Overview
OVERVIEW
SemGroup Corporation is a Delaware corporation headquartered in Tulsa, Oklahoma that provides diversified services for end-users and consumers of crude oil, natural gas, natural gas liquids, refined products and asphalt. SemGroup Corporation began operations on November 30, 2009, as the successor entity of SemGroup, L.P., which was an Oklahoma limited partnership.
On July 22, 2008 (the “Petition Date”), SemGroup, L.P. and certain subsidiaries filed petitions for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. Also on July 22, 2008, SemGroup, L.P.’s Canadian subsidiaries filed applications for creditor protection in Canada under the Companies’ Creditors Arrangement Act (the “CCAA”). Later during 2008, certain other U.S. subsidiaries filed petitions for reorganization. While in bankruptcy, SemGroup, L.P. filed a Plan of Reorganization with the court, which was confirmed on October 28, 2009. The Plan of Reorganization determined, among other things, how pre-Petition Date obligations would be settled, the equity structure of the reorganized company upon emergence, and the financing arrangements upon emergence. SemGroup Corporation emerged from bankruptcy on November 30, 2009 (the “Emergence Date”).
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the activities of SemGroup Corporation from January 1, 2010 through December 31, 2012. The terms “we,” “our,” “us,” “the Company” and similar language used in these notes to consolidated financial statements refer to SemGroup Corporation and its subsidiaries.
Our reportable segments include the following:
We previously referred to our crude business as SemCrude, but following the contribution of SemCrude, L.P. to Rose Rock Midstream, L.P. ("Rose Rock"), we now refer to this reportable segment as “Crude”. Crude conducts crude oil transportation, storage, terminalling, gathering, blending, and marketing operations in the United States. Crude’s assets include
the 2% general partner interest and 58% of the limited partner interest in Rose Rock, which owns an approximate 640-mile crude oil pipeline network in Kansas and Oklahoma, a crude oil gathering, storage and marketing business in the Bakken Shale in North Dakota and Montana and a crude oil storage facility in Cushing, Oklahoma with a capacity of 7.0 million barrels; and
a 51% ownership interest in White Cliffs Pipeline, L.L.C. (“White Cliffs”), which owns a 527-mile pipeline that transports crude oil from Platteville, Colorado to Cushing, Oklahoma (“the White Cliffs Pipeline”).
SemStream, which owns 9,133,409 common units representing 18% of the total limited partner interests, as of September 30, 2012, in NGL Energy Partners LP (“NGL Energy”), which owns and operates wholesale and retail propane storage and distribution assets, crude oil logistics and water treatment services in the United States, and a 6.42% interest in the general partner of NGL Energy. We report the results of our investment in NGL Energy on a one-quarter lag (Note 5).
SemCAMS, which provides natural gas gathering and processing services in Alberta, Canada. SemCAMS owns working interests in, and operates, four natural gas processing plants and a network of over 600 miles of natural gas gathering and transportation pipelines.
SemGas, which provides natural gas gathering and processing services in the United States. SemGas owns and operates over 900 miles of gathering pipelines in Kansas, Oklahoma, and Texas and three processing plants in Oklahoma and Texas.
SemLogistics, which provides refined product and crude oil storage services in the United Kingdom. SemLogistics owns a facility in Wales that has a storage capacity of approximately 8.7 million barrels.
SemMexico, which purchases, produces, stores, and distributes liquid asphalt cement products in Mexico. SemMexico operates twelve manufacturing plants, two emulsion distribution terminals and two portable rail unloading facilities.
We previously had a seventh segment, SemCanada Crude, which aggregated and blended crude oil in Western Canada. Due to adverse market conditions impacting this segment, we sold the property, plant and equipment of SemCanada Crude in late 2010 and began winding down its operations (Note 6).
