Segment Reporting [Abstract]  
Business Segments and Related Information
Note 10. Business Segments and Related Information
Our operations are reported under four business segments: (i) NGL Pipelines & Services, (ii) Crude Oil Pipelines & Services, (iii) Natural Gas Pipelines & Services and (iv) Petrochemical & Refined Products Services. Our business segments are generally organized and managed according to the types of services rendered (or technologies employed) and products produced and/or sold.
Financial information regarding these segments is evaluated regularly by our co-chief operating decision makers (“CODMs”) in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing our operating and financial performance. The co-principal executive officers of our general partner have been identified as our CODMs.
The following information summarizes the assets and operations of each business segment:
Our NGL Pipelines & Services business segment includes our natural gas processing and related NGL marketing activities, NGL pipelines, NGL fractionation facilities, NGL and related product storage facilities, and NGL marine terminals.
Our Crude Oil Pipelines & Services business segment includes our crude oil pipelines, crude oil storage and marine terminals, and related crude oil marketing activities.
Our Natural Gas Pipelines & Services business segment includes our natural gas pipeline systems that provide for the gathering, treating and transportation of natural gas. This segment also includes our natural gas marketing activities.
Our Petrochemical & Refined Products Services business segment includes our (i) propylene production facilities, which include propylene fractionation units and PDH facilities, and related pipelines and marketing activities, (ii) butane isomerization complex and related deisobutanizer operations, (iii) octane enhancement, iBDH and HPIB production facilities, (iv) refined products pipelines, terminals and related marketing activities, (v) ethylene export terminal and related operations; and (vi) marine transportation business.
Our plants, pipelines and other fixed assets are located in the U.S.
Segment Gross Operating Margin
Our CODMs evaluate segment performance based on our financial measure of gross operating margin. Gross operating margin is an important performance measure of the core profitability of our operations, forms the basis of our internal financial reporting, and is used by our CODMs on a monthly basis to monitor budgeted versus actual results. Our CODMs also consider gross operating margin results, in part, when determining how to allocate resources (e.g., employees and capital investments) to each segment, primarily in the annual budget process. We believe that investors benefit from having access to the same financial measures that our management uses in evaluating segment results. Gross operating margin is exclusive of other income and expense transactions, income taxes, the cumulative effect of changes in accounting principles and extraordinary charges. Gross operating margin is presented on a 100% basis before any allocation of earnings to noncontrolling interests. Our calculation of gross operating margin may or may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.
The following table presents a reconciliation of total segment gross operating margin to income before income taxes for the periods indicated:

Adjustments to reconcile total segment gross operating margin to income before income taxes (addition or subtraction indicated by sign):
Depreciation, amortization and accretion expense in operating costs and expenses (1)(671)(610)(1,327)(1,212)
Asset impairment charges in operating costs and expenses(9)(11)(17)(21)
Net gains attributable to asset sales and related matters in operating costs and expenses
General and administrative costs(64)(68)(128)(128)
Non-refundable payments received from shippers attributable to make-up rights (2)(10)(6)(43)(43)

Total other expense, net (4)(381)(325)(758)(656)
Income before income taxes$1,868 $1,470 $3,386 $2,900 
(1)Excludes amortization of major maintenance costs for reaction-based plants and amortization of finance lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets, which are components of gross operating margin.
(2)Since make-up rights entail a future performance obligation by the pipeline to the shipper, these receipts are recorded as deferred revenue for GAAP purposes; however, these receipts are included in gross operating margin in the period of receipt since they are non-refundable to the shipper.
(3)As deferred revenues attributable to make-up rights are subsequently recognized as revenue under GAAP, gross operating margin must be adjusted to remove such amounts to prevent duplication since the associated non-refundable payments were previously included in gross operating margin.
(4)As presented on our Unaudited Condensed Statements of Consolidated Operations, Total other expense, net is comprised of Interest expense, Interest income and Other, net.

Fluctuations in our product sales revenues and cost of sales amounts are explained in large part by changes in energy commodity prices. In general, higher energy commodity prices result in an increase in our revenues attributable to product sales; however, these higher commodity prices would also be expected to increase the associated cost of sales as purchase costs are higher. The same type of relationship would be true in the case of lower energy commodity sales prices and purchase costs.
