Equity Method Investments and Joint Ventures [Abstract]

(5) Equity Method Investments

We have variable interest in certain entities for which we have applied the VIE model under FASB ASC Topic 810, Consolidation and determined that these entities are variable interest entities. While we concluded we are not the primary beneficiary of these entities, we do have significant influence over their operating and financial policies and, therefore, applied the equity method of accounting for the respective investments. These investments are presented within Other long-term assets on our condensed consolidated financial statements:

•CVR-CapturePoint Parent, LLC (“CVRP JV”) - As part of a series of agreements entered into by our subsidiaries with unaffiliated parties with the objective to monetize certain tax credits under Section 45Q of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (“45Q Transaction”), we received a 50% interest in CVRP JV in connection with a modification to a carbon oxide contract (“CO Contract”) with a customer.

•Enable South Central Pipeline, LLC (“Enable JV”) - Through our subsidiaries, we own a 40% interest in Enable JV, which operates a 12-inch 26-mile crude oil pipeline with a capacity of approximately 80,000 barrels per day that is connected to the Wynnewood Refinery. The remaining interest in Enable JV is owned by Enable Midstream Partners, LP, which was merged with Energy Transfer LP in December 2021.

•Midway Pipeline, LLC (“Midway JV”) - Through our subsidiaries, we own a 50% interest in Midway JV, which operates a 16-inch 99-mile crude oil pipeline with a capacity of approximately 131,000 barrels per day which connects the Coffeyville Refinery to the Cushing, Oklahoma oil hub. The remaining interest in Midway JV is owned by Plains Pipeline, L.P.
