We incurred liabilities for construction in progress that had not been paid at September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 of $166.5 million and $472.8 million, respectively.  Such amounts are not included under the caption “Capital expenditures” on the Unaudited Condensed Statements of Consolidated Cash Flows.

On certain of our capital projects, third parties are obligated to reimburse us for all or a portion of project expenditures.  The majority of such arrangements are associated with projects related to pipeline construction activities and production well tie-ins.  These cash receipts are presented as “Contributions in aid of construction costs” within the investing activities section of our Unaudited Condensed Statements of Consolidated Cash Flows.

In July 2015, we purchased EFS Midstream from affiliates of Pioneer and Reliance for approximately $2.1 billion, which was payable in two installments.  The initial payment of $1.1 billion was paid at closing on July 8, 2015.  The second and final installment of $1.0 billion was paid on July 11, 2016 using a combination of cash on hand and proceeds from the issuance of short-term notes under EPO’s commercial paper program.

The following table presents our cash proceeds from asset sales and insurance recoveries for the periods indicated:
