−Removed: The macroeconomic and geopolitical conditions that occurred in 2020, including the collapse of oil prices driven by both the decrease in demand caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and excess supply, as well as changing market conditions and expected lower crude oil production in certain regions, resulted in expected decreases in future cash flows for certain of our assets, which was a triggering event that required us to assess the recoverability of our carrying value of such long-lived assets.
−Removed: As a result of our impairment review, we wrote off the portion of the carrying amount of these long-lived assets that exceeded their fair value.
−Removed: Our estimated fair values (which we consider a Level 3 measurement in the fair value hierarchy) were based upon a discounted cash flow approach utilizing various assumptions and the application of a discount rate of approximately 14 %, which represents our estimate of the cost of capital of a theoretical market participant.

+Added: The transaction was accounted for as a business combination using the acquisition method of accounting.
+Added: In accordance with applicable accounting guidance, the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed following the transaction was utilized as the consideration transferred for the purchase price allocation.

+Added: We considered multiple factors in determining the fair value of the previously-held equity method investment, including, (i) the price negotiated with Rattler for its 43 % interest in OMOG and (ii) a discounted cash flow approach.
+Added: The discounted cash flow approach utilized a discount rate of approximately 11 %, based on the estimate of the risk that a theoretical market participant would assign to the business.
+Added: The remeasurement of the Permian JV’s investment in OMOG to fair value resulted in a gain of $ 29 million.

+Added: Such approach utilized discount rates varying from approximately 21 % to 23 %, based on our estimate of the risk that a theoretical market participant would assign to the respective intangible assets.
+Added: The projection of future crude oil volumes transported and the estimated tariff rates for transportation were also key assumptions in the valuation of the intangible assets.
+Added: Projected future volumes and estimated tariff rates were based on current contracts in place with assumptions for forecasted rate increases and contract renewals.
