Impairments
Impairments	Note 15—Impairments During the third quarter of 2012, we recognized losses on impairments of long-lived assets of approximately $125 million, primarily related to our Pier 400 terminal project, which is reflected in “Depreciation and amortization” on our condensed consolidated statement of operations. This project, which we acquired in late 2006 by virtue of our merger with Pacific Energy Partners, L.P., was to develop a deepwater petroleum import terminal at Pier 400 and Terminal Island in the Port of Los Angeles to handle marine receipts of crude oil and refinery feedstock. During the third quarter of 2012, we decided not to proceed with the development of this project. A number of factors contributed to the uncertainties with respect to financial returns and the determination not to proceed with the project, including project delays, the economic downturn, regulatory and permitting hurdles, a challenging refining environment in California and an industry shift in the outlook for availability of domestic crude oil. We assessed the recoverability of these long-lived assets and, where necessary, performed further analysis based on a projected discounted cash flow methodology. As a result of this impairment review, we wrote off a substantial portion of the carrying amount of these long-lived assets, except for the portion that we anticipate we will recover. These project assets were included in our Facilities segment. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, we recognized impairments of approximately $8 million and $15 million, respectively, related predominantly to assets taken out of service and canceled projects.
