Investment In Affiliates [Abstract] |
Investments In Affiliates | INVESTMENTS IN UNCONSOLIDATED AFFILIATES: Description of Investments Following is a summary of the Partnership’s significant unconsolidated investees. Citrus Energy Transfer owns a 50% interest in Citrus. Citrus owns 100% of FGT, an approximately 5,362-mile natural gas pipeline system that originates in Texas and delivers natural gas to the Florida peninsula. Our investment in Citrus is reflected in our interstate transportation and storage segment. MEP Energy Transfer owns a 50% interest in MEP, which owns the Midcontinent Express Pipeline, an approximately 500-mile 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. Our investment in MEP is reflected in the interstate transportation and storage segment. White Cliffs Energy Transfer owns a 51% interest in White Cliffs, which consists of two parallel, 12-inch common carrier pipelines: one crude oil pipeline and one NGL pipeline. These pipelines transport crude and NGLs from Platteville, Colorado to Cushing, Oklahoma. The Partnership recorded an impairment of its investment in White Cliffs of $129 million during the year ended December 31, 2020 due to a decrease in projected future revenues and cash flows as a result of the overall market demand decline. Explorer Energy Transfer owns a 15% membership interest in Explorer, which consists of a 1,850-mile pipeline which originates from refining centers in Beaumont, Port Arthur, and Houston, Texas and extends to Chicago, Illinois. Our investment in Explorer is reflected in our NGL and refined products transportation and services segment.
