Investments In Affiliates | ADVANCES TO AND INVESTMENTS IN UNCONSOLIDATED AFFILIATES: The carrying values of the Partnership’s investments in unconsolidated affiliates as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, were as follows:
| December 31,
| 2016 |  | 2015
Citrus | $ | 1,729 |  |  | $ | 1,739 |
AmeriGas | 82 |  |  | 80 |
FEP | 101 |  |  | 115 |
MEP | 318 |  |  | 660 |
HPC | 382 |  |  | 402 |
Others | 428 |  |  | 466 |
Total | $ | 3,040 |  |  | $ | 3,462 |
Citrus ETP owns CrossCountry, which owns a 50% interest in Citrus. The other 50% interest in Citrus is owned by a subsidiary of KMI. Citrus owns 100% of FGT, a natural gas pipeline system that originates in Texas and delivers natural gas to the Florida peninsula. AmeriGas In 2012, ETP received 29.6 million AmeriGas common units in connection with the contribution of its propane operations. During the year ended December 31, 2014, ETP sold 18.9 million AmeriGas common units for net proceeds of $814 million. As of December 31, 2016, the Partnership’s remaining interest in AmeriGas common units consisted of 3.1 million units held by a wholly-owned captive insurance company and is reflected in the Investment in ETP segment. FEP ETP has a 50% interest in FEP which owns an approximately 185-mile natural gas pipeline that originates in Conway County, Arkansas, continues eastward through White County, Arkansas and terminates at an interconnect with Trunkline Gas Company in Panola County, Mississippi. MEP ETP owns a 50% interest in MEP, which owns approximately 500 miles of natural gas pipeline that extends from Southeast Oklahoma, across Northeast Texas, Northern Louisiana and Central Mississippi to an interconnect with the Transcontinental natural gas pipeline system in Butler, Alabama. ETP evaluated its investment in MEP for impairment as of September 30, 2016, based on FASB Accounting Standards Codification 323, Investments - Equity Method and Joint Ventures. Based on commercial discussions with current and potential shippers on MEP regarding the outlook for long-term transportation contract rates, the Partnership concluded that the fair value of its investment was other than temporarily impaired, resulting in a non-cash impairment of $308 million during the year ended December 31, 2016. HPC ETP owns a 49.99% interest in HPC, which, through its ownership of RIGS, delivers natural gas from Northwest Louisiana to downstream pipelines and markets through a 450-mile intrastate pipeline system.
