−Removed: Fair Value of the Preferred Distribution Rate Reset Option
−Removed: As described in Note 12 to the consolidated financial statements, the Preferred Distribution Rate Reset Option of the Partnership’s Series A preferred units was an embedded derivative that was bifurcated from the related host contract and recorded at fair value.
−Removed: The fair value on the settlement date was $131 million, which resulted in a gain of $58 million recognized in other income.
−Removed: Management determined the fair value based on a Monte Carlo valuation model that estimated the fair value of the Series A preferred units with and without the Preferred Distribution Rate Reset Option.
−Removed: This model relied on assumptions for forecasts for the ten-year U.S.
−Removed: Treasury rate, the Partnership’s common unit price, and default probabilities which impacted timing estimates as to when the option will be exercised.
−Removed: The principal considerations for our determination that performing procedures relating to the fair value of the Preferred Distribution Rate Reset Option is a critical audit matter are the significant judgment by management when developing the fair value estimate of the Preferred Distribution Rate Reset Option using the Monte Carlo valuation model.
−Removed: This in turn led to a high degree of auditor judgment, subjectivity, and effort in performing procedures and evaluating the Monte Carlo valuation model and management’s significant assumption related to forecasts for the ten-year U.S.

+Added: The Partnership recognized crude oil sales of $47,036 million for the year ended December 31, 2024.
+Added: The principal consideration for our determination that performing procedures relating to revenue recognition for crude oil sales is a critical audit matter is a high degree of auditor effort in performing procedures related to the Partnership’s revenue recognition.
Addressing the matter involved performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence in connection with forming our overall opinion on the consolidated financial statements.
−Removed: These procedures included testing the effectiveness of controls relating to the fair value of the Preferred Distribution Rate Reset Option, including the appropriateness of the Monte Carlo valuation model, the significant assumption, and data used in developing the fair value estimate.
−Removed: These procedures also included, among others (i) testing the completeness and accuracy of the contractual information from the Series A preferred unit agreement that is used in the valuation model, (ii) evaluating the reasonableness of, and testing the accuracy of, inputs used to estimate the fair value of the Preferred Distribution Rate Reset Option, and (iii) the involvement of professionals with specialized skill and knowledge to assist in evaluating the reasonableness of management’s estimate by developing (a) an independent Monte Carlo valuation model and (b) an independent range of fair values using independently developed forecasts for the ten-year U.S.
−Removed: Treasury rate and comparing the independent range of fair values to management’s estimate.
+Added: These procedures included testing the effectiveness of controls relating to the revenue recognition process for crude oil sales.
+Added: These procedures also included, among others (i) testing revenue recognized for a sample of crude oil sales revenue transactions by obtaining and inspecting source documents, such as contracts, settlement statements, invoices, and payment receipts and (ii) confirming a sample of outstanding customer invoice balances as of December 31, 2024, and for confirmations not returned, obtaining and inspecting source documents, such as contracts, settlement statements, invoices, and subsequent payment receipts.

+Added: In response to denials of coverage or other failures to timely tender payment, we initiated final and binding insurance arbitration proceedings against the insurers responsible for the remaining $ 225 million of coverage.
+Added: Such insurers generally alleged that some or all damages encompassed by the Class Action Settlement were not covered by their policies and that all or some portion of the $ 275 million for which we had already received insurance reimbursement did not, for purposes of determining whether their policies were triggered, properly exhaust the underlying policies that paid those sums.
+Added: As of December 31, 2023, we believed that our claim for reimbursement was probable of recovery despite the ongoing arbitration proceedings.
+Added: Our belief at that time was based on:

+Added: However, at that time we also noted that various factors could impact the timing and amount of recovery of our insurance receivable, including future developments that adversely impacted our assessment of the strength of our coverage claims, the outcome of any dispute resolution proceedings with respect to our coverage claims (including arbitration proceedings) and the extent to which insurers may become insolvent in the future.

−Removed: As of December 31, 2023, our incurred costs for the Line 901 incident have exceeded our insurance coverage limit of $ 500 million related to our 2015 insurance program applicable to the Line 901 incident by $ 250 million.
−Removed: Through December 31, 2023, we had collected, subject to customary reservations, approximately $ 280 million out of the $ 505 million of release costs that we believe are probable of recovery from insurance carriers (including the 2015 insurance program and our directors and officers (D&O) insurance policies), net of deductibles.
−Removed: Therefore, as of December 31, 2023, we have recognized a long-term receivable of approximately $ 225 million for the portion of the release costs that we believe is probable of recovery from insurance, net of deductibles and amounts already collected.
−Removed: We anticipate that the process to enforce our coverage claims with respect to the Class Action Settlement will take time and, accordingly, have recognized such amount as a long-term asset in “Other assets” on our Consolidated Balance Sheet.
−Removed: We have completed the required clean-up and remediation work as determined by the Unified Command and the Unified Command has been dissolved;
−Removed: however, we expect to make payments for additional legal, professional and regulatory costs during future periods.
−Removed: Taking into account the costs that we have included in our total estimate of costs for the Line 901 incident and considering what we regard as very strong defenses to the claims made in our remaining Line 901 lawsuits, we do not believe the ultimate resolution of such remaining lawsuits will have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
+Added: As of December 31, 2023, we had recognized a receivable of approximately $ 225 million for the portion of the release costs that we believed were probable of recovery from insurance, net of deductibles and amounts already collected (approximately $ 280 million out of the $ 505 million submitted, including the 2015 insurance program and our directors and officers (D&O) insurance policies).
+Added: Of this amount, we had classified $ 175 million as a short-term asset in “Trade accounts receivable and other receivables, net” with the remaining $ 50 million recognized as a long-term asset in “Other long-term assets, net” on our Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2023.
+Added: Following the arbitration panel ruling discussed above, we wrote off the full $ 225 million insurance receivable in the fourth quarter of 2024.
+Added: Therefore, as of December 31, 2024, we no longer have any amounts recorded as receivables related to the Line 901 incident recognized on our Consolidated Balance Sheet.
