(2)The Capline pipeline was taken out of service pending the reversal of the pipeline system. (3)Asset is currently under construction and has not yet been placed in service. Impairments In March 2020, the partners of Red Oak announced they were deferring the Red Oak pipeline project and suspending actions that would require additional capital spending on the project, and that they would re-evaluate demand for the project in light of recent market developments. During the second quarter, PAA determined that it would not proceed with the project as previously contemplated, and determined that there was an other-than-temporary impairment of its investment in Red Oak. PAA wrote its investment in Red Oak down to the estimated residual value of its share of the net assets. In addition, during the first quarter of 2020, PAA recorded a write-down of certain of its investments included in “Other investments” in the table above due to an other-than-temporary impairment related to a decline in market conditions. As a result of these write-downs, during the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, we recognized losses of $69 million and $112 million, respectively. These losses are reflected in “Gain on/(impairment of) investments in unconsolidated entities, net” on our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. Divestitures Saddlehorn. In February 2020, we sold a 10% ownership interest in Saddlehorn for proceeds of approximately $78 million, including working capital adjustments, and have retained a 30% ownership interest. We recorded a gain of approximately $21 million related to this sale, which is included in “Gain on/(impairment of) investments in unconsolidated entities” on our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. We continue to account for our remaining interest under the equity method of accounting.
