14. LEASES

The Partnership adopted ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) on January 1, 2019, using the modified retrospective method applied to all leases in existence on January 1, 2019. The Partnership elected not to reassess contracts that commenced prior to adoption, to continue applying its current accounting policy for existing or expired land easements, and not to recognize ROU assets or lease liabilities for short-term leases.

Lessee. The Partnership has entered into operating leases for corporate offices, shared field offices, easements, and equipment supporting the Partnership’s operations, with both Occidental and third parties as lessors. The Partnership also had subleased equipment from Occidental via finance leases that extended through April 2020.

During the first quarter of 2020, the Partnership entered into finance leases with third parties for equipment and vehicles. Certain of these equipment leases were amended during the third quarter of 2021 requiring reassessment of lease classification. As a result, these leases were classified as operating leases.

Lessor, Operating Leases

Lessor. Effective December 31, 2019, an affiliate of Occidental and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Partnership, the lessor, entered into an operating and maintenance agreement pursuant to which Occidental provides operational and maintenance services with respect to a crude-oil gathering system and associated treating facilities owned by the Partnership through December 31, 2021. The agreement and underlying contracts include (i) fixed consideration, which is measured as the minimum-volume commitment for both gathering and treating, and (ii) variable consideration, which consists of all volumes above the minimum-volume commitment. Subsequent to the initial two-year term, the agreement provides for automatic one-year extensions, unless either party exercises its option to terminate the lease with advance notice. In April 2021, the Partnership exercised its option to terminate the operating and maintenance agreement with Occidental effective December 31, 2021. For the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Partnership recognized fixed-lease revenue of $175.8 million and $175.8 million, respectively, and variable-lease revenue of $3.5 million and $47.9 million, respectively, related to these agreements, with such amounts included in Service revenues – fee based in the consolidated statements of operations.

In December 2021, one of the Partnership’s processing agreements was amended. The amended contract was determined to be a lease agreement; however, the Partnership elected the practical expedient to combine the lease and the non-lease components, which consists of processing and stabilization services, into a single service component and will account for the contract under Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606).
