(1)Plants, pipelines and facilities include distillation-based and reaction-based 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: distillation-based and reaction-based 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 remaining amortization period for these costs is 2.5 years. The following table summarizes our depreciation expense and capitalized interest amounts for the years indicated:
