+Added: Business and Economic Environment Overview
+Added: During the second quarter 2022, the domestic oil and gas industry benefited from unprecedented conditions, including continued post-Pandemic demand exacerbated by global supply constraints.
+Added: Crude oil supply constraints have persisted for a variety of reasons, including the continued effects from Pandemic-related refinery closures as well as the continuing impact of sanctions on Russian oil exports and transportation as a result of the ongoing Russia-Ukraine War.
+Added: At the same time, supply chain constraints continue across industries, attributable to labor and driver shortages as well as lingering international trade tensions.
+Added: These and other factors have triggered an inflationary environment, resulting in a 9.1% year-over-year increase in the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers as of June 30, 2022, as well as significant increases across virtually every category (including food, utilities and motor fuel), with fuel oil and other fuels showing the largest twelve-month increase as of June 30, 2022 of 70.4% and motor fuel showing the second largest increase of 60.2%.
+Added: To combat the inflationary environment, the Federal Reserve has raised interest rates 225 bps since January 2022, representing a 900% increase over the 0.25% fed funds rate which held steady for all of 2021.
+Added: The stock market volatility is reflective of the stressed economic environment as well, with the S&P 500 and the Dow Industrial Average falling 11.9% and 10.3%.
+Added: respectively, as of June 30, 2022, compared to June 30, 2021.
+Added: For the broader market, debt and equity are generally expensive, while stock buy-backs may be at a bargain, while for the energy sector, there have been pockets of opportunity thanks to the strong energy-specific economics.
+Added: This environment provides unique opportunities for those midstream companies that have successfully weathered the Pandemic.
+Added: Record-setting or near-record crack spreads and continued supply-constrained demand should continue to prompt exploration and production as well as refining utilization.
+Added: Additionally, midstream companies, many of which have built-in recessionary protections as a result of minimum volume commitments on throughput and dedicated acreage agreements, are positioned to capitalize on increased gathering opportunities and run barrels through logistics assets at higher utilization than the minimums during this period.
+Added: Furthermore, because of this favorability, well-positioned midstream and downstream players can potentially take advantage of capital markets when the timing is right.
+Added: Likewise, strategic acquisitions in midstream can be particularly favorable, because of that built-in recessionary protection.
+Added: In June 2022, we successfully closed on an acquisition that expands our gathering footprint into the Delaware sub-basin of the Permian, and expands our product offering to include natural gas gathering and processing as well as wastewater processing and disposal.
+Added: This acquisition not only diversifies our logistics customer base to include significantly more third-party customers, it allows us to provide comprehensive logistics services in the Delaware Basin, while also serving as a funnel into our existing midstream Permian activities.
+Added: While the incremental contribution margin for the second quarter only included one month, we expect that the acquisition will be immediately accretive, delivering incremental contribution margin and cash flows attributable to existing long-term dedicated acreage agreements as well as some contracts with minimum volume commitments.
+Added: Additionally, the Delaware sub-basin is one of the most prolific drilling locations in the U.S., providing us significant opportunity for expanded gathering and processing as the producers ramp up production.
Our Reporting Segments and Assets

+Added: The operational assets and investments in our pipelines and transportation segment consist of pipelines, tanks, offloading facilities, trucks and ancillary assets, which provide crude oil gathering and crude oil, intermediate and refined products transportation and storage services primarily in support of Delek Holdings' refining operations in Tyler, Texas, El Dorado, Arkansas and Big Spring, Texas.
Additionally, the assets in this segment provide crude oil transportation services to certain third parties.
1 unchanged sentence
Therefore, we are not directly exposed to changes in commodity prices with respect to this operating segment.
+Added: The Partnership generates revenue in its pipelines and transportation segment by charging fees to customers, generally based on throughput or other relevant volumetric measures, for services associated with gathering, transporting, offloading and storing crude oil and refined
+Added: Management's Discussion and Analysis
+Added: Furthermore, a substantial majority of our pipelines and transportation segment revenues (and also contribution margin) is derived from commercial agreements with Delek Holdings with initial terms ranging from five to ten years, which gives us a contractual revenue base that we believe enhances the stability of our cash flows.
+Added: As more fully described below, our commercial agreements with Delek Holdings typically include minimum volume or throughput commitments by Delek Holdings, which we believe will provide a stable revenue stream in the future.
+Added: The fees charged under our agreements with Delek Holdings and third parties are indexed to inflation-based indices.
+Added: In addition, the rates charged with respect to our assets that are subject to inflation indexing may increase or decrease, typically on July 1 of each year, by the amount of any change in various inflation-based indices, including FERC, provided that in no event will the fees be adjusted below the amount initially set forth in the applicable agreement.
Wholesale Marketing and Terminalling
−Removed: The assets in our wholesale marketing and terminalling segment consist of refined products terminals and pipelines in Texas, Tennessee, Arkansas and Oklahoma.
+Added: The operational assets in our wholesale marketing and terminalling segment consist of refined products terminals and pipelines in Texas, Tennessee, Arkansas and Oklahoma.
We generate revenue in our wholesale marketing and terminalling segment by providing marketing services for the refined products output of the Tyler and Big Spring refineries, engaging in wholesale activity at our terminals in West Texas and at terminals owned by third parties, whereby we purchase light products for sale and exchange to third parties, and by providing terminalling services at our refined products terminals to independent third parties and Delek Holdings.
+Added: Our wholesale marketing and terminalling segment provides wholesale marketing and terminalling services to Delek’s refining operations and to independent third parties from whom we receive fees for marketing, transporting, storing and terminalling refined products and to whom we wholesale market refined products.
+Added: In providing certain of these services, we take ownership of the products and are therefore exposed to market risks related to the volatility of commodity and refined product prices in our West Texas operations, which depend on many factors, including demand and supply of refined products in the West Texas market, the timing of refined product deliveries and downtime at refineries in the surrounding area.
+Added: Effective March 1, 2018, this segment also includes certain wholesale marketing and terminalling assets acquired from Delek, primarily located at or adjacent to the Big Spring Refinery.
+Added: As of March 31, 2022, we generated revenue in our wholesale marketing and terminalling segment by (i) providing marketing services for the refined products output of the Tyler Refinery and the Big Spring Refinery, (ii) engaging in wholesale activity at our Abilene and San Angelo, Texas terminals, as well as at terminals owned by third parties, whereby we purchase light products for sale and exchange to third parties, and (iii) providing terminalling services to independent third parties and Delek.
+Added: 3 Bear Operations
+Added: The operational assets in our 3 Bear operations segment, which we acquired in connection with the 3 Bear Acquisition, consist of approximately 485 miles of pipelines, 88 million cubic feet ("MMCf") per day ("MMCf/d") of cryogenic natural gas processing capacity, 140 thousand barrels ("MBbl") per day ("MBbl/d") of crude gathering capacity, 120 MBbl of crude storage capacity and 200 MBbl/d of water disposal capacity.
+Added: These assets support 3 Bear’s crude oil and natural gas gathering, processing and transportation businesses, as well as water disposal and recycling operations, located in the Delaware Basin of New Mexico.
+Added: Additionally, the combination of these services provides a comprehensive, integrated midstream service offering to producers.
+Added: With respect to our newly acquired 3 Bear operations segment, we generate two principal types of revenues:
+Added: • Product sales - comprised of residual products as a result of our gathering services where 3 Bear meets the definition of the principal rather than an agent, and where such revenue is recognized upon satisfaction of the performance obligation, which is generally upon delivery
+Added: • Gathering and processing services - comprised of fees charged for one or more of the following services under dedicated acreage and other long-term fee-based contracts:
+Added: gathering, processing and transportation of natural gas;
+Added: gathering, transportation and storage of NGLs;
+Added: gathering, recycling and disposal of wastewater;
+Added: and transportation, storage and distribution of crude oil, and other hydrocarbon-based products.
+Added: The contractual fees are generally related to the volume of natural gas, NGLs, water, crude oil that is gathered, transported, stored or processed and therefore is not directly impacted by commodity prices.
Investments in Pipeline Joint Ventures
−Removed: The Partnership owns a portion of three joint ventures (accounted for as equity method investments) that have constructed separate crude oil pipeline systems and related ancillary assets, which serve third parties and subsidiaries of Delek Holdings.
+Added: The Partnership owns a portion of three joint ventures (accounted for as equity method investments) that have constructed separate crude oil pipeline systems and related ancillary assets, which provide crude oil and refined product pipeline transportation to third parties and subsidiaries of Delek Holdings.

−Removed: During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the U.S.
−Removed: economic activity continued its recovery path resulting in increases in consumption and demand for crude oil and refined products, although heightened uncertainty still remains due to the on-going COVID-19 Pandemic and the spread of new variants of the virus.
−Removed: Compared to the three months ended March 31, 2021, crude oil prices during the three months ended March 31, 2022 were steadily increasing.
−Removed: The price of oil (WTI Cushing) closed at $100.28 per barrel on March 31, 2022, $41.12 per barrel higher than on March 31, 2021.
−Removed: The opening January 2022 price of oil (WTI Cushing) was $76.08 and reached the January 2022 high closing price of oil of $88.15 per barrel.
−Removed: Due to the sustained increase in oil prices, during the three months ended March 31, 2022, we experienced improved margins in the West Texas area, and better throughput for our assets with improved gross margins, when compared to the same period in 2021.
−Removed: We remain positively cautious about the recovery in demand and price of crude oil as it is not without volatility.
−Removed: The COVID-19 Pandemic, future OPEC+ decisions, global geopolitical and economic uncertainty continue to contribute to volatility in the financial and commodity markets.
−Removed: Our exposure to crude oil production, demand and commodity price fluctuations in our pipelines and transportation segment and our joint venture entities was limited due to minimum volume commitments under existing throughput contracts with customers, but continued pressure on our customers could present risks to our existing and new business opportunities as well as on collectability on our receivables.
−Removed: We believe we are strategically positioned, in these tougher market conditions to continue developing profitable growth projects that are needed to support future distribution growth in the midstream energy sector for the Partnership.
−Removed: West Texas Marketing Operations
−Removed: Overall demand for gathering and terminalling services in a particular area is generally driven by crude oil production in the area, which can be impacted by crude oil prices, refining economics and access to alternate delivery and transportation infrastructure.
−Removed: Additionally, volatility in crude oil, intermediate and refined products prices in the West Texas area and the value attributable to RINs can affect the results of our West Texas operations.
−Removed: For example, demand for and prices of crude oil and related refined products increased as economic activity began to recover during 2021 due to the increase in vaccinations.
−Removed: As discussed above, the U.S.
−Removed: economic activity continues to recover and demand for and prices of crude oil and related refined products continued on the rise during the three months ended March 31, 2022, as consumption of oil increased, spurred by easing of COVID-19 related restrictions.
−Removed: Although we expect the direct effects from the pandemic on U.S.
−Removed: oil consumption to decrease, some consumption patterns may be more lasting, including increased working from home and changes in travel behavior, which could limit growth in gasoline and jet fuel consumption.
−Removed: See the chart below for the high, low and average price per barrel of WTI crude oil for each of the quarterly periods in 2021 and for the quarterly period in 2022.
+Added: Fluctuations in crude oil, natural gas and NGLs prices and the prices of related refined and other hydrocarbon products impact our operations and the operations of other master limited partnerships in the midstream energy sector.
+Added: For example, the prices of each of these products have the ability to influence drilling activity in many basins and the amounts of capital spending that crude oil exploration and production companies incur to support future growth.
+Added: Exploration and production activities have a direct impact on volumes transported through our gathering assets in the geologic basins in which we operate.
+Added: Additionally, the demand for hydrocarbon-based refined products and related crack spreads significantly impact production decisions of our refining customers and likewise throughputs on our pipelines and other logistics assets.
+Added: Finally, fluctuations in demand and commodity prices for refined products, as well as the value attributable to RINs, directly impacts our wholesale marketing operations, where we are subject to short-term commodity price fluctuations at the rack.
+Added: Most of the logistics services we provide (including pipelines and transportation, gathering and processing services) are subject to long-term fee-based contracts with minimum volume commitments or long-term dedicated acreage agreements which mitigate most of our short-term financial risk to price and demand volatility.
+Added: However, sustained depressed demand/prices over the longer term could not only curb exploration and production expansion opportunities under our agreements, it could also impact our customers' willingness or ability to renew commercial agreements or result in liquidity or credit constraints that could impact our longer term relationship with them.
+Added: That said, our recent acquisition of 3 Bear improved both our customer and geographic diversification which lowers concentration risk in those areas, in addition to adding service offerings to our portfolio.
+Added: Furthermore, our dedicated acreage agreements provide significant growth opportunities in strong economic conditions (e.g., high demand/high commodity prices) without incremental customer acquisition cost.
+Added: Given all of these factors, we believe that we continue to be strategically positioned, even in tougher market conditions, to sustain positive operating results and cash flows and to continue developing profitable growth projects that are needed to support future distribution growth.
+Added: During the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, the U.S.
+Added: economic activity continued to recover resulting in increases in consumption and demand for crude oil, natural gas and refined products, although the on-going COVID-19 Pandemic and the pervasive inflationary environment (as well as the potential for additional regulatory response) continue to create uncertainty in the markets.
+Added: Compared to the three months ended June 30, 2021, we have a seen a steady increase in average quarterly crude oil prices.
+Added: The average price of crude oil (WTI Cushing) was $108.74 per barrel for the three months ended June 30, 2022, compared to $66.19 for the three months ended June 30, 2021.
+Added: Additionally, average gasoline prices increased to $3.40 for the three months ended June 30, 2022, compared to $1.99 for the three months ended June 30, 2021, and average diesel prices increased to $3.98 for the three months ended June 30, 2022, compared to $1.95 for the three months ended June 30, 2021.
+Added: As we continue our integration of the 3 Bear operations, we look forward to also benefiting from periods of strong demand for natural gas and NGLs, where average natural gas prices were $7.17 at Henry Hub and $6.23 at Waha during the three months ended June 30, 2021.
+Added: Market Outlook for the Remainder of 2022
+Added: As we look to the remainder of the year, commodity markets are predicting a decline in demand as consumer purchasing continues to be eroded by inflation combined with the expectation that the federal reserve may continue to raise interest rates in response.
+Added: Such conditions could spell the declaration of an official recession, which may upend markets in unexpected ways and make capital more difficult to come by.
+Added: However, due to years of global underinvestment in oil production and the possibility of continued sanctions on Russia, supply-constrained demand for oil and related commodity prices may continue to be strong, sitting at or near the higher end of the life-cycle.
+Added: That said, domestic regulatory intervention could put pressure on profits of oil companies and may have unanticipated effects on the commodities markets and capital markets, as well as on exploration and production activities.
+Added: For these reasons, we continue to position the Company to expand our third-party revenue diversification as well as our midstream footprint and product offerings to take advantage of favorable volume environments while working to ensure steady-stream minimum volume income streams and cash flows that will provide sustainability in periods of market disruption.
+Added: Additionally, we will continue to balance the cost of debt and cost of equity while continuing to exercise a longer term sustainable view of capital allocation.
+Added: From a geographic positioning perspective, absent government intervention, industry analysts expect the Brent, a global benchmark crude, to WTI differential to continue to be favorable for domestic exports throughout 2022, including the U.S.
+Added: Gulf Coast region.
+Added: Furthermore, while the likelihood of a favorable Midland-Cushing differential is constrained by overbuilt pipeline capacity, significant export developments and other factors could quickly shift differentials to be more favorable to our Permian-heavy gathering and logistics positioning.
+Added: The charts on the following page provide historical commodity pricing statistics for crude oil, refined product and natural gas.
Management's Discussion and Analysis
−Removed: The volatility of refined products prices may impact our margin in the West Texas operations when the selling price of refined products does not adjust as quickly as the purchase price.

+Added: The fair value of assets and liabilities as of the acquisition date are often estimated using a combination of approaches, including the income approach, which requires us to project future cash flows and apply an appropriate discount rate;
+Added: the cost approach, which requires estimates of replacement costs and depreciation and obsolescence estimates;
+Added: and the market approach which uses market data and adjusts for entity-specific differences.
+Added: We use all available information to make these fair value determinations and engage third-party consultants for valuation assistance.
+Added: The estimates used in determining fair values are based on assumptions believed to be reasonable but which are inherently uncertain.
+Added: Accordingly, actual results may differ materially from the projected results used to determine fair value.
