Acquisitions and Dispositions | Acquisitions and Dispositions Acquisitions The following acquisitions were accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting and the determination of the fair value of the assets and liabilities acquired has been estimated in accordance with the applicable accounting guidance. Alpha Crude Connector Acquisition On February 14, 2017, we acquired all of the issued and outstanding membership interests in Alpha Holding Company, LLC for cash consideration of approximately $1.217 billion, subject to working capital and other adjustments (the “ACC Acquisition”). The ACC Acquisition was initially funded through borrowings under our senior unsecured revolving credit facility. Such borrowings were subsequently repaid with proceeds from our March 2017 issuance of common units to AAP pursuant to the Omnibus Agreement and in connection with a PAGP underwritten equity offering. See Note 9 for additional information. Upon completion of the ACC Acquisition, we became the owner of a crude oil gathering system known as “Alpha Crude Connector” (the “ACC System”) located in the Northern Delaware Basin in Southeastern New Mexico and West Texas. The ACC System comprises 515 miles of gathering and transmission lines and five market interconnects, including to our Basin Pipeline at Wink. We intend to make additional interconnects to our existing Northern Delaware Basin systems as well as additional enhancements intended to increase the ACC System capacity to approximately 350,000 barrels per day, depending on the level of volume at each delivery point. The ACC System is supported by acreage dedications covering approximately 315,000 gross acres, and include a significant acreage dedication from one of the largest producers in the region. The ACC System complements our other Permian Basin assets and enhances the services available to the producers in the Northern Delaware Basin. The determination of the acquisition-date fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed is preliminary. We expect to finalize our fair value determination in 2017. The following table reflects the preliminary fair value determination (in millions):
Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed: |  | Estimated Useful Lives (Years) |  | Recognized amount
Property and equipment |  | 3 - 70 |  | $ | 299 |
Intangible assets |  | 20 |  | 646 |
Goodwill |  | N/A |  | 271 |
Other assets and liabilities, net (including $4 million of cash acquired) |  | N/A |  | 1 |
|  |  |  | $ | 1,217 |
Intangible assets are included in “Other long-term assets, net” on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The preliminary determination of fair value to intangible assets above is comprised of five acreage dedication contracts and associated customer relationships that will be amortized over a remaining weighted average useful life of approximately 20 years. The value assigned to such intangible assets will be amortized to earnings using methods that closely resemble the pattern in which the economic benefits will be consumed. Amortization expense was approximately $4 million for the period from February 14, 2017 through June 30, 2017, and the future amortization expense is estimated as follows for the next five years (in millions):
Remainder of 2017 |  | $ | 6 |
2018 |  | $ | 25 |
2019 |  | $ | 34 |
2020 |  | $ | 42 |
2021 |  | $ | 48 |
Goodwill is an intangible asset representing the future economic benefits expected to be derived from other assets acquired that are not individually identified and separately recognized. The goodwill arising from the ACC Acquisition, which is tax deductible, represents the anticipated opportunities to generate future cash flows from undedicated acreage and the synergies created between the ACC System and our existing assets. The assets acquired in the ACC Acquisition, as well as the associated goodwill, are primarily included in our Transportation segment. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, we incurred approximately $1 million and $6 million of acquisition-related costs associated with the ACC Acquisition. Such costs are reflected as a component of general and administrative expenses in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Pro forma financial information assuming the ACC Acquisition had occurred as of the beginning of the calendar year prior to the year of acquisition, as well as the revenues and earnings generated during the period since the acquisition date, were not material for disclosure purposes. Other Acquisitions In February 2017, we acquired a propane marine terminal for cash consideration of approximately $41 million. The assets acquired are included in our Facilities segment. We did not recognize any goodwill related to this acquisition. Investment Acquisition On April 3, 2017, we and an affiliate of Noble Midstream Partners LP (“Noble”) completed the acquisition of Advantage Pipeline, L.L.C. (“Advantage”) for a purchase price of $133 million through a newly formed 50/50 joint venture (the “Advantage Joint Venture”). For our 50% share ($66.5 million), we contributed approximately 1.3 million common units with a value of approximately $40 million and approximately $26 million in cash. We account for our interest in the Advantage Joint Venture under the equity method of accounting. Advantage owns a 70-mile, 16-inch crude oil pipeline located in the southern Delaware Basin (the “Advantage Pipeline”). Noble will serve as operator and will construct a pipeline to deliver crude oil to the Advantage Pipeline from its central gathering facility in the southern Delaware Basin. We will construct a pipeline to connect our Wolfbone Ranch facility to the Advantage Pipeline near Highway 285 in Reeves County, Texas. The connections are estimated to be completed in 2017. The Advantage Pipeline is contractually supported by a third-party acreage dedication and a volume commitment from our wholly-owned marketing subsidiary. Dispositions, Divestitures and Assets Held for Sale During the six months ended June 30, 2017, we sold certain non-core assets for proceeds of approximately $389 million. These sales primarily included (i) our Bluewater natural gas storage facility located in Michigan, (ii) a non-core pipeline segment located in the Midwestern United States and (iii) a 40% undivided interest in a segment of our Red River Pipeline extending from Cushing, Oklahoma to the Hewitt Station near Ardmore, Oklahoma (the “Hewitt Segment”) for our net book value. We retained a 60% undivided interest in the Hewitt Segment and a 100% interest in the remaining portion of the Red River Pipeline that extends from Ardmore to Longview, Texas. We recognized a net gain of $36 million during the six months ended June 30, 2017 related to the sale of the non-core pipeline segment, including the write-off of a portion of the remaining book value. In addition, during the six months ended June 30, 2017, we recognized a loss of $35 million related to assets that were classified as held for sale prior to the closing of the transactions. Such gains and losses are included in “Depreciation and amortization” on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. As of June 30, 2017, we classified approximately $275 million of Facilities segment assets, primarily property and equipment, as held for sale on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet (in “Other current assets”) related to definitive agreements to sell such assets. We expect these transactions to close during 2017. During the third quarter of 2017, we entered into a definitive agreement to sell our interests in certain non-core pipelines in the Rocky Mountains for proceeds of approximately $250 million.
