Derivative Instruments, Hedging Activities and Fair Value Measurements [Abstract] |
Hedging Instruments Under the FASB's Derivative and Hedging Guidance | The following table summarizes our portfolio of interest rate swaps at September 30, 2013:
Hedged Transaction | Number and Type of Derivatives Outstanding |  | Notional Amount |  | Period of Hedge | Rate Swap | Accounting Treatment
Senior Notes AA | 10 fixed-to-floating swaps |  | $ | 750.0 |  | 1/2011 to 2/2016 | 3.2% to 1.2% | Fair value hedge
Undesignated swaps | 6 floating-to-fixed swaps |  | $ | 600.0 |  | 5/2010 to 7/2014 | 0.3% to 2.0% | Mark-to-market
The prices of natural gas, NGLs, crude oil, refined products and petrochemical products are subject to fluctuations in response to changes in supply and demand, market conditions and a variety of additional factors that are beyond our control. In order to manage such price risks, we enter into commodity derivative instruments such as physical forward contracts, futures contracts, fixed-for-float swaps, basis swaps and option contracts. The following table summarizes our portfolio of commodity derivative instruments outstanding at September 30, 2013 (volume measures as noted):
| Volume (1) | Accounting
Derivative Purpose | Current (2) | Long-Term (2) | Treatment

Forecasted sales of octane enhancement products (MMBbls) | 3.2 | 0.7 | Cash flow hedge

Refined products risk management activities (MMBbls) (4) | 0.6 | n/a | Mark-to-market
Crude oil risk management activities (MMBbls) (4) | 11.0 | 0.9 | Mark-to-market
(1) Volume for derivatives designated as hedging instruments reflects the total amount of volumes hedged whereas volume for derivatives not designated as hedging instruments reflects the absolute value of derivative notional volumes. (2) The maximum term for derivatives designated as cash flow hedges, derivatives designated as fair value hedges and derivatives not designated as hedging instruments is January 2015, May 2014 and October 2016, respectively. (3) Current and long-term volumes include 52.0 Bcf and 0.3 Bcf, respectively, of physical derivative instruments that are predominantly priced at a marked-based index plus a premium or minus a discount related to location differences. (4) Reflects the use of derivative instruments to manage risks associated with transportation, processing and storage assets.
