Pay vs Performance Disclosure [Table] |  |  |
Pay vs Performance [Table Text Block] | Pay Versus Performance As required by Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K, we are providing the following information about the relationship between executive compensation actually paid (“CAP”) and PAA’s financial performance for the periods presented. The CAP dollar amounts shown in the table below have been calculated in accordance with SEC rules; however, meaningful amounts included as CAP (e.g., approximately two-thirds of CAP for our PEO in 2022) do not represent compensation actually paid or earned during the applicable years. This is due to the fact that CAP includes, in addition to base salary, bonus, the value of equity awards that vested during the year and DERs (“realized value”), the value of outstanding equity awards that could potentially vest in future years (“potentially realizable future value”). With respect to our principal executive officer (“PEO”) for 2022, ~34.5% of the ~$14.5 million of CAP (or ~$5 million) represents the “realized value” of amounts actually paid to or earned by our PEO and ~65.5% (or ~$9.5 million) represents “future potentially realizable value” of outstanding equity awards. With respect to our other NEOs (“Non-PEO NEOs”) for 2022, ~43% of the ~$8.1 million of average CAP (or ~$3.5 million) represents the “realized value” of amounts actually paid to or earned by our non-PEO NEOs and ~57% (or ~$4.6 million) represents “future potentially realizable value” of outstanding equity awards. Tabular Disclosure of Compensation Actually Paid versus Performance The following table discloses information on CAP to our PEO and, on average, to our Non-PEO NEOs during the specified years alongside TSR, net income, and the Company-selected measure of Adjusted EBITDA Attributable to PAA. Adjusted EBITDA Attributable to PAA was identified by the Company as the most important financial performance measure used to link CAP to Company performance.

(1) For each of the years presented, our PEO is Willie Chiang and our Non-PEO NEOs are Harry Pefanis, Al Swanson, Richard McGee, Chris Chandler and Jeremy Goebel. ​ (2) The dollar amounts shown in these columns reflect CAP as calculated in accordance with SEC rules. As required, the dollar amounts include (among other items) values for unvested equity compensation that may or may not be realized in future periods, and as such, the dollar amounts shown do not necessarily represent the actual amount of compensation earned or paid during the applicable years. ​ (3) TSR figures assume an initial investment of $100 in PAA on December 31, 2019. The peer group referenced for purposes of the TSR comparison is the group of companies included in the Alerian Midstream Energy Index, which is the same index used for purposes of Item 201(e) of Regulation S-K. ​ The adjustments made to the Summary Compensation Table (“SCT”) amounts to determine CAP are shown in the tables below: PEO — Reconciliation of SCT Total to CAP Total(a)
