Related Party Transactions [Abstract]
Related Party Transactions	Related Party Transactions Asset Acquisitions and Sales From time to time in the ordinary course of business, we buy and sell assets and related services from KMI and its subsidiaries. Such transactions are conducted in accordance with all applicable laws and regulations and on an arms’-length basis consistent with our policies governing such transactions. In conjunction with our acquisition of (i) certain Natural Gas Pipelines assets and partnership interests from KMI in December 1999 and December 2000; (ii) TransColorado Gas Transmission Company LLC from KMI in November 2004; (iii) TGP and 50% of EPNG from KMI in August 2012; and (iv) the March 2013 drop-down asset group, KMI has agreed to indemnify us and our general partner with respect to approximately $5.9 billion of our debt as of June 30, 2014. KMI would be obligated to perform under this indemnity only if we are unable, and/or our assets were insufficient, to satisfy our obligations. Contingent Debt Our contingent debt disclosures pertain to certain types of guarantees or indemnifications we have made and cover certain types of guarantees included within debt agreements, even if the likelihood of requiring our performance under such guarantees or indemnifications are remote. As of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, our contingent debt obligations, as well as our obligations with respect to related letters of credit, totaled $79 million and $74 million, respectively. Other Commitments One of our wholly owned subsidiaries is committed to contribute $175 million to one of our unconsolidated subsidiaries during 2014.

The entire disclosure for related party transactions. Examples of related party transactions include transactions between (a) a parent company and its subsidiary; (b) subsidiaries of a common parent; (c) and entity and its principal owners; and (d) affiliates.
