In November 2016, Phillips 66 Partners acquired NGL logistics assets located in southeast Louisiana, consisting of approximately 500 miles of pipelines and storage caverns connecting multiple fractionation facilities, refineries and a petrochemical facility. The acquisition provided an opportunity for fee-based growth in the Louisiana market within our Midstream segment. The acquisition was included in the “Capital expenditures and investments” line of our consolidated statement of cash flows. As of December 31, 2016, we provisionally recorded $183 million of PP&E in connection with the acquisition.

While we had no acquisitions in 2015, we completed the following acquisitions in 2014:

•
In August 2014, we acquired a 7.1 million-barrel-storage-capacity crude oil and petroleum products terminal located near Beaumont, Texas, to promote growth plans in our Midstream segment.
•
In July 2014, we acquired Spectrum Corporation, a private label and specialty lubricants business headquartered in Memphis, Tennessee. The acquisition supported our plans to selectively grow stable-return businesses in our M&S segment.
•
In March 2014, we acquired our co-venturer’s interest in an entity that operates a power and steam generation plant located in Texas that is included in our M&S segment. This acquisition provided us with full operational control over a key facility supplying utilities and other services to one of our refineries.

We funded each of these 2014 acquisitions with cash on hand. Total cash consideration paid in 2014 was $741 million, net of cash acquired. Cash consideration paid for acquisitions is included in the “Capital expenditures and investments” line of our consolidated statement of cash flows. Our acquisition accounting for these transactions was finalized in 2015.

MSLP owns a delayed coker and related facilities at the Sweeny Refinery, and its results are included in our Refining segment. MSLP processes long residue, which is produced from heavy sour crude oil, for a fee. Fuel-grade petroleum coke is produced as a by-product and becomes the property of MSLP. Prior to August 28, 2009, MSLP was owned 50/50 by ConocoPhillips and PDVSA. Under the agreements that governed the relationships between the partners, certain defaults by PDVSA with respect to supply of crude oil to the Sweeny Refinery triggered the right to acquire PDVSA’s 50 percent ownership interest in MSLP, which was exercised in August 2009. The exercise was challenged, and the dispute was arbitrated in our favor and subsequently litigated. While the dispute was being arbitrated and litigated, we continued to use the equity method of accounting for our 50 percent interest in MSLP. When the exercise of the call right ceased to be subject to legal challenge on February 7, 2017, we deemed that we had acquired PDVSA’s 50 percent share of MSLP and began accounting for MSLP as a wholly owned consolidated subsidiary.

Based on a preliminary third-party appraisal of the fair value of MSLP’s net assets, utilizing discounted cash flows and replacement costs, the acquisition of PDVSA’s 50 percent interest is expected to result in our recording a noncash, pre-tax gain of approximately $420 million in the first quarter of 2017. The preliminary fair value of our original equity interest in MSLP is approximately $190 million.
