We include rights-of-way, which are intangible assets, in our pipeline and related facilities amounts within property and equipment. See Note 6 for a discussion of property and equipment.

Amortization expense for finite-lived intangible assets for the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016 was $66 million, $54 million and $44 million, respectively.

Intangible assets that have finite lives are tested for impairment when events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. We did not recognize any impairments of finite-lived intangible assets during the three years ended December 31, 2018. Our intangible assets that have finite lives consisted of the following (in millions):
