 14, 2017, as moot, with prejudice as to the named plaintiffs and without prejudice as to any other members of a putative class. In July 2017, ONEOK Partners entered into a settlement concerning attorney’s fees and expenses for plaintiffs’ counsel that was not material to our results of operations, financial position or cash flows and was paid with cash on hand.
Other Legal Proceedings - We are a party to various other litigation matters and claims that have arisen in the normal course of our operations. While the results of these litigation matters and claims cannot be predicted with certainty, we believe the reasonably possible losses from such matters, individually and in the aggregate, are not material. Additionally, we believe the probable final outcome of such matters will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows.
Adoption of ASC Topic 606: Revenue from Contracts with Customers -We adopted Topic 606 on January 1, 2018, using the modified retrospective method applied to contracts that were active as of January 1, 2018. Results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2018, are presented under Topic 606, while prior periods are not adjusted and continue to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for those periods. We recorded a net increase to the beginning balance of retained earnings of approximately $1.7 million as of January 1, 2018, due to the cumulative impact of adopting the standard, primarily related to the timing of revenue on transportation contracts with tiered rates that resulted in contract assets in our Natural Gas Pipelines segment, contributions in aid of construction from customers that resulted in contract liabilities and an adjustment to NGL inventory related to contractual fees in our Natural Gas Liquids Segment, as described below.
Based on the new guidance, we determined that certain Natural Gas Gathering and Processing segment POP with fee contracts and Natural Gas Liquids segment exchange services contracts that include the purchase of commodities are supplier contracts. Therefore, contractual fees in these identified contracts are now recorded as a reduction of the commodity purchase price in cost of sales and fuel pursuant to ASC 705 rather than as services revenue. To the extent we hold inventory related to these purchases, the related fees previously recorded in services revenue will not be recognized until the inventory is sold. We continue to be principal on the downstream sales of those commodities, which is unchanged from our assessment under previous guidance.

Revenue Recognition -Revenues are recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to our customers in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to be entitled to receive in exchange for those goods or services. Our payment terms vary by customer and contract type, including requiring payment before products or services are delivered to certain customers. However, the term between customer prepayments, completion of our performance obligations, invoicing and receipt of payment due is not significant.
Practical Expedients - We do not disclose the value of unsatisfied performance obligations for (i) contracts with an original expected length of one year or less and (ii) variable consideration on contracts for which we recognize revenue at the amount to which we have the right to invoice for services performed.
Receivables from Customers, Performance Obligations and Revenue Sources - The balances in accounts receivable on our Consolidated Balance Sheet at September 30, 2018, and December 31, 2017, include customer receivables of $1.1 billion and $1.2 billion, respectively. Revenues sources are disaggregated in Note L and are derived from commodity sales and services revenues, as described below:
Commodity Sales(all segments) - We contract to deliver residue natural gas, condensate, unfractionated NGLs and/or NGL products to customers at a specified delivery point. Our sales agreements may be daily or longer-term contracts for a specified volume. We consider the sale and delivery of each unit of a commodity an individual performance obligation as the customer is expected to control, accept and benefit from each unit individually. We record revenue when the commodity is delivered tothe customer as this represents the point in time when control of the product is transferred to the customer. Revenue is recorded based on the contracted selling price, which is generally index-based and settled monthly.
Services
Gathering only contracts (Natural Gas Gathering and Processing segment) - Under this type of contract, we charge fees for providing midstream services, which include gathering our customer’s natural gas. Our performance obligation begins with delivery of raw natural gas to our system. This service is treated as one performance obligation that is satisfied over time. We
use the output method based on delivery of product to our system as the measure of progress, as our services are performed simultaneously.
POP contracts with producer take-in-kind rights (Natural Gas Gathering and Processing segment) - Under this type of contract, we do not control the stream of unprocessed gas that we receive at the wellhead due to the producer’s take-in-kind rights. We charge fees for providing midstream services, which include gathering and processing our customer’s natural gas. After performing these services, we return a portion of the natural gas to the producer and purchase the remaining commodities. Our performance obligation begins with delivery of raw natural gas to our system. This service is treated as one performance obligation that is satisfied over time. We use the output method based on delivery of product to our system as the measure of progress, as our services are performed simultaneously.
Transportation and exchange contracts (Natural Gas Liquids segment) - Under this type of contract, we charge fees for providing midstream services, which may include a bundled combination of gathering, transporting and/or fractionation of our customer’s NGLs. Our performance obligation begins with delivery of unfractionated NGLs or NGL products to our system. These services represent a series of distinct services that are treated as one performance obligation that is satisfied over time. We use the output method based on delivery of product to our system as the measure of progress, as our services are performed simultaneously. For transportation services under a tariff on our NGL transportation pipelines, fees are recorded upon redelivery to our customer at the completion of the transportation services.
Storage contracts (Natural Gas Liquids and Natural Gas Pipelines segments) - We reserve a stated storage capacity and inject/withdraw/store commodities for our customer. The capacity reservation and injection/withdrawal/storage services are considered a bundled service, as we integrate them into one stand-ready obligation provided on a daily basis over the life of the agreement and satisfied over time. Fixed capacity reservation fees are allocated and evenly recognized in revenue. Capacity reservation fees that vary based on a stated or implied economic index and correspond with the costs to provide our services are recognized in revenue based on daily effective fee rate. Transportation, injection and withdrawal fees are recognized in revenue as those services are provided and are dependent on the volume transported, injected or withdrawn by our customer, which is at our customer’s discretion. We use the output method based on the passage of time to measure satisfaction of the performance obligation associated with our daily stand-ready services.
Firm service transportation contracts (Natural Gas Pipelines segment) - We reserve a stated transportation capacity and transport commodities for our customer. The capacity reservation and transportation services are considered a bundled service, as we integrate them into one stand-ready obligation provided on a daily basis over the life of the agreement and satisfied over time. Fixed capacity reservation fees are allocated and evenly recognized in revenue. Capacity reservation fees that vary based on a stated or implied economic index and correspond with the costs to provide our services are recognized in revenue based on a daily effective fee rate. If the capacity reservation fees vary solely as a contract feature, contract assets or liabilities are recorded for the difference between the amount recorded in revenue and the amount billed to the customer. Transportation fees are recognized in revenue as those services are provided and are dependent on the volume transported by our customer, which is at our customer’s discretion. We use the output method based on the passage of time to measure satisfaction of the performance obligation associated with our daily stand-ready services.
Interruptible transportation contracts (Natural Gas Pipelines segment) - We agree to transport natural gas on our pipelines between the customer’s specified nomination and delivery points if capacity is available after satisfying firm transportation service obligations. Our performance obligations and those of our customer begin with delivery of natural gas onto our pipeline and is satisfied over time. The transaction price is based on the transportation fees times the volumes transported. These fees may change over time based on an index or other factors provided in the agreement. We use the output method based on delivery of product to the customer to measure satisfaction of the performance obligation. The total consideration for delivered volumes is recorded in revenue at the time of delivery, when the customer obtains control.
Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities - Contract assets and contract liabilities are recorded when the amount of revenue recognized from a contract with a customer differs from the amount billed to the customer and recorded in accounts receivable. Our contract asset balances at the beginning and end of the period primarily relate to our firm service transportation contracts with tiered rates. Our contract liabilities primarily represent deferred revenue on NGL storage contracts for which revenue is recognized over a one-year term and deferred revenue on contributions in aid of construction received from customers for which revenue is recognized over the contract period, which averages approximately 10 years. The following tables set forth the changes in our contract asset and contract liability balances during the nine months ended September 30, 2018.

Transaction Price Allocated to Unsatisfied Performance Obligations - The following table presents aggregate value allocated to unsatisfied performance obligations as of September 30, 2018, and the amounts we expect to recognize in revenue in future periods, related primarily to firm transportation and storage contracts with remaining contract terms ranging from one month to 26 years:
|
| | | | |
Expected Period of Recognition in Revenue | | (Millions of dollars) |
Remainder of 2018 | | $ | 90.5 |
|
2019 | | 296.2 |
|
2020 | | 245.1 |
|
2021 | | 237.4 |
|
2022 and beyond | | 1,090.9 |
|
Total estimated transaction price allocated to unsatisfied performance obligations | | $ | 1,960.1 |
|
The table above excludes variable consideration allocated entirely to wholly unsatisfied performance obligations, wholly unsatisfied promises to transfer distinct goods or services that are part of a single performance obligation and consideration we determine to be fully constrained. Information on the nature of the variable consideration excluded and the nature of the performance obligations to which the variable consideration relates can be found in the description of the major contract types discussed above. The amounts we determined to be fully constrained relate to future sales obligations under long-term sales contracts where the transaction price is not known and minimum volume agreements, which we consider to be fully constrained until invoiced.
Segment Descriptions - Our operations are divided into three reportable business segments, as follows:
our Natural Gas Gathering and Processing segment gathers, treats and processes natural gas;
our Natural Gas Liquids segment gathers, treats, fractionates and transports NGLs and stores, markets and distributes NGL products; and
our Natural Gas Pipelines segment operates regulated interstate and intrastate natural gas transmission pipelines and natural gas storage facilities.
Other and eliminations consist of corporate and Merger Transaction-related costs, the operating and leasing activities of our headquarters building and related parking facility and eliminations necessary to reconcile our reportable segments to our Consolidated Financial Statements.
Accounting Policies - The accounting policies of the segments are described in Note A of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our Annual Report. Our chief operating decision-maker reviews the financial performanceReport, updated as described in Note A of each of our three segments, as well as our financial performance as a whole, on a regular basis. Adjusted EBITDA by segment is utilized in this evaluation. We believe this financial measure is useful to investors because it and similar measures are used by many companies in our industry as a measurement of financial performance and are commonly employed by financial analysts and others to evaluate our financial performance and to compare financial performance among companies in our industry. AdjustedQuarterly Report.
EBITDA for each segment is defined as net income adjusted for interest expense, depreciation and amortization, noncash impairment charges, income taxes, allowance for equity funds used during construction, noncash compensation and other noncash items. This calculation may not be comparable with similarly titled measures of other companies.
Customers - The primary customers of our Natural Gas Gathering and Processing segment are crude oil and natural gas producers, which include both large integrated and independent exploration and production companies. Our Natural Gas Liquids segment’s customers are primarily NGL and natural gas gathering and processing companies; large integrated and independent crude oil and natural gas production companies; propane distributors; ethanol producers; and petrochemical, refining and NGL marketing companies. Our Natural Gas Pipelines segment’s customers are primarily local natural gas distribution companies, electric-generation companies, large industrial companies, municipalities, irrigation customers and marketing companies.
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, we had no single customer from which we received 10 percent or more of our consolidated revenues.

M. | SUPPLEMENTAL CONDENSED CONSOLIDATING FINANCIAL INFORMATION |
ONEOK and ONEOK Partners are issuers of certain public debt securities. Effective with the Merger Transaction in 2017, we, ONEOK Partners and the Intermediate Partnership issued, to the extent not already in place, guarantees of the indebtedness of ONEOK and ONEOK Partners. The Intermediate Partnership holds all of ONEOK Partners’ partnership interests and equity in its subsidiaries, as well as a 50 percent interest in Northern Border Pipeline. In lieu of providing separate financial statements for each subsidiary issuer and guarantor, we have included the accompanying condensed consolidating financial statements based on Rule 3-10 of the SEC’s Regulation S-X. We have presented each of the parent and subsidiary issuers in separate columns in this single set of condensed consolidating financial statements.
For purposes of the following footnote:
we are referred to as “Parent Issuer and Guarantor”;
ONEOK Partners is referred to as “Subsidiary Issuer and Guarantor”;
the Intermediate Partnership is referred to as “Guarantor Subsidiary”; and
the “Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries” are all subsidiaries other than the Guarantor Subsidiary and Subsidiary Issuer and Guarantor.
The following unaudited supplemental condensed consolidating financial information is presented on an equity-method basis reflecting the separate accounts of ONEOK, ONEOK Partners and the Intermediate Partnership, the combined accounts of the Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries, the combined consolidating adjustments and eliminations, and our consolidated amounts for the periods indicated.

ITEM 2. | MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS |
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements and the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in this Quarterly Report, as well as our Annual Report and our Current Report on Form 8-K filed on July 6, 2017, which updates Item 8 in our Annual Report.
RECENT DEVELOPMENTS
Please refer to the “Financial Results and Operating Information” and “Liquidity and Capital Resources” sections of Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in this Quarterly Report for additional information.
Merger Transaction - On June 30, 2017, we completed the acquisition of all of the outstanding common units of ONEOK Partners at a fixed exchange ratio of 0.985 of a share of our common stock for each ONEOK Partners common unit that we did not already own. We issued 168.9 million shares ofPrior to June 30, 2017, we and our common stock to third-party common unitholders of ONEOK Partners in exchange forsubsidiaries owned all of the 171.5 million outstanding common unitsgeneral partner interest, which included incentive distribution rights, and a portion of the limited partner interest, which together represented a 41.2 percent ownership interest in ONEOK Partners. The earnings of ONEOK Partners that we previously did not own. As a result ofare attributed to its units held by the completion ofpublic during the Merger Transaction, common units of ONEOK Partnerssix months ended June 30, 2017, are no longer publicly traded. The change in our ownership interest resulting from the Merger Transaction was accounted forreported as an equity transaction, and no gain or loss was recognized“Net income attributable to noncontrolling interest” in our Consolidated Statement of Income. Our general partner incentive distribution rights effectively terminated at the closing of the Merger Transaction.
Business Update and Market Conditions - We operate predominantlyprimarily fee-based businesses in each of our three reportable segments, and we expect our consolidated earnings to be approximatelynearly 90 percent fee-based forin 2018. We are connected to supply in growing basins and have significant basin diversification, including the remainder of 2017. InWilliston, Permian, Powder River and DJ Basins and the first nine months of 2017, our Natural Gas GatheringSTACK and Processing segment’s fee revenues averaged 86 cents per MMBtu, compared with an average of 73 cents per MMBtu in the same period in 2016, due to our contract restructuring efforts to mitigate commodity price risk and increasing volumes on those contracts with higher contracted fees.SCOOP areas. Volumes gathered and processed increased across our asset footprint in our Natural Gas Gathering and Processing segment forand Natural Gas Liquids segments in the first nine months ended September 30, 2017,of 2018, compared with the same period in 2016.2017, with improved crude oil prices and as producers experienced improved drilling economics and continued improvements in production due to enhanced completion techniques. In addition, we have experienced increased demand for NGLs from petrochemical and NGL export facilities in the Gulf Coast. We are responding to the increasing supply and demand with approximately $6 billion of capital-growth projects, including natural gas processing plants, NGL pipelines and NGL fractionators supported by a combination of long-term primarily fee-based contracts, volume commitments and/or acreage dedications. Our NGL projects in the Gulf Coast also include flexibility to construct additional NGL fractionators, storage and export facilities in the future.
In recent quarters, we have experienced wider NGL price differentials as available pipeline and fractionation capacity in and between the Conway, Kansas, and Mont Belvieu, Texas, market centers tightened due to growing NGL supply from the Mid-Continent and Rocky Mountain regions, combined with increased petrochemical and NGL export demands, resulting in higher earnings from our Natural Gas Liquids segment’s optimization and marketing activities. We expect NGL price differentials to fluctuate and remain relatively wide until announced NGL pipeline and fractionation infrastructure projects are completed.
Rocky Mountain Region - We expect each of our business segments to benefit from increased production in this region, which includes the Williston, Powder River and DJ Basins. In our Natural Gas Gathering and Processing segment, our completed capital-growth projects have increased our gathering and processing capacity to approximately 1.0 Bcf/d in the Williston Basin and allow us to capture additional natural gas from the approximately 1 million acres dedicated to us in the core of this basin and approximately 3 million acres throughout the entire basin. With continued volume growth expected due to improved drilling economics and producer efficiencies, we recently announced plans to construct both the Demicks Lake I and the Demicks Lake II natural gas processing plants. These projects will provide an additional 400 MMcf/d of processing capacity in the core of the Williston Basin, which is expected to provide services necessary to help producers meet natural gas capture targets, while adding incremental NGLs to our NGL gathering system and supplying natural gas to our 50 percent-owned Northern Border Pipeline. The Demicks Lake I plant is expected to reach capacity soon after its completion in the fourth quarter 2019. In addition, we expanded our existing Bear Creek natural gas processing plant in the Williston Basin to 130 MMcf/d from 80 MMcf/d. In our Natural Gas Liquids segment, the volume growth in this region has resulted in the Overland Pass Pipeline, of which we own 50 percent, and our Bakken NGL pipeline operating at full capacities. We also are constructing the Elk Creek pipeline to support expected supply growth and provide needed infrastructure to transport NGLs out of the region to the Mid-Continent with connectivity to the Gulf Coast. We expect the southern section of the Elk Creek pipeline to be in service as early as the third quarter 2019, which would allow NGL production from the Powder River Basin to flow on this section of pipeline before the entire project is complete.
STACK and SCOOP - As producers continue to develop the STACK and SCOOP areas, we expect increased demand for our services from producers that need incremental takeaway capacity for natural gas and NGLs out of the Mid-Continent region. We anticipate NGL supply growth will continue to support increased demand as petrochemical companies complete expansion
projects and exports increase. In our Natural Gas Gathering and Processing segment, we have more than 300,000 acres dedicated to us in the STACK and SCOOP areas and responded to producers’ needs by constructing the 200 MMcf/d expansion of our Canadian Valley natural gas processing plant, which increased our processing capacity to 1.1 Bcf/d in Oklahoma. In our Natural Gas Liquids segment, we are the largest NGL takeaway provider in the STACK and SCOOP areas. We are expanding our NGL gathering system in the Mid-Continent region, expanding our existing Sterling III pipeline and constructing the Arbuckle II pipeline. The Arbuckle II pipeline will transport NGLs originating across our supply basins to Mont Belvieu, Texas. We recently announced plans to construct an extension of the Arbuckle II pipeline further north along with additional NGL gathering infrastructure, as well as an expansion of the Arbuckle II pipeline by 100 MBbl/d up to a total capacity of 500 MBbl/d. In our Natural Gas Pipelines segment, we are connected six third-partyto more than 30 natural gas processing plants in Oklahoma, which have a total processing capacity of approximately 1.8 Bcf/d. In the first quarter 2018, we completed the 100 MMcf/d expansion of our ONEOK Gas Transportation pipeline to provide increased westbound transportation services from the STACK area. In June 2018, we announced two additional expansion projects to our ONEOK Gas Transportation pipeline. The projects include an eastbound expansion of 150 MMcf/d from the STACK and SCOOP areas to an interstate pipeline delivery point in eastern Oklahoma and an additional westbound expansion of 100 MMcf/d from the STACK area to multiple interstate pipeline delivery points in western Oklahoma. These projects are expected to be completed by the end of the first quarter 2019.
Permian Basin - We expect our Natural Gas Liquids and Natural Gas Pipelines business segments to benefit from increased production in the Permian Basin from the highly productive Delaware and Midland Basins. In our Natural Gas Liquids segment, we are well-positioned in the first nine monthsPermian Basin through the West Texas LPG pipeline system, which was recently extended into the core of 2017,the Delaware Basin through construction of an approximately 120-mile pipeline lateral and related infrastructure. In September 2018, we announced a second expansion of the West Texas LPG pipeline system, which contributed to higher gathered NGL volumes inwill increase the third quarter 2017, comparedmainline capacity by 80 MBbl/d as well as connect the West Texas LPG pipeline with the first two quarters of 2017 andArbuckle II pipeline, which is currently under construction. These projects are expected to position the full year 2016. We expect additionalWest Texas LPG pipeline system for significant future NGL volume growth as these plants increase production. Our fee-based transportation services ingrowth. In our Natural Gas Pipelines segment, increasedour Roadrunner joint venture and our WesTex pipeline are well-positioned to serve growth in the Permian Basin. The Roadrunner pipeline connects with our existing natural gas pipeline and storage infrastructure in Texas and, together with our completed WesTex intrastate natural gas pipeline expansion project, creates future opportunities for us to deliver natural gas supply to Mexico and transport natural gas to other markets in the region. In June 2018, we announced the expansion of our WesTex Transmission system by 300 MMcf/d from the Permian Basin to interstate pipeline delivery points in the Texas Panhandle. We also announced an expansion project to make Roadrunner bidirectional, which will result in approximately 1 Bcf/d of eastbound transportation capacity from the Delaware Basin to the Waha area. Both projects are expected to be completed in the first nine monthsquarter 2019.
Gulf Coast - Demand for NGLs is strong and expected to increase at the Mont Belvieu, Texas, NGL market center as new world-scale ethylene production projects, petrochemical plant expansions and NGL export facilities continue to be completed. NGL supply growth and new NGL pipelines recently completed or being constructed, including our Elk Creek pipeline, Arbuckle II pipeline and West Texas LPG pipeline projects, are increasing NGL deliveries to Mont Belvieu, Texas. While we have significant NGL fractionation and storage assets in this area, additional capacity is needed to accommodate expected volume growth. To respond to this need, we announced plans to construct two additional 125 MBbl/d fractionators with related infrastructure in Mont Belvieu, Texas, MB-4 and MB-5, which are both fully contracted. Following the completion of 2017,MB-4 and MB-5, we expect our Gulf Coast NGL fractionation capacity to be approximately 600 MBbl/d and more than 1 million Bbl/d across our entire system. Our MB-5 project also includes system expansions that provide infrastructure capacity to support additional assets as we continue to evaluate opportunities for fractionation, storage and export facilities to meet the supply and demand for NGLs.
Ethane Opportunity - NGL demand, particularly for ethane, has increased as exports have increased and petrochemical companies complete ethylene production projects and plant expansions. Ethane volumes gathered across our system increased approximately 100 MBbl/d to 400 MBbl/d in the third quarter 2018, compared with 300 MBbl/d in the same period in 2016, due primarilythe prior year. Our NGL capital-growth projects are expected to higher firm transportation capacity contracted fromhelp alleviate system constraints between the WesTex pipeline expansion.Conway, Kansas, and Mont Belvieu, Texas, market centers. Until our projects are completed, we expect the amount of ethane on our system to continue to fluctuate as NGL supply continues to increase, processing plants are constructed or modified to increase ethane recoveries, petrochemical companies complete expansion projects and exports increase.
We continueAcquisition of Noncontrolling Interest - In July 2018, we acquired the remaining 20 percent interest in WTLPG that we did not already own for $195 million with cash on hand. As the sole owner of the West Texas LPG pipeline system, we expect to expectmore effectively integrate it into our extensive NGL system, positioning us for future expansion opportunities in the Permian Basin.
Growth Projects - Increased producer activity and supply growth across our assets have increased demand for midstream infrastructure. We are responding to this growing demand by constructing assets to meet the needs of natural gas processors and producers across our midstream servicesasset footprint, including the Williston, Permian, Powder River and infrastructure development to be primarily driven by producers who need to connect production with end-use markets where current infrastructure is insufficient.DJ Basins and the STACK and SCOOP areas. We also expect additional demand for our services to support increased demand for NGL products from the petrochemical industry and NGL exporters, and increased demand for natural gas from exports and power plants, some of which were previously fueled by coal.
We are connected to supply in growing basins and have significant basin diversification across our asset footprint, including the Williston, Permian and Powder River Basins and the STACK and SCOOP areas of the Anadarko Basin in Oklahoma. In addition, we are connected to major market centers for natural gas and NGL products. While our Natural Gas Gathering and Processing and Natural Gas Liquids segments generate predominantly fee-based earnings, those segments’ results of operations are exposed to volumetric risk. Our exposure to volumetric risk can result from reduced drilling activity, severe weather disruptions, operational outages and ethane rejection.
STACK and SCOOP -We expect each of our business segments to benefit from increased production in the Mid-Continent region from the highly productive STACK and SCOOP areas where there was an increase in producer activity in late 2016 and the first nine months of 2017, which we expect to continue into 2018. In Since June and July 2017, we have announced approximately $6 billion of additional growthcapital-growth projects supported by a combination of long-term primarily fee-based contracts, minimum volume commitments and acreage dedications to serve the expected growth and needs of our natural gas processors and producer customers.producers. We announced plansexpect these growth projects to expandprovide long-term fee-based earnings and incremental cash flows. We have contracted a substantial amount of the steel required for our Canadian Valley natural gas processing facility to 400 MMcf/dpipeline projects from 200 MMcf/d and related gathering infrastructurevendors located predominately in the STACK area of Oklahoma, which is expected to cost approximately $155 million to $165 million and be completed by the end of 2018. We also announced plans to connect our natural gas gathering systems in the STACK area of Oklahoma to an existing third-party processing facility, accessing 200 MMcf/d of processing capacity by constructing a 30-mile natural gas gathering pipeline and related infrastructure. This project is expected to cost approximately $40 million and be completed by the end of 2017. Following the completion of these projects, our total natural gas processing capacity in Oklahoma will be approximately 1.1 Bcf/d. These projects are expected to contribute incremental volumeUnited States. In addition to our natural gas liquids gathering system. To accommodate increased NGL volumeslarge growth projects discussed below, in the area,June 2018, we announced plans to expand our natural gas liquids gathering systempipeline infrastructure in the Permian Basin and Oklahoma to provide additional natural gas takeaway capacity in these regions. Our announced large capital-growth projects are outlined in the tables below:

(a) - Excludes capitalized interest/AFUDC.
(b) - Reflects total project cost. In July 2018, we acquired the remaining 20 percent interest in WTLPG.
(c) - We expect the southern section of the pipeline to be in service as early as the third quarter 2019.
Debt Issuances - In July 2018, we completed an underwritten public offering of $1.25 billion senior unsecured notes consisting of $800 million, 4.55 percent senior notes due 2028 and $450 million, 5.2 percent senior notes due 2048. The net proceeds, after deducting underwriting discounts, commissions and offering expenses, were $1.23 billion. The proceeds were used for general corporate purposes, which included repayment of existing indebtedness and funding capital expenditures.
Equity Issuances - In January 2018, we completed an underwritten public offering of 21.9 million shares of our common stock at a public offering price of $54.50 per share, generating net proceeds of $1.2 billion. We used the net proceeds from this offering to fund capital expenditures and for general corporate purposes, which included repaying a portion of our outstanding indebtedness. We have satisfied our expected equity financing needs for our announced capital-growth projects through the remainder of 2018. We expect to benefit from increasing cash flows from operations in 2019 and expect any additional equity financing to be considered in the latter part of 2019. This consideration will be based on the timing and amount of capital expenditures. If necessary, we expect any additional equity financing to be limited to issuances under our existing “at-the-market” equity program.
the Mid-Continent region and our existing Sterling III Pipeline, which are backed by a long-term contract. We expect to invest approximately $130 million for these NGL projects, which are expected to be completed by the end of 2018.
As producers continue to develop the STACK and SCOOP areas, we expect natural gas and NGL volumes on our systems to increase in the remainder of 2017 and into 2018, compared with volumes for the same period in 2016, and expect increased demand for our services from producers that need incremental takeaway capacity for natural gas and NGLs out of the region. We anticipate NGL volume growth in the Mid-Continent region will also be driven by expected increases in ethane recovery as new world-scale ethylene production projects, petrochemical plant modifications and expansions and export facilities are completed and continue coming on line.
In our Natural Gas Gathering and Processing segment, we have more than 300,000 acres dedicated to us in the STACK and SCOOP areas. In our Natural Gas Liquids segment, we are the largest NGL takeaway provider in the STACK and SCOOP areas. We are connected to more than 110 third-party natural gas processing plants in the Mid-Continent region and have connected three additional third-party natural gas processing plants in 2017. In our Natural Gas Pipelines segment, we are connected to more than 30 natural gas processing plants in Oklahoma, which have a total processing capacity of approximately 1.8 Bcf/d, and are expanding our ONEOK Gas Transmission Pipeline by 100 MMcf/d to provide increased westbound transportation services from the STACK and SCOOP areas.
Rocky Mountain Region -We expect each of our business segments to benefit from increased production in the Williston Basin, where there was an increase in producer activity in late 2016 and through the first nine months of 2017, which we expect to continue into 2018. In our Natural Gas Gathering and Processing segment, our completed growth projects, including our Bear Creek natural gas processing plant and infrastructure project that was completed in August 2016, have increased our gathering and processing capacity and allow us to capture natural gas from wells that previously flared natural gas production. We have available natural gas processing capacity in this basin of approximately 150 MMcf/d. In our Natural Gas Liquids segment, we are the largest NGL takeaway provider in the Williston Basin with connections to more than 10 natural gas processing plants, both third-party and our own. We connected one new third-party natural gas processing plant in the Rocky Mountain region in the first quarter 2017. In our Natural Gas Pipelines segment, our 50 percent-owned Northern Border Pipeline is well positioned to transport natural gas from processing plants in the Williston Basin to end-use markets and is substantially contracted through the first quarter 2020.
Permian Basin -We expect our Natural Gas Liquids and Natural Gas Pipelines business segments to benefit from increased production in the Permian Basin from the highly productive Delaware and Midland Basins, where there was an increase in producer drilling activity in late 2016 and the first nine months of 2017, which we expect to continue into 2018.
In our Natural Gas Liquids segment, we are well-positioned in the Permian Basin and are connected to nearly 40 third-party natural gas processing plants through our WTLPG joint venture, where we connected one third-party natural gas processing plant in the third quarter 2017 and one in the first quarter 2017. In October 2017, we announced that our WTLPG joint venture, in which we own an 80 percent interest, plans to extend its pipeline system into the core of the Delaware Basin, which includes construction of a 120-mile pipeline lateral and related infrastructure to support an initial capacity of 110 MBbl/d. The project is supported by long-term dedicated NGL production from two planned third-party natural gas processing plants and positions the West Texas LPG pipeline for significant future NGL volume growth. The project is expected to cost approximately $200 million and be completed by the third quarter of 2018. In our Natural Gas Pipelines segment, we believe we are well-positioned in the Delaware Basin and have a significant position in the Midland Basin. We are connected to more than 25 natural gas processing plants serving the Permian Basin, which have a total processing capacity of approximately 1.9 Bcf/d. The Roadrunner pipeline transports natural gas from the Permian Basin in West Texas to the Mexican border near El Paso, Texas, and is fully subscribed with 25-year firm demand charge, fee-based agreements. The Roadrunner pipeline connects with our existing natural gas pipeline and storage infrastructure in Texas and, together with our WesTex intrastate natural gas pipeline expansion project, creates a platform for future opportunities to deliver natural gas supply to Mexico.
Ethane Opportunity -Ethane rejection levels across our system averaged more than 150 MBbl/d in the first nine months of 2017, which is slightly lower than the same period in 2016. We expect ethane recovery levels to continue to fluctuate as the price differential between ethane and natural gas changes. We expect ethane recovery levels to increase initially in regions closest to market centers such as the Permian Basin and Mid-Continent region, as ethylene producers complete their expansion projects and NGL exporters increase their export volumes. We expect future increases in ethane recovery to have a favorable impact on NGL volumes and our financial results.
Equity Issuances - In July 2017, we established an “at-the-market” equity program for the offer and sale from time to time of our common stock up to an aggregate amount of $1 billion. The program allows us to offer and sell our common stock at prices we deem appropriate through a sales agent. Sales of our common stock may be made by means of ordinary brokers’
transactions on the NYSE, in block transactions, or as otherwise agreed to between us and the sales agent. We are under no obligation to offer and sell common stock under the program. In September and October 2017, we sold 3.3 million shares of common stock through our “at-the-market” equity program that resulted in net proceeds of $184.2 million.
Dividends - In October 2017,February 2018, May 2018 and August 2018, we declared a dividendpaid quarterly dividends of $0.745$0.77 per share ($2.983.08 per share on an annualized basis) for, $0.795 per share ($3.18 per share on an annualized basis) and $0.825 per share ($3.30 per share on an annualized basis), respectively. We declared a quarterly dividend of $0.855 per share ($3.42 per share on an annualized basis) in October 2018. The quarterly dividend will be paid November 14, 2018, to shareholders of record at the close of business on November 6, 2017, payable November 14, 2017, which represents an increase5, 2018. We expect 75 to 85 percent of 21 percent compared with the same period in the prior year.our 2018 dividend payments to investors to be a return of capital. Our dividend growth is due in part to the increase in cash flows resulting from the Merger Transaction.continued growth of our operations.
Hurricane HarveyFERC Action - During AugustThe Tax Cuts and September 2017, Hurricane Harvey caused disruptionsJobs Act made extensive changes to the U.S. tax laws and includes provisions that reduce the U.S. corporate tax rate to 21 percent from 35 percent, increase expensing for capital investment, and limit the interest deduction and use of net operating losses to offset future taxable income. The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act may reduce future tariff rates charged on our regulated pipelines. The rates charged to our Natural Gas Liquids segment exchange services businesscustomers have generally been established through shipper specific negotiation, discounts and negotiated settlements, which do not ascribe any specific cost of service elements. We expect future tariff rate changes, if any, related to the change in the Mid-ContinentU.S. corporate tax rate to be established prospectively over time on a similar negotiated basis. In July 2018, the FERC issued a final rule on the impact of the Tax Cuts and Gulf Coast regions. While our assets did not experienceJobs Act on FERC-regulated rates for natural gas pipelines, which indicated that a reduction in rates, if any, significant damage, some of our assetsrelated to the decrease in the Gulf Coastcorporate tax rate would be prospective only. We do not expect the impact of this final rule to materially affect us.
The July 2018 final rule,which incorporates the Order on Rehearing on the Commission’s Policy for Recovery of Income Tax Costs, made adjustments to the FERC’s March 2018 revised policy statement for master limited partnerships, which no longer allows interstate natural gas and Mid-Continent areas briefly operated at reduced volumes followingoil pipelines owned by master limited partnerships to recover an income tax allowance in cost of service rates. The final rule clarified that a master limited partnership with a C-corporation parent is eligible for an income tax allowance. We do not expect this FERC action to be material to our results of operations, as we are organized as a C-corporation. Further, regardless of organizational structure, we do not expect this FERC action to materially affect us, as the hurricane duerates charged to our customers have generally been established through shipper specific negotiation, discounts and negotiated settlements, which do not ascribe any specific cost of service elements.
The FERC allows regulated NGL pipelines an annual index adjustment to tariff rates, which is intended to allow recovery of changes in costs without a complicated cost of service filing. The FERC is expected to evaluate how best to incorporate the effects of new tax policies in its next calculation of the rate index in 2020 for indexing effective July 2021. We do not expect to be materially impacted by any such change in the index calculation, as our regulated NGL pipeline revenues are primarily to temporary refinery and petrochemical facility outages and constraints on our customers’ ability to receive NGL products. Without this disruption, we estimate operating income and adjusted EBITDA would have been approximately $4.5 million higher.under negotiated agreements.
Goodwill Impairment Review - We assess our goodwill for impairment at least annually as of July 1. At July 1, 2017,2018, we assessed qualitative factors to determine whether it was more likely than not that the fair value of each of our reporting units was less than its carrying amount. After assessing qualitative factors (including macroeconomic conditions, industry and market considerations, cost factors and overall financial performance), we determined that it was more likely than not that the fair value of each reporting unit was greater than its respective carrying value, that no further testing was necessary and that goodwill was not considered impaired.
Revenue Recognition - We adopted Topic 606 on January 1, 2018, using the modified retrospective method. Results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2018, are presented under Topic 606, while prior periods are not adjusted and continue to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for those periods. The primary impact to our financial results is a classification change between line items in our Consolidated Income Statement, with an immaterial impact on net income. Based on the new guidance, we determined that certain Natural Gas Gathering and Processing segment POP with fee contracts and Natural Gas Liquids segment exchange services contracts that include the purchase of commodities are supplier contracts. Therefore, contractual fees in these identified contracts are now recorded as a reduction of the commodity purchase price in cost of sales and fuel rather than as services revenue. To the extent we hold inventory related to these purchases, the related fees previously recorded in services revenue will not be recognized until the inventory is sold. The change in presentation resulting from the adoption of Topic 606 did not materially impact our reported operating income, net income or adjusted EBITDA.

Due to the nature of our contracts, changesChanges in commodity prices, and sales volumes and the impact of the adoption of Topic 606, as described in Note K of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in this Quarterly Report, affect both commodity salesrevenues and cost of sales and fuel in our Consolidated Statements of Income, and, therefore, the impact is largely offset between the two line items.
Operating income and adjusted EBITDA increased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017,2018, compared with the same periods in 2016,2017, due primarily to higher revenuesoptimization and marketing earnings from wider location price differentials and the sale of purity NGL inventory previously held in our Natural Gas Liquids segment, and higher earnings resulting from volume growth in the Williston Basin and STACK and SCOOP areas in our Natural Gas Gathering and Processing and Natural Gas Liquids segments,segments.

Additional information regarding our financial results and operating information is provided in the following discussion for each of our segments.
Natural Gas Gathering and Processing
Overview - Our Natural Gas Gathering and Processing segment provides midstream services to contracted producers in North Dakota, Montana, Wyoming, Kansas and Oklahoma. Raw natural gas is typically gathered at the wellhead, compressed and transported through pipelines to our processing facilities. In order for the natural gas to be accepted by the downstream market, it must have contaminants, such as water, nitrogen and carbon dioxide, removed and NGLs separated for further processing. Processed natural gas, usually referred to as residue natural gas, is then recompressed and delivered to natural gas pipelines, storage facilities and end users. The NGLs separated NGLsfrom the raw natural gas are sold and delivered through natural gas liquids pipelines to fractionation facilities for further separation.processing.
The Williston Basin, which is located in portions of North Dakota and Montana, including the oil-producing, NGL-rich Bakken Shale and Three Forks formations, is an active drilling region. Our completed growth projects in the Williston Basin, including our Bear Creek natural gas processing plant and infrastructure project that was completed in August 2016, have increased our gathering and processing capacity and allow us to capture natural gas from wells that previously flared natural gas production. The Mid-Continent region is an active drilling region and includes the oil-producing NGL-rich STACK and SCOOP areas in the Anadarko Basin and the Cana-Woodford Shale, Woodford Shale, Springer Shale, Meramec, Granite Wash and Mississippian Lime formations of Oklahoma and Kansas; and the Hugoton and Central Kansas Uplift Basins of Kansas. The Powder River Basin is primarily located in Wyoming, which includes the NGL-rich Niobrara Shale and Frontier, Turner and Sussex formations where we provide gathering and processing services to customers in the southeast portion of Wyoming.
Revenue Recognition - Revenues for this segment are derived primarily from POP withcommodity sales and service contracts. For commodity sales, we contract to deliver residue natural gas, condensate and/or unfractionated NGLs to downstream customers at a specified delivery point. Our sales of NGLs are typically to our affiliate in the Natural Gas Liquids segment. For fee-only contracts, we are paid a fee contracts and fee-only contracts.for the services we provide, based on volumes gathered, processed, treated and/or compressed. Under a POP with fee contract, we charge fees for gathering, treating, compressing and processing the producer’s natural gas. We also generally purchase the producer’s raw natural gas, which we process into residue natural gas and NGLs, then we sell these commodities and associated condensate to downstream customers. We remit sales proceeds to the producer according to the contractual terms and retain our portion. Additionally, under certainUpon adoption of Topic 606 in January 2018, the contractual fees we charge producers on the majority of our POP with fee contracts ourare now recorded as a reduction to the commodity purchase price in cost of sales and fuel. In 2017 and prior periods, we recorded these fees andas services revenue. The contractual fees on POP percentage may increase or decrease if production volumes, delivery pressures or commodity prices change relativewith fee contracts that include producer take-in-kind rights will continue to specified thresholds. With a fee-only contract,be recorded as services revenue, as we do not control the raw natural gas stream while we are paid a fee for the services we provide, based on volumes gathered, processed, treated and/or compressed.providing midstream services.
We have restructured many of our contracts to significantly increase our fees, and as a result of these restructured contracts, ourOur Natural Gas Gathering and Processing segment’s earnings are primarily fee-based. Ourfee-based, but we have some direct commodity price sensitivity in this segment has decreased as a result of these restructuredexposure related primarily to POP contracts. To mitigate the impact of our remainingthis commodity price exposure, we have hedged a significant portion of our Natural Gas Gathering and Processing segment’s commodity price risk
for the remainder of 20172018 and 2018.for 2019. This segment has substantial long-term acreage dedications in some of the most productive areas of the Williston Basin and Mid-Continent region, specifically the STACK and SCOOP areas, which helps to mitigate volumetric risk.
Our natural gas gathered and processed volumes in the Williston Basin increased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, compared with the same periods in 2016, due primarily to new supply and completion of growth projects, offset partially by the impact of severe winter weather in the first quarter 2017 and natural production declines from existing wells. Williston Basin volumes are expected to continue to grow in the remainder of 2017 and in 2018 due to the following:
producers focusing their drilling and completion in the most productive areas in which we have substantial acreage dedications and significant gathering and processing assets;
continued improvements in production by producers due to enhanced completion techniques and more efficient drilling rigs; offset partially by
natural production declines.
In the Mid-Continent region, we have significant natural gas gathering and processing assets in Oklahoma and Kansas. We have seen increased producer activity in the STACK and SCOOP areas, where we have substantial acreage dedications. We had higher natural gas gathered and processed volumes in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, compared with the same periods in 2016, due to new production. These increases were offset partially by natural production declines from existing wells. We expect our natural gas volumes to continue to grow into 2018 due to producer drilling and completion activity, offset partially by the natural production declines from existing wells connected to our system.
Growth Projects - Our Natural Gas Gathering and Processing segment is investing in growth projects in NGL-rich areas, including the Bakken Shale and Three Forks formationformations in the Williston Basin and the STACK and SCOOP areas, of the Anadarko Basin, that we expect will enable us to meet the needs of crude oil and natural gas producers in those areas. In 2017, these investments are primarilySee “Growth Projects” in the form“Recent Developments” section for discussion of new well connections and related infrastructure.our announced capital-growth projects.
In July 2017, we announced plansWe continue to expandevaluate opportunities to increase the capacity of our Canadian Valley natural gasgathering and processing facilityassets or construct new assets to 400 MMcf/d from 200 MMcf/d and related gathering infrastructure in the STACK area of Oklahoma. This project is expected to be complete by the end of 2018 at a cost of $155 million to $165 million, excluding capitalized interest, and is supported by long-term primarily fee-based contracts, minimum volume commitments and acreage dedications.
In June 2017, we announced plans to connect our natural gas gathering systems in the STACK area of Oklahoma to an existing third-party processing facility, accessing 200 MMcf/d of processing capacity by constructing a 30-mile natural gas gathering pipeline and related infrastructure through the core of the STACK area. This project is expected to be complete by the end of 2017 at a cost of $40 million, excluding capitalized interest, and is supported by long-term acreage dedications.
In August 2016, we completed the 80 MMcf/d Bear Creek processing plant and related infrastructure project in the Williston Basin for approximately $240 million, excluding capitalized interest.accommodate supply growth.

Commodity Price Risk - See discussion regarding our commodity price risk and our expected equity volumes under “Commodity Price Risk” in Item 3, Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk in this Quarterly Report.
Natural Gas Liquids
Overview - Our Natural Gas Liquids segment owns and operates facilities that gather, fractionate, treat and distribute NGLs and store NGL products, primarily in Oklahoma, Kansas, Texas, New Mexico and the Rocky Mountain region, which includes the Williston, Powder River and DJ Basins, where we provide midstream services to producers of NGLs and deliver those products to the two primary market centers, one in the Mid-Continent in Conway, Kansas, and the other in the Gulf Coast in Mont Belvieu, Texas. We own or have an ownership interest in FERC-regulated natural gas liquids gathering and distribution pipelines in Oklahoma, Kansas, Texas, New Mexico, Montana, North Dakota, Wyoming and Colorado, and terminal and storage facilities in Missouri, Nebraska, Iowa and Illinois. We also own FERC-regulated natural gas liquids distribution and refined petroleum products pipelines in Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska, Iowa, Illinois and Indiana that connect our Mid-Continent assets with Midwest markets, including Chicago, Illinois. The majority of the pipeline-connected natural gas processing plants in Oklahoma, Kansas and the Texas Panhandle are connected to our natural gas liquids gathering systems. We own and operate truck- and rail-loading and -unloading facilities connected to our natural gas liquids fractionation and pipeline assets.
Most natural gas producedRevenue Recognition - In many of our exchange services contracts, we purchase the unfractionated NGLs at the wellhead contains a mixturetailgate of NGL components, suchthe processing plant and deduct contractual fees related to the transportation and fractionation services we must perform before we can sell them as ethane, propane, iso-butane, normal butane and natural gasoline. The NGLs that are separated from the natural gas stream at natural gas processing plants remain in a mixed, unfractionated form until they are gathered, primarily by pipeline, and delivered to fractionators where the NGLs are separated into NGL products. TheseUpon adoption of Topic 606 in January 2018, the contractual fees we charge are now recorded as a reduction to the commodity purchase price in cost of sales and fuel. To the extent we hold unfractionated NGLs in inventory, the related contractual fees previously recorded in services revenue when NGLs were received on our system will not be recognized until the unfractionated inventory is fractionated and sold. During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, we experienced an increase in our unfractionated NGL productsinventory. The contractual fees associated with those barrels are then stored or distributed to our customers, such as petrochemical manufacturers, heating fuel users, ethanol producers, refineries, exporters and propane distributors.
Revenues for our Natural Gas Liquids segment are derived primarily from fee-based services that we provide to our customers and fromreflected in the physical optimizationcost of our assets. We also purchase NGLsinventory and condensate from third parties, as well as from our Natural Gas Gatheringwill not be recognized in earnings until the inventory is fractionated and Processing segment. Our fee-based services have increased due primarily to new supply connections, expansion of existing connections and the completion of capital-growth projects. Our business activities are categorized as exchange services, transportation and storage services, and optimization and marketing, which are defined as follows:
Exchange services - we utilize our assets to gather, fractionate and/or treat, and transport unfractionated NGLs, thereby converting them into marketable NGL products shipped to a market center or customer-designated location. Many of these exchange volumes are under contracts with minimum volume commitments that provide a minimum level of revenues regardless of volumetric throughput. Our exchange services activities are primarily fee-based and include some rate-regulated tariffs; however, we also capture certain product price differentials through the fractionation process.
Transportation and storage services - we transport NGL products and refined petroleum products, primarily under FERC-regulated tariffs. Tariffs specify the maximum rates we may charge our customers and the general terms and conditions for NGL transportation service on our pipelines. Our storage activities consist primarily of fee-based NGL storage services at our Mid-Continent and Gulf Coast storage facilities.
Optimization and marketing - we utilize our assets, contract portfolio and market knowledge to capture location, product and seasonal price differentials. We primarily transport NGL products between Conway, Kansas, and Mont Belvieu, Texas, to capture the location price differentials between the two market centers. Our marketing activities also include utilizing our natural gas liquids storage facilities to capture seasonal price differentials. A growing portion of our marketing activities serves truck and rail markets. Our isomerization activities capture the price differential when normal butane is converted into the more valuable iso-butane at our isomerization unit in Conway, Kansas.
Supply growth from the development of NGL-rich areas and capacity available on pipelines that connect the Mid-Continent and Gulf Coast resulted in NGL price differentials remaining narrow between the Mid-Continent market center at Conway, Kansas, and the Gulf Coast market center at Mont Belvieu, Texas. We expect relatively narrow price differentials to persist between these two market centers until demand for NGLs increases from petrochemical companies and exporters, which we expect as ethylene producers complete their expansion projects in the coming months and international demand for NGLs increases export volumes.
Supply growth has resulted in available ethane supply that is greater than the petrochemical industry’s current demand. Low or unprofitable price differentials between ethane and natural gas have resulted in varied levels of ethane rejection at most of our and our customers’ natural gas processing plants connected to our NGL system in the Mid-Continent and Rocky Mountain regions, which also reduced the ethane component of natural gas liquids volumes gathered, fractionated, transported and sold across our assets. Ethane rejection levels across our system averaged more than 150 MBbl/d in the first nine months of 2017, which is slightly lower than the same period in 2016. We expect ethane recovery levels to continue to fluctuate as the price differential between ethane and natural gas changes. We expect ethane recovery levels to increase, initially in regions closest to market centers such as the Permian Basin and Mid-Continent region, as ethylene producers complete their expansion projects and NGL exporters increase their export volumes.
Our Natural Gas Liquids segment’s integrated assets enable us to mitigate partially the impact of ethane rejection through minimum volume commitments, contract modifications that vary fees for ethane and other NGL products, and our ability to utilize the transportation capacity made available due to ethane rejection to capture additional NGL location price differentials, when they exist, in our optimization activities.sold.
Growth Projects - Our growth strategy in our Natural Gas Liquids segment is focused around the crude oil and NGL-rich natural gas drilling activity in shale and other nonconventional resource areas from the Rocky Mountain region through the Mid-Continent region into the Permian Basin. Crude oil, natural gas and NGL production from this activity; higher petrochemical industry demand for NGL products; and increased exports have resulted in our making additional capital investments to expand our infrastructure to bring these commodities from supply basins to market.
Our Natural Gas Liquids segment invests in NGL-related projects to accommodate the transportation, fractionationtransport, fractionate and storage ofstore NGL supply from shale and other resource development areas across our asset base toand alleviate expected infrastructure constraints between the Mid-Continent and Gulf Coast market centers and to meet increasing petrochemical industry and NGL export
demand in the Gulf Coast. See “Growth Projects” in the “Recent Developments” section for discussion of our announced capital-growth projects.
We continue to evaluate opportunities to increase the capacity of our assets such as the Bakken, Sterling, Arbucklegathering and West Texas LPG Pipelinesfractionation assets or construct new assets to connect supply growth from the Williston Basin,and Powder River Basins, Mid-Continent region and Permian Basin with end-use markets. These expansion opportunities include potential projects which could be in addition to, or replace, our previously announced expansion of the Bakken NGL Pipeline to 160 MBbl/d.
WeIn the nine months ended September 30, 2018, we connected onethree third-party natural gas processing plantplants to our NGL system in the Permian BasinSTACK and SCOOP areas and one in the third quarter 2017, twoRocky Mountain region. One third-party natural gas processing plantsplant also was expanded in the STACK and SCOOP areas of the Mid-Continent region in the second quarter 2017 and three third-party natural gas processing plants in the first quarter 2017, one each in the STACK and SCOOP areas, Rocky Mountain region and the Permian Basin.
In August 2016, we completed the Bear Creek NGL infrastructure project in the Williston Basin for approximately $45 million, excluding AFUDC.
In June 2017, we announced plans to expand our natural gas liquids gathering system in the Mid-Continent and our existing Sterling III Pipeline. These expansions, which are backed by a long-term contract, will help accommodate expected volume growth from current and future natural gas processing plants in the STACK area. Expansions include increasing capacity on the Sterling III Pipeline to 250 MBbl/d from 190 MBbl/d and connecting our Arbuckle Pipeline to a third-party pipeline, which transports NGLs to petrochemical and refining markets in Louisiana. We expect to invest approximately $130 million, excluding capitalized interest, for these projects, which are expected to be completed by the end of 2018.
In October 2017, we announced that our WTLPG joint venture, in which we own an 80 percent interest, plans to extend its pipeline system into the core of the Delaware Basin, which includes construction of a 120-mile pipeline lateral and related infrastructure to support an initial capacity of 110 MBbl/d. The project is supported by long-term dedicated NGL production from two planned third-party natural gas processing plants and positions the West Texas LPG pipeline for significant future NGL volume growth. The project is expected to cost approximately $200 million, excluding capitalized interest, and be completed by the third quarter of 2018.region.

During August and September 2017, Hurricane Harvey caused disruptions to our exchange services businesslower storage capacity contracted with third parties in the Mid-Continent and Gulf Coast regions. While our assets did not experience any significant damage, some of our assets in the Gulf Coast and Mid-Continent areas briefly operated at reduced volumes following the hurricane due primarily to temporary refinery and petrochemical facility outages and constraints on our customers’ ability to receive NGL products. Our operating costs were also higher during this period due primarily to equipment rental and outside services related to maintaining operations of our assets during and immediately after the hurricane. We estimate that our operating income and adjusted EBITDA were adversely impacted by approximately $4.5 million due to these reduced volumes and increased operating costs.region.

Natural Gas Pipelines
Overview - Our Natural Gas Pipelines segment provides transportation and storage services to end users through its wholly owned assets and its 50 percent ownership interests in Northern Border Pipeline and Roadrunner.
Interstate Pipelines - Our interstate pipelines are regulated by the FERC and are located in North Dakota, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Tennessee, Oklahoma, Texas and New Mexico. Our interstate pipeline companies include:
Midwestern Gas Transmission, which is a bidirectional system that interconnects with Tennessee Gas Transmission Company’s pipeline near Portland, Tennessee, and with several interstate pipelines that have access to both the Utica Shale and the Marcellus Shale at the Chicago Hub near Joliet, Illinois;
Viking Gas Transmission, which is a bidirectional system that interconnects with a TransCanada Corporation pipeline at the United States border near Emerson, Canada, and ANR Pipeline Company near Marshfield, Wisconsin;
Guardian Pipeline, which interconnects with several pipelines at the Chicago Hub near Joliet, Illinois, and with local natural gas distribution companies in Wisconsin; and
OkTex Pipeline, which has interconnections with several pipelines in Oklahoma, Texas and New Mexico.
Intrastate Pipelines - Our intrastate natural gas pipeline assets in Oklahoma transport natural gas through the state and have access to the major natural gas production areas in the Mid-Continent region, which include the STACK and SCOOP areas in the Anadarko Basin and the Cana-Woodford Shale, Woodford Shale, Springer Shale, Meramec, Granite Wash and Mississippian Lime formations. Our intrastate natural gas pipeline assets in Oklahoma serve end-use markets, such as local distribution companies and power generation companies. In Texas, our intrastate natural gas pipelines are connected to the major natural gas producing formations in the Texas Panhandle, including the Granite Wash formation and Delaware, Cline and Midland producing formations in the Permian Basin. These pipelines are capable of transporting natural gas throughout the western portion of Texas, including the Waha Hub where other pipelines may be accessed for transportation to western markets, exports to Mexico, the Houston Ship Channel market to the east and the Mid-Continent market to the north. Our intrastate natural gas pipeline assets also have access to the Hugoton and Central Kansas Uplift Basins in Kansas.
Transportation Rates - Our transportation contracts for our regulated natural gas services are based upon rates stated in the respective tariffs. The tariffs provide both the general terms and conditions for the facilities and the maximum allowed rates customers can be charged by type of service, which may be discounted to meet competition if necessary. The rates are established at FERC or the appropriate state jurisdictional agencies. Our earnings are primarily fee-based from the following types of services:
Firm service - Customers reserve a fixed quantity of pipeline capacity for a specified period of time, which obligates the customer to pay regardless of usage. Under this type of contract, the customer pays a monthly fixed fee and incremental fees, known as commodity charges, which are based on the actual volumes of natural gas they transport or store. In addition, we may retain a percentage of fuel in-kind based on the volumes of natural gas transported. Under the firm service contract, the customer generally is guaranteed access to the capacity they reserve.
Interruptible service - Under interruptible service transportation agreements, the customer may utilize available capacity after firm service requests are satisfied. The customer is not guaranteed use of our pipelines unless excess capacity is available. Customers typically are assessed fees, such as a commodity charge, and we may retain a specified volume of natural gas in-kind based on their actual usage.
Storage - We own natural gas storage facilities located in Texas and Oklahoma that are connected to our intrastate natural gas pipelines. We also have underground natural gas storage facilities in Kansas. In Texas and Kansas, natural gas storage operations may be regulated by the state in which the facility operates and by the FERC for certain types of services. In Oklahoma, natural gas storage operations are not subject to rate regulation by the state and have market-based rate authority from the FERC for certain types of services.
Storage Rates - Our earnings are primarily fee-based from the following types of services:
Firm service - Customers reserve a specific quantity of storage capacity, including injection and withdrawal rights, and generally pay fixed fees based on the quantity of capacity reserved plus an injection and withdrawal fee. Firm storage contracts typically have terms longer than one year.
Park-and-loan service - An interruptible service offered to customers providing the ability to park (inject) or loan (withdraw) natural gas into or out of our storage, typically for monthly or seasonal terms. Customers reserve the right to park or loan natural gas based on a specified quantity, including injection and withdrawal rights when capacity is available.
Growth Projects - The WesTex pipeline expansion is a wholly owned project. Roadrunner is a 50 percent-owned equity-method investment project.
WesTex Pipeline Expansion - In October 2016, the WesTex pipeline expansion was completed for approximately $55 million, excluding capitalized interest. This expansion increased the pipeline capacity by 260 MMcf/d.
Roadrunner - Phase I and Phase II of the Roadrunner pipeline were completed in March and October 2016, respectively, for total project costs of approximately $200 million and $210 million, respectively, excluding capitalized interest. The current capacity of Roadrunner is 570 MMcf/d. Construction of Phase III of Roadrunner is planned for completion in 2019, which is expected to increase capacity by 70 MMcf/d and have total project costs of approximately $30 million to $40 million.

Due to the nature of our business, changes in commodity prices and sales volumes affect natural gas sales and cost of sales and fuel and therefore the impact is largely offset between these line items.
Adjusted EBITDA increased $7.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017, compared with the same period in 2016, primarily as a result of the following:
an increase of $6.7 million from higher transportation services due primarily to increased firm demand charge contracted capacity; and
an increase of $2.7 million in equity in net earnings from investments due primarily to higher firm transportation revenues on Roadrunner; offset partially by
a decrease of $3.6 million due primarily to gains on sales of excess natural gas in storage in 2016; and
an increase of $1.4 million in operating costs due primarily to higher labor and employee-related costs associated with our benefit plans.
Adjusted EBITDA increased $27.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, compared with the same period in 2016, primarily as a result of the following:
an increase of $22.7 million from higher transportation services due primarily to increased firm demand charge contracted capacity;
an increase of $13.9 million in equity in net earnings from investments due primarily to higher firm transportation revenues on Roadrunner; and
an increase of $3.2 million from higher net retained fuel due primarily to higher equity gas sales and higher natural gas prices, offset partially by lower natural gas volumes retained; offset partially by;
a decrease of $8.3 million due primarily to gains on sales of excess natural gas in storage in 2016; and
an increase of $7.4 million in operating costs due primarily to routine maintenance projects and higher labor and employee-related costs associated with our benefit plans.
Capital expenditures decreased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, compared with the same periods in 2016, due primarily to the completion of growth projects, offset partially by the timing of maintenance projects.

Our natural gas pipelines primarily serve end users, such as natural gas distribution and electric-generation companies, that require natural gas to operate their businesses regardless of location price differentials. The development of shale and other resource areas has continued to increase available natural gas supply, and we expect producers to demand incremental transportation services in the future as additional supply is developed. The abundance of natural gas supply and regulations on emissions from coal-fired electric-generation plants may also increase the demand for our services from electric-generation companies as they convert to a natural gas fuel source. Overall,
Growth Projects - In June 2018, we announced plans to expand our contracted transportation capacitynatural gas pipeline infrastructure in Oklahoma and fee-based earningsthe Permian Basin. The projects include an eastbound expansion of our ONEOK Gas Transportation system by 150 MMcf/d from the STACK and SCOOP areas to an interstate pipeline delivery point in this segment increasedeastern Oklahoma, a westbound expansion of our ONEOK Gas Transportation system by 100 MMcf/d from the STACK area to multiple interstate pipeline delivery points in connection with the October 2016 completionwestern Oklahoma, and an expansion of our WesTex Transmission system by 300 MMcf/d from the Permian Basin to interstate pipeline expansion.delivery points in the Texas Panhandle. Additionally, we announced an expansion project on our Roadrunner joint venture to make the pipeline bidirectional, which will result in approximately 1 Bcf/d of eastbound transportation capacity from the Delaware Basin to the Waha area. These projects are expected to be completed by the end of the first quarter 2019.

As a result of the adoption of Topic 606, we recorded retained fuel charges as a reduction to cost of sales and fuel that would have been recorded as transportation or storage revenue prior to adoption and therefore the impact is offset between these line items.
Adjusted EBITDA increased $2.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018, compared with the same period in 2017, primarily as a result of the following:
an increase of $9.9 million from transportation services due primarily to increased interruptible volumes and firm transportation capacity contracted; and
an increase of $1.5 million from equity earnings due primarily to higher firm transportation revenues on Roadrunner; offset partially by
an increase of $7.0 million in operating costs due primarily to employee-related costs associated with labor and benefits and timing of routine maintenance projects; and
a decrease of $2.6 million from net retained fuel due primarily to lower equity gas sales related to transportation and storage service.
Adjusted EBITDA increased $18.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, compared with the same period in 2017, primarily as a result of the following:
an increase of $21.4 million from transportation services due primarily to increased interruptible volumes and firm transportation capacity contracted; and
an increase of $6.3 million from natural gas storage services due primarily to higher incremental storage services; offset partially by
an increase of $9.6 million in operating costs due primarily to employee-related costs associated with labor and benefits and timing of routine maintenance projects.
Capital expenditures increased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, compared with the same periods in 2017, due primarily to timing of maintenance projects.

Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure of our financial performance. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income adjusted for interest expense, depreciation and amortization, noncash impairment charges, income taxes, allowance for equity funds used during construction, noncash compensation expense and other noncash items. Prior periods have been adjusted to conform to current presentation. We believe this non-GAAP financial measure is useful to investors because it and similar measures are used by many companies in our industry as a measurement of financial performance and is commonly employed by financial analysts and others to evaluate our financial performance and to compare financial performance among companies in our industry. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered an alternative to net income, earnings per unitshare or any other measure of financial performance presented in accordance with GAAP. Additionally, this calculation may not be comparable with similarly titled measures of other companies.
AThe following table sets forth a reconciliation of net income, from continuing operations, the nearest comparable GAAP financial performance measure, to adjusted EBITDA for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, is as follows:periods indicated:

CONTINGENCIES
See Note KJ of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in this Quarterly Report for a discussion of developments concerning the Gas Index Pricing Litigation and the ONEOK Partners Class Action Litigation.
Other Legal Proceedings - We are a party to various litigation matters and claims that have arisen in the normal course of our operations. While the results of these litigation matters and claims cannot be predicted with certainty, we believe the reasonably possible losses from such matters, individually and in the aggregate, are not material. Additionally, we believe the probable final outcome of such matters will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
General - Historically, ourOur primary sourcesources of cash inflows were distributions to us from our general partner and limited partner interests in ONEOK Partners. Beginning in the third quarter 2017, as a result of the completion of the Merger Transaction, our cash flow sources and requirements significantly changed. We now rely primarily onare operating cash flows, proceeds from our commercial paper bank credit facilities,program and our $2.5 Billion Credit Agreement, debt issuances and the issuance of common stock for our liquidity and capital resources requirements. In addition, we expect increased cash outflows related to i) capital expenditures, which were previously funded by ONEOK Partnersii) repayment of debt maturities and ii)iii) dividends paid to shareholders,shareholders. We expect our cash outflows related to capital expenditures and dividends paid to increase due to the increase in the number of shares outstanding as a result of the close of the Merger Transactionour announced capital-growth projects, our recent equity issuances and higher anticipated dividends per share, subject to ONEOK board of directors’ approval.
We expect our sources of cash inflow to continue to provide sufficient resources to finance our operations, capital expenditures and quarterly cash dividends, including expected future dividend increases. To the extent operating cash flows are not sufficientOur $1.25 billion notes offering completed in July 2018 provided additional liquidity to fund our dividends, we may utilize short-capital expenditures and long-term debt and issuances of equity, as necessary or appropriate.repay existing indebtedness. We may access the capital markets to issue debt or equity securities as we consider prudent to provide liquidity to refinance existing debt, improve credit metrics or to fund capital expenditures. We expect to continue to fund capital projects primarily with cash from operations, short-term borrowings and long-term debt. With $1.6 billion of equity issued in 2017 and January 2018, we have satisfied our expected equity financing needs for our announced capital-growth projects through the remainder of 2018. We expect to benefit from increasing cash flows from operations in 2019 and expect any additional equity financing to be considered in the latter part of 2019. This consideration will be based on the timing and amount of capital expenditures. If necessary, we expect any additional equity financing to be limited to issuances under our existing “at-the-market” equity program.
We manage interest-rate risk through the use of fixed-rate debt, floating-rate debt, interest-rate swaps and interest-rate swaps.treasury lock contracts. For additional information on our interest rate swaps, see Note DC of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in this Quarterly Report.
Cash Management - We use a centralized cash management program that concentrates the cash assets of our operating subsidiaries in joint accounts for the purposes of providing financial flexibility and lowering the cost of borrowing, transaction costs and bank fees. Our centralized cash management program provides that funds in excess of the daily needs of our operating subsidiaries are concentrated, consolidated or otherwise made available for use by other entities within our consolidated group. Our operating subsidiaries participate in this program to the extent they are permitted pursuant to FERC regulations or their operating agreements. Under the cash management program, depending on whether a participating subsidiary has short-term cash surpluses or cash requirements, we provide cash to the subsidiary or the subsidiary provides cash to us.
Short-term Liquidity - Beginning in the third quarter 2017, as a result of the completion of the Merger Transaction, ourOur principal sources of short-term liquidity consist of cash generated from operating activities, distributions received from our equity-method investments, and proceeds from our commercial paper program and our 2017$2.5 Billion Credit Agreement.
At September 30, 2018, we had $84.5 million of cash and cash equivalents and $2.4 billion of borrowing capacity under our $2.5 Billion Credit Agreement, and we were in compliance with all covenants of our “at-the-market” equity program. Historically, our primary sources of short-term liquidity were quarterly distributions to us from our general partner and limited partner interests in ONEOK Partners, cash on hand and access to our previous $300 million ONEOK$2.5 Billion Credit Agreement.
We had working capital (defined as current assets less current liabilities) deficits of $1.2 billion$642.3 million and $1.4 billion$902.9 million as of September 30, 2017,2018, and December 31, 2016,2017, respectively. Although working capital is influenced by several factors, including, among other things: (i) the timing of (a) scheduled debt payments, (b) the collection and payment of accounts receivable and payable, and (c) equity and debt issuances, and (ii) the volume and cost of inventory and commodity imbalances, our working capital deficit at September 30, 2017, and at December 31, 2016,2018, was driven primarily by current maturities of long-term debt, andwith December 31, 2017, also impacted by short-term borrowings. We may have working capital deficits in future periods as we continue to finance our capital-growthcapital projects and repay long-term debt, often initially with short-term borrowings. Our decision to utilize short-term borrowings rather than long-term debt, due to more favorable interest rates, contributesmay also contribute to our working capital deficit. We do not expect this working capital deficit to have an adverse impact to our cash flows or operations.
In April 2017, we entered into the 2017 Credit Agreement with a syndicate of banks to replace the existing ONEOK Credit Agreement and the ONEOK Partners Credit Agreement. The 2017 Credit Agreement became effective June 30, 2017, upon the closing of the Merger Transaction (as described in Note B of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in this Quarterly Report) and the terminations of the ONEOK Credit Agreement and the ONEOK Partners Credit Agreement. As of September 30, 2017, we were in compliance with all covenants of the 2017 Credit Agreement.
In July 2017, the commercial paper outstanding under the ONEOK Partners commercial paper program was repaid as it matured with a combination of proceeds from new issuances from ONEOK’s recently established $2.5 billion commercial paper program, cash on hand and proceeds from our July 2017 $1.2 billion senior notes issuance. The $2.4 billion ONEOK Partners commercial paper program was terminated in July 2017.
Effective with the Merger Transaction, we, ONEOK Partners and the Intermediate Partnership issued, to the extent not already in place, guarantees of the indebtedness of ONEOK and ONEOK Partners.
At September 30, 2017, we had approximately $11.7 million of cash and cash equivalents and approximately $1.6 billion of borrowing capacity under the 2017 Credit Agreement.
For additional information on our 2017$2.5 Billion Credit Agreement and commercial paper program, see Note ED of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in this Quarterly Report.
Long-term Financing - In addition to our principal sources of short-term liquidity discussed above, we expect to fund our longer-term financing requirements by issuing common stock long-term notes and/or long-term notes.loans from financial institutions. Other options to obtain financing include, but are not limited to, loans from financial institutions,issuing common stock, issuance of convertible debt securities or preferred equity securities, asset securitization and the sale and lease-back of facilities.
Debt issuancesIssuances - In July 2017,2018, we completed an underwritten public offering of $1.2$1.25 billion senior unsecured notes consisting of $500$800 million, 4.04.55 percent senior notes due 2027,2028, and $700$450 million, 4.955.2 percent senior notes due 2047.2048. The net proceeds, after deducting underwriting discounts, commissions and offering expenses, were approximately $1.18$1.23 billion. The proceeds were used for general corporate purposes, which included repayment of existing indebtedness and funding capital expenditures.
Debt Repayments - In August 2018, we repaid $425 million, 3.2 percent senior notes due September 2018 with cash on hand. In January 2018, we repaid the first quarter 2016, ONEOK Partners entered into the $1.0 billion Term Loan Agreement with a syndicate of banks and drew the full $1.0 billion available under the agreement. ONEOK Partners used the proceeds to repay $650remaining $500 million of senior
notes, which matured in February 2016, to repay amountsbalance outstanding under its commercial paper program and for general partnership purposes. The Term Loan Agreement matures in January 2019 and bears interest at LIBOR plus 130 basis points based on our current credit ratings. In April 2017, ONEOK Partners entered into the first amendment to the Term Loan Agreement which, among other things, added ONEOK as a guarantor to the Term Loan Agreement effective with the closing of the Merger Transaction described in Note B.
Repayments - In September 2017, we repaid ONEOK Partners’ $400 million, 2.0 percent senior notes due in October 20172019 with a combination of cash on hand and short-term borrowings.
In July 2017, we redeemed our 6.5 percent senior notes due 2028 at a redemption price of approximately $87 million, including the outstanding principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, with cash on hand.
Also in July 2017, we repaid $500 million of the $1.0 billion Term Loan Agreement due 2019.
For additional information on our consolidated long-term debt, see Note E.D of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in this Quarterly Report.
Equity issuances - In April 2017, through a wholly owned subsidiary,January 2018, we contributed 20,000completed an underwritten public offering of 21.9 million shares of Series E Preferred Stock, having an aggregate valueour common stock at a public offering price of $20 million,$54.50 per share, generating net proceeds of $1.2 billion. We used the net proceeds from this offering to the Foundationfund capital expenditures and for use in future charitable and nonprofit causes. The contribution was recorded asgeneral corporate purposes, which included repaying a $20 million noncash expense in the second quarter 2017.portion of our outstanding indebtedness.
In July 2017, we established an “at-the-market” equity program for the offer and sale from time to time of our common stock up to an aggregate amount of $1 billion. The program allows us to offer and sell our common stock at prices we deem
appropriate through a sales agent. Sales of our common stock may be made by means of ordinary brokers’ transactions on the NYSE, in block transactions or as otherwise agreed to between us and the sales agent. We are under no obligation to offer and sell common stock under the program.
During the three monthsyear ended September 30,December 31, 2017, we sold 1.28.4 million shares of common stock through our “at-the-market” equity program that resulted in net proceeds of approximately $64.7 million, of which $30.8 million had settled as of September 30, 2017. In October 2017, we sold an additional 2.1 million shares of common stock through this program that resulted in net proceeds of $119.5 million. The net proceeds from these issuances were used for general corporate purposes, including repayment of outstanding indebtedness and to fund capital expenditures.
Prior to the close of the Merger Transaction, ONEOK Partners had an “at-the-market” equity program for the offer and sale from time to time of its common units, up to an aggregate amount of $650$448.3 million. During the sixthree and nine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2017, and the year ended December 31, 2016,2018, no common unitsshares were sold through ONEOK Partners’our “at-the-market” equity program. Upon the close of the Merger Transaction on June 30, 2017, the ONEOK Partners “at-the-market” equity program terminated.
Capital Expenditures - We classify expenditures that are expected to generate additional revenue, return on investment or significant operating efficiencies as capital-growth expenditures. Maintenance capital expenditures are those capital expenditures required to maintain our existing assets and operations and do not generate additional revenues. Maintenance capital expenditures are made to replace partially or fully depreciated assets, to maintain the existing operating capacity of our assets and to extend their useful lives. Our capital expenditures are financed typically through operating cash flows, short- and long-term debt and the issuance of equity.
Capital expenditures, excluding AFUDC and capitalized interest, were $330.4 million$1.3 billion and $491.5$330.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 20172018 and 2016,2017, respectively.
We expect our total 20172018 growth capital expenditures to range from $450 million$2.0 billion to $550 million$2.3 billion and our maintenance capital expenditures to range from $130$170.0 million to $150$180.0 million, excluding AFUDC and capitalized interest. See discussion of our announced growthcapital-growth projects in “Natural Gas Gathering and Processing” and “Natural Gas Liquids” in the “Financial Results and Operating Information”“Recent Developments” section.
Credit Ratings - Our long-term debt credit ratings as of October 23, 2017,22, 2018, are shown in the table below:
|
| | |
Rating Agency | Rating | Outlook |
Moody’s | Baa3 | Stable |
S&P | BBB | Stable |
Following the close of the Merger Transaction, S&P and Moody’s upgraded our credit ratings, removed our credit rating from review and issued stable outlooks. The ONEOKOur commercial paper program is rated Prime-3 by Moody’s and A-2 by S&P.
Our credit ratings, which are investment grade, may be affected by a material change in our financial ratios or a material event affecting our business and industry. The most common criteria for assessment of our credit ratings are the debt-to-EBITDA ratio, interest coverage, business risk profile and liquidity. If our credit ratings were downgraded, our cost to borrow funds under the 2017our $2.5 Billion Credit Agreement would increase and a potential loss of access to the commercial paper market could occur. In the event that we are unable to borrow funds under our commercial paper program, and there has not been a material adverse change in our business, we would continue to have access to our 2017$2.5 Billion Credit Agreement, which expires in 2022.2023. An adverse credit rating change alone is not a default under our 2017$2.5 Billion Credit Agreement. We do not expect a downgrade in our credit rating to have a material impact on our results of operations.
In the normal course of business, our counterparties provide us with secured and unsecured credit. In the event of a downgrade in our credit ratings or a significant change in our counterparties’ evaluation of our creditworthiness, we could be required to provide additional collateral in the form of cash, letters of credit or other negotiable instruments as a condition of continuing to conduct business with such counterparties. We may be required to fund margin requirements with our counterparties with cash, letters of credit or other negotiable instruments.
Cash Distributions - Prior to the consummation of the Merger Transaction, we received distributions from ONEOK Partners on our common and Class B units and our 2 percent general partner interest, which included our incentive distribution rights. Additional information about ONEOK Partners’ cash distributions and our incentive distribution rights for the periods prior to June 30, 2017, is included under “Cash Distributions” in Note O of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our Annual Report.
Distributions paid to ONEOK Partners unitholders of record at the close of business on January 30, 2017, and May 1, 2017, were $0.79 per unit. Our incentive distribution rights effectively terminated at the close of the Merger Transaction.
Dividends - Holders of our common stock share equally in any dividend declared by our board of directors, subject to the rights of the holders of outstanding preferred stock. Dividends paid on our common stock to shareholders of record at the close of business on January 30, 2017,in February 2018, May 1, 2017,2018 and August 7, 2017,2018 were $0.615, $0.615,$0.77 per share, $0.795 per share and $0.745$0.825 per share, respectively. A dividend of $0.745$0.855 per share was declared for the shareholders of record at the close of business on November 6, 2017,5, 2018, payable November 14, 2017.2018.
OurThe Series E Preferred Stock pays quarterly dividends on each share of Series E Preferred Stock, when, as and if declared by our Board of Directors, at a rate of 5.5 percent per year. In August 2017, weWe paid dividends of $0.4 million for the Series E Preferred Stock.Stock of $0.3 million each in February 2018, May 2018 and August 2018. Dividends totaling approximately $0.3 million were declared for the Series E Preferred Stock and are payable November 14, 2017.2018.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, cash dividends and distributions paid to noncontrolling interests were sufficiently funded by2018, cash flows from operations.operations exceeded cash dividends paid by $533.4 million. We expect our cash flows from operations to continue to sufficiently fund our cash dividends. To the extent operating cash flows are not sufficient to fund our dividends, we may utilize short- and long-term debt and issuances of equity, as necessary or appropriate.
Pension and Postretirement Benefit Plans - Information about our pension and postretirement benefit plans, including anticipated contributions, is included under Note L
CASH FLOW ANALYSIS
We use the indirect method to prepare our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Under this method, we reconcile net income to cash flows provided by operating activities by adjusting net income for those items that affect net income but do not result in actual cash receipts or payments during the period and for operating cash items that do not impact net income. These reconciling items can include depreciation and amortization, impairment charges, allowance for equity funds used during construction, gain or loss on sale of assets, deferred income taxes, net undistributed earnings from equity-method investments, share-based compensation expense, noncash expense related to our Series E Preferred Stock contribution to the Foundation, other amounts and changes in our assets and liabilities not classified as investing or financing activities.
The following table sets forth the changes in cash flows by operating, investing and financing activities for the periods indicated:

Operating Cash Flows - Operating cash flows are affected by earnings from our business activities.activities and changes in our operating assets and liabilities. Changes in commodity prices and demand for our services or products, whether because of general economic conditions, changes in supply, changes in demand for the end products that are made with our products or increased competition from other service providers, could affect our earnings and operating cash flows. Our operating cash flows can also be impacted by changes in our natural gas and NGL inventory balances, which are driven primarily by commodity prices, supply, demand and the operation of our assets.
Cash flows from operating activities, before changes in operating assets and liabilities, increased to $1.1$1.5 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2017,2018, compared with $1.0$1.1 billion for the same period in 2016.2017. This increase is due primarily to higher revenuesearnings resulting from volume growth in the Williston Basin and STACK and SCOOP areas in our Natural Gas Gathering and Processing and Natural Gas Liquids segments higher fees resulting from contract restructuring in our Natural Gas Gathering and Processing segment, higher transportation services due to increased firm demand charge contracted capacity in our Natural Gas Pipelines segment and higher optimization and marketing earnings due primarily to wider productlocation price differentials and the sale of NGL inventory previously held in our Natural Gas Liquids segment, as discussed in “Financial Results and Operating Information.”
The changes in operating assets and liabilities decreasedincreased operating cash flows $139.8$44.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017,2018, compared with a decrease of $112.7$139.8 million for the same period in 2016.2017. This change is due primarily to the change in the fair value of our risk-management assets and liabilities; the change in natural gas and NGLs in storage, and commodity imbalances, which vary from period to period and vary with changes in commodity prices, the change in risk-management assets and liabilities related to our interest-rate swapsprices; and the change in accounts receivable, accounts payable, and other accruals and deferrals resulting from the timing of receipt of cash from customers and payments to vendors, suppliers and other third parties.
Investing Cash Flows - Cash used in investing activities decreased to $394.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017,2018, increased $1.1 billion compared with $484.6 million for the same period in 20162017, due primarily to projects placed in service in 2016, offset partially by higher contributionsincreased capital expenditures related to our unconsolidated affiliates.capital-growth projects and the WTLPG acquisition.
Financing Cash Flows - Cash used infrom financing activities increased to $778.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017,2018, increased $794.2 million compared with $297.4 million for the same period in 2016,2017, due primarily to repaymentsissuance of long-termcommon stock, offset partially by repayment of short-term borrowings and short-term debt in the nine months ended September 30, 2017.increased dividends.
REGULATORY, ENVIRONMENTAL AND SAFETY MATTERS
Regulatory - See discussion regarding FERC developments under “Regulatory” in Note J of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in this Quarterly Report.
Environmental Matters - We are subject to multiple federal, state, local and/or tribal historical preservation and environmental laws and/or regulations that affect many aspects of our present and future operations. Regulated activities include, but are not limited to, those involving air emissions, storm water and wastewater discharges, handling and disposal of solid and hazardous wastes, wetlands and waterways preservation, cultural resource protection, hazardous materials transportation, and pipeline and facility construction. These laws and regulations require us to obtain and/or comply with a wide variety of environmental clearances, registrations, licenses, permits and other approvals. Failure to comply with these laws, regulations, licenses and permits may expose us to fines, penalties and/or interruptions in our operations that could be material to our results of operations. For example, if a leak or spill of hazardous substances or petroleum products occurs from pipelines or facilities that we own, operate or otherwise use, we could be held jointly and severally liable for all resulting liabilities, including response, investigation and cleanup costs, which could affect materially our results of operations and cash flows. In addition, emissions controls and/or other regulatory or permitting mandates under
the Clean Air Act and other similar federal and state laws could require unexpected capital expenditures at our facilities. We cannot assure that existing environmental statutes and regulations will not be revised or that new regulations will not be adopted or become applicable to us.
Additional information about our regulatory, environmental and safety matters can be found in “Regulatory, Environmental and Safety Matters” under Part I, Item 1, Business, in our Annual Report.
IMPACT OF NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
See Note A of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in this Quarterly Report for discussion of new accounting standards.
ESTIMATES AND CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The preparation of our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures in accordance with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions with respect to values or conditions that cannot be known with certainty that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements. These estimates and assumptions also affect the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Although we believe these estimates and assumptions are reasonable, actual results could differ from our estimates.
Information about our estimates and critical accounting policies is included under Item 7, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, “Estimates and Critical Accounting Policies,” in our Annual Report.

ITEM 3. | QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK |
Our quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk are consistent with those discussed in Part II, Item 7A, Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures Aboutabout Market Risk, in our Annual Report.
COMMODITY PRICE RISK
As part of our hedging strategy, we use commodity derivative financial instruments and physical-forward contracts described in Note DC of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in this Quarterly Report to reduce the impact of near-term price fluctuations of natural gas, NGLs and condensate.
Although our businesses are predominantlyprimarily fee-based, in our Natural Gas Gathering and Processing segment, we are exposed to commodity price risk as a result of retaining a portion of the commodity sales proceeds associated with our POP with fee contracts. We have restructured a portion of our POP with fee contracts to include significantly higher fees, which reduces our equity volumes and the related commodity price exposure. However, underUnder certain POP with fee contracts, our contractual fees and POP percentage may increase or decrease if production volumes, delivery pressures or commodity prices change relative to specified thresholds. We are exposed to basis risk between the various production and market locations where we buy and sell commodities.
The following tables set forth hedging information for our Natural Gas Gathering and Processing segment’s forecasted equity volumes for the periods indicated:
| | | Three Months Ending December 31, 2017 | Three Months Ending December 31, 2018 |

Our Natural Gas Gathering and Processing segment’s commodity price sensitivity is estimated as a hypothetical change in the price of NGLs, crude oil and natural gas at September 30, 2017.2018. Condensate sales are typically based on the price of crude oil. We estimate the following for our forecasted equity volumes, including the effects of hedging information set forth above and assuming normal operating conditions:
a $0.01 per-gallon change in the composite price of NGLs, excluding ethane, would change adjusted EBITDA for the three months ending December 31, 2017,2018, and for the yearsyear ending December 31, 2018, and December 31, 2019, by approximately $0.1 million $1.9 million and $3.5$0.2 million, respectively;
a $1.00 per-barrel change in the price of crude oil would change adjusted EBITDA for the three months ending December 31, 2017,2018, and for the yearsyear ending December 31, 2018, and December 31, 2019, by approximately $0.1 million, $0.5$0.2 million and $1.4$0.4 million, respectively; and
a $0.10 per-MMBtu change in the price of residue natural gas would change adjusted EBITDA for the three months ending December 31, 2017,2018, and for the yearsyear ending December 31, 2018, and December 31, 2019, by approximately $0.1 million, $0.5 million and $2.8$0.4 million, respectively.
These estimates do not include any effects on demand for our services or natural gas processing plant operations that might be caused by, or arise in conjunction with, commodity price fluctuations. For example, a change in the gross processing spread may cause a change in the amount of ethane extracted from the natural gas stream, impacting gathering and processing financial results for certain contracts.
See Note DC of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in this Quarterly Report for more information on our hedging activities.
INTEREST-RATE RISK
We are exposed to interest-rate risk through our 2017$2.5 Billion Credit Agreement, commercial paper program the Term Loan Agreement and long-term debt issuances. Future increases in LIBOR, corporate commercial paper rates or corporate bond rates could expose us to increased interest costs on future borrowings. We manage interest-rate risk through the use of fixed-rate debt, floating-rate debt, interest-rate swaps and interest-rate swaps.treasury lock contracts. Interest-rate swaps are agreements to exchange interest payments at some future point based on specified notional amounts. At September 30, 2017,2018, and December 31, 2016,2017, we had forward-starting interest-rate swaps with notional amounts totaling $1.3$1.8 billion and $1.2$1.3 billion, respectively, to hedge the variability of interest payments on a portion of our forecasted debt issuances andissuances. At December 31, 2017, we had interest-rate swaps with a notional amountsamount totaling $500 million and $1 billion, respectively, to hedge the variability of our LIBOR-based interest payments. All of our interest-rate swaps are designated as cash flow hedges. At September 30, 2017,2018, we had derivative assets of $45.7$50.5 million and no derivative liabilities related to these interest-rate swaps. At December 31, 2016,2017, we had derivative assets of $47.5 million and derivative liabilities of $12.8$50.0 million related to these interest-rate swaps.
In July 2017,2018, we entered into $1.5 billion of forward-starting interest-rate swaps and treasury lock contracts to hedge the variability of interest payments on a portion of our forecasted debt issuances that may result from changes in the benchmark interest rate before the debt is issued. We also settled $400 million$1.0 billion of our forward-starting interest-rateinterest rate swaps upon the completion ofand treasury lock contracts related to our underwritten public offering of $1.2$1.25 billion senior unsecured notes completed in July 2018, and the remaining $500 million of our interest-rate swaps used to hedge our LIBOR-based interest payments.
See Note DC of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in this Quarterly Report for more information on our hedging activities.
COUNTERPARTY CREDIT RISK
We assess the creditworthiness of our counterparties on an ongoing basis and require security, including prepayments and other forms of collateral, when appropriate. Certain of our counterparties to our Natural Gas Gathering and Processing segment’s commodity sales, our Natural Gas Liquids segment’s marketing activities and our Natural Gas Pipelines segment’s storage activities may be impacted by thea relatively low commodity price environment and could experience financial problems, which could result in nonpayment and/or nonperformance, which could impact adversely impact our results of operations.
Customer concentration - For the nine months ended September 30, 2017,2018, no single customer represented more than 10 percent of our consolidated revenues and only 25 customers individually represented one percent or more of our consolidated revenues,revenues.
the majority of which are investment-grade customers, as rated by S&P, Moody’s or our comparable internal ratings, or secured by letters of credit or other collateral.
Natural Gas Gathering and Processing - Our Natural Gas Gathering and Processing segment’s customers aresegment derives services revenue primarily from crude oil and natural gas producers, which include both large integrated and independent exploration and production companies. In this segment, our downstream commodity sales customers are primarily utilities, large industrial companies, marketing companies and our NGL affiliate. We are not typically exposed to material credit risk with producers under POP with fee contracts, as we sell the commodities and remit a portion of the sales proceeds back to the producer customer.less our contractual fees. For the nine months ended September 30, 20172018 and 2016,2017, approximately 95 percent and 99 percent, respectively, of the downstream commodity sales in our Natural Gas Gathering and Processing segment were made to investment-grade customers, as rated by S&P, Moody’s or our comparable internal ratings, or were secured by letters of credit or other collateral.
Natural Gas Liquids - Our Natural Gas Liquids segment’s customerscounterparties are primarily NGL and natural gas gathering and processing companies; large integrated and independent crude oil and natural gas production companies; propane distributors; ethanol producers; and petrochemical, refining and NGL marketing companies. We earn fee-based revenue fromcharge fees to NGL and natural gas gathering and processing customerscounterparties and natural gas liquids pipeline transportation customers. We are not typically exposed to material credit risk on the majority of our exchange services fee revenues,fees, as we purchase NGLs from our gathering and processing customerscounterparties and deduct our fee from the amounts we remit. We also earn sales revenue on the downstream sales of NGL products. For the nine months ended September 30, 20172018 and 2016,2017, approximately 80 percent and 81 percent, respectively, of ourthis segment’s commodity sales were made to investment-grade customers, as rated by S&P, Moody’s or our comparable internal ratings, or were secured by letters of credit or other collateral. In addition, the majority of our Natural Gas Liquids segment’s pipeline tariffs provide us the ability to require security from shippers.
Natural Gas Pipelines - Our Natural Gas Pipelines segment’s customers are primarily local natural gas distribution companies, electric-generation facilities, large industrial companies, municipalities, irrigation customersproducers and marketing companies. For the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, and 2016, approximately 9085 percent and 8790 percent, respectively, of our revenues in this segment were from investment-grade customers, as rated by S&P, Moody’s or our comparable internal ratings, or were secured by letters of credit or other collateral. In addition, the majority of our Natural Gas Pipelines segment’s pipeline tariffs provide us the ability to require security from shippers.

Our investors should consider the risks set forth in Part I, Item 1A, Risk Factors, of our Annual Report that could affect us and our business, except for the additional risk factor discussed below.business. Although we have tried to discuss key factors, our investors need to be aware that other risks may prove to be important in the future. New risks may emerge at any time, and we cannot predict such risks or estimate the extent to which they may affect our financial performance. Investors should carefully consider the discussion of risks and the other information included or incorporated by reference in this Quarterly Report, including “Forward-Looking Statements,” which are included in Part I, Item 2, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
Our consolidated debt and guarantee obligations could make us more vulnerable to general adverse economic and industry conditions, limit our ability to borrow additional funds and place us at a competitive disadvantage.
In connection with the Merger Transaction, ONEOK Partners and the Intermediate Partnership entered into agreements guaranteeing our obligations under the 2017 Credit Agreement and our outstanding senior notes and commercial paper, and we entered into agreements guaranteeing ONEOK Partners’ obligations under the Term Loan Agreement and its outstanding senior notes. We are therefore liable for these debt obligations of ONEOK Partners in the event of a default. Our indebtedness, along with our guarantee obligations, could make us more vulnerable to general adverse economic and industry conditions, limit our ability to borrow additional funds, place us at competitive disadvantages compared with our competitors that have less debt and fewer guarantee obligations and/or have other adverse consequences. For more information about our debt, see Note E of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in this Quarterly Report.
