CONTINGENCIES

In the ordinary course of business, we may become party to lawsuits, administrative proceedings and governmental investigations, including environmental, regulatory and other matters. The outcome of these matters cannot always be predicted accurately, but we will accrue liabilities for these matters if the amount is probable and can be reasonably estimated. Other than as described below, in Part II, Item 1 of this Report, in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 or in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2017, we do not have any other material outstanding lawsuits, administrative proceedings or governmental investigations.

XTO ENERGY INC. V. QEP FIELD SERVICES COMPANY. XTO Energy Inc. (“XTO”) was seeking monetary damages related to our allocation of charges related to XTO’s share of natural gas liquid transportation, fractionation and marketing costs associated with shortfalls in contractual firm processing volumes. In May 2017, we agreed to a settlement with XTO regarding the disputed receivables, which resulted in a write-off of $5 million of accounts receivable and reversal of previously recognized revenue during the three months ended June 30, 2017 related to the dispute. No disputed receivables related to XTO remain after the settlement.
