3. Acquisitions

On October 30, 2015, WNRL acquired the TexNew Mex Pipeline System in exchange for $170 million in cash, 421,031 common units representing limited partner interests in WNRL and 80,000 TexNew Mex Units.

We entered into a pipeline and gathering services agreement, as amended, with Western under which we transport crude oil on our Permian Basin system primarily for use at the El Paso refinery and on our Four Corners system to the Gallup refinery. We charge Western fees for pipeline movements, truck offloading and product storage. See Note 17, Related Party Transactions, for additional information.
