(1)As discussed in Note 3, in July 2022, we acquired the remaining 50% equity interest in Crestwood Permian, whose operations included its 50% equity interest in Crestwood Permian Basin LLC (Crestwood Permian Basin). As of September 30, 2023, our equity in the underlying net assets of Crestwood Permian Basin was less than the carrying value of our investment balance by approximately $2.2 million. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, we recorded amortization of less than $0.1 million and approximately $0.1 million, respectively, related to this basis difference, which is reflected as a decrease in our earnings from unconsolidated affiliates in our consolidated statements of operations, and during both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, we recorded amortization of less than $0.1 million related to this basis difference. Our Crestwood Permian Basin investment is included in our gathering and processing south segment.

(2)In April 2023, we sold our equity interest in Tres Holdings and we recorded a gain on the sale of approximately $132 million, which eliminated our $19.9 million historical basis difference between our investment balance and our equity in the underlying net assets of Tres Holdings. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we recorded amortization of approximately $0.3 million related to this excess basis, which is reflected as an increase in our earnings from unconsolidated affiliates in our consolidated statements of operations, and during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, we recorded amortization of approximately $0.3 million and $0.9 million related to this excess basis. Our Tres Holdings investment was included in our storage and logistics segment. See Tres Holdings Divestiture above for a further discussion of the sale of our Tres Holdings equity investment.

(3)As of September 30, 2023, our equity in the underlying net assets of Powder River Basin Industrial Complex, LLC (PRBIC) approximates the carrying value of our investment balance. Our PRBIC investment is included in our storage and logistics segment.

(4)In July 2022, we acquired the remaining 50% equity interest in Crestwood Permian and as a result, we control and own 100% of the equity interests in Crestwood Permian. Our Crestwood Permian equity investment was previously included in our gathering and processing south segment. See Note 3 for a further discussion of this acquisition.
