Note 2.  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies


Apart from those matters noted below, there have been no changes in our significant accounting policies since those reported under Note 2 of the 20172018 Form 10-K.


Adoption of New Revenue Recognition Policies on January 1, 2018
For periods through December 31, 2017, we accounted for our revenue streams using Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 605, Revenue Recognition.  Under ASC 605, we recognized revenue when all of the following criteria were met: (i) persuasive evidence of an exchange arrangement existed between usCash, Cash Equivalents and the counterparty (e.g., published tariffs), (ii) delivery of products or the rendering of services had occurred, (iii) the price of the products or the fee for services was fixed or determinable and (iv) collectibility of the amount owed by the counterparty was reasonably assured.

Effective January 1, 2018, we adopted FASB ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, using a modified retrospective approach that applied the new revenue recognition standard to existing contracts at the implementation date and any future revenue contracts.   As such, our consolidated revenues and related financial information for periods prior to January 1, 2018 were not adjusted and continue to be reported in accordance with ASC 605.   We did not record a cumulative effect adjustment upon initially applying ASC 606 since there was no impact on partners’ equity upon adoption; however, the extent of our revenue-related disclosures has increased under the new standard.

Due to the large number of individual contracts that were in effect at the implementation date of ASC 606, we evaluated our contracts using a portfolio approach based on the types of products sold or services rendered within our business segments.  There are no material differences in the amount or timing of revenues recognized under ASC 606 when compared to ASC 605.

The core principle of ASC 606 is that a company should recognize revenue in a manner that fairly depicts the transfer of goods or services to customers in amounts that reflect the consideration the company expects to receive for those goods or services.  We apply this core principle by following five key steps outlined in ASC 606: (i) identify the contract; (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the performance obligation is satisfied. Each of these steps involves management judgment and an analysis of the contract’s material terms and conditions.

Substantially all of our revenues are accounted for under ASC 606; however, to a limited extent, some revenues are accounted for under other guidance such as ASC 840, Leases, ASC 845, Nonmonetary Transactions or ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging Activities.

Under ASC 606, we recognize revenue when or as we satisfy our performance obligation to the customer.  In situations where we have recognized revenue, but have a conditional right to consideration (based on something other than the passage of time) from the customer, we recognize unbilled revenue (a contract asset) on our consolidated balance sheet.  Unbilled revenue is reclassified to accounts receivable when we have an unconditional right of payment from the customer. Payments received from customers in advance of the period in which we satisfy a performance obligation are recorded as deferred revenue (a contract liability) on our consolidated balance sheet.
8

ENTERPRISE PRODUCTS PARTNERS L.P.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Our revenue streams are derived from the sale of products and providing midstream services.  Revenues from the sale of products are recognized at a point in time, which represents the transfer of control (and the satisfaction of our performance obligation under the contract) to the customer.  From that point forward, the customer is able to direct the use of, and obtain substantially all the benefits from, its use of the products.  With respect to midstream services (e.g., interruptible transportation), we satisfy our performance obligations over time and recognize revenues when the services are provided and the customer receives the benefits based on an output measure of volumes redelivered.  We believe this measure is a faithful depiction of the transfer of control for midstream services since there is (i) an insignificant period of time between the receipt of customers’ volumes and their subsequent redelivery, and (ii) it is not possible to individually track and differentiate customers’ inventories as they traverse our facilities.  For stand-ready performance obligations (e.g., a storage capacity reservation contract), we recognize revenues over time on a straight-line basis as time elapses over the term of the contract. We believe that these approaches accurately depict the transfer of benefits to the customer.

Customers are invoiced for product purchases or services rendered when we have an unconditional right to consideration under the associated contract. The consideration we are entitled to invoice may be either fixed, variable or a combination of both.  Examples of fixed consideration would be fixed payments from customers under take-or-pay arrangements, storage capacity reservation agreements and firm transportation contracts. Variable consideration represents payments from customers that are based on factors that fluctuate (or vary) based on volumes, prices or both. Examples of variable consideration include interruptible transportation agreements, market-indexed product sales contracts and the value of NGLs we retain under natural gas processing agreements.  The terms of our billings are typical of the industry for the products we sell.

Under certain midstream service agreements, customers are required to provide a minimum volume over an agreed-upon period with a provision that allows the customer to make-up any volume shortfalls over an agreed-upon period (referred to as shipper “make-up rights”).  Revenue pursuant to such agreements is initially deferred and subsequently recognized when either the make-up rights are exercised, the likelihood of the customer exercising the rights becomes remote, or we are otherwise released from the performance obligation.

Customers may contribute funds to us to help offset the construction costs related to pipeline construction activities and production well tie-ins.   Under ASC 605, these amounts were accounted for as contributions in aid of construction costs (“CIACs”) and netted against property, plant and equipment.   Under ASC 606, these receipts are recognized as additional service revenues over the term of the associated midstream services provided to the customer.

As a practical expedient, for those contracts under which we have the ability to invoice the customer in an amount that corresponds directly with the value of the performance obligation completed to date, we recognize revenue as we have the right to invoice.

See Note 9 regarding our new revenue disclosures.

Impact of ASU 2016-18 on Restricted Cash Disclosures
We adopted Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash, in the fourth quarter of 2017 and applied this ASU retrospectively to the periods presented in our Unaudited Condensed Statements of Consolidated Cash Flows.  As a result, the decrease in restricted cash of $319.1 million was excluded from net cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2017.

Restricted cash represents amounts held in segregated bank accounts by our clearing brokers as margin in support of our commodity derivative instruments portfolio and related physical purchases and sales of natural gas, NGLs, crude oil and refined products.  Additional cash may be restricted to maintain our commodity derivative instruments portfolio as prices fluctuate or margin requirements change.  The balance of restricted cash at June 30, 2018 consisted of initial margin requirements of $51.4 million and variation margin requirements of $232.2 million. The initial margin requirements will be returned to us as the related derivative instruments are settled.  See Note 1413 for information regarding our derivative instruments and hedging activities.


Future Adoption of New Recent Accounting Developments

Lease Accounting Standardaccounting standard
In February 2016, the FASBFinancial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASCAccounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 842, Leases(“ASC 842”), which requires substantially all leases (with the exception of leases with a term of one year or less) to be recorded on the balance sheet using a method referred to as the right-of-use (“ROU”) asset approach.sheet. We will adoptadopted the new standard on January 1, 2019 and applyapplied it to (i) all new leases entered into after January 1, 2019 and (ii) all existing lease contracts as of January 1, 2019 through a cumulative adjustment to equity.  In accordance with this approach, our consolidated operating expenses for periods prior to January 1, 2019 will not be revised.2019. ASC 842 supersedes existing lease accounting guidance found under ASC 840, Leases.


The new standard introduces two leaselessee accounting models, which result in a lease being classified as either a “finance” or “operating” lease based on the basis of whether the lessee effectively obtains control of the underlying asset during the lease term.  A lease would be classified as a finance lease if it meets one of five classification criteria, four of which are generally consistent with currentASC 840 lease accounting guidance.  By default, a lease that does not meet the criteria to be classified as a finance lease will be deemed an operating lease.  Regardless of classification, the initial measurement of both lease types will result in the balance sheet recognition of a ROUright-of-use (“ROU”) asset representing(representing a company’s right to use the underlying asset for a specified period of timetime) and a corresponding lease liability.  The lease liability will be recognized at the present value of the future lease payments, and the ROU asset will equal the lease liability adjusted for any prepaid rent, lease incentives provided by the lessor, and any indirect costs.


The subsequent measurement of each type of lease varies. Leases classified as aFor finance lease will be accounted for using the effective interest method.  Under this approach,leases, a lessee will amortize the ROU asset (generally on a straight-line basis in a manner similar to depreciation) and the discount onaccrete the lease liability (as a component of interest expense) using the effective interest methodLeases classified as an operating leaseOperating leases will result in the recognition of a single lease expense amount that is recorded on a straight-line basis (or another systematic basis, if more appropriate).basis.

ASC 842 will resultresulted in changes to the way our operating leases are recorded, presented and disclosed in our consolidated financial statements.

Our minimum payment obligations under operating leases with terms in excess of one year totaled $430.0 million at June 30, 2018 (undiscounted). Upon adoption of ASC 842 on January 1, 2019, we expect to recognizerecognized a ROU asset and a corresponding lease liability based on the present value of suchthen existing long-term operating lease obligations. Based on current estimates,In addition, we expect that the totalelected to apply several practical expedients and made accounting policy elections upon adoption of ASC 842 including:

We will not recognize ROU assets we would recognizeand lease liabilities for short-term leases and instead record them in a manner similar to operating leases under legacy lease accounting guidelines.  A short term lease is one with a maximum lease term of 12 months or less and does not include a purchase option the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise.


We will not reassess whether any expired or existing contracts contain leases or the lease classification for any existing or expired leases.


The impact of adopting ASC 842 was prospective beginning January 1, 2019.  We will account for less than 1% of totalnot recast prior periods presented in our consolidated assets.

Substantially all of our revenues are derived from contracts with customers as defined within ASC 606.customers.  In total, product sales and midstream services accounted for 84%82% and 16%18%, respectively, of our consolidated revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017.  2019During the six months ended June 30, 20182019, product sales and 2017, midstream services accounted for 83% and 17%, respectively, of our consolidated revenues.  During the three months ended June 30, 2018, product sales and midstream services accounted for 84% and 16%, respectively, of our consolidated revenues.  During the six months ended June 30, 2018, product sales and midstream services accounted for 85% and 15%, respectively, of our consolidated revenues.

Apart from the following information regarding natural gas processing, the description of our significant revenue streams by business segment found under Note 3 of the 2017 Form 10-K have not changed in connection with the adoption of ASC 606.

Natural gas processing utilizes service contracts that are either fee-based, commodity-based or a combination of the two. Our commodity-based contracts include keepwhole, margin-band, percent-of-liquids, percent-of-proceeds and contracts featuring a combination of commodity and fee-based terms.  When a cash fee for natural gas processing services is stipulated by a contract, we record revenue as a producer’s natural gas has been processed.

Under ASC 605, our natural gas processing business did not recognize revenue in connection with non-cash consideration (the “equity NGL volumes”) it received under percent-of-liquids and similar arrangements. We recognized revenue when the associated NGLs were delivered and sold to downstream customers under NGL marketing product sales contracts.

Under ASC 606, our natural gas processing business recognizes the value of the equity NGL volumes it receives from customers as a form of midstream service revenue. The value assigned to this non-cash consideration and related inventory is based on the market value of the equity NGLs we are entitled to when the services are performed.  We also recognize revenue, along with a corresponding cost of sales, when the NGLs are delivered and sold to downstream customers under NGL marketing product sales contracts.

ENTERPRISE PRODUCTS PARTNERS L.P.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The additional service revenue recognized for the non-cash consideration increased our total revenues by approximately 2% for the six months ended June 30, 2018 when compared to the amount of revenues we would have recognized under ASC 605 for the quarter.  Given the rapid turnover of our inventories of NGL products each month, we do not expect a significant change in our gross operating margin from natural gas processing and related NGL marketing activities as a result of the changes required by ASC 606.

Remaining Performance Obligations

The following table presents estimated fixed future consideration from contracts with customers as of June 30, 2019  that contain minimum volume commitments, deficiency and similar fees, and the term of the contracts exceedscontract terms exceeding one year. These amounts represent the revenues we expect to recognize in future periods from these contracts as of June 30, 2018.  For a significant portion of our revenue, we bill customers a contractual rate for the services provided multiplied by the amount of volume handled in a given period.  We have the right to invoice the customer in the amount that corresponds directly with the value of our performance completed to date.  Therefore, we are not required to disclose information about the variable consideration of remaining performance obligations as we recognize revenue equal to the amount that we have the right to invoice.

Impact of Change in Accounting Policy – ASC 606 Transition Disclosures
The following information and tables are provided to summarize the material impacts of adopting ASC 606 on our consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018.

As noted previously, additional service revenue and related inventory is now recognized in connection with the equity NGL volumes (a form of non-cash consideration) we receive under natural gas processing agreements.  When the inventory is sold through our NGL marketing activities, we reflect additional cost of sales amounts within our operating costs and expenses.

Unbilled revenues have historically been presented as a component of accounts receivable on our consolidated balance sheets.  Upon implementation of ASC 606, we reclassified these amounts to “Prepaid and other current assets” since these amounts represent conditional rights to consideration.  Once we have an unconditional right to consideration, the amount is transferred to accounts receivable.

Historically, amounts received from customers as CIACs related to pipeline construction activities and production well tie-ins have been netted against property, plant and equipment on our consolidated balance sheets and presented as a cash inflow within the investing activities section of our statements of consolidated cash flows. Upon implementation of ASC 606, these amounts are now recognized as a component of midstream service revenue on our statement of operations and are a component of cash provided by operating activities as presented on our statements of consolidated cash flows.

Note 10.  Business Segments and Related Information


Our operations are reported under four business segments: (i) NGL Pipelines & Services, (ii) Crude Oil Pipelines & Services, (iii) Natural Gas Pipelines & Services and (iv) Petrochemical & Refined Products Services.

Our business segments are generally organized and managed according to the types of services rendered (or technologies employed) and products produced and/or sold.  Financial information regarding these segments is evaluated regularly by our chief operating decision makers in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing operating and financial performance.


Segment Gross Operating Margin

We evaluate segment performance based on our financial measure of gross operating margin.  Gross operating margin is an important performance measure of the core profitability of our operations and forms the basis of our internal financial reporting.  We believe that investors benefit from having access to the same financial measures that our management uses in evaluating segment results.  Gross operating margin is exclusive of other income and expense transactions, income taxes, the cumulative effect of changes in accounting principles and extraordinary charges.  Gross operating margin is presented on a 100% basis before any allocation of earnings to noncontrolling interests.

Total segment gross operating margin $1,461.7  $1,379.4  $3,036.4  $2,852.7 
                 
(1)   Since make-up rights entail a future performance obligation by the pipeline to the shipper, these receipts are recorded as deferred revenue for GAAP purposes; however, these receipts are included in gross operating margin in the period of receipt since they are nonrefundable to the shipper.
(2)   As deferred revenues attributable to make-up rights are subsequently recognized as revenue under GAAP, gross operating margin must be adjusted to remove such amounts to prevent duplication since the associated non-refundable payments were previously included in gross operating margin.

Segment assets consist of property, plant and equipment, investments in unconsolidated affiliates, intangible assets and goodwill.  The carrying values of such amounts are assigned to each segment based on each asset’s or investment’s principal operations and contribution to the gross operating margin of that particular segment.  Since construction-in-progress amounts (a component of property, plant and equipment) generally do not contribute to segment gross operating margin, such amounts are excluded from segment asset totals until the underlying assets are placed in service.  Intangible assets and goodwill are assigned to each segment based on the classification of the assets to which they relate.  The remainder of our consolidated total assets, which consist primarily of working capital assets, are excluded from segment assets since these amounts are not attributable to one specific segment (e.g. cash).

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Fluctuations in our product sales revenues and related cost of sales amounts are explained in part by changes in energy commodity prices.  In general, higher energy commodity prices result in an increase in our revenues attributable to product sales; however, these higher commodity prices also increase the associated cost of sales as purchase costs rise.  The same correlation would be true in the case of lower energy commodity sales prices and purchase costs.


Note 11.   Business Combinations

On March 29, 2018, we acquired the remaining 50% member interest in our Delaware Processing joint venture for $150.6 million in cash, net of $3.9 million of cash held by the former joint venture.  As a result, Delaware Processing is now our wholly-owned consolidated subsidiary.  Delaware Processing owns a cryogenic natural gas processing facility having a capacity of 150 million cubic feet per day.  The facility is located in Reeves County, Texas and entered service in August 2016.  The acquired business serves growing production of NGL-rich natural gas from the Delaware Basin in West Texas and southern New Mexico.

The following table presents the final fair value allocation of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the acquisition at March 29, 2018.

Purchase price for remaining 50% equity interest in Delaware Processing $154.5 
Fair value of our 50% equity interest in Delaware Processing held before the acquisition  146.4 
   Total  300.9 
Recognized amounts of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed:    
   Assets acquired in business combination:    
  Current assets, including cash of $3.9 million $10.8 
  Property, plant and equipment  200.0 
  Contract-based intangible assets  82.6 
  Customer relationship intangible assets  9.9 
  Total assets acquired $303.3 
   Liabilities assumed in business combination:    
  Current liabilities $(1.8)
  Long-term liabilities  (0.6)
  Total liabilities assumed $(2.4)
Total identifiable net assets $300.9 
Goodwill $-- 

Prior to this acquisition, we accounted for our investment using the equity method.  On a historical pro forma basis, our revenues, costs and expenses, operating income, net income attributable to Enterprise Products Partners L.P. and earnings per unit amounts for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 would not have differed materially from those we actually reported had the acquisition been completed on January 1, 2017 rather than March 29, 2018.

At March 29, 2018, our 50% equity investment in Delaware Processing was $107.0 million.  Upon acquisition of the remaining 50% member interest, our existing equity investment was remeasured to fair value resulting in the recognition of a non-cash $39.4 million gain, which is presented within Other Income on our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations for the six months ended June 30, 2018.

The results for this business will continue to be reported under the NGL Pipelines & Services business segment.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


At June 30, 2018, all of the outstanding phantom unit awards were granted under the 2008 Plan.  The maximum number of common units authorized for issuance under the 2008 Plan was 45,000,000 at June 30, 2018.  This amount will automatically increase under the terms of the 2008 Plan by 5,000,000 common units on January 1, 2019 and will continue to automatically increase annually on each January 1 thereafter during the term of the 2008 Plan; provided, however, that in no event shall the maximum aggregate number exceed 70,000,000 common units.  After giving effect to awards granted under the 2008 Plan through June 30, 2018, a total of 18,864,940 additional common units were available for issuance under this plan.

EPCO serves as the general partner of four limited partnerships that were formed in 2016 (generally referred to as “Employee Partnerships”) to serve as incentive arrangements for key employees of EPCO by providing them a “profits interest” in an Employee Partnership.  The names of the Employee Partnerships are EPD PubCo Unit I L.P. (“PubCo I”), EPD PubCo Unit II L.P. (“PubCo II”), EPD PubCo Unit III L.P. (“PubCo III”) and EPD PrivCo Unit I L.P. (“PrivCo I”).


Phantom Unit Awards

Phantom unit awards allow recipients to acquire ourEPD common units (at no cost to the recipient apart from fulfilling service and other conditions) once a defined vesting period expires, subject to customary forfeiture provisions.  Phantom unit awards generally vest at a rate of 25% per year beginning one year after the grant date and are non-vested until the required service periods expire.

At June 30, 2018, substantially all of our phantom unit awards are expected to result in the issuance of common units upon vesting; therefore, the applicable awards are accounted for as equity-classified awards.  The grant date fair value of a phantom unit award is based on the market price per unit of our common units on the date of grant.  Compensation expense is recognized based on the grant date fair value, net of an allowance for estimated forfeitures, over the requisite service or vesting period.

The grant date fair value of each Employee Partnership is based on (i) the estimated value (as determined using a Black-Scholes option pricing model) of such Employee Partnership’s assets that would be distributed to the Class B limited partners thereof upon liquidation and (ii) the value, based on a discounted cash flow analysis,2019, our share of the residual quarterly cash amounts that such Class B limited partners are expectedtotal unrecognized compensation cost related to receive over the life of the Employee Partnership.

The following table summarizes the assumptions we used in applying a Black-Scholes option pricing model to derive that portion of the estimated grant date fair value of the profits interest awards for each Employee Partnership:

Note 14.13.  Derivative Instruments, Hedging Activities and Fair Value Measurements


In the normal course of our business operations, we are exposed to certain risks, including changes in interest rates and commodity prices.  In order to manage risks associated with assets, liabilities and certain anticipated future transactions, we use derivative instruments such as futures, forward contracts, swaps, options and other instruments with similar characteristics.  Substantially all of our derivatives are used for non-trading activities.

On January 1, 2018, we early adopted ASU 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815):  Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities.  Since the impact of the new guidance was not material to our consolidated financial statements, no transition adjustments were recorded. In accordance with ASU 2017-12 both the effective and ineffective portion of a cash flow hedge will be initially reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and reclassified into earnings when the forecasted transaction affects earnings.


Interest Rate Hedging Activities

We may utilize interest rate swaps, forward startingforward-starting swaps and similar derivative instruments to manage our exposure to changes in interest rates charged on borrowings under certain consolidated debt agreements.  This strategy may be used in controlling our overall cost of capital associated with such borrowings.


In May 2019, we entered into two 30-year forward-starting swaps in connection with the expected future issuance of senior notes.  The following table summarizes our portfolio of forward startingthese swaps at June 30, 2018:2019:

Future long-term debt offering1 forward-starting swap$75.04/20212.41%Cash flow hedge


As a result of market conditions in January 2018, we elected to terminate $100 million notional amount of the forward starting swaps that were outstanding at December 31, 2017, which resulted in cash proceeds totaling $1.5 million for the first quarter of 2018.

In January 2018, weWe sold swaptions related to our interest rate hedging activities that resulted in the recognition of $7.2$9.8 million of cash gains that were reflected as a reduction in interest expense for the first quarter of 2018.  Likewise, in April 2018, we sold swaptions related to our interest rate hedging activities that resulted in the recognition2019.

Commodity Hedging Activities

The prices of natural gas, NGLs, crude oil, petrochemicals and refined products are subject to fluctuations in response to changes in supply and demand, market conditions and a variety of additional factors that are beyond our control.  In order to manage such price risks, we enter into commodity derivative instruments such as physical forward contracts, futures contracts, fixed-for-float swaps and basis swaps.


At June 30, 2018,2019, our predominant commodity hedging strategies consisted of (i) hedging anticipated future purchases and sales of commodity products associated with transportation, storage and blending activities, (ii) hedging natural gas processing margins and (iii) hedging the fair value of commodity products held in inventory.

ENTERPRISE PRODUCTS PARTNERS L.P.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The objective of our anticipated future commodity purchases and sales hedging program is to hedge the margins of certain transportation, storage, blending and operational activities by locking in purchase and sale prices through the use of derivative instruments and related contracts.

The objective of our natural gas processing hedging program is to hedge an amount of earnings associated with these activities.  We achieve this objective by executing fixed-price sales for a portion of our expected equity NGL production using derivative instruments and related contracts.  For certain natural gas processing contracts, the hedging of expected equity NGL production also involves the purchase of natural gas for plant thermal reduction, which is hedged using derivative instruments and related contracts.

The objective of our inventory hedging program is to hedge the fair value of commodity products currently held in inventory by locking in the sales price of the inventory through the use of derivative instruments and related contracts.

The values for commodity derivatives are presented before and after the application of Rule 814 of the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (“CME”), Rule 814, which deems that financial instruments cleared by the CME are settled daily in connection with variation margin payments.  As a result of this exchange rule, CME-related derivatives are considered to have no fair value at the balance sheet date for financial reporting purposes; however, the derivatives remain outstanding and subject to future commodity price fluctuations until they are settled in accordance with their contractual terms.  Derivative transactions cleared on exchanges other than the CME (e.g., the Intercontinental Exchange or ICE) continue to be reported on a gross basis.

With respect to commodity derivatives, we believe forward commodity prices are the most significant unobservable inputs in determining our Level 3 recurring fair value measurements at June 30, 2018.2019.  In general, changes in the price of the underlying commodity increases or decreases the fair value of a commodity derivative depending on whether the derivative was purchased or sold.  We generally expect changes in the fair value of our derivative instruments to be offset by corresponding changes in the fair value of our hedged exposures.

Of the total number of units held by EPCO and its privately held affiliates, 108,222,618 have been pledged as security under the credit facilities of EPCO and its privately held affiliates at June 30, 2018.2019.  These credit facilities contain customary and other events of default, including defaults by us and other affiliates of EPCO.  An event of default, followed by a foreclosure on the pledged collateral, could ultimately result in a change in ownership of these units and affect the market price of ourEPD’s common units.


We and Enterprise GP are both separate legal entities apart from each other and apart from EPCO and its other affiliates, with assets and liabilities that are also separate from those of EPCO and its other affiliates.  EPCO and its privately held affiliates depend on the cash distributions they receive from us and other investments to fund their other activities and to meet their debt obligations.  During the six months ended June 30, 20182019 and 2017,2018, we paid EPCO and its privately held affiliates cash distributions totaling $576.3$593.7 million and $553.7$576.3 million, respectively.


From time-to-time, EPCO and its privately held affiliates elect to purchase additional common units under ourEPD’s DRIP and ATM program.  During the six months ended June 30, 2018,2019, privately held affiliates of EPCO reinvested $100$14 million through the DRIP.  See Note 8 for additional information regarding ourthe DRIP.

Note 16.15.  Commitments and Contingencies


Litigation

As part of our normal business activities, we may be named as defendants in legal proceedings, including those arising from regulatory and environmental matters.  Although we are insured against various risks to the extent we believe it is prudent, there is no assurance that the nature and amount of such insurance will be adequate, in every case, to fully indemnify us against losses arising from future legal proceedings.  We will vigorously defend the partnership in litigation matters.

Management has regular quarterly litigation reviews, including updates from legal counsel, to assess the possible need for accounting recognition and disclosure of these contingencies.  We accrue an undiscounted liability for those contingencies where the loss is probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated.  If a range of probable loss amounts can be reasonably estimated and no amount within the range is a better estimate than any other amount, then the minimum amount in the range is accrued.
39

ENTERPRISE PRODUCTS PARTNERS L.P.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

We do not record a contingent liability when the likelihood of loss is probable but the amount cannot be reasonably estimated or when the likelihood of loss is believed to be only reasonably possible or remote.  For contingencies where an unfavorable outcome is reasonably possible and the impact would be material to our consolidated financial statements, we disclose the nature of the contingency and, where feasible, an estimate of the possible loss or range of loss.  Based on a consideration of all relevant known facts and circumstances, we do not believe that the ultimate outcome of any currently pending litigation directed against us will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements either individually at the claim level or in the aggregate.


At June 30, 20182019 and December 31, 2017,2018, our accruals for litigation contingencies were $4.5$0.5 million and $0.5 million, respectively, and recorded in our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as a component of “Other current liabilities.”  Our evaluation of litigation contingencies is based on the facts and circumstances of each case and predicting the outcome of these matters involves uncertainties.  In the event the assumptions we use to evaluate these matters change in future periods or new information becomes available, we may be required to record additional accruals.  In an effort to mitigate expenses associated with litigation, we may settle legal proceedings out of court.


ETPEnergy Transfer Matter
In connection with a proposed pipeline project, we and ETP signed a non-binding letter of intent in April 2011 that disclaimed any partnership or joint venture related to such project absent executed definitive documents and board approvals of the respective companies.  Definitive agreements were never executed and board approval was never obtained for the potential pipeline project.  In August 2011, the proposed pipeline project was cancelled due to a lack of customer support.

ENTERPRISE PRODUCTS PARTNERS L.P.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


In September 2011, ETP filed suit against us and a third party in connection with the cancelled project alleging, among other things, that we and ETP had formed a “partnership.”  The case was tried in the District Court of Dallas County, Texas, 298th Judicial District.  While we firmly believe, and argued during our defense, that no agreement was ever executed forming a legal joint venture or partnership between the parties, the jury found that the actions of the two companies, nevertheless, constituted a legal partnership.  As a result, the jury found that ETP was wrongfully excluded from a subsequent pipeline project involving a third party, and awarded ETP $319.4 million in actual damages on March 4, 2014.  On July 29, 2014, the trial court entered judgment against us in an aggregate amount of $535.8 million, which included (i) $319.4 million as the amount of actual damages awarded by the jury, (ii) an additional $150.0 million in disgorgement for the alleged benefit we received due to a breach of fiduciary duties by us against ETP and (iii) prejudgment interest in the amount of $66.4 million.  The trial court also awarded post-judgment interest on such aggregate amount, to accrue at a rate of 5%, compounded annually.


We filed our Brief of the Appellant in the Court of Appeals for the Fifth District of Dallas, Texas on March 30, 2015 and ETP filed its Brief of Appellees on June 29, 2015.  We filed our Reply Brief of Appellant on September 18, 2015.  Oral argument was conducted on April 20, 2016, and the case was then submitted to the Court of Appeals for its consideration.  On July 18, 2017, a panel of the Dallas Court of Appeals issued a unanimous opinion reversing the trial court’s judgment as to all of ETP’s claims against us, rendering judgment that ETP take nothing on those claims, and affirming our counterclaim against ETP of approximately $0.8 million, plus interest.

On August 31, 2017, ETP filed a motion for rehearing before the Dallas Court of Appeals, which was denied on September 13, 2017.  On December 27, 2017, ETP filed its Petition for Review with the Supreme Court of Texas and we filed our Response to the Petition for Review on February 26, 2018.   On June 8, 2018, the Supreme Court of Texas requested that the parties file briefs on the merits, and the parties are draftingfiled their respective submittals.  AsOn June 28, 2019, the Supreme Court of June 30, 2018, weTexas requested oral argument, which has been scheduled for October 8, 2019.

We have not recorded a provision for this matter as management continues to believe that payment of damages by us in this case is not probable. We continue to monitor developments involving this matter.


PDH Litigation
In July 2013, we executed a contract with Foster Wheeler USA Corporation (“Foster Wheeler”) pursuant to which Foster Wheeler was to serve as the general contractor responsible for the engineering, procurement, construction and installation of our propane dehydrogenation (“PDH”) facility.  In November 2014, Foster Wheeler was acquired by an affiliate of AMEC plc to form Amec Foster Wheeler plc, and Foster Wheeler is now known as Amec Foster Wheeler USA Corporation (“AFW”).  In December 2015, Enterprise and AFW entered into a transition services agreement under which AFW was partially terminated from the PDH project.  In December 2015, Enterprise engaged a second contractor, Optimized Process Designs LLC (“OPD”), to complete the construction and installation of the PDH facility.

Operating lease expense represents less than 1% of “Operating costs and $52.1expenses” as presented on our consolidated statements of operations.  Fixed lease expense is charged to earnings on a straight-line basis over the contractual term, with any variable lease payments expensed as incurred.  Short-term lease expense is expensed as incurred.

We recognized $246.1 million respectively.  in ROU assets and lease liabilities for long-term operating leases at January 1, 2019 in connection with the adoption of ASC 842.  These amounts represented less than 1% of our total consolidated assets and liabilities, respectively, at the adoption date. On an undiscounted basis, our long-term operating lease obligations aggregated to $314.4 million at January 1, 2019.

Under ASC 842, lessors classify leases as either operating, direct financing or sales-type.  We do not have any significant operating or direct financing leases.  Our operating lease income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 was $2.4 million and $7.2 million, respectively, which represented less than 1% of our consolidated revenues.  We do not have any sales-type leases.

Our operating lease commitments at June 30, 20182019 did not differ materially from those reported in our 20172018 Form 10-K.

Purchase Obligations
During the first six months of 2018,ended June 30, 2019, we entered into additional long-term product purchase commitments for crude oilNGLs with third party suppliers in order to meet future physical delivery obligations on our various systems.suppliers.  On a combined basis, these new agreements increased our estimated long-term purchase obligations by approximately $1.2$3.6 billion, with $1.3 billion committed over the next five years and $1.7$2.3 billion overall.  Apart from these new agreements, there have been no other material changes inthereafter.  At June 30, 2019, our consolidatedestimated long-term purchase obligations sincetotaled $13.0 billion after reflecting the agreements added during the first six months of 2019 and those reported in commitments that expired during the year.  At December 31, 2018, our 2017 Form 10-K. estimated long-term purchase obligations totaled $10.8 billion.


Liquidity Option Agreement

We entered into a put option agreement (the “Liquidity Option Agreement” or “Liquidity Option”) with Oiltanking Holding Americas, Inc. (“OTA”) and Marquard & Bahls AG (“M&B”), a German corporation and the ultimate parent company of OTA, (“M&B”), in connection with the first step of the Oiltanking acquisition in 2014 (“Step 1”).  Under the Liquidity Option Agreement, we granted M&B the option to sell to us 100% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of OTA at any time within a 90-day period commencing on February 1, 2020.  If the Liquidity Option is exercised during this period, we would indirectly acquire any Enterprisethe EPD common units then owned by OTA, currently 54,807,352 units,  and assume all future income tax obligations of OTA associated with (i) owning partnershipcommon units encumbered by the entity-level taxes of a U.S. corporation and (ii) OTA’sany associated net deferred tax liabilities.  To the extent that the sum of OTA’staxes.  If we assume net deferred tax liabilities exceedsthat exceed the then current book value of the Liquidity Option liability at the exercise date, we wouldwill recognize expense for the difference.


The carrying value of the Liquidity Option Agreement, which is a component of “Other long-term liabilities” on our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet, was $350.3$474.4 million and $333.9$390.0 million at June 30, 20182019 and December 31, 2017,2018, respectively.  The fair value of the Liquidity Option, at any measurement date, represents the present value of estimated federal and state income tax payments that we believe a market participant would incur on the future taxable income of OTA. We expect that OTA’s taxable income would, in turn, be based on an allocation of our partnership’s taxable income to the common units then held by OTA and reflect anycertain tax planning strategies we believe could be employed. Our valuation estimate for the Liquidity Option at June 30, 2018 is based on several inputs that are not observable in the market (i.e., Level 3 inputs) such as the following:


OTA remains in existence (i.e., is not dissolved and its assets sold) between one and 30 years following exercise of the Liquidity Option, depending on the liquidity preference of its owner. An equal probability that OTA would be dissolved was assigned to each year in the 30-year forecast period;

Forecasted annual growth rates of Enterprise’s taxable earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ranging from 2.1% to 7.2%;

OTA’s ownership interest in Enterprise common units is assumed to be diluted over time in connection with Enterprise’s issuance of equity for general company reasons.  For purposes of the valuation at June 30, 2018, we used ownership interests ranging from 1.8% to 2.5%;

OTA pays an aggregate federal and state income tax rate of 24% on its taxable income; and

A discount rate of 8.0% based on our weighted-average cost of capital at June 30, 2018.

ENTERPRISE PRODUCTS PARTNERS L.P.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Furthermore, our valuation estimate incorporates probability-weighted scenarios reflecting the likelihood that M&B may elect to divest a portion of the Enterprise common units held by OTA prior to exercise of the option.  At June 30, 2018, based on these scenarios, we expect that OTA would own approximately 92% of the 54,807,352 Enterprise common units it received in Step 1 when the option period begins in February 2020.  If our valuation estimate assumed that OTA owned all of the Enterprise common units it received in Step 1 at the time of exercise (and all other inputs remained the same), the estimated fair value of the Liquidity Option liability at June 30, 2018 would have increased by $31.1 million.

Changes in the fair value of the Liquidity Option are recognized in earnings as a component of other income (expense) on our Unaudited Condensed Statements of Consolidated Operations.  Results for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 include $26.6 million and $8.9 million, respectively, of aggregate non-cash expense attributable to accretion and changes in management estimates regarding inputs to the valuation model.  For the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 this expense was $84.4 million and $16.4 million, respectively.  Expense recognized during the first six months of 2019 is primarily due to a decrease in the applicable midstream industry weighted-average cost of capital, which is used as the discount factor in determining the present value of the liability, since December 31, 2018.  The remainder of the inputs to the valuation model have not materially changed since those reported under Note 17 of the 2018 Form 10-K.

Overview of Business


We are a publicly traded Delaware limited partnership, the common units of which are listed on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) under the ticker symbol “EPD.”  We were formed in April 1998 to own and operate certain natural gas liquids (“NGLs”) related businesses of EPCO and are a leading North American provider of midstream energy services to producers and consumers of natural gas, NGLs, crude oil, petrochemicals and refined products. 


Our integrated midstream energy asset network links producers of natural gas, NGLs and crude oil from some of the largest supply basins in the U.S., Canada and the Gulf of Mexico with domestic consumers and international markets.  Our midstream energy operations currently include: natural gas gathering, treating, processing, transportation and storage; NGL transportation, fractionation, storage, and export and import terminals (including those used to export liquefied petroleum gases, or “LPG,” and ethane); crude oil gathering, transportation, storage, and export and import terminals; petrochemical and refined products transportation, storage, export and import terminals, and related services; and a marine transportation business that operates primarily on the U.S. inland and Intracoastal Waterway systems. Our assets currently include approximately 50,00049,200 miles of pipelines; 260 MMBbls of storage capacity for NGLs, crude oil, petrochemicals and refined products; and 14 Bcf of natural gas storage capacity.    


We conduct substantially all of our business through EPO and are owned 100% by ourEPD’s limited partners from an economic perspective.  Enterprise GP manages our partnership and owns a non-economic general partner interest in us.  We, Enterprise GP, EPCO and Dan Duncan LLC are affiliates under the collective common control of the DD LLC Trustees and the EPCO Trustees.  Like many publicly traded partnerships, we have no employees.  All of our management, administrative and operating functions are performed by employees of EPCO pursuant to an administrative services agreement (the “ASA”) or by other service providers.


Our operations are reported under four business segments:  (i) NGL Pipelines & Services, (ii) Crude Oil Pipelines & Services, (iii) Natural Gas Pipelines & Services, and (iv) Petrochemical & Refined Products Services.  Our business segments are generally organized and managed according to the types of services rendered (or technologies employed) and products produced and/or sold.


Each of our business segments benefits from the supporting role of our related marketing activities.  The main purpose of our marketing activities is to support the utilization and expansion of assets across our midstream energy asset network by increasing the volumes handled by such assets, which results in additional fee-based earnings for each business segment.  In performing these support roles, our marketing activities also seek to participate in supply and demand opportunities as a supplemental source of gross operating margin, a non-generally accepted accounting principle (“non-GAAP”) financial measure, for the partnership.  The financial results of our marketing efforts fluctuate due to changes in volumes handled and overall market conditions, which are influenced by current and forward market prices for the products bought and sold.


We provide investors access to additional information regarding our partnership, including information relating to our governance procedures and principles, through our website, www.enterpriseproducts.com.


Significant Recent Developments


Enterprise to DevelopAnnounces Final Investment Decision Regarding Gulf of Mexico Offshore Texas Crude Oil ExportTerminal;
   Signs Long-Term Agreement with Chevron to Support Development of Offshore Terminal

In July 2018, management2019, we announced long-term agreements with Chevron U.S.A. Inc. (“Chevron”) that we are insupport the planning stage to develop a crude oil export terminal located offshore along the Texas Gulf Coast.  The terminal would be capable of fully loading Very Large Crude Carrier (“VLCC”) marine tankers, which have capacities of approximately 2 MMBbls and provide the most efficient and cost-effective solution to export crude oil to the largest international markets in Asia and Europe.   We have started front-end engineering and design work for the terminal and preparing applications for regulatory permitting.   Based on initial designs, the project could include approximately 80 miles of 42-inch diameter pipeline extending from onshore facilities to an offshore terminal loading crude oil for export at approximately 85 thousand barrels per hour.   A final investment decision for the project will be subject to receiving state and federal permits and customer demand.

Seaway Commences Loading Services for VLCC Tankers
In June 2018, we commenced the loading of VLCC tankers using a combinationdevelopment of our jointly owned Seaway marine terminal located in Texas City, Texas and lightering operationsSea Port Oil Terminal (“SPOT”) in the Gulf of Mexico.  Approximately 1.1Construction of SPOT remains subject to obtaining the required approvals and licenses from the federal Maritime Administration, which is currently reviewing our SPOT application.  The long-term agreements with Chevron support our final investment decision in SPOT, subject to receiving the requisite governmental permits.

The SPOT project consists of onshore and offshore facilities, including a fixed platform located approximately 30 nautical miles off the Brazoria County, Texas coast in approximately 115 feet of water.  SPOT is designed to load Very Large Crude Carriers (“VLCCs”) at rates of approximately 85,000 barrels per hour. We believe that SPOT’s design meets or exceeds federal requirements for such facilities and, unlike existing and other proposed offshore terminals, is designed with a vapor control system to minimize emissions.  SPOT would provide customers with an integrated solution that leverages our extensive supply, storage and distribution network along the Gulf Coast, with access to approximately 6 MMBbls of crude oil were loaded onto the FPMC C Melody at the Texas City marine terminalsupply and the remaindermore than 300 MMBbls of thestorage.

We expect that U.S. crude oil shipment was loaded onexports will increase from approximately 3 MMBPD currently to more than 8 MMBPD by 2025, as production from domestic shale basins continues to increase.  SPOT would initially provide up to 2 MMBPD of this capacity and be essential to balancing the VLCC in a lightering zone in the Gulf of Mexico.  The FPMC C Melody, chartered by Vitol, Inc., was the first VLCC to be loaded at a Texas port.  The Seaway marine terminal features two docks, a 45-foot draft, an overall length of 1,125 feet, a 220-foot beam (width)market and the capacity to load crude oil at a rate of 35 thousand barrels per hour.meeting global demand for U.S. production.


Enterprise Announces Pipeline Transportation, Storage and Marine Services Agreements with Chevron

In July 2018,2019, we completed a second partial loadingannounced the execution of a VLCC tanker atlong-term agreements for crude oil transportation, storage and marine terminal services with Chevron.   These agreements, along with other customer agreements, support expansion of our crude oil pipeline system from the Seaway terminal. The Eagle Victoria loaded approximately 1.1 MMBbls at the terminal, with the balance completed using lightering vessels in the Gulf of Mexico.

Affiliate of Western Gas Acquires 20% Ownership Interest in Midland-to-ECHO Pipeline
In June 2018, pursuant to an option agreement, an affiliate of Western Gas Partners, LP (“Western”) acquired a noncontrolling 20% equity interest in our subsidiary, Whitethorn Pipeline Company LLC (“Whitethorn”), for approximately $189.6 million in cash.  Whitethorn owns the Midland-to-ECHO Pipeline, which originates at our Midland, Texas terminal and extends 416 miles to our Sealy, Texas facility. Volumes arriving at Sealy are then transportedPermian Basin to our ECHO terminal usingby approximately 450 MBPD. The agreements also provide for storage at our Rancho II pipeline,ECHO terminal, which ishas a componenttotal capacity of our South Texas Crude Oil Pipeline System. Once8.3 MMBbls and connects to all infrastructure is complete, the Midland-to-ECHO Pipeline will provide Permian Basin producers with the ability to transport multiple grades of crude oil, including West Texas Intermediate (“WTI”), Light WTI, West Texas Sour and condensate, to Gulf Coast markets. As a result of infrastructure completedrefiners in the second quarter of 2018 as well as operating enhancements, the pipeline’s transportation capacity is now approximately 575 MBPD.  We report the pipeline’s transportation volumes on a net basis that reflects our 80% interest.

Upon closing of the transaction whereby Western acquired its 20% equity interest in Whitethorn, we credited Western for 20% of the pipeline’s earnings since it wasHouston, Pasadena, Texas City and Beaumont/Port Arthur, Texas areas.  These expansion projects are expected to be placed into service during the third quarter of 2020.

Altus Acquires 33% Equity Interest in November 2017.  We paid Western $45.7 million in June 2018 to settle this obligation.  In addition to Western’s ownership interest in Whitethorn, Western also shares (at a 20% level) in the results of our commercial activities associated with the pipeline.Shin Oak NGL Pipeline from Enterprise

Apache Dedicates Alpine High NGLs to Enterprise
In May 2018, we granted Apache Corporation (“Apache”) executed a long-term supply agreement with us whereby Apache would sell all of its NGL production from the Alpine High discovery to us.  Alpine High is a major hydrocarbon resource located in the Delaware Basin that encompasses rich natural gas (i.e., gas that has a high NGL content), dry natural gas and oil-bearing horizons.  Apache holds approximately 336,000 net acres in the Alpine High discovery.  Enterprise has committed to purchase up to 205 MBPD of NGLs from Apache over the initial ten year term of the supply agreement, the term of which may be extended at the consent of the parties.



In conjunction with the long-term NGL supply agreement, we granted Apache an option to acquire up to a 33% equity interest in our subsidiary that owns the Shin Oak NGL Pipeline, which entered limited commercial service in February 2019.  In November 2018, Apache contributed the Shin Oak option to Altus Midstream Company (“Altus”), which is currently undermajority-owned by Apache.  In July 2019, Altus exercised the option and acquired a 33% equity interest in our subsidiary that owns the pipeline (effective July 31, 2019).  As a result, we received a $440.7 million cash payment from Altus, which will be reflected as a contribution from noncontrolling interests as presented on our Unaudited Condensed Statements of Consolidated Cash Flows for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019.

In February 2019, the 24-inch diameter mainline segment of the 658-mile Shin Oak NGL Pipeline from Orla, Texas to Mont Belvieu was placed into limited commercial service with an initial transportation capacity of 250 MBPD.  The related 20-inch diameter Waha lateral was completed during the second quarter of 2019.  Supported by long-term customer commitments, the Shin Oak NGL Pipeline will ultimately provide up to 550 MBPD of transportation capacity, which is expected to be available in the fourth quarter of 2019.


Enterprise Begins Service at Orla III; Update on Mentone Plant

In July 2019, we announced that the third processing train (“Orla III”) at our Orla cryogenic natural gas processing plant had commenced operations. Completion of Orla III increased our natural gas processing capacity at Orla to 900 MMcf/d and our equity NGL production rate in excess of 140 MBPD.  Overall, we now have the capability to process up to 1.3 Bcf/d of natural gas and produce approximately 200 MBPD of NGLs in the Delaware Basin.

In October 2018, we announced that construction of our Mentone cryogenic natural gas processing plant had commenced.  The Mentone plant, which is located in Loving County, Texas, is expected to have the capacity to process 300 MMcf/d of natural gas and extract more than 40 MBPD of NGLs.  The project is on schedule for completion in the first quarter of 2020 and is supported by a long-term acreage dedication agreement.  In addition, we are actively negotiating contracts with producers to underwrite additional capacity at Mentone. When the Mentone plant is completed and placed into service, we expect to have an aggregate 1.6 Bcf/d of natural gas processing capacity and approximately 250 MBPD of NGL production from our processing plants in the Delaware Basin.

Expansion Projects at Enterprise Hydrocarbons Terminal (“EHT”)

We estimate that exports of U.S. crude oil will increase from 3 MMBPD to 8 MMBPD and that LPG exports will double from 1.4 MMBPD to 2.8 MMBPD by 2025. Much of this growth is being driven by increasing production from the Permian Basin.  In response to these trends, we announced in July 2019 three new expansion projects at EHT, located on the Houston Ship Channel, that will increase our capacity to load LPG, polymer grade propylene (“PGP”) and crude oil at the terminal.

We are adding an eighth deep-water ship dock at EHT that is expected to increase our crude oil loading capacity by 840 MBPD, thereby increasing our overall nameplate crude oil loading capacity at EHT to 2.75 MMBPD, or nearly 83 MMBbls per month.  The new dock is designed to accommodate a Suezmax vessel, which is the largest ship class that can navigate the Houston Ship Channel, and is scheduled to be placed into service during the fourth quarter of 2020.

Our current nameplate loading capacity for LPG at EHT is approximately 660 MBPD, with an additional 175 MBPD of loading capacity expected to be placed into service during late third quarter of 2019. The expansion project announced in July 2019 is expected to increase our LPG loading capacity at EHT by an additional 260 MBPD and be placed into service during the third quarter of 2020.  When this latest expansion project is completed, EHT will have a nameplate LPG loading capacity of approximately 1.1 MMBPD, or 33 MMBbls per month.

Our current loading capacity at EHT for PGP is approximately 2,500 barrels per hour, or 60 MBPD, of semi-refrigerated product.  In response to record international demand for PGP, we will expand our export capabilities at EHT to accommodate an incremental 2,800 barrels per hour, or approximately 67 MBPD, of semi- or fully-refrigerated PGP.  With the addition of fully refrigerated volumes, this expansion project will enable EHT to co-load fully refrigerated PGP and LPG volumes onto the same vessel.  Our PGP export expansion project is expected to be placed into service during the secondfourth quarter of 2019.  The option is exercisable once the pipeline is placed into commercial service. The Shin Oak NGL2020.

Enterprise to Extend Ethylene Pipeline is designed to transport growing NGL production from the Permian Basin, which includes the Alpine High discovery, to our NGL fractionation and storage complex located in Mont Belvieu, Texas.  The Shin Oak NGL Pipeline is expected to have an initial design capacity of 550 MBPD.Network

Construction Begins on Ethylene Export Dock
In May 2018,2019, we announced plans to expand our ethylene pipeline and logistics system by constructing the Baymark ethylene pipeline in South Texas, which is a leading growth area for new ethylene crackers and related facilities.  The Baymark pipeline will originate in the Bayport, Texas area of southeast Harris County and extend approximately 90 miles to Markham, Texas in Matagorda County.  The pipeline is supported by long-term customer commitments and is scheduled to begin service in the fourth quarter of 2020.  We will be the majority owner and operator of the new pipeline.

The Baymark pipeline will feature access to a high-capacity ethylene storage well that construction ofis under development at our Mont Belvieu complex, along with connectivity to our ethylene export terminal locatedcurrently under construction at Morgan’s Point onPoint. The storage well is expected to be completed in the Houston Ship Channel had commenced.  Thethird quarter of 2019 and have a capacity of 600 million pounds of ethylene. Our ethylene export terminal at Morgan’s Point will have the capacity to export approximately 2.2 billion pounds of ethylene per year. Refrigerated storage for 66 million pounds of ethylene is being constructed on-siteyear and will provide the capability to load ethylene at rates of 2.2 million pounds per hour. The project, which is underwritten by long-term contracts with customers, is expected to be completedbegin service in the fourth quarter of 2019.

Enterprise and Energy Transfer form Joint Venture to RestoreBegins Full Service on Old OceanMidland-to-ECHO 2 Pipeline System

In May 2018, we announcedApril 2019, our Midland-to-ECHO 2 Pipeline System, which provides us with approximately 200 MBPD of incremental crude oil transportation capacity from the formation of a 50/50 joint venture with Energy Transfer Partners, L.P. (“Energy Transfer”)Permian Basin to resumemarkets in the Houston area, was placed into full service.   The pipeline had been in limited commercial service on the Old Ocean natural gas pipeline owned by Energy Transfer.since February 2019. The 24-inch diameter Old OceanMidland-to-ECHO 2 Pipeline System originates in Maypearl, Texas in Ellis Countyat our Midland terminal and extends south approximately 240440 miles to Sweeny, Texas in Brazoria County.  Energy Transfer serves as operator ofour Sealy storage terminal, with volumes arriving at Sealy transported to our ECHO terminal using the pipeline.

The Old Ocean Pipeline resumed limited service in the second quarter of 2018.  If fully reconstituted, the Old Ocean Pipeline is expected to provide natural gas transportation capacity of up to 160 MMcf/d by the end of 2018. In addition, both parties are expanding their jointly owned North Texas 36-inch diameterRancho II pipeline, which is a component of our South Texas Intrastate System, to provide additional natural gas takeaway capacity of 150 MMcf/d from West Texas, including deliveries into the Old Ocean Pipeline.  The North TexasCrude Oil Pipeline expansion project is expected to be complete by late fourth quarter of 2018.

The resumption of full service on the Old Ocean Pipeline and expansion of the North Texas Pipeline are expected to provide producers with additional takeaway capacity to accommodate growing natural gas production from the Delaware and Midland Basins.

Expansions of our Front Range and Texas Express Pipelines
In May 2018, we conducted open commitment periods to determine shipper interest in expansions of the Front Range Pipeline (“Front Range”) and Texas Express Pipeline (“Texas Express”).  Given the positive responses we received from shippers, we will proceed with the proposed expansions.   We own a 33.3% equity interest in Front Range and a 35.0% equity interest in Texas Express.   We operate both pipelines.

The expansions are designed to facilitate growing production of NGLs from domestic shale basins, including the Denver-Julesburg (“DJ”) Basin in Colorado, by providing DJ Basin producers with flow assurance and greater access to the Gulf Coast markets.  The expansions are expected to increase the transportation capacity of Front Range and Texas Express by 100 MBPD and 90 MBPD, respectively.  We anticipate the expansion projects will be placed into service during the third quarter of 2019.

Enterprise Begins Service at Orla Natural Gas Processing Plant in the Delaware Basin
In May 2018, we announced the start of commercial operations for the initial processing train (“Orla I”) at our new cryogenic natural gas processing facility located near Orla, Texas in Reeves County.  The Orla I plant has a nameplate natural gas processing capacity of 300 MMcf/d and is capable of extracting in excess of 40 MBPD of NGLs. We expect that the second and third processing trains at the facility (“Orla II” and “Orla III”) will be placed into service in the fourth quarter of 2018 and third quarter of 2019, respectively. Once Orla III is completed, the Orla facility is expected to have up to 1 Bcf/d of aggregate natural gas processing capacity and the ability to extract up to 150 MBPD of NGLs.System.  We own and operate the Orla facility.Midland-to-ECHO 2 Pipeline System.


We converted a portion of our Seminole NGL Pipeline system from NGL service to crude oil service to create the Midland-to-Sealy segment of the Midland-to-ECHO 2 Pipeline System. The conversion project was supported by a 10.75-year transportation contract with firm demand fees.  We have the ability to convert this pipeline back to NGL service should market and physical takeaway conditions warrant.

Enterprise Announces $2 Billion Unit Buyback Program

In conjunctionJanuary 2019, we announced that the Board of Enterprise GP had approved a $2.0 billion multi-year unit buyback program (the “2019 Buyback Program”), which provides EPD with an additional method to return capital to investors. The 2019 Buyback Program authorizes EPD to repurchase its common units from time to time, including through open market purchases and negotiated transactions.  The timing and pace of buy backs under the start-upprogram will be determined by a number of Orla I, we placed into service approximately 70 milesfactors including (i) our financial performance and flexibility, (ii) organic growth and acquisition opportunities with higher potential returns on investment, (iii) EPD’s unit price and implied cash flow yield and (iv) maintaining targeted financial leverage with a debt-to-normalized adjusted EBITDA, or earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, ratio in the 3.5 times area.  No time limit has been set for completion of natural gas pipelines that connect the Orla facilityprogram, and it may be suspended or discontinued at any time.

EPD repurchased 2,909,128 common units under the 2019 Buyback Program through open market purchases during the six months ended June 30, 2019.  The total purchase price of these repurchases was $81.1 million, excluding commissions and fees. The repurchased units were cancelled immediately upon acquisition.  At June 30, 2019, the remaining available capacity under the 2019 Buyback Program was $1.92 billion.

Enterprise Provides 2019 Distribution Guidance

In January 2019, management announced plans to recommend to the Board an increase of $0.0025 per unit per quarter in our Texas Intrastate System.   We also placed into service a 30-mile extensioncash distribution rate with respect to 2019. The anticipated rate of increase would result in distributions for 2019 of $1.7650 per unit, which would be 2.3% higher than those paid for 2018 of $1.7250 per unit.  The payment of any quarterly cash distribution is subject to Board approval and management’s evaluation of our NGL systemfinancial condition, results of operations and cash flows in connection with such payment.

On July 9, 2019, we announced that the Board declared a cash distribution of $0.4400 per common unit with respect to the second quarter of 2019.  This distribution will provide producers atbe paid on August 13, 2019 to unitholders of record as of the Orla facility with NGL takeaway capacity and direct access to our integrated networkclose of downstream NGL assets.business on July 31, 2019.


Enterprise Expands Marine Terminal on the Houston Ship Channel
In April 2018, we acquired 65-acres of waterfront property on the Houston Ship Channel for approximately $85.2 million, all of which was recorded as land.  The purchase price consisted of $55.2 million in cash with the remaining balance funded through 1,223,242 newly-issued Enterprise common units.  The land is located immediately to the east of our Enterprise Hydrocarbons Terminal (“EHT”) and is expected to facilitate future expansion projects at EHT.

In March 2018, we acquired the remaining 50% member interest in our Delaware Basin Gas Processing LLC (“Delaware Processing”) joint venture for $150.6 million in cash, net of $3.9 million of cash held by the former joint venture.  Delaware Processing owns a cryogenic natural gas processing facility (our “Waha” gas plant) having a capacity of 150 MMcf/d.  The Waha plant is located in Reeves County, Texas and entered service in August 2016. The acquired business serves growing production of NGL-rich natural gas from the Delaware Basin in West Texas and southern New Mexico. For information regarding this acquisition, see Note 11 of the Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included under Part I, Item 1 of this quarterly report.

Enterprise to Expand Butane Isomerization Facility
In January 2018, we announced plans to expand our butane isomerization facility by up to 30 MBPD of incremental capacity.   This expansion is supported by new long-term agreements, including a 20-year, 35 MBPD fee-based, tolling arrangement, to provide butane isomerization, storage and pipeline services.

(4)The “Indicative Gas Processing Spread” represents a generic estimate of the gross economic benefit from extracting NGLs from natural gas production based on certain pricing assumptions.  Specifically, it is the amount by which the assumed economic value of a composite gallon of NGLs at Mont Belvieu, Texas exceeds the value of the equivalent amount of energy in natural gas at Henry Hub, Louisiana (as presented in the table above). The indicative spread does not consider the operating costs incurred by a natural gas processing plant to extract the NGLs nor the transportation and fractionation costs to deliver the NGLs to market.   In addition, the actual gas processing spread earned at each plant is determined by regional pricing and extraction dynamics.   As presented in the table above, the indicative spread assumes that a gallon of NGLs is comprised of 47% ethane, 28% propane, 9% normal butane, 6% isobutane and 10% natural gasoline.  The value of an equivalent amount of energy in natural gas to one gallon of NGLs is assumed to be 8.4% of the price of a MMBtu of natural gas at Henry Hub.

Fluctuations in our consolidated revenues and cost of sales amounts are explained in large part by changes in energy commodity prices.  Energy commodity prices, which fluctuate for a variety of reasons including supply and demand imbalances and geopolitical tensions.  The weighted-average indicative market price for NGLs was $0.83$0.47 per gallon in the second quarter of 20182019 versus $0.60$0.69 per gallon during the second quarter of 2017.2018.  Likewise, the weighted-average indicative market price for NGLs was $0.80$0.52 per gallon during the six months ended June 30, 20182019 compared to $0.63$0.67 per gallon during the same period in 2017.2018.


An increase in our consolidated marketing revenues due to higher energy commodity sales prices may not result in an increase in gross operating margin or cash available for distribution, since our consolidated cost of sales amounts would also be higher due to comparable increases in the purchase prices of the underlying energy commodities.  The same correlation would be true in the case of lower energy commodity sales prices and purchase costs.


We attempt to mitigate commodity price exposure through our hedging activities and the use of fee-based arrangements.  See Note 1413 of the Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included under Part I, Item 1 of this quarterly report for information regarding our commodity hedging activities.

Business Segment Highlights

The following information highlights significant changes in our quarter-to-quarter and period-to-period segment results (i.e., our gross operating margin by segment amounts) and the primary drivers of such changes. The volume statistics presented for each segment are reported on a net basis, taking into account our ownership interests, and reflect the periods in which we owned an interest in such operations.

Total Gross Operating Margin
We evaluate segment performance based on our financial measure of gross operating margin.  Gross operating margin is an important performance measure of the core profitability of our operations and forms the basis of our internal financial reporting.  We believe that investors benefit from having access to the same financial measures that our management uses in evaluating segment results.

Each of our business segments benefits from the supporting role of our marketing activities.  The main purpose of our marketing activities is to support the utilization and expansion of assets across our midstream energy asset network by increasing the volumes handled by such assets, which results in additional fee-based earnings for each business segment.  In performing these support roles, our marketing activities also seek to participate in supply and demand opportunities as a supplemental source of gross operating margin for the partnership.  The financial results of our marketing efforts fluctuate due to changes in volumes handled and overall market conditions, which are influenced by current and forward market prices for the products bought and sold.
In March 2019, a fire occurred at a tank farm owned by a third party, Intercontinental Terminals Company (“ITC”), that is located on the Houston Ship Channel. The resulting fire lasted for several days and the channel was temporarily closed to regular ship and barge traffic for more than one week due to fire-related contamination of the waterway.  Once the issues were mitigated, traffic on the Houston Ship Channel returned to normal levels in early April 2019. The Houston Ship Channel also experienced several periods of delays and restrictions due to fog in the first quarter of 2019. We estimate that gross operating margin for the first quarter of 2019 was reduced by approximately $40 million related to the impact of these events; however, substantially all of this gross operating margin was recovered in the second quarter of 2019 as delayed ships and barges were rescheduled.

Midland-to-ECHO Pipeline and related marketing activitiesSecond Quarter of 2019 Compared to Second Quarter of 2018.  Gross operating margin from our Crude Oil Pipelines & Services segment for the second quarter of 2019 increased $460.4 million when compared to the second quarter of 2018.

Gross operating margin from our Midland-to-ECHO 1 Pipeline System and related marketingbusiness activities wasincreased $345.6 million quarter-to-quarter primarily due to changes in non-cash mark-to-market earnings, which were a combined$14.0 million benefit in the second quarter of 2019 compared to a $309.9 million loss in the second quarter of $211.4 million2018. Gross operating margin for the second quarter of 2018 was also reduced by $9.8 million in connection with the expected allocation of pipeline earnings to Western upon closing of their acquisition of a 20% ownership interest in Whitethorn Pipeline Company LLC (“Whitethorn”), which owns a majority of the Midland-to-ECHO 1 Pipeline System. Western acquired its interest in Whitethorn in June 2018.  Likewise, we recorded a $276.0 million combined loss from this business with respect to the six months ended June 30, 2018.  Transportation volumes for the Midland-to-ECHO 1 Pipeline which entered limited commercial service in November 2017 and full service in April 2018, averaged 436 System increased 47 MBPD and 417 MBPD during the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, respectivelyquarter-to-quarter (net to our interest).



Gross operating margin for this business forMark-to-market earnings attributable to the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 includes non-cash mark-to-market losses of $309.9 million and $423.9 million, respectively,Midland-to-ECHO 1 Pipeline System are associated with the hedging of crude oil commoditymarket price differentials (basis spreads) between the Midland and Houston area markets.  These hedges, which were entered into throughout 2017, served to lock in an average $2.62a positive per barrel positive margin on our anticipated purchases of crude oil at Midland and subsequent anticipated sales to customers in the Houston area for periods extending predominantly into 2019 and minimally in 2020.  The mark-to-market losses recognized during the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 were due to the widening of the basis spreads between Midland and Houston to an average of $14.83 per barrel through 2020 (as of June 30, 2018).

Basis swaps, in all but very limited circumstances, do not qualify for cash flow hedge accounting despite being highly effective at hedging the price risk inherent in the underlying physical transactions.  The volume hedged throughout the remainder of 2018 through 2020 varies from quarter-to-quarter and year-to-year,year-to-year; however, the hedge levels generally correspond to pipeline capacity currently expected to be available to us duringon the first three years of the pipeline’s operationsMidland-to-ECHO 1 Pipeline System as customer commitment volumes ramp up to peak levels.

If  The mark-to-market loss for the second quarter of 2018 reflected an increase in the basis spreads underlyingspread between the Midland and Houston markets since March 31, 2018 to an average of $14.83 per barrel through 2020 relative to our average hedged amount of $2.62 per barrel across these hedges widen further, we would be exposed to additional temporary non-cashsame periods (as of June 30, 2018). The mark-to-market losses.  Conversely, if basis spreads narrowgain for the second quarter of 2019 reflects a decrease in the future reverting back towards or belowbasis spread between the Midland and Houston markets since March 31, 2019 to an average $2.62 of $3.57 per barrel spread we originally locked in, then we would recognize temporary non-cash mark-to-market gains in future periods.  through 2020 relative to our average hedged amount of $2.73 per barrel across these same periods (as of June 30, 2019).

When the forecasted physical receipts and deliveries of crude oil ultimately occur in the future, we will realize a physical gross margin at then prevailingthen-prevailing commodity price spreads; however the realized settlement of the associated financial hedges shouldwould convert that physical margin to the average $2.62 $2.73 per barrel spread of the financial hedges.  At that time, the unrealized mark-to-market losses recognized in the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 and in future periods until the physical deliveries occur will be reversed, thus eliminating their impact to cumulative earnings recognized over the entire life-to-date period of the hedge.

The basis spread between the Midland and Houston markets continues to fluctuate.  We also have uncommitted capacity on the pipeline that could provide us with potential upside to widening or downside to narrowing market spreads.  For information regarding the impact of these spreads on our crude oil marketing hedging portfolio, see Item 3, Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk, within this Part I, Item 2.  For general information regarding our derivative instruments andcommodity hedging activities, see Note 1413 of the Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included under Part I, Item 1 of this quarterly report.

EPD issued and delivered a combined 2,897,990 common units in the six months ended June 30, 2019 in connection with its distribution reinvestment plan (“DRIP”) and employee unit purchase plan (“EUPP”).  In total, the net cash proceeds EPD received from these issuances was $82.2 million.

In July 2019, EPD announced that, beginning with the quarterly distribution payment to be made in August 2019, it has elected to use common units purchased on the open market, rather than issuing new common units, to satisfy its delivery obligations under the DRIP and EUPP.  This election is subject to change in future quarters depending on the partnership’s need for equity capital.

For additional information regarding EPD’s issuance of common units under the DRIP and EUPP registration statements, see Note 8 of the Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included under Part I, Item 1 of this quarterly report.

§a $496.2 million period-to-period decrease in net cash proceeds from the issuance of common units.  We issued an aggregate 9,877,090 common units, which generated $261.0 million of net cash proceeds, in connection with our DRIP and EUPP during the six months ended June 30, 2018.  This compares to an aggregate 27,892,687 common units we issued in connection with our ATM, DRIP and EUPP during the six months ended June 30, 2017, which collectively generated $757.2 million of net cash proceeds; and

§an $89.5 million period-to-period increase in cash distributions paid to limited partners during the six months ended June 30, 2018 when compared to the six months ended June 30, 2017.  The increase in cash distributions isprimarily due to increasesan increase in both the number of distribution-bearing common units outstanding and the quarterly cash distribution ratesrate per unit.



Non-GAAP Cash Flow Measures

Distributable Cash Distributions to Limited Partners

Flow
Our partnership agreement requires us to make quarterly distributions to our unitholders of all available cash, after any cash reserves established by Enterprise GP in its sole discretion.  Cash reserves include those for the proper conduct of our business, including for example, those for capital expenditures, debt service, working capital, operating expenses, common unit repurchases, commitments and contingencies and other significant amounts.  The retention of cash by the partnership allows us to reinvest in our growth and reduce our future reliance on the equity and debt capital markets.  


We measure available cash by reference to “distributabledistributable cash flow (“DCF”), which is a non-GAAP liquiditycash flow measure.  Distributable cash flowDCF is an important non-GAAP financial measure for our limited partners since it serves as an indicator of our success in providing a cash return on investment.  Specifically, this financial measure indicates to investors whether or not we are generating cash flows at a level that can sustain or support an increase in our declared quarterly cash distributions.  Distributable cash flowDCF is also a quantitative standard used by the investment community with respect to publicly traded partnerships becausesince the value
of a partnership unit is, in part, measured by its yield, which is based on the amount of cash distributions a partnership can pay to a unitholder.  Our management compares the distributable cash flowDCF we generate to the cash distributions we expect to pay our partners.  Using this metric, management computes our distribution coverage ratio.  Our calculation of DCF may or may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.


Based on the level of available cash each quarter, management proposes a quarterly cash distribution rate to the Board of Enterprise GP, which has sole authority in approving such matters.  Unlike several other master limited partnerships, our general partner has a non-economic ownership interest in us and is not entitled to receive any cash distributions from us based on incentive distribution rights or other equity interests.


Our use of distributable cash flowDCF for the limited purposes described above and in this report is not a substitute for net cash flows provided by operating activities, which is the most comparable GAAP measure. For a discussion of net cash flows provided by operating activities, see the previous section titled “Cash Flows from Operating, Investing and Financing Activities” within this Part I, Item 2.

Free Cash Flow
Free Cash Flow (“FCF”), a non-GAAP financial measure, is a traditional cash flow metric that is widely used by a variety of investors and other participants in the financial community, as opposed to DCF, which is a cash flow measure primarily used by investors and others in evaluating master limited partnerships. In general, FCF is a measure of how much cash flow a business generates during a specified time period after accounting for all capital investments, including expenditures for growth and sustaining capital projects. By comparison, only sustaining capital expenditures are reflected in DCF.

We believe that FCF is important to traditional investors since it reflects the amount of cash available for reducing debt, investing in additional capital projects, paying distributions, common unit repurchases and similar matters.  Since business partners fund certain capital projects of our consolidated subsidiaries, our determination of FCF reflects the amount of cash we receive from noncontrolling interests, net of any distributions paid to such interests.  Our calculation of FCF may or may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.

Our use of FCF for the limited purposes described above and in this report is not a substitute for net cash flows provided by operating activities, which is the most comparable GAAP measure.

FCF fluctuates based on our earnings, the level of investing activities we undertake each period, and the timing of operating cash receipts and payments.  In addition to providing the quarterly amounts presented below, we also provide a calculation of aggregate FCF over the twelve months ended June 30, 2019 in order to measure FCF over a longer term.

Capital SpendingInvestments


We currently have approximately $5.2$6 billion of growth capital projects scheduled to be completed by the end of 2019.  These projects include the:2020 including:


§completion of joint venture-owned dock infrastructure in Corpus Christi designed to accommodate crude oil volumes
expansion of our Front Range and Texas Express NGL pipelines (third quarter of 2018);

§completion of the Shin Oak NGL Pipeline (second quarter of 2019);

§expansions of our Front Range and Texas Express NGL pipelines (second and fourth quarters of 2019, respectively);

§completion of our isobutane dehydrogenation (“iBDH”) unit (fourth quarter of 2019); and,

§completion of our ethylene export terminal (fourth quarter of 2019).

Our PDH facility completed its commissioning (or start up) phase and was placed into full commercial service in the second quarter of 2018.  In addition, 2019),

increase in LPG loading capacity at EHT (third quarter of 2019 and third quarter of 2020),

our iBDH facility (fourth quarter of 2019),

the first processing train at Shin Oak NGL pipeline (full service expected in fourth quarter of 2019),

our Orlaethylene export terminal (fourth quarter of 2019 through the fourth quarter of 2020),

our Mentone cryogenic natural gas processing facility entered serviceplant (first quarter of 2020),

expansion projects involving our crude oil system between the Permian Basin and our ECHO terminal (third quarter of 2020),

two new NGL fractionators in May 2018.Chambers County, Texas (“Frac X” in the fourth quarter of 2019 and “Frac XI” in the first half of 2020), and


expansion of our PGP export capabilities and an eighth deep-water ship dock at EHT for loading crude oil (both projects scheduled for fourth quarter of 2020).

Based on information currently available, we expect our total capital investments for 2019 to approximate $4.4 billion, which reflects growth capital spending for 2018 to approximate $3.8 billion toexpenditures of $4.0 billion which includes the $150.6and $350 million we spent to acquire the remaining 50% equity interest in Delaware Processing.  We expect ourfor sustaining capital expenditures for 2018 to approximate $315 million, of which $140.4 million was spent in the six months ended June 30, 2018.expenditures.


Our forecast of capital spendinginvestments for 20182019 is based on our announced strategic operating and growth plans (through the filing date of this quarterly report), which are dependent upon our ability to generate the required funds from either operating cash flows or other means, including borrowings under debt agreements, the issuance of additional equity and debt securities, and potential divestitures.  We may revise our forecast of capital spendinginvestments due to factors beyond our control, such as adverse economic conditions, weather relatedweather-related issues and changes in supplier prices.  Furthermore, our forecast of capital spendinginvestments may change as a result ofdue to decisions made by management at a later date, which may include unforeseen acquisition opportunities.


Our success in raising capital, including the formation of joint venturespartnering with other companies to share project costs and risks, continues to be a significant factor in determining how much capital we can invest.  We believe our access to capital resources is sufficient to meet the demands of our current and future growth needs and, although we expect to make the forecast capital expendituresinvestments noted above, we may adjust the timing and amounts of projected expenditures in response to changes in capital market conditions.

Fluctuations in our spending forinvestments in growth capital projects and investments in unconsolidated affiliates are explained in large part by increases or decreases in spending onexpenditures for major expansion projects.  Our most significant growth capital expendituresinvestments for the six months ended June 30, 2018 involved2019 involve projects at our Mont Belvieu complex as well as projects to support crude oil, natural gas and NGL production from the Permian Basin, export activities atexpand our Gulf Coast terminal and spending on our iBDH unit.export terminals.  Fluctuations in spending forinvestments in sustaining capital projects are explained in large part by the timing and cost of pipeline integrity and similar projects.


Comparison of Six Months Ended June 30, 20182019 with Six Months Ended June 30, 20172018
Total
Investments in growth capital spendingprojects at our Mont Belvieu complex increased $788.1$256.4 million period-to-period primarily due to construction activities surrounding Frac X and Frac XI, which accounted for a $275.4 million increase, our second iBDH unit, which accounted for an $89.4 million increase, and our DIB expansion, which accounted for an additional $48.3 million increase, partially offset by lower expenditures attributable to our PDH facility and ninth Mont Belvieu-area NGL fractionator (“Frac IX”), which accounted for a combined $161.5 million decrease.  Our PDH facility and Frac IX were placed into service during the second quarter of 2018.

Investments in ethylene-related pipelines, storage facilities and export assets increased $153.1 million period-to-period.

Our growth capital investments in support of Permian Basin production decreased $43.3 million period-to-period primarily due to lower expenditures at our Orla natural gas processing facility, which accounted for a $181.9 million decrease, and on our Midland-to-ECHO 1 Pipeline System, which accounted for an additional $93.2 million decrease, partially offset by increased expenditures at our Mentone cryogenic natural gas processing plant, which accounted for a $168.9 million increase, and for the conversion of a portion of our Seminole NGL Pipeline system to crude oil service (i.e., the Midland-to-ECHO 2 Pipeline System), which accounted for an additional $72.8 million increase.  The third processing train at our Orla natural gas processing facility was placed into service in July 2019.

§Growth capital spending for projects to support Permian Basin production increased $488.8 million period-to-period.  We are in various stages of completion on multiple projects to support crude oil, natural gas and NGL production in the Permian Basin, including our Orla natural gas processing facility and related pipelines and the Shin Oak NGL Pipeline.
§Growth capital spending for projects to expand and support export activities at EHT increased $230.3 million period-to-period.  This amount includes $55.2 million of cash paid in April 2018 to acquire a 65-acre waterfront site located on the Houston Ship Channel that will serve as the next phase of expansion at EHT.

§Growth capital spending on our iBDH unit increased $177.0 million period-to-period.
§Growth capital spending to expand refined products capabilities at our Beaumont terminal increased $36.0 million period-to-period.  These projects are expected to be completed in phases through the first quarter of 2019.
§Growth capital spending at our Mont Belvieu complex for our PDH facility and ninth NGL fractionator decreased $165.0 million period-to-period.
§Net cash used for business combinations decreased $41.7 million period-to-period.  During the six months ended June 30, 2018, we used $150.6 million to acquire the remaining 50% equity interest in Delaware Processing.  For the same period in 2017, we used $191.4 million to acquire the BTA Gathering System and related assets.

Pipeline Integrity Program

Our pipelines operate under safety regulations administered by the U.S. Department of Transportation (“DOT”) that require pipeline integrity management programs for hazardous liquid and natural gas pipelines.  In general, these regulations require companies to assess the condition of their pipelines in certain high consequence areas (as defined by the regulation) and to perform any necessary repairs.

The following table summarizes our pipeline integrity costs, including those attributable to DOT regulations, for the periods presented (dollars in millions):

ItemITEM 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES

ABOUT MARKET RISK.

General


In the normal course of our business operations, we are exposed to certain risks, including changes in interest rates and commodity prices.  In order to manage risks associated with assets, liabilities and certain anticipated future transactions, we use derivative instruments such as futures, forward contracts, swaps and other instruments with similar characteristics.  Substantially all of our derivatives are used for non-trading activities.


We assess the risk associated with each of our derivative instrument portfolios using a sensitivity analysis model.  This approach measures the change in fair value of the derivative instrument portfolio based on a hypothetical 10% change in the underlying interest rates or quoted market prices on a particular day.  In addition to these variables, the fair value of each portfolio is influenced by changes in the notional amounts of the instruments outstanding and the discount rates used to determine the present values.  The sensitivity analysis approach does not reflect the impact that the same hypothetical price movement would have on the hedged exposures to which they relate.  Therefore, the impact on the fair value of a derivative instrument resulting from a change in interest rates or quoted market prices (as applicable) would normally be offset by a corresponding gain or loss on the hedged debt instrument, inventory value or forecasted transaction assuming:


§the derivative instrument functions effectively as a hedge of the underlying risk;
the derivative instrument functions effectively as a hedge of the underlying risk;


§the derivative instrument is not closed out in advance of its expected term; and
the derivative instrument is not closed out in advance of its expected term; and


§the hedged forecasted transaction occurs within the expected time period.
the hedged forecasted transaction occurs within the expected time period.


We routinely review the effectiveness of our derivative instrument portfolios in light of current market conditions.  Accordingly, the nature and volume of our derivative instruments may change depending on the specific exposure being managed.


See Note 1413 of the Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included under Part I, Item 1 of this quarterly report for additional information regarding our derivative instruments and hedging activities.



Commodity Hedging Activities


The prices of natural gas, NGLs, crude oil, petrochemicals and refined products are subject to fluctuations in response to changes in supply and demand, market conditions and a variety of additional factors that are beyond our control.  In order to manage such price risks, we enter into commodity derivative instruments such as physical forward contracts, futures contracts, fixed-for-float swaps, basis swaps and option contracts.

At June 30, 2018,2019, our predominant commodity hedging strategies consisted of (i) hedging anticipated future purchases and sales of commodity products associated with transportation, storage and blending activities, (ii) hedging natural gas processing margins and (iii) hedging the fair value of commodity products held in inventory.  

§The objective of our anticipated future commodity purchases and sales hedging program is to hedge the margins of certain transportation, storage, blending and operational activities by locking in purchase and sale prices through the use of derivative instruments and related contracts.

§The objective of our natural gas processing hedging program is to hedge an amount of earnings associated with these activities.  We achieve this objective by executing fixed-price sales for a portion of our expected equity NGL production using derivative instruments and related contracts.  For certain natural gas processing contracts, the hedging of expected equity NGL production also involves the purchase of natural gas for shrinkage, which is hedged using derivative instruments and related contracts.



§The objective of our inventory hedging program is to hedge the fair value of commodity products currently held in inventory by locking in the sales price of the inventory through the use of derivative instruments and related contracts.

The fair value information presented in the sensitivity analysis tables excludes the impact of applying Chicago Mercantile Exchange (“CME”) Rule 814, which deems that financial instruments cleared by the CME are settled daily in connection with variation margin payments.  As a result of this exchange rule, CME-related derivatives are considered to have no fair value at the balance sheet date for financial reporting purposes; however, the derivatives remain outstanding and subject to future commodity price fluctuations until they are settled in accordance with their contractual terms. Derivative transactions cleared on exchanges other than the CME (e.g., the Intercontinental Exchange or ICE) continue to be reported on a gross basis.

The derivative liability for our crude oil marketing hedges increased from $65.5 million at December 31, 2017 to $521.6 million atdecreased since June 30, 2018, which resulted in a $456.1 million decrease in the fair value of the crude oil marketing portfolio for the six months ended June 30, 2018. The derivative liability for the portfolio improved to $477.5 million at July 16, 20182019 primarily due to the expiration of basis swap instruments since June 30, 2018.  As noted in our discussion of results for the Crude Oil Pipelines & Services segment (Midland-to-ECHO Pipeline and related commercial activities), we entered into hedges of thehigher crude oil commodity price differentials between the Midland and Houston markets and the Midland and Cushing markets.  The mark-to-market losses we recognized during the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 were primarily due to the widening of the basis spreads between the Midland and Houston and Cushing markets.prices.


Assuming no changes subsequent to June 30, 2018 in the variables underlying the portfolio’s fair value, the derivative liability of $521.6 million at June 30, 2018 would be reversed upon cash settlement of the hedges, which would create unrealized mark-to-market gains and other comprehensive income as follows in the periods indicated (dollars in millions):

Third quarter of 2018 $158.8 
Fourth quarter of 2018  198.5 
Calendar year 2019  142.6 
Calendar year 2020  6.2 
Total mark-to-market gains $506.1 
Total other comprehensive income  15.5 
Total comprehensive income $521.6 



As the non-cash mark-to-market gains attributable to the financial hedges are recognized in earnings, the corresponding actual losses on the financial hedges and related gains on the physical transactions will be simultaneously realized.

At June 30, 2018, approximately 50% of the Midland-to-ECHO Pipeline’s uncommitted capacity available to us through 2020 was not hedged, thus providing us with potential upside to widening or downside to narrowing market spreads.   The value of this unhedged capacity was approximately $363.8 million assuming that we hedged all such capacity at the prevailing crude oil commodity price differentials between Midland and Houston as of June 30, 2018.

The posting of additional cash may be required to maintain our commodity derivative instruments portfolio as prices fluctuate or margin requirements change.  Our restricted cash balance increased from $283.6 million at June 30, 2018 to $316.0 million at July 16, 2018.  In addition, we posted $238.3 million of cash and $85.0 million under stand-by letters of credit in connection with margin requirements on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange through July 16, 2018. The increase in restricted cash and other cash postings since June 30, 2018 is primarily due to changes in the initial margin requirements and fair value of our crude oil marketing transportation hedges.


Interest Rate Hedging Activities


We may utilize interest rate swaps, forward startingforward-starting swaps and similar derivative instruments to manage our exposure to changes in interest rates charged on borrowings under certain consolidated debt agreements.  This strategy may be used in controlling our overall cost of capital associated with such borrowings.  The composition of our derivative instrument portfolios may change depending on our hedging requirements.


Sensitivity Analysis

With respect to the tabular data below, the portfolio’s estimated economic value at a given date is based on a number of factors, including the number and types of derivatives outstanding at that date, the notional value of the swaps and
associated interest rates.
