Note 1.  Partnership Organization and Operations

We are a publicly traded Delaware limited partnership, the common units of which are listed on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) under the ticker symbol “EPD.”  Our preferred units are not publicly traded.  We were formed in April 1998 to own and operate certain natural gas liquids (“NGLs”) related businesses of EPCO and are a leading North American provider of midstream energy services to producers and consumers of natural gas, NGLs, crude oil, petrochemicals and refined products.  We are owned by our limited partners (preferred and common unitholders) from an economic perspective.  Enterprise GP, which owns a non-economic general partner interest in us, manages our Partnership.  We conduct substantially all of our business operations through EPO and its consolidated subsidiaries.

Our fully integrated, midstream energy asset network (or “value chain”) links producers of natural gas, NGLs and crude oil from some of the largest supply basins in the United States (“U.S.”), Canada and the Gulf of Mexico with domestic consumers and international markets.  Our midstream energy operations include:

natural gas gathering, treating, processing, transportation and storage;

NGL transportation, fractionation, storage, and marine terminals (including those used to export liquefied petroleum gases, or “LPG,” and ethane);

crude oil gathering, transportation, storage, and marine terminals;

propylene production facilities (including propane dehydrogenation (“PDH”) facilities), butane isomerization, octane enhancement, isobutane dehydrogenation (“iBDH”) and high purity isobutylene (“HPIB”) production facilities;

petrochemical and refined products transportation, storage, and marine terminals (including those used to export ethylene and polymer grade propylene (“PGP”)); and

a marine transportation business that operates on key U.S. inland and intracoastal waterway systems. 

Like many publicly traded partnerships, we have no employees.  All of our management, administrative and operating functions are performed by employees of EPCO pursuant to an administrative services agreement (the “ASA”) or by other service providers.  See Note 15 for information regarding related party matters.

Our results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of results expected for the full year of 2022.  In our opinion, the accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include all adjustments consisting of normal recurring accruals necessary for fair presentation.  Although we believe the disclosures in these financial statements are adequate and make the information presented not misleading, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

These Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the Audited Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto included in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021  (the “2021 Form 10-K”) filed with the SEC on February 28, 2022.

Note 2.  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Apart from those matters described in this footnote, there have been no updates to our significant accounting policies since those reported under Note 2 of the 2021 Form 10-K.

Allowance for Credit Losses

We estimate our allowance for credit losses at each reporting date using a current expected credit loss model, which requires the measurement of expected credit losses for financial assets (e.g., accounts receivable) based on historical experience with customers, current economic conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts.  We may also increase the allowance for credit losses in response to the specific identification of customers involved in bankruptcy proceedings and similar financial difficulties.

The following table presents our allowance for credit losses activity since December 31, 2021:

Plants, pipelines and facilities include processing plants; NGL, natural gas, crude oil and petrochemical and refined products pipelines; terminal loading and unloading facilities; buildings; office furniture and equipment; laboratory and shop equipment and related assets.
(2)
Underground and other storage facilities include underground product storage caverns; above ground storage tanks; water wells and related assets.
(3)
Transportation equipment includes tractor-trailer tank trucks and other vehicles and similar assets used in our operations.
(4)
Marine vessels include tow boats, barges and related equipment used in our marine transportation business.
(5)
In general, the estimated useful lives of major assets within this category are: processing plants, 20-35 years; pipelines and related equipment, 5-45 years; terminal facilities, 10-35 years; buildings, 20-40 years; office furniture and equipment, 3-20 years; and laboratory and shop equipment, 5-35 years.
(6)
In general, the estimated useful lives of assets within this category are: underground storage facilities, 5-35 years; storage tanks, 10-40 years; and water wells, 5-35 years.
(7)
For reaction-based plants, we use the deferral method when accounting for major maintenance activities.  Under the deferral method, major maintenance costs are capitalized and amortized over the period until the next major overhaul project.  On a weighted-average basis, the expected amortization period for these costs is 1.8 years.

Property, plant and equipment at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 includes $114 million and $81 million, respectively, of asset retirement costs capitalized as an increase in the associated long-lived asset.

Depreciation and accretion expense is a component of “Costs and expenses” as presented on our Unaudited Condensed Statements of Consolidated Operations.
(2)
We capitalize interest costs incurred on funds used to construct property, plant and equipment while the asset is in its construction phase.  The capitalized interest is recorded as part of the asset to which it relates and is amortized over the asset’s estimated useful life as a component of depreciation expense.  When capitalized interest is recorded, it reduces interest expense from what it would be otherwise.

Variable Interest Rates

The following table presents the range of interest rates and weighted-average interest rates paid on our consolidated variable-rate debt during the six months ended June 30, 2022:

Range of Interest

0.20% to 1.85%
0.72%

2.95% to 4.36%
3.36%

Amounts borrowed under EPO’s September 2021 364-Day Revolving Credit Agreement and September 2021 Multi-Year Revolving Credit Agreement bear interest, at EPO’s election, equal to: (i) LIBOR, plus an additional variable spread; or (ii) an alternate base rate, which is the greatest of (a) the Prime Rate in effect on such day, (b) the Federal Funds Effective Rate in effect on such day plus 0.5%, or (c) LIBOR for an interest period of one month in effect on such day plus 1%, and a variable spread. The applicable spreads are determined based on EPO's debt ratings.

In July 2017, the Financial Conduct Authority in the U.K. announced a desire to phase out LIBOR as a benchmark by the end of June 2023. Financial industry working groups are developing replacement rates and methodologies to transition existing agreements that depend on LIBOR as a reference rate.  We currently do not expect the transition from LIBOR to have a material financial impact on us.

In February 2022, EPO repaid all of the $750 million and $650 million in principal amount of its Senior Notes VV and CC, respectively, using remaining cash on hand attributable to its September 2021 senior notes offering and proceeds from the issuance of short-term notes under its commercial paper program.

March 2022 Delayed Draw Term Loan Agreement

On March 1, 2022, EPO entered into a delayed draw term loan agreement (the “March 2022 Delayed Draw Term Loan Agreement”). Under the terms of the March 2022 Delayed Draw Term Loan Agreement, EPO could have borrowed up to an aggregate of $500 million by April 30, 2022 at a variable interest rate based on EPO’s senior debt credit rating.  However, because EPO elected not to borrow under the facility by April 30, 2022, the March 2022 Delayed Draw Term Loan Agreement automatically terminated at that date in accordance with its terms.

Expected Renewal of September 2021 364-Day Revolving Credit Agreement

EPO’s September 2021 364-Day Revolving Credit Agreement is scheduled to mature in September 2022.  As a result, EPO expects to renew this credit agreement during the third quarter of 2022.  At June 30, 2022, there were no principal amounts outstanding under the September 2021 364-Day Revolving Credit Agreement.

Partial Redemption of Junior Subordinated Notes D

On August 1, 2022, EPO called for redemption $350 million of the $700 million outstanding principal amount of its Junior Subordinated Notes D.  The redemption date for such notes is August 31, 2022.  These notes are redeemable at EPO’s election on or after August 16, 2022 at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes being redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but not including, the redemption date.  The redemption is expected to be made using cash on hand and proceeds from the issuance of short-term notes under EPO’s commercial paper program.

Letters of Credit

At June 30, 2022, EPO had $117 million of letters of credit outstanding primarily related to our commodity hedging activities.

Lender Financial Covenants

We were in compliance with the financial covenants of our consolidated debt agreements at June 30, 2022.

Parent-Subsidiary Guarantor Relationships

The Partnership acts as guarantor of the consolidated debt obligations of EPO, with the exception of the remaining debt obligations of TEPPCO.  If EPO were to default on any of its guaranteed debt, the Partnership would be responsible for full and unconditional repayment of such obligations.

Registration Statements
We have a universal shelf registration statement on file with the SEC which allows the Partnership and EPO (each on a standalone basis) to issue an unlimited amount of equity and debt securities, respectively.

In addition, the Partnership has a registration statement on file with the SEC covering the issuance of up to $2.5 billion of its common units in amounts, at prices and on terms based on market conditions and other factors at the time of such offerings (referred to as the Partnership’s at-the-market (“ATM”) program).  The Partnership did not issue any common units under its ATM program during the six months ended June 30, 2022.  The Partnership’s capacity to issue additional common units under the ATM program remains at $2.5 billion as of June 30, 2022.

We may issue additional equity and debt securities to assist us in meeting our future liquidity requirements, including those related to capital investments.

Common Unit Repurchases Under 2019 Buyback Program
In January 2019, we announced that the Board of Enterprise GP had approved a $2.0 billion multi-year unit buyback program (the “2019 Buyback Program”), which provides the Partnership with an additional method to return capital to investors. The 2019 Buyback Program authorizes the Partnership to repurchase its common units from time to time, including through open market purchases and negotiated transactions.  No time limit has been set for completion of the program, and it may be suspended or discontinued at any time.

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

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, the Partnership repurchased 1,408,121 common units under the 2019 Buyback Program through open market purchases.  The total cost of these repurchases, including commissions and fees, was $35 million.  During the six months ended June 30, 2021, the Partnership repurchased 709,816 common units under the 2019 Buyback Program through open market purchases.  The total cost of these repurchases, including commissions and fees, was $14 million.  Common units repurchased under the 2019 Buyback Program are immediately cancelled upon acquisition.  At June 30, 2022, the remaining available capacity under the 2019 Buyback Program was $1.5 billion.

Common Units Issued in Connection With the Vesting of Phantom Unit Awards
After taking into account tax withholding requirements, the Partnership issued 4,255,564 new common units to employees in connection with the vesting of phantom unit awards during the six months ended June 30, 2022.  See Note 13 for information regarding our phantom unit awards.

Common Units Delivered Under DRIP and EUPP
The Partnership has registration statements on file with the SEC in connection with its distribution reinvestment plan (“DRIP”) and employee unit purchase plan (“EUPP”). In July 2019, the Partnership announced that, beginning with the quarterly distribution payment paid in August 2019, it would use common units purchased on the open market, rather than issuing new common units, to satisfy its delivery obligations under the DRIP and EUPP.  This election is subject to change in future quarters depending on the Partnership’s need for equity capital.

During the six months ended June 30, 2022, agents of the Partnership purchased 3,240,990 common units on the open market and delivered them to participants in the DRIP and EUPP.  Apart from $1 million attributable to the plan discount available to all participants in the EUPP, the funds used to effect these purchases were sourced from the DRIP and EUPP participants.  No other Partnership funds were used to satisfy these obligations.  We plan to use open market purchases to satisfy DRIP and EUPP reinvestments in connection with the distribution expected to be paid on August 12, 2022.

Preferred Units

There were 50,412 of our Series A Cumulative Convertible Preferred Units (“preferred units”) outstanding at June 30, 2022.

We present the capital accounts attributable to our preferred unitholders as mezzanine equity on our consolidated balance sheets since the terms of the preferred units allow for cash redemption by such unitholders in the event of a Change of Control (as defined in our partnership agreement), without regard to the likelihood of such an event.

During the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Partnership made quarterly cash distributions to its preferred unitholders of $2 million.

Cash Distributions

On July 7, 2022, we announced that the Board declared a quarterly cash distribution of $0.4750 per common unit, or $1.90 per common unit on an annualized basis, to be paid to the Partnership’s common unitholders with respect to the second quarter of 2022.  The quarterly distribution is payable on August 12, 2022 to unitholders of record as of the close of business on July 29, 2022.  The total amount to be paid is $1.04 billion, which includes $9 million for distribution equivalent rights (“DERs”) on phantom unit awards.

The payment of quarterly cash distributions is subject to management’s evaluation of our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows in connection with such payments and Board approval.  Management will evaluate any future increases in cash distributions on a quarterly basis.

Unbilled revenues are transferred to accounts receivable once we have an unconditional right to consideration from the customer.  Deferred revenues are recognized as revenue upon satisfaction of our performance obligation to the customer.
(2)
Unbilled revenue represents revenue that has been recognized upon satisfaction of a performance obligation, but cannot be contractually invoiced (or billed) to the customer at the balance sheet date until a future period.  Deferred revenue is recorded when payment is received from a customer prior to our satisfaction of the associated performance obligation.

Remaining Performance Obligations

Note 10.  Business Segments and Related Information

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

Financial information regarding these segments is evaluated regularly by our co-chief operating decision makers in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing our operating and financial performance.  The co-principal executive officers of our general partner have been identified as our co-chief operating decision makers.  While these two officers evaluate results in a number of different ways, the business segment structure is the primary basis for which the allocation of resources and financial results are assessed.

The following information summarizes the assets and operations of each business segment:

Our NGL Pipelines & Services business segment includes our natural gas processing and related NGL marketing activities, NGL pipelines, NGL fractionation facilities, NGL and related product storage facilities, and NGL marine terminals.

Our Crude Oil Pipelines & Services business segment includes our crude oil pipelines, crude oil storage and marine terminals, and related crude oil marketing activities.

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

Our Natural Gas Pipelines & Services business segment includes our natural gas pipeline systems that provide for the gathering, treating and transportation of natural gas.  This segment also includes our natural gas marketing activities.

Our Petrochemical & Refined Products Services business segment includes our (i) propylene production facilities, which include propylene fractionation units and a PDH facility, and related pipelines and marketing activities, (ii) butane isomerization complex and related deisobutanizer operations, (iii) octane enhancement, iBDH and HPIB production facilities, (iv) refined products pipelines, terminals and related marketing activities, (v) ethylene export terminal and related operations; and (vi) marine transportation business.

Segment Gross Operating Margin

We evaluate segment performance based on our financial measure of gross operating margin.  Gross operating margin is an important performance measure of the core profitability of our operations and forms the basis of our internal financial reporting.  We believe that investors benefit from having access to the same financial measures that our management uses in evaluating segment results.  Gross operating margin is exclusive of other income and expense transactions, income taxes, the cumulative effect of changes in accounting principles and extraordinary charges.  Gross operating margin is presented on a 100% basis before any allocation of earnings to noncontrolling interests. Our calculation of gross operating margin may or may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.

The following table presents our measurement of total segment gross operating margin for the periods presented.  The GAAP financial measure most directly comparable to total segment gross operating margin is operating income.

(1)
Excludes amortization of major maintenance costs for reaction-based plants, which are a component of gross operating margin.
(2)
Since make-up rights entail a future performance obligation by the pipeline to the shipper, these receipts are recorded as deferred revenue for GAAP purposes; however, these receipts are included in gross operating margin in the period of receipt since they are nonrefundable to the shipper.
(3)
As deferred revenues attributable to make-up rights are subsequently recognized as revenue under GAAP, gross operating margin must be adjusted to remove such amounts to prevent duplication since the associated non-refundable payments were previously included in gross operating margin.

Gross operating margin by segment is calculated by subtracting segment operating costs and expenses from segment revenues, with both segment totals reflecting the adjustments noted in the preceding table, as applicable, and before the elimination of intercompany transactions.  The following table presents gross operating margin by segment for the periods indicated:

Represents the cost of operating our plants, pipelines and other fixed assets excluding: depreciation, amortization and accretion charges; asset impairment charges; and net losses attributable to asset sales and related matters.

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

Note 12.  Business Combinations

On February 17, 2022, an affiliate of Enterprise acquired all of the member interests in Navitas Midstream Partners, LLC (Navitas Midstream) for $3.2 billion in cash.  We funded the cash consideration using proceeds from the issuance of short-term notes under our commercial paper program and cash on hand.

Navitas Midstream's assets (the “Midland Basin System”) include approximately 1,750 miles of pipelines and over 1.0 Bcf/d of cryogenic natural gas processing capacity. The acquired business expands our natural gas processing and NGL businesses to the Midland Basin in West Texas.

The acquisition of Navitas Midstream was accounted for under the acquisition method in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations.  The preliminary allocation of purchase consideration was based upon the estimated fair value of the tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the acquisition.  The preliminary allocation was made to major categories of assets and liabilities based on management’s best estimates and supported by an independent third-party analysis.

The following table presents the preliminary fair value allocation of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the acquisition at February 17, 2022 (the effective date of the acquisition).  The allocation is provisional and subject to ongoing efforts to clarify the values assigned to tangible and identifiable intangible assets.

Assumed liabilities primarily include accounts payable, other current liabilities, lease liabilities and asset retirement obligations.  Acquired other assets primarily include accounts receivable, other current assets and right-of-use (“ROU”) assets.  None of these amounts were considered individually significant.

The estimated fair value of the acquired property, plant and equipment was determined using the cost approach.  The fair value of property, plant and equipment primarily consisted of personal property of $1.6 billion, real property of $250 million and construction in progress of $175 million.  See Note 4 for additional information regarding our property, plant and equipment.

The contract-based intangible asset represents the estimated value we assigned to the acquired long-term contracts with customers that dedicate future lease production to our system.  The estimated fair value of the acquired contract-based intangible assets was determined using an income approach, specifically a discounted cash flow analysis.  The fair value estimate incorporates Level 3 inputs including: (i) management’s long-term forecast of cash flows generated by the Midland Basin System based on the estimated economic life of the hydrocarbon resource basin served and resource depletion rates; and (ii) a discount rate of 15.5%, which is based on a benchmarking analysis with reference to the implied rate of return on the Navitas Midstream acquisition and a market participant weighted average cost of capital.  We will amortize the value assigned to this intangible asset using a units-of-production method.  The estimated useful life of the acquired contract-based intangible asset is 30 years.

We recorded $159 million of goodwill in connection with this transaction.  In general, we attribute this goodwill to our ability to leverage the acquired business with our existing NGL asset base to create future business opportunities.

The financial results for the processing activities of the acquired business will continue to be reported under the NGL Pipelines & Services business segment and the gathering activities will continue to be reported under the Natural Gas Pipelines & Services business segment.

The contribution of this newly acquired business to our consolidated revenues and net income was not material during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022.  Additionally, acquisition related costs were not material during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022.

On a historical pro forma basis, our revenues, costs and expenses, operating income, net income attributable to common unitholders and earnings per unit for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 would not have differed materially from those we actually reported had the acquisition been completed on January 1, 2021 rather than February 17, 2022.

The fair value of equity-classified awards is amortized to earnings over the requisite service or vesting period.  Equity-classified awards are expected to result in the issuance of the Partnership’s common units upon vesting.  

Phantom Unit Awards

Subject to customary forfeiture provisions, phantom unit awards allow recipients to acquire the Partnership’s common units once a defined vesting period expires (at no cost to the recipient apart from fulfilling required service and other conditions).  The following table presents phantom unit award activity for the period indicated:

Determined by dividing the aggregate grant date fair value of awards (before an allowance for forfeitures) by the number of awards issued.
(2)
The aggregate grant date fair value of phantom unit awards issued during 2022 was $192 million based on a grant date market price of the Partnership’s common units ranging from $24.10 to $25.61 per unit.  An estimated annual forfeiture rate of 2.0% was applied to these awards.

Each phantom unit award includes a DER, which entitles the participant to nonforfeitable cash payments equal to the product of the number of phantom unit awards outstanding for the participant and the cash distribution per common unit paid by the Partnership to its common unitholders.  Cash payments made in connection with DERs are charged to partners’ equity when the phantom unit award is expected to result in the issuance of common units; otherwise, such amounts are expensed.

For the EPCO group of companies, the unrecognized compensation cost associated with phantom unit awards was $238 million at June 30, 2022, of which our share of such cost is currently estimated to be $197 million.  Due to the graded vesting provisions of these awards, we expect to recognize our share of the unrecognized compensation cost for these awards over a weighted-average period of 2.1 years.

Profits Interest Awards

EPCO has two limited partnerships (referred to as “Employee Partnerships”) that serve as long-term incentive arrangements for key employees of EPCO by providing them a profits interest in one or more of the Employee Partnerships.  At June 30, 2022, our share of the total unrecognized compensation cost related to the Employee Partnerships was $7 million, which we expect to recognize over a weighted-average period of 1.4 years.


Note 14.  Hedging Activities and Fair Value Measurements

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

Interest Rate Hedging Activities

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

We do not have any interest rate derivative instruments outstanding at June 30, 2022.

Commodity Hedging Activities

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

At June 30, 2022, our predominant commodity hedging strategies consisted of (i) hedging anticipated future purchases and sales of commodity products associated with transportation, storage and blending activities, (ii) hedging natural gas processing margins and (iii) hedging the fair value of commodity products held in inventory.

Derivative assets and liabilities recorded on our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets are presented on a gross-basis and determined at the individual transaction level.  The tabular presentation above provides a means for comparing the gross amount of derivative assets and liabilities, excluding associated accounts payable and receivable, to the net amount that would likely be receivable or payable under a default scenario based on the existence of rights of offset in the respective derivative agreements.  Any cash collateral paid or received is reflected in these tables, but only to the extent that it represents variation margins.  Any amounts associated with derivative prepayments or initial margins that are not influenced by the derivative asset or liability amounts or those that are determined solely on their volumetric notional amounts are excluded from these tables.

Fair Value Measurements

The following tables set forth, by level within the Level 1, 2 and 3 fair value hierarchy, the carrying values of our financial assets and liabilities at the dates indicated.  These assets and liabilities are measured on a recurring basis and are classified based on the lowest level of input used to estimate their fair value.  Our assessment of the relative significance of such inputs requires judgment.

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

Other Fair Value Information

The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents (including restricted cash balances), accounts receivable, commercial paper notes and accounts payable approximate their fair values based on their short-term nature.  The estimated total fair value of our fixed-rate debt obligations was $25.7 billion and $33.5 billion at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.  The aggregate carrying value of these debt obligations was $28.2 billion and $29.6 billion at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.  These values are primarily based on quoted market prices for such debt or debt of similar terms and maturities (Level 2) and our credit standing.  Changes in market rates of interest affect the fair value of our fixed-rate debt.  The carrying values of our variable-rate long-term debt obligations approximate their fair values since the associated interest rates are market-based.  We do not have any long-term investments in debt or equity securities recorded at fair value.

Relationship with EPCO and Affiliates

We have an extensive and ongoing relationship with EPCO and its privately held affiliates (including Enterprise GP, our general partner), which are not a part of our consolidated group of companies.  

At June 30, 2022, EPCO and its privately held affiliates (including Dan Duncan LLC and certain Duncan family trusts) beneficially owned the following limited partner interests in us:

Of the total number of Partnership common units held by EPCO and its privately held affiliates, 92,976,464 have been pledged as security under the separate credit facilities of EPCO and its privately held affiliates at June 30, 2022.  These credit facilities contain customary and other events of default, including defaults by us and other affiliates of EPCO.  An event of default, followed by a foreclosure on the pledged collateral, could ultimately result in a change in ownership of these units and affect the market price of the Partnership’s common units.

The Partnership and Enterprise GP are both separate legal entities apart from each other and apart from EPCO and its other affiliates, with assets and liabilities that are also separate from those of EPCO and its other affiliates.  EPCO and its privately held affiliates depend on the cash distributions they receive from us and other investments to fund their other activities and to meet their respective debt obligations.  During the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, we paid EPCO and its privately held affiliates cash distributions totaling $632 million and $612 million, respectively.

We have no employees.  All of our administrative and operating functions are provided either by employees of EPCO (pursuant to the ASA) or by other service providers.  We and our general partner are parties to the ASA.  The following table presents our related party costs and expenses attributable to the ASA with EPCO for the periods indicated:

We lease office space from privately held affiliates of EPCO at rental rates that approximate market rates.  For each of the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, we recognized $4 million of related party operating lease expense in connection with these office space leases.  For each of the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, we recognized $7 million of related party operating lease expense in connection with these office space leases.

Note 17.  Commitments and Contingent Liabilities

Litigation

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

There were no accruals for litigation contingencies at June 30, 2022.  Our accruals for litigation contingencies were immaterial at December 31, 2021.  We have classified our accruals for litigation contingencies in our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as a component of “Other current liabilities” or “Other long-term liabilities” based on management’s estimate regarding the timing of settlement.

PDH 1 Litigation
In July 2013, we executed a contract with Foster Wheeler USA Corporation (“Foster Wheeler”) pursuant to which Foster Wheeler was to serve as the general contractor responsible for the engineering, procurement, construction and installation of our first propane dehydrogenation facility (“PDH 1”).  In November 2014, Foster Wheeler was acquired by an affiliate of AMEC plc to form Amec Foster Wheeler plc, and Foster Wheeler is now known as Amec Foster Wheeler USA Corporation (“AFW”).  In December 2015, Enterprise and AFW entered into a transition services agreement under which AFW was partially terminated from the PDH 1 project.  In December 2015, Enterprise engaged a second contractor, Optimized Process Designs LLC, to complete the construction and installation of PDH 1.

On September 2, 2016, we terminated AFW for cause and filed a lawsuit in the 151st Judicial Civil District Court of Harris County, Texas against AFW and its parent company, Amec Foster Wheeler plc, asserting claims for breach of contract, breach of warranty, fraudulent inducement, string-along fraud, gross negligence, professional negligence, negligent misrepresentation and attorneys’ fees.  Trial for the case began on April 19, 2022, and closing arguments were completed on July 22, 2022.  We intend to diligently prosecute these claims and seek all direct, consequential, and exemplary damages to which we may be entitled.

Contractual Obligations

Scheduled Maturities of Debt
We have long-term and short-term payment obligations under debt agreements.  In total, the principal amount of our consolidated debt obligations were $29.1 billion and $29.8 billion at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.  See Note 7 for additional information regarding our scheduled future maturities of debt principal.

Overview of Business

We are a publicly traded Delaware limited partnership, the common units of which are listed on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) under the ticker symbol “EPD.”  Our preferred units are not publicly traded.  We were formed in April 1998 to own and operate certain natural gas liquids (“NGLs”) related businesses of EPCO and are a leading North American provider of midstream energy services to producers and consumers of natural gas, NGLs, crude oil, petrochemicals and refined products.  We are owned by our limited partners (preferred and common unitholders) from an economic perspective.  Enterprise GP, which owns a non-economic general partner interest in us, manages our Partnership.  We conduct substantially all of our business operations through EPO and its consolidated subsidiaries.

Our fully integrated, midstream energy asset network (or “value chain”) links producers of natural gas, NGLs and crude oil from some of the largest supply basins in the U.S., Canada and the Gulf of Mexico with domestic consumers and international markets.  Our midstream energy operations include:

natural gas gathering, treating, processing, transportation and storage;

NGL transportation, fractionation, storage, and marine terminals (including those used to export liquefied petroleum gases (“LPG”) and ethane);

crude oil gathering, transportation, storage, and marine terminals;

propylene production facilities (including propane dehydrogenation (“PDH”) facilities), butane isomerization, octane enhancement, isobutane dehydrogenation (“iBDH”) and high purity isobutylene (“HPIB”) production facilities;

petrochemical and refined products transportation, storage, and marine terminals (including those used to export ethylene and polymer grade propylene (“PGP”)); and

a marine transportation business that operates on key U.S. inland and intracoastal waterway systems. 

The safe operation of our assets is a top priority.  We are committed to protecting the environment and the health and safety of the public and those working on our behalf by conducting our business activities in a safe and environmentally responsible manner.  For additional information, see “Environmental, Safety and Conservation” within the Regulatory Matters section of Part I, Items 1 and 2 of the 2021 Form 10-K.

Like many publicly traded partnerships, we have no employees.  All of our management, administrative and operating functions are performed by employees of EPCO pursuant to an administrative services agreement (the “ASA”) or by other service providers.


Our financial position, results of operations and cash flows are subject to certain risks. For information regarding such risks, see “Risk Factors” included under Part I, Item 1A of the 2021 Form 10-K and Part II, Item 1A of this quarterly report.

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

Recent Developments

Enterprise Announces Three Expansions in the Permian Basin

In August 2022, we announced three new projects to support ongoing production growth in the Permian Basin, which are all expected to be completed during the first half of 2024.  The announcement included the following projects (including their respective scheduled completion dates):

our Plant 7 natural gas processing plant in the Midland Basin (first quarter of 2024);

our Mentone III cryogenic natural gas processing plant (first quarter of 2024); and

a 275 MBPD expansion of our Shin Oak NGL Pipeline (first half of 2024).

Enterprise and OLCV Sign Letter of Intent for Gulf Coast CO2 Transportation and Sequestration Project

In April 2022, Enterprise and Oxy Low Carbon Ventures, LLC (“OLCV”), a subsidiary of Occidental, announced that we have executed a letter of intent to work toward a potential carbon dioxide (“CO2”) transportation and sequestration solution for the Texas Gulf Coast.  The joint project would initially be focused on providing services to emitters in the industrial corridors from the greater Houston to Beaumont/Port Arthur areas.  The initiative would combine Enterprise’s leadership position in the midstream energy sector with OLCV’s extensive experience in subsurface characterization and COsequestration.

Enterprise would develop the CO2 aggregation and transportation network utilizing a combination of new and existing pipelines along its expansive Gulf Coast footprint. OLCV, through its 1PointFive business unit, is developing sequestration hubs on the Gulf Coast and across the U.S., some of which are expected to be anchored by direct air capture facilities. The hubs will provide access to high quality pore space and efficient transportation infrastructure, bringing more options to emitters looking to explore viable carbon management strategies.  Enterprise and OLCV have begun exploring the commercialization of the potential joint service offering with customers.


Enterprise Announces Seven New Projects During Analyst and Investor Day

On April 12, 2022, Enterprise hosted a meeting with securities analysts and investors where we announced seven new projects that we expect will be completed by 2025.  The announced projects included the following (including their respective scheduled completion dates):

a 400 MMcf/d expansion of our Acadian Gas System (second quarter of 2023);

our Plant 6 natural gas processing plant in the Midland Basin (second quarter of 2023);

a twelfth NGL fractionator (“Frac XII”) in Chambers County, Texas (third quarter of 2023);

our Mentone II cryogenic natural gas processing plant (fourth quarter of 2023);

our Texas Western Products System, created by repurposing a portion of our Mid-America Pipeline System’s Rocky Mountain segment and adding westbound service to our Chaparral Pipeline business to transport refined products from the U.S. Gulf Coast to markets in West Texas, New Mexico, Colorado and Utah (fourth quarter of 2023);

an Ethane Terminal located along the coast between Corpus Christi, Texas and New Orleans, Louisiana (2025); and

an expansion of our Morgan’s Point terminal to increase ethylene export capacity (2023 and 2025).

Enterprise Announces Acquisition of Navitas Midstream

In January 2022, we announced that an affiliate of Enterprise entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Navitas Midstream Partners, LLC (“Navitas Midstream”) from an affiliate of Warburg Pincus LLC in a debt-free transaction for $3.25 billion in cash consideration (subject to adjustment in accordance with the agreement). Navitas Midstream’s assets include approximately 1,750 miles of pipelines and over 1.0 Bcf/d of cryogenic natural gas processing capacity. The purchase price was paid in cash at closing on February 17, 2022. We funded the cash consideration for this acquisition using proceeds from the issuance of short-term notes under our commercial paper program and cash on hand.  See Note 12 of the Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included under Part I, Item 1 of this quarterly report for additional information regarding this acquisition.

The “Indicative Gas Processing Gross Spread” represents our generic estimate of the gross economic benefit from extracting NGLs from natural gas production based on certain pricing assumptions.  Specifically, it is the amount by which the assumed economic value of a composite gallon of NGLs in Chambers County, Texas exceeds the value of the equivalent amount of energy in natural gas at Henry Hub, Louisiana. Our estimate of the indicative spread does not consider the operating costs incurred by a natural gas processing facility to extract the NGLs nor the transportation and fractionation costs to deliver the NGLs to market.   In addition, the actual gas processing spread earned at each plant is further influenced by regional pricing and extraction dynamics.

The weighted-average indicative market price for NGLs was $1.06 per gallon in the second quarter of 2022 versus $0.64 per gallon in the second quarter of 2021.  Likewise, the weighted-average indicative market price for NGLs was $1.01 per gallon during the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to $0.63 per gallon during the same period in 2021.

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

We attempt to mitigate commodity price exposure through our hedging activities and the use of fee-based arrangements.  See Note 14 of the Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included under Part I, Item 1 of this quarterly report and “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” under Part I, Item 3 of this quarterly report for information regarding our commodity hedging activities.

Impact of Inflation

After being relatively moderate in recent years, inflation in the United States increased significantly in late 2021 into 2022.  This rise in inflation, coupled with supply chain disruptions, labor shortages and increased commodity prices, has generally resulted in higher costs in 2022.  However, to the extent that a rising cost environment impacts our results, there are typically offsetting benefits either inherent in our business or that result from other steps we take proactively to reduce the impact of inflation on our net operating results.  These benefits include: (1) provisions included in our fee-based revenue contracts that offset cost increases in the form of rate escalations based on positive changes in the U.S. Consumer Price Index, Producer Price Index for Finished Goods or other factors; (2) provisions in other revenue contracts that enable us to pass through higher energy costs to customers in the form of gas, electricity and fuel rebills or surcharges; and (3) higher commodity prices, which generally enhance our results in the form of increased volumetric throughput and demand for our services.  Additionally, we take measures to mitigate the impact of cost increases in certain commodities, including a portion of our electricity needs, using fixed-price, term purchase agreements.  For these reasons, the increased cost environment, caused in part by inflation, has not had a material impact on our historical results of operations for the periods presented in this report.  However, a significant or prolonged period of high inflation could adversely impact our results if costs were to increase at a rate greater than the increase in the revenues we receive.

See “Capital Investments” within this Part I, Item 2 for a discussion of the impact of inflation on our capital investment decisions.  Additionally, see Part II, Item 1A “Risk Factors - Changes in price levels could negatively impact our revenue, our expenses, or both, which could adversely affect our business.

Second Quarter of 2022 Compared to Second Quarter of 2021.  Total revenues for the second quarter of 2022 increased $6.6 billion when compared to the second quarter of 2021 primarily due to a $6.4 billion increase in marketing revenues.

Revenues from the marketing of NGLs, crude oil and natural gas increased a combined $6.4 billion quarter-to-quarter primarily due to higher average sales prices, which accounted for a $4.3 billion increase, and higher sales volumes, which accounted for an additional $2.1 billion increase.

Revenues from midstream services for the second quarter of 2022 increased a net $247 million when compared to the second quarter of 2021.  Revenues from our natural gas processing facilities increased $197 million quarter-to-quarter primarily due to higher market values for the equity NGL-equivalent production volumes we receive as non-cash consideration for processing services.  Revenues from our natural gas pipeline assets increased $68 million quarter-to-quarter primarily due to the addition of the Midland Basin Gathering system from the Navitas Midstream acquisition, which contributed $38 million during the quarter, higher demand for natural gas transportation and gathering services in Texas and Louisiana, which accounted for a $17 million increase, and higher gathering fees on our San Juan Basin Gathering System, which accounted for an additional $12 million increase.  Lastly, revenues from our terminal facilities decreased a net $15 million quarter-to-quarter primarily due to lower deficiency fee revenues, which accounted for a $25 million decrease, partially offset by higher loading fee revenues from our ethylene export terminal, which accounted for a $14 million increase.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2022 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2021Total revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2022 increased $10.5 billion when compared to the six months ended June 30, 2021 primarily due to a $10.0 billion increase in marketing revenues.

Revenues from the marketing of NGLs, crude oil and natural gas increased a combined $9.9 billion period-to-period primarily due to higher average sales prices, which accounted for a $7.6 billion increase, and higher sales volumes, which accounted for an additional $2.3 billion increase.

Revenues from midstream services for the six months ended June 30, 2022 increased $489 million when compared to the six months ended June 30, 2021.  Revenues from our natural gas processing facilities increased $342 million period-to-period primarily due to higher market values for the equity NGL-equivalent production volumes we receive as non-cash consideration for processing services.  Revenues from our natural gas pipeline assets increased $85 million period-to-period primarily due to the addition of the Midland Basin Gathering system from the Navitas Midstream acquisition, which contributed $54 million during the period, higher demand for natural gas transportation and gathering services in Texas and Louisiana, which accounted for a $17 million increase, and higher gathering fees on our San Juan Basin Gathering System, which accounted for an additional $14 million increase.  Revenues from our terminal facilities increased $24 million period-to-period primarily due to higher loading fee revenues from our ethylene export terminal.  Revenues from our crude oil pipeline assets increased $28 million period-to-period primarily due to higher demand for crude oil transportation services.

Operating costs and expenses

Total operating costs and expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 increased $6.3 billion and $10.1 billion, respectively, when compared to the same periods in 2021.

Cost of sales
Second Quarter of 2022 Compared to Second Quarter of 2021.  Cost of sales for the second quarter of 2022 increased $6.1 billion when compared to the second quarter of 2021. The cost of sales associated with our marketing of NGLs, crude oil and natural gas increased a combined $6.3 billion quarter-to-quarter primarily due to higher average purchase prices, which accounted for a $4.3 billion increase, and higher sales volumes, which accounted for an additional $2.0 billion increase.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2022 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2021Cost of sales for the six months ended June 30, 2022 increased $9.9 billion when compared to the six months ended June 30, 2021. The cost of sales associated with our marketing of NGLs, crude oil and natural gas increased a combined $10.2 billion period-to-period primarily due to higher average purchase prices, which accounted for an $8.1 billion increase, and higher sales volumes, which accounted for an additional $2.1 billion increase.


Other operating costs and expenses
Other operating costs and expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 increased $182 million and $224 million, respectively, when compared to the same periods in 2021 primarily due to higher utility and employee compensation costs.

Depreciation, amortization and accretion expenses
Depreciation, amortization and accretion expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 increased a combined $37 million and $65 million, respectively, when compared to the same periods in 2021. The addition of assets attributable to the Navitas Midstream acquisition accounted for $23 million of the quarter-to-quarter increase and $36 million of the period-to-period increase.  The remainder of the quarter-to-quarter and period-to-period increases are due to assets placed into full or limited service since the end of the respective periods in 2021 (the Gillis Lateral natural gas pipeline and the Baymark ethylene pipeline) and major maintenance activities accounted for under the deferral method.

Asset impairment charges
Non-cash asset impairment charges for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 decreased $13 million and $65 million, respectively, when compared to the same periods in 2021.  We recorded non-cash asset impairment charges of $44 million during the six months ended June 30, 2021 for the sale of a coal bed natural gas gathering system and related Val Verde treating facility, both of which were components of our San Juan Gathering System.  The remainder of our asset impairment charges for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 are attributable to the write-off of assets that are no longer expected to be used or constructed.

General and administrative costs

General and administrative costs for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 increased $10 million and $16 million, respectively, when compared to the same periods in 2021 primarily due to higher employee compensation costs.

Equity in income of unconsolidated affiliates

Equity income from our unconsolidated affiliates for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 decreased $54 million and $86 million, respectively, when compared to the same periods in 2021 primarily due to lower earnings from investments in crude oil pipelines.

Operating income

Operating income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 increased $272 million and $243 million, respectively, when compared to the same periods in 2021 due to the previously described quarter-to-quarter and period-to-period changes.

(1)
We capitalize interest costs incurred on funds used to construct property, plant and equipment while the asset is in its construction phase.  Capitalized interest amounts become part of the historical cost of an asset and are charged to earnings (as a component of depreciation expense) on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the asset once the asset enters its intended service.  When capitalized interest is recorded, it reduces interest expense from what it would be otherwise.  Capitalized interest amounts fluctuate based on the timing of when projects are placed into service, our capital investment levels and the interest rates charged on borrowings.
(2)
Primarily reflects facility commitment fees charged in connection with our revolving credit facilities and amortization of debt issuance costs. 


Interest charged on debt principal outstanding, which is a key driver of interest expense, decreased $3 million quarter-to-quarter primarily due to the effects of lower overall interest rates during the second quarter of 2022.  Our weighted-average debt principal balance for the second quarter of 2022 was $29.4 billion compared to $28.9 billion for the second quarter of 2021.

For the six months ended June 30, 2022, interest charged on debt principal outstanding decreased $7 million period-to-period primarily due to the effects of lower overall interest rates during the six months ended June 30, 2022.  Our weighted-average debt principal balance for the six months ended June 30, 2022 was $29.7 billion compared to $29.5 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2021.

For additional information regarding our debt obligations, see Note 7 of the Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included under Part I, Item 1 of this quarterly report.  For a discussion of our capital projects, see “Capital Investments” within this Part I, Item 2.

Income taxes

Our provision for income taxes for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 decreased $14 million and $5 million, respectively, when compared to the same periods in 2021 primarily due to lower income tax expense related to state tax obligations under the Revised Texas Franchise Tax (the “Texas Margin Tax”).

Business Segment Highlights

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

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

The following table presents gross operating margin by segment and total gross operating margin, a non-generally accepted accounting principle (“non-GAAP”) financial measure, for the periods indicated (dollars in millions):

Within the context of this table, total segment gross operating margin represents a subtotal and corresponds to measures similarly titled within our business segment disclosures found under Note 10 of the Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included under Part I, Item 1 of this quarterly report.

Total gross operating margin includes equity in the earnings of unconsolidated affiliates, but is exclusive of other income and expense transactions, income taxes, the cumulative effect of changes in accounting principles and extraordinary charges.  Total gross operating margin is presented on a 100% basis before any allocation of earnings to noncontrolling interests.  Our calculation of gross operating margin may or may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.  Segment gross operating margin for NGL Pipelines & Services and Crude Oil Pipelines & Services reflect adjustments for shipper make-up rights that are included in management’s evaluation of segment results.  However, these adjustments are excluded from non-GAAP total gross operating margin.

The GAAP financial measure most directly comparable to total gross operating margin is operating income.  For a discussion of operating income and its components, see the previous section titled “Income Statement Highlights” within this Part I, Item 2.  The following table presents a reconciliation of operating income to total gross operating margin for the periods indicated (dollars in millions):

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

Propylene production and related activities
Second Quarter of 2022 Compared to Second Quarter of 2021Gross operating margin from propylene production and related activities for the second quarter of 2022 decreased $50 million when compared to the second quarter of 2021.  Gross operating margin from our Chambers County propylene production facilities decreased a combined $46 million quarter-to-quarter primarily due to lower average processing fees, which accounted for a $31 million decrease, and higher utility and other operating costs, which accounted for an additional $20 million decrease.  Propylene and associated by-product production volumes at these facilities decreased a combined 2 MBPD quarter-to-quarter (net to our interest).

Six Months Ended June 30, 2022 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2021Gross operating margin from propylene production and related activities for the six months ended June 30, 2022 increased $14 million when compared to the six months ended June 30, 2021.  Gross operating margin from our Chambers County propylene production facilities increased a combined net $18 million period-to-period primarily due to higher sales volumes, which accounted for a $57 million increase, higher average sales margins, which accounted for a $39 million increase, and higher by-product sales and other revenues, which accounted for an additional $10 million increase, partially offset by lower average processing fees, which accounted for a $39 million decrease, and higher utility, amortization expense from major maintenance activities accounted for under the deferral method and other operating costs, which accounted for an additional $49 million decrease.  Propylene and associated by-product production volumes at these facilities increased a combined 10 MBPD period-to-period (net to our interest) primarily due to planned major maintenance activities at our PDH 1 facility during the first quarter of 2021.

Butane isomerization and related operations
Second Quarter of 2022 Compared to Second Quarter of 2021Gross operating margin from butane isomerization and related operations increased a net $14 million quarter-to-quarter primarily due to higher by-product sales volumes and average prices, which accounted for an $11 million increase, and higher isomerization volumes, which accounted for an additional $10 million increase, partially offset by higher utility and other operating costs, which accounted for a $4 million decrease.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2022 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2021Gross operating margin from butane isomerization and related operations increased a net $29 million period-to-period primarily due to higher by-product sales volumes and average prices, which accounted for a $21 million increase, and higher isomerization volumes, which accounted for an additional $19 million increase, partially offset by higher utility and other operating costs, which accounted for a $5 million decrease.

Octane enhancement and related plant operations
Second Quarter of 2022 Compared to Second Quarter of 2021Gross operating margin from our octane enhancement and related plant operations increased a net $126 million quarter-to-quarter primarily due to higher sales volumes, which accounted for an $84 million increase, and higher average sales margins, which accounted for an additional $51 million increase, partially offset by higher utility and other operating costs, which accounted for a $9 million decrease.  The quarter-to-quarter increase in sales volumes at these facilities is primarily due to planned major maintenance activities at our octane enhancement plant that were completed at the beginning of May 2021.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2022 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2021Gross operating margin from our octane enhancement and related plant operations increased a net $170 million period-to-period primarily due to higher sales volumes, which accounted for a $124 million increase, and higher average sales margins, which accounted for an additional $68 million increase, partially offset by higher utility and other operating costs, which accounted for an $18 million decrease.  The period-to-period increase in sales volumes at these facilities is primarily due to planned major maintenance activities during the six months ended June 30, 2021, which were completed in the last week of January 2021 for our HPIB plant and the beginning of May 2021 for our octane enhancement plant.

Refined products pipelines and related activities
Second Quarter of 2022 Compared to Second Quarter of 2021Gross operating margin from refined products pipelines and related activities for the second quarter of 2022 decreased $13 million when compared to the second quarter of 2021.

Gross operating margin from our refined products marketing activities decreased a net $7 million quarter-to-quarter primarily due to lower non-cash mark-to-market earnings, which accounted for a $21 million decrease, partially offset by higher average sales margins, which accounted for a $14 million increase.

Gross operating margin from our TE Products Pipeline System decreased $6 million quarter-to-quarter primarily due to lower average transportation and other fees.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2022 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2021Gross operating margin from refined products pipelines and related activities for the six months ended June 30, 2022 decreased $44 million when compared to the six months ended June 30, 2021.  Gross operating margin from our refined products marketing activities decreased a net $44 million period-to-period primarily due to lower average sales margins, which accounted for a $51 million decrease, partially offset by higher non-cash mark-to-market earnings, which accounted for a $6 million increase.

Ethylene exports and related activities
Second Quarter of 2022 Compared to Second Quarter of 2021.  Gross operating margin from ethylene exports and related activities during the second quarter of 2022 increased $13 million when compared to the second quarter of 2021.  

Gross operating margin from our ethylene export terminal increased $10 million quarter-to-quarter primarily due to a 10 MBPD (net to our interest) increase in export volumes.  

Gross operating margin from our other ethylene activities increased $3 million quarter-to-quarter primarily due to higher transportation volumes of 30 MBPD.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2022 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2021Gross operating margin from ethylene exports and related activities during the six months ended June 30, 2022 increased $39 million when compared to the six months ended June 30, 2021.

Gross operating margin from our ethylene export terminal increased $24 million period-to-period primarily due to a 13 MBPD (net to our interest) increase in export volumes.  

Gross operating margin from our other ethylene activities increased $15 million period-to-period primarily due to higher transportation volumes of 35 MBPD, which accounted for a $10 million increase, and higher storage revenues, which accounted for an additional $7 million increase.


Marine transportation and other services
Second Quarter of 2022 Compared to Second Quarter of 2021Gross operating margin from marine transportation and other services increased $5 million quarter-to-quarter primarily due to higher average fees. 

Six Months Ended June 30, 2022 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2021Gross operating margin from marine transportation and other services increased $9 million period-to-period primarily due to higher average fees.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Based on current market conditions (as of the filing date of this quarterly report), we believe that the Partnership and its consolidated businesses will have sufficient liquidity, cash flow from operations and access to capital markets to fund their capital investments and working capital needs for the reasonably foreseeable future.  At June 30, 2022, we had $4.1 billion of consolidated liquidity, which was comprised of $3.9 billion of available borrowing capacity under EPO’s revolving credit facilities and $231 million of unrestricted cash on hand.

We may issue debt and equity securities to assist us in meeting our future funding and liquidity requirements, including those related to capital investments.  We have a universal shelf registration statement on file with the SEC which allows the Partnership and EPO to issue an unlimited amount of equity and debt securities, respectively.

Enterprise Declares Cash Distribution for Second Quarter of 2022

On July 7, 2022, we announced that the Board declared a quarterly cash distribution of $0.475 per common unit, or $1.90 per unit on an annualized basis, to be paid to the Partnership’s common unitholders with respect to the second quarter of 2022.  The quarterly distribution is payable on August 12, 2022 to unitholders of record as of the close of business on July 29, 2022.  The total amount to be paid is $1.04 billion, which includes $9 million for distribution equivalent rights on phantom unit awards.

The payment of quarterly cash distributions is subject to management’s evaluation of our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows in connection with such payments and Board approval.  Management will evaluate any future increases in cash distributions on a quarterly basis.

Consolidated Debt

At June 30, 2022, the average maturity of EPO’s consolidated debt obligations was approximately 20.8 years.  The following table presents the scheduled maturities of principal amounts of EPO’s consolidated debt obligations at June 30, 2022 for the years indicated (dollars in millions):

In February 2022, EPO repaid all of the $750 million and $650 million in principal amount of its Senior Notes VV and CC, respectively, using remaining cash on hand attributable to its September 2021 senior notes offering and proceeds from the issuance of short-term notes under its commercial paper program.

Expected Renewal of September 2021 364-Day Revolving Credit Agreement

EPO’s September 2021 364-Day Revolving Credit Agreement is scheduled to mature in September 2022.  As a result, EPO expects to renew this credit agreement during the third quarter of 2022.  At June 30, 2022, there were no principal amounts outstanding under the September 2021 364-Day Revolving Credit Agreement.


Partial Redemption of Junior Subordinated Notes D

On August 1, 2022, EPO called for redemption $350 million of the $700 million outstanding principal amount of its Junior Subordinated Notes D.  The redemption date for such notes is August 31, 2022.  These notes are redeemable at EPO’s election on or after August 16, 2022 at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes being redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but not including, the redemption date.  The redemption is expected to be made using cash on hand and proceeds from the issuance of short-term notes under EPO’s commercial paper program.

For additional information regarding our consolidated debt obligations, see Note 7 of the Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included under Part I, Item 1 of this quarterly report.

Credit Ratings

As of August 9, 2022, the investment-grade credit ratings of EPO’s long-term senior unsecured debt securities were BBB+ from Standard and Poor’s, Baa1 from Moody’s and BBB+ from Fitch Ratings.  In addition, the credit ratings of EPO’s short-term senior unsecured debt securities were A-2 from Standard and Poor’s, P-2 from Moody’s and F-2 from Fitch Ratings.  EPO’s credit ratings reflect only the view of a rating agency and should not be interpreted as a recommendation to buy, sell or hold any of our securities.  A credit rating can be revised upward or downward or withdrawn at any time by a rating agency, if it determines that circumstances warrant such a change. A credit rating from one rating agency should be evaluated independently of credit ratings from other rating agencies.

Common Unit Repurchases Under 2019 Buyback Program

In January 2019, we announced that the Board had approved a $2.0 billion multi-year unit buyback program (the “2019 Buyback Program”), which provides the Partnership with an additional method to return capital to investors.  The Partnership repurchased 1,408,121 common units through open market purchases during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022.  The total cost of these repurchases, including commissions and fees, was $35 million.  As of June 30, 2022, the remaining available capacity under the 2019 Buyback Program was $1.5 billion.

Net cash flows provided by operating activities are largely dependent on earnings from our consolidated business activities. Changes in energy commodity prices may impact the demand for natural gas, NGLs, crude oil, petrochemicals and refined products, which could impact sales of our products and the demand for our midstream services. Changes in demand for our products and services may be caused by other factors, including prevailing economic conditions, reduced demand by consumers for the end products made with hydrocarbon products, increased competition, public health emergencies, adverse weather conditions and government regulations affecting prices and production levels.  We may also incur credit and price risk to the extent customers do not fulfill their contractual obligations to us in connection with our marketing activities and long-term take-or-pay agreements.  For a more complete discussion of these and other risk factors pertinent to our business, see “Risk Factors” included under Part I, Item 1A of the 2021 Form 10-K and Part II, Item 1A of this quarterly report.

For additional information regarding our cash flow amounts, please refer to the Unaudited Condensed Statements of Consolidated Cash Flows included under Part I, Item 1 of this quarterly report.


The following information highlights significant quarter-to-quarter fluctuations in our consolidated cash flow amounts:

Operating activities
Net cash flows provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2022 increased a net $247 million when compared to the six months ended June 30, 2021 primarily due to:

a $466 million period-to-period increase resulting from higher partnership earnings (determined by adjusting our $262 million period-to-period increase in net income for changes in the non-cash items identified on our Unaudited Condensed Statements of Consolidated Cash Flows); partially offset by

a $181 million period-to-period decrease primarily due to the timing of cash receipts and payments related to operations.

For information regarding significant period-to-period changes in our consolidated net income and underlying segment results, see “Income Statement Highlights” and “Business Segment Highlights” within this Part I, Item 2.

Investing activities
Cash used in investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2022 increased a net $2.6 billion when compared to the six months ended June 30, 2021 primarily due to:

a net $3.2 billion cash outflow in February 2022 in connection with the acquisition of Navitas Midstream; partially offset by

a $570 million period-to-period decrease in investments for property, plant and equipment (see “Capital Investments” within this Part I, Item 2 for additional information).

Financing activities
Cash used in financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2022 decreased $371 million when compared to the six months ended June 30, 2021.  The period-to-period decrease was primarily due to a net cash outflow of $760 million related to debt transactions during the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to a net cash outflow of $1.3 billion during the six months ended June 30, 2021.  We repaid $1.4 billion aggregate principal amount of senior notes during the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to repayments of $1.3 billion during the six months ended June 30, 2021.  In addition, net issuances of short-term notes under EPO’s commercial paper program were $640 million during the six months ended June 30, 2022.

Non-GAAP Cash Flow Measures

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

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

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

Our use of DCF for the limited purposes described above and in this quarterly report is not a substitute for net cash flows provided by operating activities, which is the most comparable GAAP measure to DCF. For a discussion of net cash flows provided by operating activities, see “Cash Flow Statement Highlights” within this Part I, Item 2.

Capital Investments

We have approximately $5.5 billion of growth capital projects scheduled to be completed by the end of 2025 including the following projects (including their respective scheduled completion dates):

natural gas gathering expansion projects in the Delaware and Midland Basins (2022 and 2023);

our PDH 2 facility (second quarter of 2023);

a 400 MMcf/d expansion of our Acadian Gas System (second quarter of 2023);

our Plant 6 natural gas processing plant in the Midland Basin (second quarter of 2023);

a twelfth NGL fractionator (“Frac XII”) in Chambers County, Texas (third quarter of 2023);

our Mentone II cryogenic natural gas processing plant (fourth quarter of 2023);

our Texas Western Products System, created by repurposing a portion of our Mid-America Pipeline System’s Rocky Mountain segment and adding westbound service to our Chaparral Pipeline business to transport refined products from the U.S. Gulf Coast to markets in West Texas, New Mexico, Colorado and Utah (fourth quarter of 2023);

our Mentone III cryogenic natural gas processing plant (first quarter of 2024);

our Plant 7 natural gas processing plant in the Midland Basin (first quarter of 2024);

the expansion of our Shin Oak NGL Pipeline (first half of 2024);

an Ethane Terminal located along the coast between Corpus Christi, Texas and New Orleans, Louisiana (2025); and

an expansion of our Morgan’s Point terminal to increase ethylene export capacity (2023 and 2025).

In February 2022, we acquired Navitas Midstream from an affiliate of Warburg Pincus LLC for $3.2 billion in net cash consideration, which was funded using proceeds from the issuance of short-term notes under our commercial paper program and cash on hand.  Shortly after closing on this transaction, we completed construction of the Leiker Plant and placed it into service in March 2022.


Based on information currently available, we expect our total capital investments for 2022, excluding business combinations and net of contributions from noncontrolling interests, to approximate $2.0 billion, which reflects growth capital investments of $1.6 billion and sustaining capital expenditures of $350 million.  These amounts do not include capital investments associated with our proposed deep-water offshore crude oil terminal (the Sea Port Oil Terminal, or SPOT), which remains subject to governmental approvals.  We currently anticipate receiving approval for SPOT during the second half of 2022; however, we can give no assurance as to whether the project will ultimately be approved or the timing of such decision.

Our forecast of capital investments is dependent upon our ability to generate the required funds from either operating cash flows or other means, including borrowings under debt agreements, the issuance of additional equity and debt securities, and potential divestitures.  We may revise our forecast of capital investments due to factors beyond our control, such as adverse economic conditions, weather-related issues and changes in supplier prices resulting from raw material or labor shortages, supply chain disruptions or inflation.  Furthermore, our forecast of capital investments may change over time based on future decisions by management, which may include changing the scope or timing of projects or cancelling projects altogether.  Our success in raising capital, having the ability to increase revenues commensurate with cost increases and our ability to partner with other companies to share project costs and risks, continue to be significant factors in determining how much capital we can invest.  We believe our access to capital resources is sufficient to meet the demands of our current and future growth needs and, although we currently expect to make the forecast capital investments noted above, we may revise our plans in response to changes in economic and capital market conditions.

Growth and sustaining capital amounts presented in the table above are presented on a cash basis.  In total, these amounts represent “Capital expenditures” as presented on our Unaudited Condensed Statements of Consolidated Cash Flows.
(2)
Growth capital projects either (a) result in new sources of cash flow due to enhancements of or additions to existing assets (e.g., additional revenue streams, cost savings resulting from debottlenecking of a facility, etc.) or (b) expand our asset base through construction of new facilities that will generate additional revenue streams and cash flows.
(3)
Sustaining capital projects are capital expenditures (as defined by GAAP) resulting from improvements to existing assets.  Such expenditures serve to maintain existing operations but do not generate additional revenues or result in significant cost savings. Sustaining capital expenditures include the costs of major maintenance activities at our reaction-based plants, which are accounted for using the deferral method.
(4)
Amount for the six months ended June 30, 2022 represents net cash used for the acquisition of Navitas Midstream, which closed on February 17, 2022.

Comparison of Six Months Ended June 30, 2022 with Six Months Ended June 30, 2021

In total, investments in growth capital projects decreased $486 million period-to-period primarily due to the following:

lower investments at our Chambers County complex (e.g., completion of our natural gasoline hydrotreater in October 2021), which accounted for a $144 million decrease;

completion of our Gillis Lateral natural gas pipeline in December 2021, which accounted for a $105 million decrease;

completion of pipeline projects connecting our Chambers County complex with Gulf Coast assets, which accounted for a $73 million decrease;

lower investments in projects attributable to our ethylene business (e.g. completion of our Baymark ethylene pipeline in November 2021), which accounted for a $55 million decrease; and

completion of projects associated with crude oil pipelines (e.g., expansion projects involving the Midland-to-ECHO System and related crude oil infrastructure supporting Permian Basin producers), which accounted for a $36 million decrease.

Investments attributable to sustaining capital projects decreased $84 million period-to-period primarily due to lower major maintenance activities performed at certain of our reaction-based plants (e.g., PDH 1, octane enhancement and HPIB facilities).

Product Purchase Commitments

We have long-term product purchase commitments for natural gas, NGLs, crude oil, petrochemicals and refined products representing enforceable and legally binding agreements as of the reporting date.  Our product purchase commitments increased from $18.8 billion at December 31, 2021 to $27.0 billion at June 30, 2022 primarily due to an increase in crude oil and NGL prices between the two reporting dates.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

A discussion of our critical accounting policies and estimates is included in our 2021 Form 10-K.  The following types of estimates, in our opinion, are subjective in nature, require the exercise of professional judgment and involve complex analysis:

depreciation methods and estimated useful lives of property, plant and equipment;

measuring recoverability of long-lived assets and fair value of equity method investments;

valuation and amortization methods of customer relationships and contract-based intangible assets;

methods we employ to measure the fair value of goodwill and related assets; and

the use of estimates for revenue and expenses.

When used to prepare our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, the foregoing types of estimates are based on our current knowledge and understanding of the underlying facts and circumstances.  Such estimates may be revised as a result of changes in the underlying facts and circumstances.  Subsequent changes in these estimates may have a significant impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

Other Matters

Parent-Subsidiary Guarantor Relationship

The Partnership (the “Parent Guarantor”) has guaranteed the payment of principal and interest on the consolidated debt obligations of EPO (the “Subsidiary Issuer”), with the exception of the remaining debt obligations of TEPPCO Partners, L.P. (collectively, the “Guaranteed Debt”).  If EPO were to default on any of its Guaranteed Debt, the Partnership would be responsible for full and unconditional repayment of such obligations. At June 30, 2022, the total amount of Guaranteed Debt was $29.5 billion, which was comprised of $26.4 billion of EPO’s senior notes, $2.6 billion of EPO’s junior subordinated notes and $435 million of related accrued interest.

The Partnership’s guarantees of EPO’s senior note obligations, commercial paper notes and borrowings under bank credit facilities represent unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of the Partnership that rank equal in right of payment to all other existing or future unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness of the Partnership. In addition, these guarantees effectively rank junior in right of payment to any existing or future indebtedness of the Partnership that is secured and unsubordinated, to the extent of the assets securing such indebtedness.


The Partnership’s guarantees of EPO’s junior subordinated notes represent unsecured and subordinated obligations of the Partnership that rank equal in right of payment to all other existing or future subordinated indebtedness of the Partnership and senior in right of payment to all existing or future equity securities of the Partnership. The Partnership’s guarantees of EPO’s junior subordinated notes effectively rank junior in right of payment to (i) any existing or future indebtedness of the Partnership that is secured, to the extent of the assets securing such indebtedness and (ii) all other existing or future unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness of the Partnership.

The Partnership may be released from its guarantee obligations only in connection with EPO’s exercise of its legal or covenant defeasance options as described in the underlying agreements.

Selected Financial Information of Obligor Group
The following tables present summarized financial information of the Partnership (as Parent Guarantor) and EPO (as Subsidiary Issuer) on a combined basis (collectively, the “Obligor Group”), after the elimination of intercompany balances and transactions among the Obligor Group.

In accordance with Rule 13.01 of Regulation S-X, the summarized financial information of the Obligor Group excludes the Obligor Group’s equity in income and investments in the consolidated subsidiaries of EPO that are not party to the guarantee obligations (the “Non-Obligor Subsidiaries”).  The total carrying value of the Obligor Group’s investments in the Non-Obligor Subsidiaries was $48.0 billion at June 30, 2022. The Obligor Group’s equity in the earnings of the Non-Obligor Subsidiaries for the six months ended June 30, 2022 was $2.9 billion.  Although the net assets and earnings of the Non-Obligor Subsidiaries are not directly available to the holders of the Guaranteed Debt to satisfy the repayment of such obligations, there are no significant restrictions on the ability of the Non-Obligor Subsidiaries to pay distributions or make loans to EPO or the Partnership.  EPO exercises control over the Non-Obligor Subsidiaries.  We continue to believe that the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Partnership presented under Part I, Item 1 of this quarterly report provide a more appropriate view of our credit standing.  Our investment grade credit ratings are based on the Partnership’s consolidated financial statements and not the Obligor Group’s financial information presented below.

ITEM 3.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES
ABOUT MARKET RISK.

General

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

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

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

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

the hedged forecasted transaction occurs within the expected time period.

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


Commodity Hedging Activities

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

At June 30, 2022, our predominant commodity hedging strategies consisted of (i) hedging anticipated future purchases and sales of commodity products associated with transportation, storage and blending activities, (ii) hedging the fair value of commodity products held in inventory and (iii) hedging natural gas processing margins.  For a summary of our portfolio of commodity derivative instruments outstanding, see Note 14 of the Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included under Part I, Item 1 of this quarterly report.

Sensitivity Analysis

The following tables show the effect of hypothetical price movements on the estimated fair values of our principal commodity derivative instrument portfolios at the dates indicated (dollars in millions).

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

Interest Rate Hedging Activities

We may utilize interest rate swaps, forward-starting swaps, options to enter into forward-starting swaps (“swaptions”), and similar derivative instruments to manage our exposure to changes in interest rates charged on borrowings under certain consolidated debt agreements.  This strategy may be used in controlling our overall cost of capital associated with such borrowings.  As of the filing date of this quarterly report, we do not have any interest rate hedging instruments outstanding.


ITEM 4.  CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report, our management carried out an evaluation, with the participation of (i) A. James Teague, Co-Chief Executive Officer of Enterprise GP and (ii) W. Randall Fowler, Co-Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of Enterprise GP, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.  Based on this evaluation, as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report, Messrs. Teague and Fowler concluded:

(i)
that our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and financial officers, as appropriate to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosures; and

(ii)
that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) during the second quarter of 2022, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting. 

Section 302 and 906 Certifications

The required certifications of Messrs. Teague and Fowler under Sections 302 and 906 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 are included as exhibits to this quarterly report (see Exhibits 31 and 32 under Part II, Item 6 of this quarterly report).


PART II.  OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

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

For additional information regarding our litigation matters, see Note 17 of the Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included under Part I, Item 1 of this quarterly report.

On occasion, we are assessed monetary penalties by governmental authorities related to administrative or judicial proceedings involving environmental matters.  In June 2019, we received a Notice of Violation from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency in connection with regulatory requirements applicable to facilities that we operate in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.  In July 2021, we received a civil penalty demand from the U.S. Department of Justice and the State of Colorado regarding alleged violations of hydrocarbon leak detection and repair regulations applicable to our Meeker gas processing plant in Colorado.  The eventual resolution of each of these matters may result in monetary sanctions in excess of $0.3 million; however, we do not expect such expenditures to be material to our consolidated financial statements.


ITEM 1A.  RISK FACTORS.

An investment in our securities involves certain risks. Security holders and potential investors in our securities should carefully consider the risks described under “Risk Factors” set forth in Part I, Item 1A of our 2021 Form 10-K, in addition to other information in such annual report and this quarterly report (including the risk factors set forth below).  The risk factors set forth in our 2021 Form 10-K and as set forth below are important factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those contained in any written or oral forward-looking statements made by us or on our behalf.

Changes in price levels could negatively impact our revenue, our expenses, or both, which could adversely affect our business.

The operation of our assets and the execution of capital projects require significant expenditures for labor, materials, property, equipment and services. As a result, such costs may increase during periods of general business inflation, including as a result of higher commodity prices, supply chain disruptions and tight labor markets.  Recent inflationary pressures affecting the general economy and the energy industry have increased our expenses and capital costs, and those costs may continue to increase.  While the majority of long-term contracts for our services contain index-based changes and inflation adjustments, we may not be able to pass all of these increased costs to our customers in the form of higher fees for our services. In addition, we use the FERC’s PPI-based price indexing methodology to establish tariff rates in certain markets served by our pipelines.  As such, our revenues and operating margins are impacted by changes in price levels. Prior to adjustments to applicable rates, material cost increases may affect our operating margins, even if margins in subsequent periods may be normalized following applicable rate adjustments.  Accordingly, increased costs during periods of general business inflation that are not passed through to customers or offset by other factors may have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

Our construction of new assets is subject to operational, regulatory, environmental, political, geopolitical, legal and economic risks, which may result in delays, increased costs or decreased cash flows.

One of the ways we intend to grow our business is through the construction of new midstream energy infrastructure assets.  The construction of new assets involves numerous operational, regulatory, environmental, political, geopolitical, legal and economic risks beyond our control and may require the expenditure of significant amounts of capital.  These potential risks include, among other things, the following:
 
we may be unable to complete construction projects on schedule or at the budgeted cost due to the unavailability of required construction personnel, the unavailability of or delays in obtaining necessary materials as a result of supply chain disruptions (including those caused by COVID-19 lockdowns or geopolitical events, such as the Russian invasion of Ukraine), accidents, weather conditions, or an inability to obtain necessary permits;

we will not receive any material increase in operating cash flows until the project is completed, even though we may have expended considerable funds during the construction phase, which may be prolonged;

we may construct facilities to capture anticipated future production growth in a region in which such growth does not materialize;

since we are not engaged in the exploration for and development of crude oil or natural gas reserves, we may not have access to third party estimates of reserves in an area prior to our constructing facilities in the area.  As a result, we may construct facilities in an area where the reserves are materially lower than we anticipate;

in those situations where we do rely on third party reserve estimates in making a decision to construct assets, these estimates may prove inaccurate;

the completion or success of our construction project may depend on the completion of a third party construction project (e.g., a downstream crude oil refinery expansion or construction of a new petrochemical facility) that we do not control and that may be subject to numerous of its own potential risks, delays and complexities; and

we may be unable to obtain rights-of-way to construct additional pipelines or the cost to do so may be uneconomical.

A materialization of any of these risks could adversely affect our ability to achieve growth in the level of our cash flows or realize benefits from expansion opportunities or construction projects, which could impact the level of cash distributions we pay to partners.

Several of our assets have been in service for many years and require significant expenditures to maintain them. As a result, an increase in future maintenance or repair costs or delays in completing necessary maintenance or repair activities could have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

Our pipelines, terminals and storage assets are generally long-lived assets, and many of them have been in service for many years. The age and condition of our assets could result in increased maintenance or repair expenditures in the future. Additionally, we may be unable to complete maintenance or repairs due to the unavailability of necessary materials as a result of supply chain disruptions (including those caused by COVID-19 lockdowns or geopolitical events, such as the Russian invasion of Ukraine), which may result in the suspension of operations of the impacted assets until such activities can be completed.  Any significant increase in these expenditures or delays in completing necessary maintenance or repairs could adversely affect our results of operations, financial position or cash flows, as well as our ability to make cash distributions to our unitholders.

A cyber-attack on our IT systems could affect our business and assets, and have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

We rely on our IT systems to conduct our business, as well as systems of third-party vendors.  These systems include information used to operate our assets, as well as cloud-based services.  These systems are subject to possible security breaches and cyber-attacks.

Cyber-attacks are becoming more sophisticated, and U.S. government warnings have indicated that infrastructure assets, including pipelines, may be specifically targeted by certain groups.  These attacks include, without limitation, malicious software, ransomware, attempts to gain unauthorized access to data, and other electronic security breaches.  These attacks, which could increase as a result of geopolitical events (including the Russian invasion of Ukraine), may be perpetrated by state-sponsored groups, “hacktivists”, criminal organizations or private individuals (including employee malfeasance).  These cybersecurity risks include cyber-attacks on both us and third parties who provide material services to us.  In addition to disrupting operations, cyber security breaches could also affect our ability to operate or control our facilities, render data or systems unusable, or result in the theft of sensitive, confidential or customer information.  These events could also damage our reputation, and result in losses from remedial actions, loss of business or potential liability to third parties.

We do not carry insurance specifically for cybersecurity events; however, certain of our insurance policies may allow for coverage of associated damages resulting from such events.  If we were to incur a significant liability for which we were not fully insured, it could have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows.  In addition, the proceeds of any such insurance may not be paid in a timely manner and may be insufficient if such an event were to occur.


ITEM 2.  UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS.

Recent Issuances of Unregistered Securities

Holders of our Series A Cumulative Convertible Preferred Units (“preferred units”) are entitled to receive cumulative quarterly distributions at a rate of 7.25% per annum. We may satisfy our obligation to pay distributions to the preferred unitholders through the issuance, in whole or in part, of additional preferred units (referred to as paid-in-kind or “PIK” distributions), with the remainder in cash, subject to certain rights of a holder to elect all cash and other conditions as described in our partnership agreement.

The Partnership made quarterly PIK distributions of 16,823 and 17,128 preferred units to OTA Holdings, Inc., an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of the Partnership (“OTA”) in the first and second quarters of 2022, respectively.  The preferred units held by OTA are accounted for as treasury units in consolidation.  For additional information regarding the preferred units, see Note 8 of the Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included under Part I, Item 1 of this quarterly report.

The issuances of preferred units as PIK distributions during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 were undertaken in reliance upon an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) thereof.

Other than as described above, there were no sales of unregistered equity securities during the second quarter of 2022.
