The licensing agreements referred to in the table above relate to the agreements we have with refiners to provide services. The supply and logistics lease relates to a terminal facility in Shreveport, Louisiana. We are recording amortization of our intangible assets based on the period over which the asset is expected to contribute to our future cash flows. Generally, the contribution to our cash flows of the customer and supplier relationships, licensing agreements and trade name intangible assets is expected to decline over time, such that greater value is attributable to the periods shortly after the acquisition was made. The supply and logistics lease and other intangible assets are being amortized on a straight-line basis. Amortization expense on intangible assets was $30.9 million, $26.8 million and $33.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The following table reflects our estimated amortization expense for each of the five subsequent fiscal years:
|  | 2012 |  |  | 2013 |  |  | 2014 |  |  | 2015 |  |  | 2016 |
Refinery services customer relationships |  | $ | 7,056 |  |  | $ | 7,116 |  |  | $ | 5,597 |  |  | $ | 4,405 |  |  | $ | 3,471 |

In the first quarter of 2011, we adjusted the useful lives of our supply and logistics trade names. As a result of this change in the amortization period of our assets, operating income and net income attributable to us for 2011 decreased $7.7 million, or $0.11 per common unit. The impact of this change on net income is not expected to be material in future periods. The table of estimated future amortization expense above reflects this change. Goodwill The carrying amount of goodwill by business segment at both December 31, 2011 and 2010 was $301.9 million in refinery services and $23.1 million in supply and logistics. We have not recognized any impairment losses related to goodwill for any of the periods presented. Other Assets Other assets consisted of the following.
|  | December 31, |
|  | 2011 |  |  | 2010 |
CO 2 volumetric production payments, net of amortization |  | $ | 12,158 |  |  | $ | 15,852 |
Other deferred costs and deposits |  |  | 17,848 |  |  |  | 16,196 |
Other assets, net of amortization |  | $ | 30,006 |  |  | $ | 32,048 |
The CO 2 assets are being amortized on a units-of-production method. We recorded amortization of $3.7 million in 2011, and $4.3 million in both 2010 and 2009. We have 77.2 Bcf of CO 2 remaining under the volumetric production payments at December 31, 2011.
