Derivative Instruments, Hedging Activities and Fair Value Measurements [Abstract] |
Derivative Instruments, Hedging Activities and Fair Value Measurements | Note 12. Derivative Instruments, Hedging Activities and Fair Value Measurements In the normal course of our business operations, we are exposed to certain risks, including changes in interest rates and commodity prices. In order to manage risks associated with assets, liabilities and certain anticipated future transactions, we use derivative instruments such as futures, forward contracts, swaps, options and other instruments with similar characteristics. Substantially all of our derivatives are used for non-trading activities. Interest Rate Hedging Activities We may utilize interest rate swaps, forward starting swaps and similar derivative instruments to manage our exposure to changes in interest rates charged on borrowings under certain consolidated debt agreements. This strategy may be used in controlling our overall cost of capital associated with such borrowings. The following table summarizes our portfolio of interest rate swaps at June 30, 2017:
Hedged Transaction | Number and Type of Derivatives Outstanding |  | Notional Amount |  | Period of Hedge | Rate Swap | Accounting Treatment
Senior Notes OO | 10 fixed-to-floating swaps |  | $ | 750.0 |  | 5/2015 to 5/2018 | 1.65% to 1.66% | Fair value hedge
The following table summarizes our portfolio of forward starting swaps at June 30, 2017:
Hedged Transaction | Number and Type of Derivatives Outstanding |  | Notional Amount |  | Expected Settlement Date | Average Rate Locked | Accounting Treatment
Future long-term debt offering | 4 forward starting swaps |  | $ | 275.0 |  | 5/2018 | 2.02% | Cash flow hedge
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, 2017, our predominant commodity hedging strategies consisted of (i) hedging anticipated future purchases and sales of commodity products associated with transportation, storage and blending activities, (ii) hedging natural gas processing margins and (iii) hedging the fair value of commodity products held in inventory.
 | The objective of our anticipated future commodity purchases and sales hedging program is to hedge the margins of certain transportation, storage, blending and operational activities by locking in purchase and sale prices through the use of derivative instruments and related contracts.
 | The objective of our natural gas processing hedging program is to hedge an amount of earnings associated with these activities. We achieve this objective by executing fixed-price sales for a portion of our expected equity NGL production using derivative instruments and related contracts. For certain natural gas processing contracts, the hedging of expected equity NGL production also involves the purchase of natural gas for plant thermal reduction, which is hedged using derivative instruments and related contracts.
 | The objective of our inventory hedging program is to hedge the fair value of commodity products currently held in inventory by locking in the sales price of the inventory through the use of derivative instruments and related contracts.

(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 December 2018, December 2017 and March 2020, respectively. (3) Current and long-term volumes include 61.0 Bcf and 9.3 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.
On January 3, 2017, the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (“CME”) modified its exchange rules to characterize daily variation margin amounts as “final settlement” values. The modified rule (“CME Rule 814”) impacts derivative financial instruments traded on exchanges administered by the CME, including the New York Mercantile Exchange. As a result of this rule change, we began reporting the affected derivative instruments on a net basis on our balance sheet during the first quarter of 2017. The netting process results in the elimination of derivative assets, derivative liabilities and associated restricted cash and related amounts with each other as if the underlying derivative instruments had settled on the balance sheet date. Historically through December 31, 2016, we reported such derivatives on a gross basis (i.e., not netted). Derivative transactions cleared on exchanges other than the CME (e.g., the Intercontinental Exchange or ICE) continue to be reported on a gross basis.

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. The following tables present the effect of our derivative instruments designated as fair value hedges on our Unaudited Condensed Statements of Consolidated Operations for the periods indicated:

For the six months ended June 30, 2017, the net gain of $8.9 million recognized in income from our commodity derivatives designated as fair value hedges includes $0.8 million of net losses attributable to hedge ineffectiveness. The remaining $9.7 million of net gain recognized during the six months ended June 30, 2017 was primarily related to prompt-to-forward month price differentials that were excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness. Net gains or losses due to ineffectiveness and from those amounts excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness were immaterial for all other periods presented.

Over the next twelve months, we expect to reclassify $41.3 million of losses attributable to interest rate derivative instruments from accumulated other comprehensive loss to earnings as an increase in interest expense. Likewise, we expect to reclassify $52.4 million of net gains attributable to commodity derivative instruments from accumulated other comprehensive income to earnings, $52.6 million as an increase in revenue and $0.2 million as an increase in operating costs and expenses. The following table presents the effect of our derivative instruments not designated as hedging instruments on our Unaudited Condensed Statements of Consolidated Operations for the periods indicated:

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 at June 30, 2017 are presented before and after the application of 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 new 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.

With respect to commodity derivatives, we believe forward commodity prices are the most significant unobservable inputs in determining our Level 3 recurring fair value measurements at June 30, 2017. In general, changes in the price of the underlying commodity increases or decreases the fair value of a commodity derivative depending on whether the derivative was purchased or sold. We generally expect changes in the fair value of our derivative instruments to be offset by corresponding changes in the fair value of our hedged exposures. Nonrecurring Fair Value Measurements The following table summarizes our non-cash asset impairment charges for long-lived assets by segment during each of the periods indicated:

Total asset impairment and related charges during the six months ended June 30, 2017 were $25.2 million, which consisted of $13.5 million of impairment charges attributable to long-lived assets and $11.7 million of impairment charges attributable to the write-down of spare parts classified as current assets. The following table presents categories of long-lived assets that were subject to non-recurring fair value measurements during the six months ended June 30, 2016:

Total asset impairment and related charges during the six months ended June 30, 2016 were $22.3 million, which consisted of $14.0 million of impairment charges attributable to long-lived assets, $1.2 million of impairment charges attributable to the write-down of spare parts classified as current assets and $7.1 million of related charges for equipment destroyed by fire at our Pascagoula gas plant. 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 $22.25 billion and $21.95 billion at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. The aggregate carrying value of these debt obligations was $20.58 billion and $20.85 billion at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. These values are based on quoted market prices for such debt or debt of similar terms and maturities (Level 2), our credit standing and the credit standing of our counterparties. Changes in market rates of interest affect the fair value of our fixed-rate debt. The amounts reported for fixed-rate debt obligations exclude those amounts hedged using fixed-to-floating interest rate swaps. See “Interest Rate Hedging Activities” within this Note 12 for additional information. 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.
