Basis of Presentation

Our condensedunaudited consolidated financial statements include all subsidiaries required to be consolidated under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”). Our reporting currency is U.S. dollars, and all references to


dollars are U.S. dollars. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes have been prepared in accordance with GAAP for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete annual financial statements. The year-end condensed consolidated balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements. During interim periods, we follow the accounting policies disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20162021 (our “2016“2021 Annual Report”), filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). unless otherwise described herein. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2022 and 2016March 31, 2021 include all adjustments we believe are necessary for a fair statement of the results of operations for the interim periods presented. These adjustments are of a normal recurring nature unless otherwise disclosed. Operating results for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and other information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our 20162021 Annual Report.


The acquisitionOur consolidated subsidiaries include Pecten, Sand Dollar, Triton, Zydeco, Odyssey and the Operating Company. Asset acquisitions of Delta, Na Kikaadditional interests in previously consolidated subsidiaries and Refinery Gas Pipeline (the “Shell Delta, Na Kikainterests in equity method and Refinery Gas Pipeline Operations” or “Delta, Na Kika and Refinery Gas Pipeline”) was a transfer of businesses between entities under common control, which requires it to be accounted for as ifother investments are included in the transfer had occurred at the beginning of the period of transfer, with prior periods retrospectively adjusted to furnish comparative financial information. Accordingly, the accompanying financial statements and notes have been retrospectively adjusted to include the historical results and financial position of the Shell Delta, Na Kika and Refinery Gas Pipeline Operations prior toprospectively from the effective date of each acquisition. In cases where these types of acquisitions are considered acquisitions of businesses under common control, the acquisition.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The accounting policies are set forth in Note 2—2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of our 20162021 Annual Report. There have been no significant changes to these policies during the nine months ended September 30, 2017, other than those noted below.

Revenue Recognition

Certain transportation services agreements with a related party are considered operating leases under GAAP. Revenues from these agreements are recorded within Lease revenue - related parties in the condensed consolidated statements of income. See Note 3-Related Party Transactions for additional information.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In October 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2016-17 to Topic 810, Consolidation, making changes on how a reporting entity should treat indirect interests in an entity held through related parties that are under common control with the reporting entity when determining whether it is the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity. The update was effective for us as of January 1, 2017. The adoption of this update did not have a material impact on our financial statements.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-07 to Topic 323, Investments - Equity Method and Joint Ventures, to eliminate the need for an entity to retroactively adopt the equity method of accounting when an investment becomes qualified for the use of the equity method of accounting due to an increase in level of ownership or degree of influence. The update was effective for us as of January 1, 2017. The adoption of this update did not have a material impact on our financial statements.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which will supersede nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance under GAAP. The ASU's core principle is that a company will recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The update is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017. The update allows for either “full retrospective” adoption, meaning the standard is applied to all of the periods presented, or “modified retrospective” adoption, meaning the standard is applied only to the most current period presented in the financial statements. We will adopt the requirements of the new standard in the first quarter of 2018 under the modified retrospective transition method.

As part of our implementation efforts to date, all of our revenue contracts have been subject to review to evaluate the effect of the new standard on our revenue recognition practices. We have also made progress in evaluating new disclosure


requirements and identifying impacts to our business processes, systems and controls to support recognition and disclosure under the new guidance.

We expect the adoption of the new standard will change the way we recognize revenue from our committed shippers under transportation services agreements. We anticipate the new standard will result in earlier recognition of revenue related to cash collected from customers for shortfalls under these agreements, which is recorded as deferred revenue. We currently recognize deferred revenue under these arrangements into revenue once all contingencies or potential performance obligations associated with the related volumes have been satisfied or expired. Upon adoption of the new standard and application of the breakage model to our deferred revenue, we anticipate a cumulative transition adjustment resulting from the earlier recognition of revenue with a corresponding adjustment to beginning retained earnings and are in the process of quantifying the impact.

We have also identified potential contracts or elements of contracts that may require a change in presentation on our income statement, specifically related to the service component of leases, product loss allowance, gross versus net presentation and reimbursements of capital expenditures. Currently, we do not anticipate these to materially impact our financial statements as there will be no net impact to income before taxes. However, this is still under review and subject to our ongoing assessment of the guidance.

For additional information on accounting pronouncements issued prior to September 2017, refer to Note 2—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of our 2016 Annual Report.


2. Acquisitions and Divestitures    

On May 10, 2017, we acquired a 100% interest in Delta, Na Kika and Refinery Gas Pipeline for $630.0 million in consideration (the “May 2017 Acquisition”). As part of the May 2017 Acquisition, SPLC and Shell GOM Pipeline Company LP (“Shell GOM”) contributed all but the working capital of Delta and Na Kika to Pecten, and Shell Chemical LP (“Shell Chemical”) contributed all but the working capital of Refinery Gas Pipeline to Sand Dollar. The May 2017 Acquisition closed pursuant to a Purchase and Sale Agreement dated May 4, 2017 (the “May 2017 Purchase and Sale Agreement”), among the Operating Company, us, Shell Chemical, Shell GOM and SPLC. Shell Chemical, Shell GOM and SPLC are each wholly owned subsidiaries of Shell. We funded the May 2017 Acquisition with $50.0 million of cash on hand, $73.1 million in borrowings under our Five Year Revolver (as defined in Note 7—Related Party Debt), and $506.9 million in borrowings under our Five Year Fixed Facility (as defined in Note 7—Related Party Debt) with Shell Treasury Center (West) Inc. (“STCW”), an affiliate of Shell. Total transaction costs of $0.8 million were expensed as incurred. The terms of the May 2017 Acquisition were approved by the Board of Directors of our general partner (the “Board”) and by the conflicts committee of the Board, which consists entirely of independent directors. The conflicts committee engaged an independent financial advisor and legal counsel. In accordance with the May 2017 Purchase and Sale Agreement, Shell Chemical has agreed to reimburse us for costs and expenses incurred in connection with the conversion of a section of pipe from the Convent refinery to Sorrento from refinery gas service to butane service. The May 2017 Purchase and Sale Agreement contains other customary representations, warranties and covenants.

In connection with the May 2017 Purchase and Sale Agreement, we granted Shell Chemical a purchase option and right of first refusal with respect to Refinery Gas Pipeline and certain other related assets and the ownership interests in Sand Dollar. The purchase option may be triggered by, among other things, (i) a third party obtaining the right to use any or all of a Refinery Gas Pipeline; (ii) the loss of all volume on a Refinery Gas Pipeline that would result in it being permanently shutdown for two years or more; (iii) the termination of a transportation services agreement between Shell Chemical and Sand Dollar (“Refinery Gas Pipeline Agreement”); (iv) the expiration of the term of a Refinery Gas Pipeline Agreement; or (v) a change of control of our general partner; provided, however, that in the case of (i) through (iv), the purchase option would only be applicable to the Refinery Gas Pipeline impacted by such event. In addition, in the event that Sand Dollar receives an offer to sell all or a portion of the Refinery Gas Pipelines or the ownership interests in Sand Dollar from a third party, Shell Chemical has a right of first refusal with respect to such Refinery Gas Pipelines or ownership interests, as applicable, for so long as any Refinery Gas Pipeline Agreement between Shell Chemical and Sand Dollar is in effect. 

In connection with the May 2017 Acquisition we acquired historical carrying value of property, plant and equipment, net and other assets under common control as follows:



Delta$40.1
Na Kika26.0
Refinery Gas Pipeline134.6
May 2017 Acquisition$200.7

We recognized $429.3 million of consideration in excess of the book value of net assets acquired as a capital distribution to our general partner in accordance with our policy for common control transactions. During the three months ended September 30, 2017, we adjusted the historical carrying value of property, plant and equipment acquired in connection with the May 2017 Acquisition. The adjustment resulted in a decrease to property, plant and equipment of $9.9 million with a corresponding increase to the capital distribution to our general partner. For the period from closing through September 30, 2017, we recognized $40.1 million in revenues and $18.9 million of net earnings related to the assets acquired.March 31, 2022.

On April 28, 2017, Zydeco divested a small segment of its pipeline system (the “April 2017 Divestiture”) to Equilon Enterprises LLC d/b/a Shell Oil Products US (“SOPUS”) as part of the Motiva JV separation. The April 2017 Divestiture closed pursuant to a Pipeline Sale and Purchase Agreement (the “April 2017 Pipeline Sale and Purchase Agreement”) dated April 28, 2017 among Zydeco and SOPUS. We received $21.0 million in cash consideration for this sale, of which $19.4 million is attributable to the Partnership. The cash consideration represents $0.8 million for the book value of net assets divested, and $20.2 million in excess proceeds received from our Parent. The April 2017 Pipeline Sale and Purchase Agreement contained customary representations and warranties and indemnification by SOPUS.

On August 9, 2016, we acquired a 2.62% equity interest in Explorer from SPLC (the “August 2016 Acquisition”) for $26.2 million. The August 2016 Acquisition was made in connection with SPLC’s right, as a current shareholder of Explorer, to acquire a portion of the equity interest being divested by another shareholder of Explorer. SPLC separately owns a 35.97% equity interest in Explorer. The August 2016 Acquisition closed on August 9, 2016 pursuant to a Share Purchase and Sale Agreement among us, the Operating Company and SPLC, and is accounted for as a transaction between entities under common control. We funded the August 2016 Acquisition with $26.3 million of cash on hand. Total transaction costs of $0.1 million were incurred. The terms of the August 2016 Acquisition were approved by the Board.

On May 23, 2016, we acquired an additional 30.0% interest in Zydeco, an additional 1.0% interest in Bengal and an additional 3.0% interest in Colonial for $700.0 million in consideration (the “May 2016 Acquisition”). The May 2016 Acquisition closed pursuant to a Contribution Agreement (the “May 2016 Contribution Agreement”) dated May 17, 2016 among us, the Operating Company and SPLC and became effective on April 1, 2016, and is accounted for as a transaction between entities under common control. We funded the May 2016 Acquisition with $345.8 million from the net proceeds of a registered public offering of 10,500,000 common units representing limited partner interests in us (the “May 2016 Offering”), $50.4 million of cash on hand and $296.7 million in borrowings under the Five Year Revolver (as defined in Note 7—Related Party Debt) with STCW, an affiliate of Shell. The remaining $7.1 million in consideration consisted of an issuance of 214,285 general partner units to our general partner in order to maintain its 2.0% general partner interest in us. Total transaction costs of $0.4 million were incurred in association with the May 2016 Acquisition. The terms of the May 2016 Acquisition were approved by the Board and by the conflicts committee of the Board, which consists entirely of independent directors. The conflicts committee engaged an independent financial advisor and legal counsel. In accordance with the May 2016 Contribution Agreement, SPLC has agreed to reimburse us for our proportionate share of certain costs and expenses incurred by Zydeco after April 1, 2016 with respect to a directional drill project to address soil erosion over a two-mile section of our 22-inch diameter pipeline under the Atchafalaya River and Bayou Shaffer in Louisiana. Such reimbursements will be treated as an additional capital contribution from the general partner at the time of payment. The May 2016 Contribution Agreement contained customary representations and warranties and indemnification by SPLC.

In connection with the May 2016 Acquisition we acquired book value of net assets under common control as follows:

We recognized $606.3 million of consideration in excess of the book value of net assets acquired as a capital distribution to our general partner in accordance with our policy for common control transactions. This capital distribution was comprised of $599.2 million in cash and $7.1 million in general partner units issued.

Unamortized differences in the basis of the initial investments and our interest in the separate net assets within the financial statements of the investees are amortized into net income over the remaining useful lives of the underlying assets. The amortization is included in Income from equity method investments. As of September 30, 2017March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2016,2021, the unamortized basis differences included in our equity investments are $28.4were $73 million and $30.9$75 million, respectively. For both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017,March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2021, the net amortization expense was $0.7$2 million.

Cumulatively, distributions received from Poseidon have been in excess of our investment balance and, therefore, the equity method of accounting has been suspended for this investment and the investment amount reduced to zero. As we have no commitments to provide further financial support to Poseidon, we have recorded excess distributions in Other income of $8 million and $2.1$14 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2021, respectively. Once our cumulative share of equity earnings becomes greater than the cumulative amount of distributions received, we will resume the equity method of accounting as long as the equity method investment balance remains greater than zero.

Significant Developments
The board of directors of Colonial elected not to declare a dividend for the three months ended March 31, 2022.

Capital Contributions

LIBOR is being discontinued globally, and as such, a new benchmark will take its place. We are in discussion with our Parent to further clarify the reference rate(s) applicable to our revolving credit facilities once LIBOR is discontinued, and once determined, will assess the financial impact, if any.

On May 12, 2015, we amended and restated the Five Year Revolver to increase the borrowing capacity amount to $400.0 million and on September 27, 2016, we further amended and restated the Five Year Revolver to increase the amount of the facility to $760.0 million. In connection with the latest amendment and restatement of the Five Year Revolver, we paid an issuance fee of $0.6 million.

Additionally, the Five Year Revolver provides that loans advanced under the facility can have a term ending on or before its maturity date. 

Borrowings under the Five Year Revolver bear interest at the three-month LIBOR rate plus a margin.

agreed to restrict additional indebtedness not loaned by STCW;
to give the applicable facility pari passu ranking with any new indebtedness; and
to refrain from securing our assets except as agreed with STCW (Five Year Fixed Facility only).

The facilities also contain customary events of default, such as nonpayment of principal, interest and fees when due and violation of covenants, as well as cross-default provisions under which a default under one credit facility may trigger an event of default in another facility with the same borrower. Any breach of covenants included in our debt agreements which could result in our related party lender demanding payment of the unpaid principal and interest balances willWe have a material adverse effect upon us and would likely require us to seek to renegotiate these debt arrangements with our related party lender and/or


obtain new financing from other sources. As of September 30, 2017, we were in compliance with the covenants contained in the Five Year Fixed Facility and the Five Year Revolver, and Zydeco was in compliance with the covenants contained in the Zydeco Revolver.

8. Revenue Recognition

The revenue standard’s core principle is that a company will recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The revenue standard requires entities to recognize revenue through the application of a five-step model, which includes: identification of the contract; identification of the performance obligations; determination of the transaction price; allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations; and recognition of revenue as the entity satisfies the performance obligations.

(2) Terminaling services revenue related parties is comprised of the service components in our terminaling services contracts, including the operation and maintenance service components related to the Norco Assets. See Note2 Related Party Transactions for additional details.
(3) Terminaling services revenue major maintenance service related parties is comprised of the major maintenance service components related the Norco Assets. See Note 2 Related Party Transactions for additional details.
(4) Productrevenue related parties is comprised of allowance oil sales.

Lease revenue
Certain of our long-term transportation and terminaling services contracts with related parties are accounted for as operating leases. These agreements have both lease and non-lease service components. We allocate the arrangement consideration between the lease components and any non-lease service components based on the relative stand-alone selling price of each component. We estimate the stand-alone selling price of the lease and non-lease service components based on an analysis of service-related and lease-related costs for each contract, adjusted for a representative profit margin. The contracts have a minimum fixed monthly payment for both the lease and non-lease service components. We present the non-lease service components under the revenue standard within Transportation, terminaling and storage services – related parties in the unaudited consolidated statements of income.

Revenues from the lease components of these agreements are recorded within Lease revenue – related parties in the unaudited consolidated statements of income. Some of these agreements were entered into for terms of ten years, with the option for the lessee to extend for 2 additional five-year terms. One of these contracts was amended to include an option for the lessee to extend for a fourteen-month term prior to the original extension options. However, it is reasonably certain that the original extension options of the 2 additional five-year terms will not be exercised for this contract. Further, we have agreements with

initial terms of ten years with the option for the lessee to extend for up to 10 additional one-year terms. As of March 31, 2022, future minimum payments of both the lease and non-lease service components to be received under the ten-year contract term of these operating leases were estimated to be:
TotalLess than 1 yearYears 2 to 3Years 4 to 5More than 5 years
Operating leases$590 $109 $218 $218 $45 

Terminaling services revenue - Norco Assets
Certain of our terminaling service agreements entered into with SOPUS and Shell Chemical relate to the Norco Assets. These terminaling service agreements were entered into for an initial term of fifteen years, with the option to extend for an additional five-year term. The transfer of the Norco Assets, combined with the terminaling services agreements, were accounted for as a failed sale leaseback under the lease standard. The Partnership receives an annual net payment of $140 million, which is the total annual payment pursuant to the terminaling service agreements of $151 million, less $11 million, which primarily represents the allocated utility costs from SOPUS related to the Norco Assets. The terminaling service agreements contain an inflation escalation clause, pursuant to which the annual payments increase on July 1 of each year commencing on July 1, 2021. The inflation adjustment is based on the rate of change in the annual Consumer Price Index (“CPI”) published by U.S. Department of Labor’s Bureau of Labor Statistics. On July 1, 2021, the annual payments were escalated by applying a CPI adjustment of 4.86%. After such escalation, the Partnership now receives an annual net payment of $147 million, which is the total annual payment of $158 million, less $11 million related to the allocated utility costs from SOPUS.

These agreements have components related to financing receivables, for which the interest income is recognized in the unaudited consolidated statements of income and principal payments are recognized as a reduction to the financing receivables in the unaudited consolidated balance sheet. Revenue related to the service components are presented within Transportation, terminaling and storage services – related parties in the unaudited consolidated statements of income.

For additional information on the service types of revenue, refer to Note 12 – Revenue Recognition in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our 2021 Annual Report.

Contract Balances

(1) Deferred revenue related parties is related to deficiency credits from certain minimum volume commitment contracts and certain components of our terminaling service contracts on the Norco Assets.

The contract assets represent the excess of the fair value embedded within the terminaling services agreements transferred by the Partnership to SOPUS and Shell Chemical as part of entering into the terminaling services agreements related to the Norco Assets. The contract assets balance is amortized in a pattern consistent with the recognition of revenue on the service components of the contract. The portion of the contract assets related to operations and maintenance is amortized on a straight-line basis over a fifteen-year period, and the portion related to major maintenance is amortized based on the ratio of actual major maintenance costs incurred to the total projected major maintenance costs over the fifteen-year term. We recorded amortization as a component of Transportation, terminaling and storage services – related parties of $4 million for both the three months ended March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2021. We had $214 million and $218 million contract assets recognized from the costs to obtain or fulfill a contract as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

The estimated future amortization related to the contract assets for the next five years is as follows:

9. Net Income Per Limited Partner Unit

Net income per unit applicable to common limited partner units and to subordinated limited partner units in periods prior to the expiration of the subordination period, is computed by dividing the respective limited partners’ interest in net income attributable to the Partnership for the period by the weighted average number of common units and subordinated units, respectively, outstanding for the period. Because we have more than oneSince the Series A Preferred Units are not considered a participating security, our only class of participating securities we useis the two-class method when calculatingcommon units.

11. Commitments and Contingencies


Environmental Matters

We are subject to federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations. We routinely conduct reviews of potential environmental issues and claims that could impact our assets or operations. These reviews assist us in identifying environmental issues and estimating the costs and timing of remediation efforts. In making environmental liability estimations, we consider the material effect of environmental compliance, pending legal actions against us and potential third-party liability claims. Often, as the remediation evaluation and effort progresses, additional information is obtained, requiring revisions to estimated costs. These revisions are reflected in our income in the period in which they are probable and reasonably estimable.

As of September 30, 2017both March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2016, we did2021, these costs and any related liabilities are not have any material accrued liabilities associated with environmental clean-up costs.material.


Legal Proceedings

We are named defendants in lawsuits and governmental proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of business. For each of our outstanding legal matters, we evaluate the merits of the case, our exposure to the matter, possible legal or settlement strategies and the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome. While there are still uncertainties related to the ultimate costs we may incur, based upon our evaluation and experience to date, we do not expect that the ultimate resolution of these matters will have a material adverse effect on our financial position, operating results or cash flows.

On April 27, 2022, the Administrative Law Judge issued a second partial initial decision related to Colonial’s ongoing FERC rate case addressing the issues not covered in the first partial initial decision issued on December 1, 2021. Colonial has begun to review the decision. Depending upon the final outcome of the case, the

potential adoption of such decision in whole or in part by the FERC could adversely affect our equity method investment in Colonial, net income and CAFD. Due in part to the anticipated impacts of the rate case on Colonial’s business, the board of directors of Colonial elected not to declare a dividend for the three months ended September 30, 2017, and expect to incur an additional $1.5 million throughMarch 31, 2022.

Our 20172022 operations and strategic initiatives demonstrate our continuing focus on our business strategies:


Operational Excellence.Our first priority is theMaintain operational excellence through prioritization of safety, reliability and efficiency of our operations. SPLC, the operator of our Shell-operated assets, is an industry-recognized operator with over 100 years of experience in the pipeline business. We benefit from Shell’s leadership in operational excellenceefficiency;
Enhanced focus on cash optimization and leverage Shell’s industry leading operating and asset integrity processes.

Fee-based businesses supported by long-term contractsFocus on advantageous commercial agreements with creditworthy counterparties. We are focused on generating stable and predictablecounterparties to enhance financial results by providing fee-based transportationover the long-term; and midstream services to Shell and third parties. We believe these agreements will substantially mitigate volatility in our financial results by reducing our direct exposure to commodity price fluctuations.

Growth through strategic acquisitions in key geographies. We plan to continue to pursue strategic acquisitions of assets from Shell and third parties. We believe our sponsor, Shell, will offer us opportunities to purchase additional midstream assets that it currently owns or that it may acquire or develop in the future. We may also have opportunities to pursue the acquisition or development of additional assets jointly with Shell.

Optimize existing assets and pursue organic growth opportunities. We

Over the past two years, our business, as well as the market and economy as a whole, have dealt with unprecedented volatility and uncertainty. Even with these challenges, our assets have largely continued to deliver solid results that have allowed us to execute our business strategies. However, we continue to anticipate certain headwinds that may jeopardize our ability to generate sufficient cash to meet our quarterly obligations, including the pending FERC rate case at Colonial and ongoing uncertainty in the macro-environment. Further, the conflicts committee appointed by the Board is currently evaluating the Proposal, and the transactions consummated by the Proposal, if consummated, would alter our capital structure. Refer to Note 1 – Description of Business – Take Private Proposal in the Notes to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements in this report for additional information.

To the extent the transactions contemplated by the Proposal are not consummated, identifying and executing acquisitions, whether from Shell or from third parties, will seek to enhance the profitabilityremain a key part of our existing assets by pursuing opportunities to increase throughputstrategy. However, if we do not make acquisitions on economically acceptable terms or if we incur a substantial amount of debt in connection with the acquisitions, our future growth will be limited, and storage volumes, by expanding our midstream service offerings and by managing costs and improving operating efficiencies. We also intend to consider opportunities tothe acquisitions we do make may reduce, rather than increase, our revenuesavailable cash. Our ability to obtain financing or access capital markets may also directly impact our ability to continue to pursue strategic acquisitions. Market demand for equity issued by evaluating and capitalizing on organic expansion projects. We pursue a corridor strategymaster limited partnerships (“MLPs”) may make it more challenging for us to fund our acquisitions with the issuance of equity in the offshore, owning the trunk pipelines that aggregate and transport produced volumes to major onshorecapital markets. These corridors are designed to maintain relatively constant to growing volumes despite individual well and field declines by attracting new Gulf of Mexico production. Producers in new fields seek to reduce their costs and improve their market access by connecting to existing corridors.



How We Generate Revenue

Crude Oil Pipelines

Onshore Crude Pipeline

Our Zydeco pipeline system generates the majority of its revenue from transportation services agreements. Zydeco also transports volumes on a spot basis.

While a few rates onHowever, we believe our assets were reduced to comply with the negative FERC index in 2016,balance sheet offers us flexibility, providing us other financing options such as the spot rates on Zydeco outhybrid securities, purchases of Houma, most rates oncommon units by Shell and debt. While we expect to retain this flexibility, we anticipate continuing to moderate inorganic growth in our assets were not affected due to the fact that the index did not apply to contracted rates or they were already below the index ceiling level. Additionally, our spot rates on Zydeco that were subject to the rate case filed against Zydeco with the FERC are not subject to adjustment through November 2017.

Zydeco’s FERC-approved transportation services agreements entitle the customer to a specified amount of guaranteed capacityasset base and focusing on the pipeline. This capacity cannot be pro-rated even if the pipeline is oversubscribed. In exchange, the customer makes a specified monthly payment regardless of the volume transported. If the customer does not ship its full guaranteed volume in a given month, it makes the full monthly cash payment and it may ship the unused volume in a later month for no additional cash payment for up to 12 months, subject to availability on the pipeline. The cash payment received is recognized as deferred revenue, and thereby not included in revenue or net income until the earlier of the shipment of the unused volumes or the expiration of the 12-month period, as provided for in the applicable contract. If there is insufficient capacity on the pipeline to allow the unused volume to be shipped, the customer forfeits its right to ship such unused volume. We do not refund any cash payments relating to unused volumes.

When our transportation services agreements expire, they will most likely be replaced with throughput and deficiency agreements. Throughput and deficiency agreements establish a minimum annual average volume for each year during a fixed period. If the customer falls below the minimum volume in a year, it is required to pay a deficiency payment equal to the difference at the end of the year, which may impact the timing of cash flows. Under current regulations, the rate under a throughput and deficiency agreement may be less than the equivalent spot rate, however, we are unable to predict the impact on revenues due to the effect of market conditions on contract negotiations. Typically, surplus volumes in a year can be reserved

for use in subsequent years where there is a deficiency. We refer to our transportation services agreements and throughput and deficiency agreements as “ship-or-pay” contracts.

Offshore Crude Pipelines

Our offshore crude pipelines generate revenue under three types of long-term transportation agreements: life-of-lease agreements, life-of-lease agreements with a guaranteed return and buy-sell agreements. Some crude oil also moves on our offshore pipelines under posted tariffs. In addition, Mars has the ability to charge inventory management fees.

Our life-of-lease agreements have a term equal to the life of the applicable mineral lease. Our life-of-lease agreements require producers to transport all production from the specified fields connected to the pipeline for the entire life of the lease. This means that the dedicated production cannot be transported by any other means, such as barges or another pipeline. Some of these agreements can also include provisions to guarantee a return to the pipeline to enable the pipeline to recover its investment in the initial years despite the uncertainty in production volumes by providing for an annual transportation rate adjustment over a fixed period of time to achieve a fixed rate of return. The calculation for the fixed rate of return is usually based on actual project costs and operating costs. At the end of the fixed period, some rates will be locked in at the last calculated rate and adjusted thereafter based on the FERC index.

Odyssey and Poseidon provide for the transportation of crude oil through the use of buy-sell arrangements where crude is purchased at the receipt location into the pipeline and sold back to the counterparty at the destination at that price plus a transportation differential. Proteus and Endymion provide for the transportation of crude oil via private Oil Transportation Agreements (“OTAs”). These OTAs are a mix of term and life-of-lease agreements. For Endymion, these OTA contracts also allow for storage at the Clovelly Storage Terminal.

We expect to continue extending our corridor pipelines to provide developing growth regions in the Gulf of Mexico with access via our existing corridors to onshore refining centers and market hubs. We believe this strategy will allow our offshore business to grow profitably throughout demand cycles.

Product Loss Allowance

The majoritysustainable operation of our long-term transportation agreementscore assets, cash preservation and tariffs for crude oil transportation include product loss allowance (“PLA”). PLA is an allowance for volume losses due to measurement difference set forth in crude oil transportation agreements, including long-term transportation agreements and tariffs for crude oil shipments. PLA is intended to assure proper measurementorganic growth of the crude oil despite solids, water, evaporation and variable crude types that can cause mismeasurement. The PLA provides additional income for us if product losses on our pipelines are within the allowed levels; however, we are required to compensate our customers for any product losses that exceed the allowed levels. We take title to any excess loss allowance when product losses are within the allowed levels, and we sell that product several times per year at prevailing market prices.business.

Products Pipeline

Our refined products pipeline systems are held through our ownership in Bengal, Colonial and Explorer. The Bengal and Colonial systems connect Gulf Coast and southeastern U.S. refineries to major demand centers from Alabama to New York, while Explorer serves more than 70 major cities in 16 states from the Gulf Coast to the Midwest. All three of these systems provide transportation under throughput and deficiency agreements and on a spot basis. All three systems are FERC regulated, with Bengal’s rates being indexed rates, Explorer’s rates being entirely market based and Colonial having a mix of market based and indexed rates.

Natural Gas Pipeline

The Cleopatra natural gas gathering system, in which we own a 1.0% interest, generates revenue under natural gas gathering agreements. These agreements are similar to the agreements that govern our offshore crude oil pipelines. We expect income from our natural gas pipeline to be insignificant for the year ending December 31, 2017.

Refinery Gas Pipeline

The Refinery Gas Pipeline system is a network of approximately 100-miles of refinery gas pipeline connecting multiple refineries and plants operated along the Gulf Coast to Shell Chemical sites, in which we own a 100% interest. We generate revenue on this system under transportation service agreements that include minimum revenue commitments. The contracts

require a specified monthly payment regardless of volume shipped, and do not receive a credit for unused volume in a given month to use in future months.

Terminals and Storage Facilities

At Lockport, our storage tanks are utilized at approximately 80% capacity via three service and throughput contracts. One of the contracts expired in early 2017 and has been extended for one year under revised terms, and another will expire on December 31, 2017 and is currently under re-negotiation. The third contract expires on December 31, 2019. In addition to these three contracts, we are actively developing new business for the facility.


How We Evaluate Our Operations

Our management uses a variety of financial and operating metrics to analyze our performance. These metrics are significant factors in assessing our operating results and profitability and include: (i) revenue (including PLA)pipeline loss allowance (“PLA”) from contracted capacity and throughput;throughput); (ii) operations and maintenance expenses (including capital expenses); (iii) net income attributable to the Partnership; (iv) Adjusted EBITDA (defined below); and (iv) Cash Available for Distribution.(v) CAFD.


Contracted Capacity and Throughput

The amount of revenue our assets generate primarily depends on our long-term transportation and storage serviceservices agreements with shippers and the volumes of crude oil, refinery gas and refined products that we handle through our pipelines, terminals and storage tanks. If shippers do not meet the minimum contracted volume commitments under our ship-or-pay contracts, we have the right to charge for reserved capacity or for deficiency payments as described in “How We Generate Revenue.” Our assets also earn revenue by shipping crude oil and refined products on a spot rate basis in accordance with our tariff or posted rate sheets and under buy-sell agreements.


25


The commitments under our long-term transportation, terminaling and storage serviceservices agreements with shippers and the volumes which we handle in our pipelines and storage tanks are primarily affected by the supply of, and demand for, crude oil, refinery gas, natural gas and refined products in the markets served directly or indirectly by our assets. This supply and demand is impacted by the market prices for crude oil, refinery gas, natural gas and refinedthese products in the markets we serve. The ongoing Russian invasion of Ukraine and the associated impacts on the global markets has caused, and may continue to cause, disruptions in the U.S. economy and financial and energy markets. Responses of oil and gas producers to the changes in demand for, and price of, oil and natural gas are constantly evolving and unpredictable.

We utilize the commercial arrangements we believe are the most prudent under the market conditions to deliver on our business strategy. The results of our operations will be impacted by our ability to:


maintain utilization of and rates charged for our pipelines and storage facilities;

utilize the remaining uncommitted capacity on, or add additional capacity to, our pipeline systems;

increase throughput volumes on our pipeline systems by making connections to existing or new third partythird-party pipelines or other facilities, primarily driven by the anticipated supply of, and demand for, crude oil and refined products; and

identify and execute organic expansion projects.


Operations and Maintenance Expenses

Our management seeks to maximize our profitability by effectively managing operations and maintenance expenses. These expenses are comprisedconsist primarily of of:

labor expenses (including contractor services), ;
insurance costs (including coverage for our consolidated assets and operated joint ventures), ;
utility costs (including electricity and fuel) and ;
repairs and maintenance expenses. Utilityexpenses; and
major maintenance costs (related to the terminaling service agreements of the Norco Assets, which are expensed as incurred because the Partnership does not own the related assets).

Certain costs naturally fluctuate based on throughput volumes and the grades of crude oil and types of refined products we handle. Management has performed a strategic evaluation of its insurance coverage and upon renewal of the contracts in the fourth quarter of 2017, all of our insurance coverage will be provided by a wholly owned subsidiary of Shell. This will result in both overall cost savings and improved coverage. Ourhandle, whereas other operations and maintenance expensescosts generally remain stable across broad ranges of throughput and storage volumes, but can fluctuate from period to periodvary depending onupon the mixlevel of activities, particularlyboth planned and unplanned maintenance activities, performed during aactivity in the particular period. At times, the fluctuation in operations andOur maintenance expenses may materially increase due to the performance of planned maintenance,activity can be impacted by events such as turnaround work andturnarounds, asset integrity work and unplannedstorms.

Our management seeks to maximize our profitability by effectively managing operations and maintenance such as repairexpenses. While cost effectiveness has always been a focus of damage caused by a natural disaster.the business, it is of increased importance given the current operating environment.



Adjusted EBITDA and Cash Available for Distribution


Adjusted EBITDA and Cash Available for Distribution CAFD have important limitations as analytical tools because they exclude some, but not all, items that affect net income and net cashcash provided by operating activities. You should not consider Adjusted EBITDA or Cash Available for DistributionCAFD in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Additionally, because Adjusted EBITDA and Cash Available for DistributionCAFD may be defined differently by other companies in our industry, our definition of Adjusted EBITDA and Cash Available for DistributionCAFD may not be comparable to similarly titledsimilarly-titled measures of other companies, thereby diminishing their utility.


The GAAP measures most directly comparable to Adjusted EBITDA and Cash Available for DistributionCAFD are net income and net cash provided by operating activities. Adjusted EBITDA and Cash Available for DistributionCAFD should not be considered as an alternative to GAAP net income or net cash provided by operating activities. Please refer to “Results of Operations -Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures” for the reconciliation of GAAP measures net income and cash provided by operating activities to non-GAAP measures, Adjusted EBITDA and Cash Available for Distribution.CAFD.


We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income before income taxes, net interest expense, interest income, gain or loss from dispositions of fixed assets, allowance oil reduction to net realizable value, loss from revision of asset retirement obligation, and depreciation, amortization and accretion, plus cash distributed to us from equity method investments for the applicable period, less equity method distributions included in other income and income from equity method investments. We define Adjusted EBITDA attributable to the Partnership as Adjusted EBITDA less Adjusted EBITDA attributable to noncontrolling interests.interests and Adjusted EBITDA attributable to Parent.


We define Cash Available for DistributionCAFD as Adjusted EBITDA attributable to the Partnership less maintenance capital expenditures attributable to the Partnership, netnet interest paid by the Partnership, cash reserves, and income taxes paid and distributions on our Series A perpetual convertible preferred units (the Series A Preferred Units”), plus net adjustments from volume deficiency payments attributable

to the Partnership, reimbursements from Parent included in partners’ capital, principal and interest payments received on financing receivables and certain one-time payments received. Cash Available for DistributionCAFD will not reflect changes in working capital balances.


We believe that the presentation of these non-GAAP supplemental financial measures provides useful information to management and investors in assessing our financial condition and results of operations. We present these financial measures because we believe replacing our proportionate share of our equity investments’ net income with the cash received from such equity investments more accurately reflects the cash flow from our business, which is meaningful to our investors.


Adjusted EBITDA and Cash Available for DistributionCAFD are non-GAAP supplemental financial measures that management and external users of our consolidated financial statements, such as industry analysts, investors, lenders and rating agencies, may use to assess:


our operating performance as compared to other publicly tradedpublicly-traded partnerships in the midstream energy industry, without regard to historical cost basis or, in the case of Adjusted EBITDA, financing methods;

the ability of our business to generate sufficient cash to support our decision to make distributions to our unitholders;

our ability to incur and service debt and fund capital expenditures; and

the viability of acquisitions and other capital expenditure projects and the returns on investment of various investment opportunities.


Factors Affecting Our Business and Outlook

Substantially all of our revenue is derived from long-term transportation service agreements with shippers, including ship-or-pay agreements and life-of-lease agreements, some of which provide a guaranteed return, and storage service agreements with marketers, pipelines and refiners. We believe the commercial terms of these long-term transportation and storage service agreements substantially mitigate volatility in our financial results by limiting our direct exposure to reductions in volumes due to supply or demand variability. Our business can, however, be negatively affected by sustained downturns or sluggishness in commodity prices or the economy in general, and is impacted by shifts in supply and demand dynamics, the mix of services requested by the customers of our pipelines, competition and changes in regulatory requirements affecting our operations.

We believe key factors that impact our business are the supply of, and demand for, crude oil, natural gas, refinery gas and refined products in the markets in which our business operates. We also believe that our customers’ requirements, competition and government regulation of crude oil, refined products, natural gas and refinery gas play an important role in how we manage our operations and implement our long-term strategies. In addition, acquisition opportunities, whether from Shell or third parties, and financing options, will also impact our business. These factors are discussed in more detail below.


Changes in Crude Oil Sourcing and Refined Product Demand Dynamics


To effectively manage our business, we monitor our market areas for both short-term and long-term shifts in crude oil and refined products supply and demand. Changes in crude oil supply such as new discoveries of reserves, declining production in older fields, operational impacts at producer fields and the introduction of new sources of crude oil supply affect the demand for our services from both producers and consumers. In addition, general economic, regulatory, broad market and worldwide health considerations can also affect sourcing and demand dynamics for our services. This includes, but is not limited to, the impacts resulting from the Russian invasion of Ukraine, as well as the lingering effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.

One of the strategic advantages of our crude oil pipeline systems is their ability to transport attractively priced crude oil from multiple supply markets to key refining centers along the Gulf Coast. Our crude oil shippers periodically change the relative mix of crude oil grades delivered to the refineries and markets served by our pipelines. They also occasionally choose to store crude longer term when the forward price is higher than the current price (a “contango market”). While these changes in the sourcing patterns of crude oil transported or stored are reflected in changes in the relative volumes of crude oil by type handled by our pipelines, our total crude oil transportation revenue is primarily affected by changes in overall crude oil supply and demand dynamics.dynamics, such as the impacts resulting from the Russian invasion of Ukraine, as well as U.S. exports.


Similarly, our refined products pipelines have the ability to serve multiple major demand centers. Our refined products shippers periodically change the relative mix of refined products shipped on our refined products pipelines, as well as the destination points, based on changes in pricing and demand dynamics. While these changes in shipping patterns are reflected in relative types of refined products handled by our various pipelines, our total product transportation revenue is primarily affected by changes in overall refined products supply and demand dynamics.dynamics, including the impacts resulting from the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Demand can also be greatly affected by refinery performance in the end market, as refined products pipeline demand will increase to fill the supply gap created by refinery issues.


We can also be constrained by asset integrity considerations in the volumes we ship. We may elect to reduce cycling on our systems to reduce asset integrity risk, which in turn would likely result in lower revenues.


As these supply and demand dynamics shift, we anticipate that we will continue to actively pursue projects that link new sources of supply to producers and consumers. Similarly, as demand dynamics change, we anticipate that we willconsumers and to create new services or capacity arrangements that meet customer requirements. We expect to continue extending our corridor pipelines to provide developing growth regions in the Gulf of Mexico with access via our existing corridors to onshore refining centers and market hubs. For example, the Mars system is expanding to address growing production volumes in the Gulf of Mexico regions served by Mars. It is expected that the project will be fully operational in 2022. Incremental growth volumes began arriving into the Mars system in the first quarter of 2022, and we expect additional growth volumes to arrive into the system in the latter part of 2022. We believe this strategy will allow our offshore business to grow profitably throughout demand cycles.


27


Changes in Customer Contracting
We generate a portion of our revenue under long-term transportation service agreements with shippers, including ship-or-pay agreements and life-of-lease transportation agreements, some of which provide a guaranteed return, and storage service agreements with marketers, pipelines and refiners. Historically, the commercial terms of these long-term transportation and storage service agreements have mitigated volatility in our financial results by limiting our direct exposure to reductions in volumes due to supply or demand variability. Our business could be negatively affected if we are unable to renew or replace our contract portfolio on comparable terms, by sustained downturns or sluggishness in commodity prices, or the economy in general. Our business is also impacted by shifts in supply and demand dynamics, the mix of services requested by our pipeline customers, competition and changes in regulatory requirements affecting our operations. Other factors that can have an effect on our performance include asset integrity or customer interruptions, natural disasters or other events that could lead customers or connecting carriers to invoke force majeure or other defenses to avoid contractual performance.
As contracts expire, there are several ways in which the associated revenue could be replaced in the future, such as through re-contracting or spot shipments, the outcome of which will be dependent on market and customer dynamics. The market environment at any given time will dictate the rates, terms and duration of agreements that shippers are willing to enter into, as well as the contracts that best satisfy the needs of our business and that will maximize earnings. As we have grown and broadened our business over the past several years, we have benefited from shifting our reliance away from the results of any one asset. For example, while Zydeco continues to serve an important market, and we strive to maximize the long-term value of the system to both shippers and the pipeline, we have diversified, and will continue to diversify, our risk across products, customers and geographies.

Changes in Commodity Prices and Customers Volumes

Crude oil prices declined substantially during 2015 and have fluctuated significantly over the past few years, often with drastic moves in relatively short periods of time. While we saw an increase in both the demand for and price of crude oil throughout 20162021, and 2017. The currenta significant increase in price in the first few months of 2022, it is not without continued uncertainty. Current global geopolitical and economic uncertainty mayinstability, particularly as it relates to the ongoing Russian invasion of Ukraine, continues to contribute to continuedfuture uncertainty, and potential volatility, in financial and commodity marketsmarkets. One example of such global economic forces impacting crude oil prices was the stalemate among Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (“OPEC”) members and co-operating non-OPEC resource holders (the “OPEC+ alliance”), which ultimately ended in mid-2021 and was resolved when the OPEC+ alliance agreed to phase out the COVID-19 production cuts from August 2021 to December 2022. We expect that the OPEC+ alliance decision will cause the crude oil market to remain relatively tight in the near and medium-term, as this increased production will likely align with the higher global demand. The ongoing Russian invasion of Ukraine and resulting sanctions imposed on Russia by the European Union, the United States and other countries have further tightened the crude oil market and elevated commodity prices. Although such sanctions do not directly impact our business or our customers, the effects of these measures may indirectly affect our business by affecting the price of crude oil, natural gas, refinery gas and refined products. Additionally, in order to medium term. address high oil prices, President Biden recently announced a plan to release 1 million barrels of oil a day for the next 6 months from the U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserve. The release from the U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserve is anticipated to start being available in the market in May 2022. While the scope of impact is currently unclear, the release could have a downward effect on commodity prices.
Our direct exposure to commodity price fluctuations is limited to the PLA provisions in our tariffs. We have indirect exposureIndirectly, global demand for refined products and chemicals could impact our terminal operations and refined products and refinery gas pipelines, as well as our crude pipelines that feed U.S. manufacturing demand. Likewise, changes in the global market for crude oil could affect our crude oil pipelines and terminals and require expansion capital expenditures to reach growing export hubs. Demand for crude oil, refined products and refinery gas may decline in the areas we serve as a result of decreased production by our customers, depressed commodity price fluctuations toprices, decreased third-party investment in the extentindustry, increased competition and other adverse economic factors. Other global events, such fluctuationsas the ongoing Russian invasion of Ukraine and its associated impacts on the global markets, as well as the lingering impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, could affect the shipping patternsexploration, production and refining industries generally, which, indirectly, may affect our business. However, fixed contracts with volume minimums and demand for tanks for storage are expected to moderate any impact on our terminaling and storage service revenue.

Certain of our customers. Our assets benefit from long-term fee basedfee-based arrangements and are strategically positioned to connect crude oil volumes originating from key onshore and offshore production basins to the Texas and Louisiana refining markets, where demand for throughput has remained strong. WeHistorically, with the exception of the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, we have not experienced a material decline in throughput volumes on our crude oil pipeline systems as a result of lower crude oil prices. However, ifIf crude oil prices remain at lowdrop to lower levels, for a sustained period,as they did during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, we couldwill see a reduction in our transportation volumes if production coming into our systems is deferred and our associated allowance oil sales decrease. Our customers may also experience liquidity and credit problems or other unexpected events, which could cause them to defer development or repair projects, avoid our contracts in bankruptcy, invoke force majeure clauses or other defenses to avoid

contractual performance, renegotiate our contracts on terms that are less attractive to us or impair their ability to perform under our contracts.


Our throughput volumes on our refined products pipeline systems depend primarily on the volume of refined products produced at connected refineries and the desirability of our end markets. These factors in turn are driven by refining margins, maintenance schedules and market differentials. Refining margins depend on the cost of crude oil or other feedstocks and the price of refined products. These margins are affected by numerous factors beyond our control, including the domestic and global supply of and demand for crude oil and refined products. We are currently experiencing relatively high demand for our pipeline systems which service refineries.


Other Changes in Customers Volumes

Total ZydecoOnshore crude transportation volumes were lower in the Current Quarter (as defined below)three months ended March 31, 2022 (the “Current Quarter”) versus the Comparable Quarter (as defined below),three months ended March 31, 2021 (the “Comparable Quarter”) primarily due to the disposal of an interplant line delivering to a connecting refinery. Additionally, Zydeco experienced lower volumesdeliveries from certain systems into Houma in the Current Quarter, to Nederland and Lake Charles destinations due topartially offset by the use of an alternate competing route by certain shippers. Although total throughput was down, volumes on the mainline increased to Louisiana markets. The increase on the mainline was driven by a new joint tariff agreement entered into in September 2016 with a connecting carrier which provided incremental capacity to Louisiana market hubs. Additionally, volumes have increased due to connections with multiple pipelines outimpact of the Houston and Nederland/Port Neches areas of Texas seeking access to the Louisiana refining market. Completion of the Port Neches connection to the Sunoco Nederland terminal and the joint tariff agreement are expected to continue enhancing volumes able to access the important Louisiana market hubs of Clovelly and St. James. Excluding the

Offshore crude transportation volumes due to market dynamics.

Transportation volumes on Auger were lower in the Current Period versus the Comparable Period, due to extended maintenance activities at connected producer facilities, reduced production volumes and the directed flow to other markets in response to local market pricing values. Transportation volumes on Auger for the Current Quarter are lower than the Comparable Quarter due mainly to the directed flow to other markets in response to local market pricing values.

Transportation volumes at Lockport were slightly lower in the Current Quarter and Current Period versus the Comparable Quarter and Comparable Period, respectively, due to a reduction in Lockport storage volume and a competitor pipeline that connects to Patoka. Of the three service and throughput contracts at Lockport, one contract expired in early 2017 and has been extended for one year under revised terms, and another will expire on December 31, 2017 and is currently under re-negotiation.  The third contract expires on December 31, 2019.  In addition to these three contracts, we are actively developing new business for the facility.

Transportation volumes in the Current Quarter versus the Comparable Quarter were stronger for Na Kikaprimarily due to well issues that impacted the Comparable Quarter. However, transportation volumes on Na Kika were lower in the Current Period versus the Comparable Period due to planned maintenance activities at the production platform in May 2017,deliveries from certain connected producers, as well as a planned shut-inhigher maintenance activities on various systems in September 2017 to enable the connectioneastern corridor of a future well.

Onshore terminaling and storage volumes decreased in the Current Quarter and Current Period versus the Comparable Quarter and Comparable Period, respectively, due to the impact from lower Na Kika deliveries to Delta. Additionally, there were lower receipts from a connecting pipeline system that put in place more stringent quality bank differentialsscheduled maintenance at the end of 2016, which impacted a connecting terminal,Lockport facility, as well as planned maintenance of one of the production platforms connected to such system.connecting carrier availability.

Mars experienced higher receipt volume from a connecting pipeline system, as well as stronger performance from wells in the Mars corridor in the Current Quarter and Current Period as compared to the Comparable Quarter and Comparable Period, respectively. This increase was partially offset by shippers showing slight builds in inventory positions in the Current Quarter, as compared to the Comparable Quarter where market conditions weakened and shippers unwound storage positions by steadily moving volume out of the cavern thereby increasing transportation volumes in the Comparable Quarter.

Odyssey volumes were stronger in the Current Quarter and Current Period versus the Comparable Quarter and Comparable Period, respectively, due to new tie backs that came on-line in the second quarter of 2017.



Major Maintenance Projects

OnA project is being completed on the Zydeco pipelineOdyssey system we are inat MP289C to re-route two pipelines around the execution stage of a directional drill project to address soil erosion over a two-mile section of our 22-inch diameter pipeline underplatform. We expect that the Atchafalaya River and Bayou Shaffer in Louisiana (the “directional drill project”). In December 2016, the necessary permits were received and the directional drill project commenced in January 2017 allowing for performance of there-route work during optimal weather and water conditions. Zydeco expects to incur approximately $24.0 million in maintenance capital expenditures for the total project, of which approximately $22.2 million wouldwill be attributable to our ownership share. From late 2015 through September 30, 2017, Zydeco incurred $16.4 million of capitalized costs related to this project. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 we incurred $2.3 million and $13.0 million, respectively. In connection with the acquisitions of additional interests in Zydeco, SPLC agreed to reimburse us for our proportionate share of certain costs and expenses with respect to the project. We intend to finance our pro rata share of these expenditures which are not coveredcomplete by reimbursement by SPLC from cash on hand or borrowings under our working capital facility. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, we filed claims for reimbursement from SPLC of $2.2 million and $12.1 million, respectively.

On the Refinery Gas Pipeline system, we are in the execution stage of a pipeline conversion project.mid-2023. The project will convert a sectionbe funded by cash calls to the owners of pipe fromOdyssey for their proportionate share. As such, we will fund 71% of the Convent refinery to Sorrento from refinery gas service to butane service (the “service conversion project”). We expect to incur approximately $2.1 million in maintenanceproject.

Major Expansion Projects
The Mars system is expanding to address growing production volumes in 2017. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, we incurred $0.9 million and $1.5 million, respectivelyGulf of costs and expenses relatedMexico regions served by Mars. SPLC has elected to fund the project. In connectioninstallation of the equipment necessary to enable greater throughput volumes on the system, but the revenue associated with increased throughput volumes will benefit Mars. Two major milestones were reached in 2021 with the acquisitionplacement of the Refinery Gas Pipeline asset, Shell Chemical agreed to reimburse us for our share of certain costs and expenses with respect to the project. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, we filed claims for reimbursement from Shell Chemical of $0.9 million and $1.5 million, respectively.


We expect Lockport’s maintenance capital expenditures to be approximately $3.8 million in 2017. This includes electrical improvements, tank inspections and maintenance.

We expect Delta's maintenance capital expenditures to be approximately $3.7 million in 2017 for upgrades to the aviation system on Main Pass 69 and sump pump replacement.

In June 2017 a small release of approximately 23 gallons of crude oil occurredmodule on the Zydeco pipeline near Erath, Louisiana, which we believe wasplatform and the resultexecution of pressure cyclingdefinitive agreements with producers. It is expected that the system. The portion ofproject will be fully operational in 2022. Incremental growth volumes began arriving into the pipeline impacted was repaired and returned to service. We intend to run an in-line inspection tool, hydro-test theMars system and invest in additional equipment to mitigate the effects of pressure cycling in the future. Certain inspection and related preparatory activities for the hydro-test will occur in the fourth quarter of 2017, with an expected impact of $7.0 million to operating income and cash available for distribution. We expect the hydro-test will result in a portion of the Zydeco pipeline between Houston, Texas and Houma, Louisiana being out of service for approximately 30 to 60 days in the first quarter of 2018. Offshore2022 with the startup of PowerNap, a tie-back to the Shell-operated Olympus production hub.

Major Expansion ProjectsOver the course of the next few years, we are considering expanding the Auger corridor in order to position the system to capture potential growth volumes in that region of the Gulf of Mexico.


In June, Zydeco began construction on a tankWe intend to expand our Lockport facility to accommodate expected additional volumes coming into the Midwest region. This expansion project in Houma to address future capacity shortfalls during tank maintenance which will allow us to service additional capacity, as well as allow for existing tanks to come outis pending the completion of service for regularly scheduled inspection and maintenance. We plan to build two 250,000 barrel working tanks at the existing Houma facility for a total of $44.1 million, of which $17.3 million is associated with 2017 activity. The remaining spend is currently estimated for 2018. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, Zydeco incurred $7.1 million and $12.5 million, respectively, of capitalized costs related to this project. The scope includes interconnecting piping, dike expansion and associated facility work.certain commercial agreements.


Customers

Customers
We transport and store crude oil, refined products, natural gas and refinery gas for a broad mix of customers, including producers, refiners, marketers and traders, and are connected to other crude oil and refined products pipelines. In addition to serving directly-connected U.S. Gulf Coast markets, our crude oil and refined products pipelines have access to customers in various regions of the United States through interconnections with other major pipelines. Our customers use our transportation and storage services for a variety of reasons. Refiners typically require a secure and reliable supply of crude oil over a prolonged period of time to meet the needs of their specified refining diet and frequently enter into long-term firm transportation agreements to ensure a ready supply of a specific mix of crude oil grades, rate surety and sometimes sufficient transportation capacity over the life of the contract. Similarly, chemical sites require a secure and reliable supply of refinery gas to crackers and enter into long-term firm transportation agreements to ensure steady supply. Producers of crude oil and natural gas require the ability to deliver their product to market and frequently enter into firm transportation contracts to ensure that they will have sufficient capacity available to deliver their product to delivery points with greater market liquidity. Marketers and traders generate income from buying and selling crude oil and refined products to capitalize on price differentials over time or between markets. Our customer mix can vary over time and largely depends on the crude oil and refined products supply and demand dynamics in our markets.


Competition

Our pipeline systems compete primarily with other interstate and intrastate pipelines and with marine and rail transportation. Some of our competitors may expand or construct transportation systems that would create additional competition for the services we provide to our customers. For example, newly-constructed transportation systems in the onshore Gulf of Mexico region may increase competition in the markets where our pipelines operate. In addition, future pipeline transportation capacity could be constructed in excess of actual demand in the market areas we serve, which could reduce the demand for our services, in the market areas we serve, and could lead to the reduction of the rates that we receive for our services. While we do see some variation from quarter-to-quarter resulting from changes in our customers’ demand for transportation, we have historically been able to partially mitigate this risk is mitigated bywith the long-term, fixed rate basis upon which we have contracted a substantial portionlonger-term, fixed-rate nature of several of our capacity.contracts.


Our storage terminal competes with surrounding providers of storage tank services. Some of our competitors have expanded terminals and built new pipeline connections, and third parties may construct pipelines that bypass our location. These, or similar events, could have a material adverse impact on our operations.


Our refined products terminals generally compete with other terminals that serve the same markets. These terminals may be owned by major integrated oil and gas companies or by independent terminaling companies. While fees for terminal storage and throughput services are not regulated, they are subject to competition from other terminals serving the same markets. However, our contracts provide for stable, long-term revenue, which is not impacted by market competitive forces.

Regulation


Our assets are subject to regulation by various federal, state and local agencies.agencies; for example, our interstate common carrier pipeline systems are subject to economic regulation by the FERC. Intrastate pipeline systems are regulated by the appropriate state agency.


Under its current policy, FERC permits regulated interstate oilOn April 8, 2022, the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (“PHMSA”) published a new final rule titled “Required valve installation and minimum rupture detection standards.” This rule has amendments to both the liquid and gas pipelines, includingpipeline safety regulations around valve placement and rupture/leak detection. The majority of the requirements regarding valve placement and rupture detection in this new rule apply to new construction or pipeline replacements. There are some provisions around emergency response and emergency notifications that apply to all regulated lines. The rule is being reviewed to determine the impact to our operations, and an action plan will be created to adjust processes and procedures as needed for compliance with the rule.

We have a 16.125% ownership interest in Colonial, which owns and operates a pipeline that runs throughout the southern and eastern United States (the “Colonial pipeline”). On May 7, 2021, the computerized equipment managing the Colonial pipeline was the target of a cyberattack, and while Colonial proactively took certain systems offline to contain the threat, it paid a
ransom in the form of cryptocurrency to regain control of the equipment. For additional information about cybersecurity risks and the cybersecurity programs and protocols we have in place to protect against those ownedrisks, see Part I, Items 1 and 2. Business and Properties – Information Technology and Cyber-security and Item 1A. Risk Factors – IT/Cyber-security/Data Privacy/Terrorism Risks in our 2021 Annual Report.

In May 2021, the Transportation Security Administration (“TSA”) issued a security directive, their initial regulatory response to the Colonial pipeline ransomware attack. The first security directive requires pipeline owners and operators to report confirmed
30


and potential cybersecurity incidents to the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (“CISA”) within 12 hours of discovery, designate a cybersecurity coordinator to be available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, review current practices and identify any gaps and related remediation measures to address cyber-related risks and report the results to the TSA and CISA within 30 days.

In July 2021, the TSA issued a second security directive imposing additional obligations on owners and operators of TSA-designated critical pipelines. In addition to the requirements under the first directive, the second directive requires pipeline owners and operators to develop and implement specific mitigation measures to protect against ransomware attacks and other known threats to information technology and operational technology systems, and a cybersecurity contingency and recovery plan as well as to conduct cybersecurity assessments. We are in the process of reviewing these new directives.

On June 14, 2021, as part of the self-executing provisions of the Protecting our Infrastructure of Pipelines and Enhancing Safety Act of 2020, PHMSA published an advisory bulletin requiring operators to update inspection and maintenance plans to address eliminating hazardous leaks and minimizing releases of natural gas by master limited partnerships,December 27, 2021. This advisory bulletin is expected to have minimal impact on our operations but will require minor updates to our inspection and maintenance manuals.

In early 2021, PHMSA issued a revised map of the ecological High Consequence Areas (“HCAs”) in the Gulf of Mexico. This revised map expanded the ecological HCA of the Gulf of Mexico to include previously excluded dolphin and whale habitats. The HCA now encompasses most of the Gulf of Mexico. This places most liquid pipelines in the Gulf of Mexico in an HCA and subject to the assessment requirements of 49 CFR 195.452. This may impact certain operational activity such as the frequency at which certain inspections need to be performed and the types of inspections required at those intervals. The holistic impact to our business is uncertain at this time, but we expect that all companies with comparable Gulf of Mexico operations will be similarly impacted.

In May 2021, Zydeco, Mars and LOCAP filed with the FERC to decrease rates subject to the FERC’s indexing adjustment methodology that were previously at their ceiling levels by 0.5812% starting on July 1, 2021. On January 20, 2022, the FERC filed an order requiring carriers to recalculate their ceiling levels and file any necessary rate reductions to be effective March 1, 2022 using a revised formula. All the FERC ceiling levels were recalculated as directed and necessary rate reductions filed before the March 1 deadline.

Rate complaints are currently pending at the FERC in Docket Nos. OR18-7-002, et al. challenging Colonial’s tariff rates, its market power and its practices and charges related to transmix and product volume loss. A partial initial decision from the Administrative Law Judge was issued on December 1, 2021 finding that Colonial lacks the ability to exercise market power in the 90-county Gulf Coast geographic origin market, but no longer lacks the ability to exercise market power in the 16-county Tuscaloosa-Moundville geographic origin market. The partial initial decision also found that Colonial’s method of net recoveries of product loss is unjust and unreasonable and that Colonial should adopt a fixed allowance oil deduction for shortages in deliveries and determine the amount of reparations, if any, owed to shippers. This document is a recommendation to the FERC based on the facts surrounding the case, the law and FERC precedent. The FERC may decide to adopt the recommendations made or make different determinations. If the FERC adopts the partial initial decision in whole, in addition to the changes in product loss charges described above, which may adversely affect Colonial, Colonial’s rates in respect of the 16-county Tuscaloosa-Moundville geographic origin market will no longer be market-based and could be reduced. Subsequently, on April 27, 2022, the Administrative Law Judge issued a second partial initial decision related to Colonial’s ongoing FERC rate case addressing the issues not covered in the first partial initial decision issued on December 1, 2021. Colonial has begun to review the decision. The parties to the case will be filing briefs to argue for or against the recommendations, which will be considered by the FERC in its ruling. The timing of such ruling is unknown.

In 2020, the FERC commenced the five-year review of the oil pipeline rate index formula in Docket No. RM20-14-000. The FERC issued an initial order on December 17, 2020 adopting a new formula of PPI-FG plus 0.78% for the next five-year period commencing on July 1, 2021. On January 20, 2022, the FERC issued an order on rehearing revising the formula set in the December 17, 2020 order to PPI-FG minus 0.21%. The lower indexing adjustment resulted from the FERC adjusting the data set used to assess pipeline cost changes; taking into account the elimination of the income tax allowance inand previously accrued accumulated deferred income tax balances for MLP-owned pipelines; and using updated cost data for 2014. The rehearing order required pipelines to recalculate their cost of service used to calculate cost-based transportation rates. The allowance is intended to reflectrate ceiling levels using the actual or potential tax liability attributable toPPI-FG minus 0.21% formula for the regulated entity’s operating income, regardless of the form of ownership. Onperiod July 1, 2016, in United Airlines, Inc. v2021 to June 30, 2022. For any rate that exceeded the recalculated ceiling level, the pipeline was required to file a rate reduction with the FERC, to be effective March 1, 2022. A judicial appeal on the United StatesFERC’s order on rehearing has been filed with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C.Fifth Circuit vacated a pair of FERC orders to the extent they permitted an interstate refined petroleum products pipeline owned by a master limited partnership to include an income tax allowance in its cost-of-service-based rates. The D.C. Circuit held thatgroup of carriers. Similarly, a group of shippers filed a request for rehearing at the FERC, had failed to demonstrate thatand the inclusion of an income tax allowance in the pipeline’s rates would not lead to an over-recovery of costs attributable to regulated service. The D.C. Circuit instructed FERC on remand to fashion a remedy to ensure that the pipeline’s rates do not allow it to over-recover its costs. Following the D.C. Circuit’s decision, FERC issued a Notice of Inquiry on December 15, 2016tolling order to extend its time to consider the matter. The FERC filed a motion to hold the matter in Docket No. PL17-1-000 requesting comments regarding how to address any double recovery from FERC’s current income tax allowance and rate of return policies. Initial comments were filed on March 8, 2017, reply comments were filed on April 7, 2017, and certain parties subsequently filed additional comments. The outcome of this proceeding could affect FERC’s income tax allowance policy for cost-based rates charged by regulated pipelines going forward. Toabeyance at the extent that we charge cost-of-service based rates, those rates could be affected by any changes in FERC’s income tax allowance policy to the extent our rates are subject to complaint or challenge by FERC acting on its own initiative, or to the extent that we propose new cost-of-service rates or changes to our existing rates.

On October 20, 2016, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission issued an Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (“ANOPR”) in Docket No. RM17-1-000 regarding changes to the oil pipeline rate index methodology and data reportingFifth Circuit until it was ruled on the Page 700 of the FERC Form No. 6. In an effortrehearing request. We do not expect these rate recalculations to improve the Commission’s ability to ensure that oil pipeline rates are just and reasonable under the Interstate Commerce Act (“ICA”), the Commission is considering making the following changes to their current indexing methodologies for oil pipelines:have a material effect on our financial position, operating results or cash flows.

1)Deny index increases for any pipeline whose Form No. 6, Page 700 revenues exceed costs by 15% for both of the prior two years;

2)Deny index increases that exceed by 5% the cost changes reported on Page 700; and

3)Apply the new criteria to costs more closely associated with the pipeline’s proposed rates than with total company-wide costs and revenues now reported on Page 700.


Initial comments were filed on January 19, 2017, and reply comments were filed on March 17, 2017. We will continue to monitor developments in this area.

Acquisition Opportunities


We plan to continue to pursue acquisitions of complementary assets from SPLC and other subsidiaries of Shell, as well as from third parties. We also may pursue acquisitions jointly with SPLC. Given the size and scope of SPLC’s footprint and its significant ownership interest in us, we expect acquisitions from SPLC will be an important growth mechanism over the next few years. Neither SPLC nor any of its affiliates is under any obligation, however, to sell or offer to sell us additional assets or to pursue acquisitions jointly with us, and we are under no obligation to buy any additional assets from them or to pursue any joint acquisitions with them. We will continue to focus our acquisition strategy on transportation and midstream assets. We believe that we will be well positioned to acquire midstream assets from SPLC, other subsidiaries of Shell, and third parties should such opportunities arise. Identifying and executing acquisitions is a key part of our strategy. However, if we do not make acquisitions on economically acceptable terms or if we incur a substantial amount of debt in connection with the acquisitions, our future growth will be limited, and the acquisitions we do make may reduce, rather than increase, our available cash.

Seasonality

We do not expect our operations will be subject to significant seasonal variation in demand or supply.

Total revenue increaseddecreased by $12.5$4 million in the Current Quarter as compared to the Comparable Quarter comprised of $11.7 million attributable to lease revenue and $1.7 million related todecreases in transportation services revenue partially offset by a $0.9of $9 million decrease in storage revenue.

The increaseand in lease revenue was driven by a $11.7 million increase for Sand Dollar resulting from certain transportation services agreements entered into in May 2017 that are considered operating leases.

Despite the impact of Hurricane Harvey, transportation services revenue increased by $3.5 million for Zydeco primarily attributable to an increase in delivered volumes on the mainline, partially offset by decreases in expiring credits on committed transportation agreements. The increase in volumes was attributable to a new joint tariff agreement entered into in September 2016 with a connecting carrier and changes in certain customers’ sourcing strategies, partially offset by a decrease in non-mainline shipments due to the disposal of an interplant line in the April 2017 Divestiture. The increase was partially offset by a $1.8 million decrease for Pecten primarily driven by declining production volumes from certain wells, as well as shipper response to local market pricing changes on Auger.

Storage revenue decreased $0.9 million primarily related to a reduction in storage volume for Lockport.

Costs and Expenses

Total costs and expenses increased $13.4$1 million in the Current Quarter due to $12.6 million in operations and maintenance expenses and $1.0 million of higher property taxes due to changes in property tax appraisal estimates,versus the Comparable Quarter.

Operations and maintenance expenses increasedTransportation services revenue decreased for Pecten primarily due to higher project development and maintenance costs,lower deliveries from certain producers, as well as increased insurance costs for investment interests acquiredlower throughput on Odyssey as a result of higher maintenance activities from producers in the fourthCurrent Quarter. Additionally, there were lower deliveries from certain systems into Houma in the Current Quarter. These decreases were partially offset by higher revenue on Zydeco due to increased shipments on higher tariff routes in the Current Quarter, primarily as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic in the Comparable Quarter.
Lease revenue decreased as a result of the sale of the Anacortes Assets in the second quarter of 2016. Additionally, there is a net loss on pipeline operations related2021.
Product revenue increased by $5 million and relates to higher sales of allowance oil for certain of our onshore and offshore crude pipelines in the Current Quarter as compared to a net gain in the Comparable Quarter.

The increase in lease revenue was driven by a $19.4 million increase for Sand Dollar resulting from certain transportation services agreements entered into in May 2017 that are considered operating leases.

Transportation services revenue decreased by $18.7 million for Pecten primarily driven by the expiration of the surcharge on Auger rates related to the recovery of earlier improvements on the line, Auger extended planned maintenance activities at connected producer facilities and declining production volumes from certain wells, as well as shipper response to local market pricing changes on both Auger, Delta and Na Kika. This decrease was partially offset by a $5.8 million increase for Zydeco primarily attributable to an increase in delivered volumes on the mainline, despite the impact of Hurricane Harvey. The increase in volumes was attributable to a new joint tariff agreement entered into in September 2016 with a connecting carrier and changes in certain customers’ sourcing strategies, as well as a net increase in shipments on non-mainlines in the Current Period due to a variety of maintenance events at refineries in our destination markets in the Comparable Period.administrative expenses.

Capital Resources and Liquidity

We expect our ongoing sources of liquidity to include cash generated from operations, and borrowings under our credit facilities. In addition, wefacilities and our ability to access the capital markets. We believe this access to credit along with cash generated from operations will be sufficient to meet our short-term working capital requirements and long-term capital expenditure requirements and to make quarterly cash


distributions. Our liquidity as of September 30, 2017March 31, 2022 was $560.0$1,267 million, consisting of $171.9$251 million cash and cash equivalents and $388.1$1,016 million of available capacity under our credit facilities.

On June 30, 2021, Zydeco has entered into a termination of revolving loan facility agreement with Shell Treasury Center (West) Inc. (“STCW”) to terminate the 2019 Zydeco Revolver. Zydeco had not borrowed any funds under this facility, and therefore, no further obligations existed at the time of termination.

On March 16, 2021, we entered into a ten-year fixed rate credit facility with STCW with a borrowing capacity of $30.0$600 million (the “Zydeco Revolver”“2021 Ten Year Fixed Facility”). The 2021 Ten Year Fixed Facility bears an interest rate of 2.96% per annum and matures on March 16, 2031. The 2021 Ten Year Fixed Facility was fully drawn on March 23, 2021, and the borrowings were used to repay the borrowings under, and replace, the Five Year Fixed Facility. Refer to Note 5 – Related Party Debt in the Notes to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements in this report for additional information.


Borrowings under the Five Year Revolver due July 2023 and the ZydecoFive Year Revolver due December 2022 bear interest at the three-month LIBORLondon Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) rate plus a margin. margin or, in certain instances (including if LIBOR is discontinued), at an alternate interest rate as described in each respective revolver. LIBOR is being discontinued globally, and as such, a new benchmark will take its place. We are in discussion with our Parent to further clarify the reference rate(s) applicable to our revolving credit facilities once LIBOR is discontinued, and once determined, will assess the financial impact, if any.

Our weighted average interest rate for both the ninethree months ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2022 and 2016March 31, 2021 was 2.7% and 2.0%, respectively.3.1%. The weighted average interest rate includes drawn and undrawn interest fees, but does not consider the amortization of debt issuance costs or capitalized interest. A 1/8 percentage point (12.5 basis points) increase in the interest rate on the total variable rate debt of $495.0$744 million as of September 30, 2017March 31, 2022 would increase our consolidated annual interest expense by approximately $0.6$1 million. Our current interest rates for outstanding borrowings are 2.6% under our Five Year Revolver and 2.8% under the Zydeco Revolver. Borrowings under the Five Year Fixed Facility bear interest at 3.23% per annum.


The Five Year Revolver, the Five Year Fixed Facility and the Zydeco Revolver mature on October 31, 2019, March 1, 2022 and August 6, 2019, respectively. We will need to rely on the willingness and ability of our related party lender to secure additional debt, our ability to use cash from operations and/or obtain new debt from other sources to repay/refinance such loans when they come due and/or to secure additional debt as needed.

The 364-Day Revolver matured on March 1, 2017. There was no balance outstanding during the period.


As of September 30, 2017,March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we were in compliance with the covenants contained in the Five Year Revolverour credit facilities.

These decreases in cash flow used in financing activities were partially offset by lower net proceeds from public offerings, increased distributions paid to the unitholders and our general partner, higher credit facility issuance costs and decreased contributions from our general partnernon-controlling interests in the Current Period.Quarter, as well as a prepayment fee paid in the Comparable Quarter.


Capital Expenditures

and Investments
Our operations can be capital intensive, requiring investments to maintain, expand, upgrade or enhance existing operations and to meet environmental and operational regulations. Our capital requirements consist of maintenance capital expenditures and expansion capital expenditures. Examples of maintenance capital expenditures are those made to replace partially or fully


depreciated assets, to maintain the existing operating capacity of our assets and to extend their useful lives, or other capital expenditures that are incurred in maintaining existing system volumes and related cash flows. In contrast, expansion capital expenditures are those made to acquire additional assets to grow our business, to expand and upgrade our systems and facilities and to construct or acquire new systems or facilities. We regularly explore opportunities to improve service to our customers and maintain or increase our assets'assets’ capacity and revenue. We may incur substantial amounts of capital expenditures in certain periods in connection with large maintenance projects that are intended to only maintain our assets'assets’ capacity or revenue.


We incurred capital expenditures and investments of $37.0$2 million and $23.5$4 million for the Current PeriodCurrent Quarter and the Comparable Period, Quarter, respectively. The increasedecrease in capital expenditures isand investments in the Current Quarter as compared to the Comparable Quarter was primarily due to the directional drill project, the Houma tank expansion projecta decrease in capital contributions for Zydeco, and electrical improvements for Lockportour interest in the Current Period.Permian Basin.

Pecten had no expansion capital expenditures for the three months ended March 31, 2022, and we expect Pecten’s expansion capital expenditures to be approximately $3 million for the remainder of 2022. These expected expenditures relate to the intended expansion of the Lockport terminal and the potential expansion of the Auger corridor.

On December 1, 2014, we entered into a terminal services agreement with a related party in which we were to take possession of certain storage tanks located in Port Neches, Texas, effective December 1, 2015. On October 26, 2015, the terminal services agreement was amended to provide for an interim in-service period for the purposes of commissioning the tanks in which we paid a nominal monthly fee. Our capitalized costs and related capital lease obligation commenced effective December 1, 2015. Upon the in-service date of September 1, 2016, our monthly lease payment was increased to $0.4 million. In the eighteenth month after the in-service date, actual fixed and variable costs will be compared to premised costs. If the actual and premised operating costs differ by more than 5.0%, the lease will be adjusted accordingly and this adjustment will be effective forcontributions during the remainder of the lease. As part of the Motiva JV separation effective May 2017, Motiva is no longer a related party.2022.


On September 1, 2016, which is the in-service date of the capital lease for the Port Neches storage tanks, a joint tariff agreement with a third party became effective and requires monthly payments of approximately $0.4 million. The tariff will be analyzed annually and updated based on the FERC indexing adjustment to rates effective July 1 of each year. There was no FERC indexing adjustment to this rate effective July 1, 2017. The initial term of the agreement is ten years with automatic one year renewal terms with the option to cancel prior to each renewal period.






Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Environmental Matters and Compliance Costs

WeOur operations are subject to extensive and frequently changing federal, state and local laws, regulations and ordinances relating to the protection of the environment. Among other things, these laws and regulations govern the emission or discharge of pollutants into or onto the land, air and water, the handling and disposal of solid and hazardous wastes and the remediation of contamination. As with the industry in general, compliance with existing and anticipated environmental laws and regulations increases our overall cost of business, including our capital costs to construct, maintain, operate and upgrade equipment and facilities. While these laws and regulations affect our maintenance capital expenditures and net income, we believe they do not affect our competitive position, as the operations of our competitors are similarly affected. We believe our facilities are in substantial compliance with applicable environmental laws and regulations. TheseHowever, these laws which change frequently, regulateand regulations are subject to changes, or to changes in the dischargeinterpretation of materials into the environment or otherwise relate to protection of the environment. Compliancesuch laws and regulations, by regulatory authorities, and continued and future compliance with thesesuch laws and regulations may require us to obtainincur significant expenditures. Additionally, violation of environmental laws, regulations and permits can result in the imposition of significant administrative, civil and criminal penalties, injunctions limiting our operations, investigatory or other approvals to conduct regulated activities, remediate environmental damage from any dischargeremedial liabilities or construction bans or delays in the construction of petroleum or chemical substances from ouradditional facilities or install additional pollution control equipment on our equipment and facilities. Our failureequipment. Additionally, a release of hydrocarbons or hazardous substances into the environment could, to the extent the event is not insured, subject us to substantial expenses, including costs to comply with theseapplicable laws and regulations and to resolve claims by third parties for personal injury or any other environmentalproperty damage or safety-related regulationsclaims by the U.S. federal government or state governments for natural resources damages. These impacts could result in the assessment of administrative, civil or criminal penalties, the imposition of investigatorydirectly and remedial liabilities, and the issuance of injunctions that may subject us to additional operational constraints. For additional information, refer to FERC and State Common Carrier Regulations Part I, Items 1 and 2. Business and Properties in our 2016 Annual Report.

Future additional expenditures may be required to comply with the Clean Air Act and other federal, state and local requirements for our assets. These requirements could result in additional compliance costs and additional operating restrictions onindirectly affect our business each of which couldand have an adverse impact on our financial position, results of operations and liquidity.

Ifliquidity if we do not recover these expenditures through the rates and other fees we receive for our services, our operating results will be adversely affected.services. We believe that our competitors must comply with similar environmental laws and regulations. However, the specific impact on each competitor may vary depending on a number of factors, including, but not limited to, the type of competitor and location of its operating facilities. For additional information, refer to Environmental Matters, Items 1 and 2. Business and Properties in our 2021 Annual Report.


We accrue for environmental remediation activities when the responsibility to remediate is probable and the amount of associated costs can be reasonably estimated. As environmental remediation matters proceed toward ultimate resolution or as additional remediation obligations arise, charges in excess of those previously accrued may be required. New or expanded environmental requirements, which could increase our environmental costs, may arise in the future. We believe we substantially comply with all legal requirements regarding the environment, but sinceenvironment; however, as not all of themthe associated costs are fixed or presently determinable (even under existing legislation) and may be affected by future legislation or regulations, it is not possible to predict all of the ultimate costs of compliance, including remediation costs that may be incurred and penalties that may be imposed.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Market risk is the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in market rates and prices. The information about market risks for the three months ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2022 does not differ materially from that disclosed in the section entitled “Management’s“Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” in our 20162021 Annual Report, except as noted below.


Commodity Price Risk
With the exception of buy/sell arrangements on some of our offshore pipelines and our allowance oil retained, we do not take ownership of the crude oil or refined products that we transport and store for our customers, and we do not engage in the trading of any commodities. We therefore have limited direct exposure to risks associated with fluctuating commodity prices.

Our long-term transportation agreements and tariffs for crude oil shipments include pipeline loss allowance (“PLA”). The PLA provides additional revenue for us at a stated factor per barrel. If product losses on our pipelines are within the allowed levels, we retain the benefit; otherwise, we are required to compensate our customers for any product losses that exceed the allowed levels. We take title to any excess product that we transport when product losses are within the allowed level, and we sell that product several times per year at prevailing market prices. This allowance oil revenue, which accounted for approximately 8% and 5%, respectively, of our total revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2021, is subject to more volatility than transportation revenue, as it is directly dependent on our measurement capability and commodity prices. As a result, the income we realize under our loss allowance provisions will increase or decrease as a result of changes in the mix of product transported, measurement accuracy and underlying commodity prices. We do not intend to enter into any hedging agreements to mitigate our exposure to decreases in commodity prices through our loss allowances.

Interest Rate Risk

We are exposed to the risk of changes in interest rates, primarily as a result of variable rate borrowings under the Five Year Revolver.our revolving credit facilities. To the extent that interest rates increase, interest expense for the Five Year Revolverthese revolving credit facilities will also increase. As of September 30, 2017,March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Partnership had $495.0$744 million and $894 million, respectively, in outstanding variable rate borrowings under the Five Year Revolver.these revolving credit facilities. A hypothetical change of 12.5 basis points in the interest rate of our variable rate debt would impact the Partnership’s annual interest expense by approximately $0.6 million. As of December$1 million for both the three months ended March 31, 2016, the Partnership had $686.9 million in outstanding variable rate borrowings under the Five Year Revolver. A hypothetical change of 12.5 basis points in the2022 and March 31, 2021. We do not currently intend to enter into any interest rate ofhedging agreements, but will continue to monitor our variableinterest rate debt would impact the Partnership’s annual interest expense by approximately $0.9 million.exposure.


Our fixed rate debt does not expose us to fluctuations in our results of operations or liquidity from changes in market interest rates. Changes in interest rates do affect the fair value of our fixed rate debt. See Note 7-Related5 – Related Party Debt in the Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this report for further discussion of our borrowings and fair value measurements. 


Other Market Risks
We may also have risk associated with changes in policy or other actions taken by the FERC. Refer to Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Factors Affecting Our Business and Outlook – Regulation for additional information.

Item 5. Other Information


Disclosures Required Pursuant to Section 13(r) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934

In accordance with our General Business Principles and Code of Conduct, Shell Midstream Partners, L.P. seeks to comply with all applicable international trade laws, including applicable sanctions and embargoes.


Under the Iran Threat Reduction and Syria Human Rights Act of 2012, and Section 13(r) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), we are required to include certain disclosures in our periodic reports if we or any of our “affiliates” (as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act) knowingly engaged in certain specified activities during the period covered by the report. Because the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) defines the term “affiliate” broadly, it includes any entity controlled by us as well as any person or entity that controls us or is under common control with us.


The activities listed below have been conducted outside the U.S.United States by non-U.S. affiliates of Royal Dutch Shell plc that may be deemed to be under common control with us. The disclosure does not relate to any activities conducted directly by us, our subsidiaries or our general partner Shell Midstream Partners GP LLC (the “General Partner”), and does not involve our or the General Partner’sour general partner’s management.


For purposes of this disclosure, we refer to Royal Dutch Shell plc and its subsidiaries, other than us, our subsidiaries, the General Partnerour general partner and Shell Midstream LP Holdings LLC, as the “RDS Group”. References“Shell Group.” When not specifically identified, references to actions taken by the RDSShell Group mean actions taken by the applicable RDSShell Group company. None of the payments disclosed below waswere made in U.S. dollars, nor are any of the balances disclosed below held in U.S. dollars; however, for disclosure purposes, all have been converted into U.S. dollars at the appropriate exchange rate. We do not believe that any of the transactions or activities listed below violated U.S. sanctions.

At September 30, 2017, the RDS Group had a receivable of $10.5 million outstanding with the National Iranian Oil Company (NIOC) associated with its previous upstream activities conducted prior to the European Union sanctions.
In August 2017, the RDS Group entered into a technology license agreement with Petrochemical Industries Design and Engineering Company (PIDEC) to provide absorbent and related a license and engineering services to Abadan Oil Refinery Company in relation to CANSOLV SO2 scrubbing technology. In August 2017, the RDS Group signed an amendment to extend the term of the non-binding letter of intent, signed in 2016, with the National Iranian Petrochemical Company to cover a joint review of opportunities in the Iran petrochemicals sector. In August 2017, the RDS Group signed an amendment to extend the term of a memorandum of understanding and confidentiality agreement, signed in 2016, with NIOC to cover a joint review of a number of oil and gas opportunities. There have been no gross revenues or net profits associated with these agreements.



In December 2016, the RDS Group entered into a technology license agreement with Hamedan Ib Sina Petrochemical Company for a Shell ethylene process. During the third quarter 2017, the RDS Group had revenues of $6.3 million associated with this agreement. Hamedan Ib Sina Petrochemical Company payments were made into the RDS Group’s bank account with Karafarin Bank. The net profits associated with the license agreement are $0.2 million.

In July 2017, Shell Eastern Trading (Pte) Ltd (SETL), a member of the RDS Group, purchased one cargo of crude oil from NIOC for $96 million with payment made in September 2017. In September 2017, SETL purchased a cargo of Fuel Oil from NIOC for $26 million with payment due in October 2017. No profits have yet been recognized as the cargoes are still part of SETL inventory and are to be delivered/sold to an RDS Group refinery. The RDS Group intends to continue to consider business opportunities with NIOC, including the purchase and trading of crude oil.

The RDS Group maintains accounts with Bank Karafarin where its cash deposits (balance of $8.4 million at September 30, 2017) generated non-taxable interest income of $0.1 million in the third quarter of 2017, and the RDS Group paid $170 in bank charges. The RDS Group made payments amounting to $0.8 million through its bank account in Karafarin Bank.


During the secondfirst quarter of 2017,2022, the RDSShell Group paid $1,909 to the Iranian Civil Aviation Authority$162 for the clearance of overflight permits for RDSShell Group aircraft over Iranian airspace.airspace to Civil Aviation Organization (Iran). There was no gross revenue or net profit associated with these transactions. On occasion, RDSShell Group aircraft may be routed over Iran, and, therefore, these payments may continue in the future.


DuringThe Shell Group maintains accounts with Karafarin Bank where its cash deposits (balance of $5,640,775 at March 31, 2022) generated non-taxable interest income of $63,328, and it paid $2 for bank charges, in each case in the thirdfirst quarter of 2017, RDS2022. As the accounts with Karafarin Bank will be maintained by the Shell Group employees met with Iranian officials in Iran. In relationfor the foreseeable future, we expect that the receipt of non-taxable interest income and the payment of bank charges by the Shell Group to these travelling RDS Group employees, $3,955 was paid to Iranian authorities for visas, airport services and exit fees, $33 was paid to Bimeh Insurance Company for travel insurance, $856 was paid to Iranian airlines for flight tickets. The RDS Group also paid $127 to Iranian Authorities for legalization of documents. There was no gross revenue or net profit associated with these transactions. The RDS Group expects to continue discussions with Iranian officials and therefore similar payments may continue in the future.


In the third quarter of 2017, through RDS Group subsidiary Deheza S.A.I.C.F.el., the RDS Group provided downstream retail services to the Iranian Embassy in Argentina. This transaction generated gross revenue of $87 and an estimated net profit of $12. The RDS Group has no contractual agreement with this embassy.
