Business Segments [Abstract] |
Business Segments | Note 10. Business Segments 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 chief operating decision makers in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing operating and financial performance. 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. 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.
|  | For the Three Months Ended March 31, |
|  | 2018 |  |  | 2017 |
Operating income |  | $ | 1,138.5 |  |  | $ | 1,031.6 |
Adjustments to reconcile operating income to total gross operating margin: |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Add depreciation, amortization and accretion expense in operating costs and expenses |  |  | 394.3 |  |  |  | 376.2 |
Add asset impairment and related charges in operating costs and expenses |  |  | 0.9 |  |  |  | 11.2 |
Subtract net gains attributable to asset sales in operating costs and expenses |  |  | (0.5 | ) |  |  | (0.3 | )
Add general and administrative costs |  |  | 53.0 |  |  |  | 50.4 |
Adjustments for make-up rights on certain new pipeline projects: |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Add non-refundable payments received from shippers attributable to make-up rights (1) |  |  | 2.7 |  |  |  | 13.3 |
Subtract the subsequent recognition of revenues attributable to make-up rights (2) |  |  | (14.2 | ) |  |  | (9.1 | )
Total segment gross operating margin |  | $ | 1,574.7 |  |  | $ | 1,473.3 |
(1) 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. (2) 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:

Segment revenues include intersegment and intrasegment transactions, which are generally based on transactions made at market-based rates. Our consolidated revenues reflect the elimination of intercompany transactions. Substantially all of our consolidated revenues are earned in the U.S. and derived from a wide customer base.

Segment assets consist of property, plant and equipment, investments in unconsolidated affiliates, intangible assets and goodwill. The carrying values of such amounts are assigned to each segment based on each asset’s or investment’s principal operations and contribution to the gross operating margin of that particular segment. Since construction-in-progress amounts (a component of property, plant and equipment) generally do not contribute to segment gross operating margin, such amounts are excluded from segment asset totals until the underlying assets are placed in service. Intangible assets and goodwill are assigned to each segment based on the classification of the assets to which they relate. The remainder of our consolidated total assets, which consist primarily of working capital assets, are excluded from segment assets since these amounts are not attributable to one specific segment (e.g. cash). Other Revenue and Expense Information The following table presents additional information regarding our consolidated revenues and costs and expenses for the periods indicated:

Total consolidated costs and expenses |  | $ | 8,275.7 |  |  | $ | 6,383.6 |
(1) Represents the cost of operating our plants, pipelines and other fixed assets excluding: depreciation, amortization and accretion charges; asset impairment and related charges; and net losses (or gains) attributable to asset sales. |
Fluctuations in our product sales revenues and related cost of sales amounts are explained in 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 also increase the associated cost of sales as purchase costs rise. The same correlation would be true in the case of lower energy commodity sales prices and purchase costs.
