Targa Resources Partners LP’s (together with its subsidiaries, “we,” “us,” “our,” “TRP” or “the Partnership”) reports, filings and other public announcements may from time to time contain statements that do not directly or exclusively relate to historical facts. Such statements are “forward-looking statements.” You can typically identify forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, by the use of forward-looking statements, such as “may,” “could,” “project,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “expect,” “estimate,” “potential,” “plan,” “forecast” and other similar words.

All statements that are not statements of historical facts, including statements regarding our future financial position, business strategy, budgets, projected costs and plans and objectives of management for future operations, are forward-looking statements.

These forward-looking statements reflect our intentions, plans, expectations, assumptions and beliefs about future events and are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors, many of which are outside our control. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the expectations expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements include known and unknown risks. Known risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the following risks and uncertainties:

Although we believe that the assumptions underlying our forward-looking statements are reasonable, any of the assumptions could be inaccurate, and, therefore, we cannot assure you that the forward-looking statements included in ~~this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2017 (“Quarterly Report”)~~ will prove to be accurate. Some of these and other risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from such forward-looking statements are more fully described in our Annual Report. Except as may be required by applicable law, we undertake no obligation to publicly update or advise of any change in any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Targa Resources Partners LP is a Delaware limited partnership formed in October 2006 by our parent, Targa Resources Corp. (“Targa” or “TRC” or the “Company” or “Parent”). In this Quarterly Report, unless the context requires otherwise, references to “we,” “us,” “our,” “TRP,” or the “Partnership” are intended to mean the business and operations of Targa Resources Partners LP and its consolidated subsidiaries.

On February 17, 2016, TRC completed the previously announced transactions contemplated pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “TRC/TRP Merger Agreement,” and such transactions, the “TRC/TRP Merger”),

Our common units are wholly owned by ~~and among us, Targa Resources GP LLC (our “general partner” or “TRP GP”),~~ TRC and ~~Spartan Merger Sub LLC,~~no longer publicly traded as a ~~subsidiary~~result of ~~TRC (“Merger Sub”), pursuant to which TRC acquired indirectly all~~TRC’s acquisition of our outstanding common units that ~~TRC~~it and its subsidiaries did not already ~~own. Upon the terms and conditions set forth~~own in the TRC/TRP Merger Agreement, Merger Sub merged with and into TRP with TRP continuing as the surviving entity and as a subsidiary of TRC. As a result of the TRC/TRP Merger, TRC owns all of our outstanding common units.2016.

At the effective time of the TRC/TRP Merger, each outstanding TRP common unit not owned by TRC or its subsidiaries was converted into the right to receive 0.62 shares of common stock of TRC, par value $0.001 per share (“TRC shares”). No fractional TRC shares were issued in the TRC/TRP Merger, and TRP common unitholders, instead received cash in lieu of fractional TRC shares.

Pursuant to the TRC/TRP Merger Agreement, TRC has agreed to cause our common units to be delisted from the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) and deregistered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). As a result of the completion of the TRC/TRP Merger, our common units are no longer publicly traded. The 5,000,000 9.00% Series A Fixed-to-Floating Rate Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Units (the “Preferred Units”) that were issued in October 2015 remain outstanding as limited partner interests in us and continue to trade on the NYSE under the symbol “NGLS PRA.”

On October 19, 2016, we executed the Third Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership of Targa Resources Partners LP (the “Third A&R Partnership Agreement”), which became effective as of December 1, 2016. The Third A&R Partnership Agreement amendments include among other things (i) eliminating the incentive distribution rights (“IDRs”) held by the general partner, and related distribution and allocation provisions, (ii) eliminating the Special General Partner Interest (the “Special GP Interest” as defined in the Third A&R Partnership Agreement) held by the general partner, (iii) providing the ability to declare monthly distributions in addition to quarterly distributions, (iv) modifying certain provisions relating to distributions from available cash, (v) eliminating the Class B Unit (as defined in the Third A&R Partnership Agreement) provisions and (vi) changes to the Third A&R Partnership Agreement to reflect the passage of time and to remove provisions that are no longer applicable.

~~Revenue from Contracts with Customers~~Recently adopted accounting pronouncements

In ~~May 2014,~~February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ~~("FASB"~~(“FASB”) issued Accounting ~~Standard~~Standards Update (“ASU”) ~~No. 2014-09,~~ 2016-02, ~~Revenue from Contracts with Customers~~Leases (Topic ~~606), which supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in Topic 605,~~ ~~Revenue Recognition, and most industry-specific guidance. The update also creates a new Subtopic 340-40,~~ ~~Other Assets and Deferred Costs – Contracts with Customers~~, which provides guidance for the incremental costs of obtaining a contract with a customer and those costs incurred in fulfilling a contract with a customer that are not in the scope of another topic. The new revenue standard requires that entities should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entities expect to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. To achieve that core principle, the standard requires a five step process of (1) identifying the contracts with customers, (2) identifying the performance obligations in the contracts, (3) determining the transaction price, (4) allocating the transaction price to the performance obligations, and (5) recognizing revenue when, or as, the performance obligations are satisfied. The amendment also requires enhanced disclosures regarding the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers.

~~With the~~ ~~issuance~~ ~~in August 2015 of ASU 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date,~~ the revenue recognition standard is effective for the annual period beginning after December 15, 2017, and for annual and interim periods thereafter. Earlier adoption is permitted for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. We must retrospectively apply the new revenue recognition standard to transactions in all prior periods presented, but will have a choice between either (1) restating each prior period presented or (2) presenting a cumulative effect adjustment in the period the standard is adopted.

~~In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-08,~~ ~~Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Principal versus Agent Considerations~~842). The amendments in this update ~~improve~~supersede the ~~operability and understandability of~~leases guidance in Topic 840. We adopted Topic 842 on January 1, 2019 by applying the ~~implementation guidance on principal versus agent considerations, including clarifying that~~optional transition method in ASU-2018-11, which permits an entity ~~should determine whether it is~~to initially apply the new leases standard at the adoption date and recognize a ~~principal or an agent for each specified good or service promised~~cumulative-effect adjustment to ~~a customer. These amendments are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning on or after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted.~~

In ~~April~~ ~~2016,~~ the ~~FASB issued ASU 2016-10,~~ ~~Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing. These amendments clarify the guidance on identification~~opening balance of ~~performance obligations and licensing. The amendments include that entities do not have to decide if goods and services are performance obligations if they are considered immaterial~~retained earnings in the ~~context~~period of a contract. Entities are also permitted to account for the shipping and handling that takes place after the customer has gained control of the goods as actions to fulfill the contract rather than separate services. In order to identify a performance obligation in a customer contract, an entity has to determine whether the goods or services are distinct, and ASU No. 2016-10 clarifies how the determination can be made.

~~In May 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-12,~~ ~~Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients~~. These amendments address certain implementation issues related to assessing collectability, presentation of sales taxes, noncash consideration, and completed contracts and contract modifications at transition, and also provide additional practical expedients.

~~In December~~ ~~2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-20,~~ ~~Technical Corrections and Improvements to Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers~~.adoption. The amendments in this update clarify the disclosure requirements for performance obligations, provide optional exemptions from the disclosure requirement for remaining performance obligations for specific situations in which an entity need not estimate variable consideration to recognize revenue and provide clarified guidance regarding impairment testing of capitalized contract costs.

We have disaggregated contracts within our two segments and are in the process of completing our review of contracts and transaction types with counterparties in order to evaluate how the new standard would impact our current revenue recognition and disclosure policies upon adoption.

Based on our progress to date, we have preliminarily concluded that the contracts within our Gathering and Processing segment where we purchase and obtain control of the entire natural gas stream are contracts with suppliers rather than customers and therefore, not included in the scope of Topic 606. However, these supplier contracts are subject to updated guidance in ASC 705, ~~Cost of Sales and Services, whereby any embedded fees within such contracts, which historically have been reported as “Fees from midstream services,” will be reported instead as a reduction of “Product purchases” upon~~ adoption of Topic ~~606. In addition, we have concluded that~~842 did not result in most cases, we are acting as the principal in the sale of hydrocarbons to end customers. We are continuing to assess certain Gathering and Processing contracts whereby we obtain control over some, but not all, of the natural gas and natural gas liquids stream, including arrangements where the producer takes or may elect to take a portion of the merchantable gas and/or natural gas liquids in kind. ~~Specifically, when such arrangements contain both a service revenue element and a supply element, we are in the process of determining how each element should be measured.~~

At this time, we are not anticipating a significant change in revenue recognition for the contracts within our Logistics and Marketing segment, although the potential effects of contributions in aid of construction (which may also affect certain Gathering and Processing contracts where we are acting as an agent for the producer), tiered pricing, and excess fuel are currently being evaluated. We are also anticipating additional disclosures for fixed consideration allocated to performance obligations that are unsatisfied (or partially unsatisfied) as of the end of the current reporting period, separate presentation of revenue from contracts with customers and non-customer revenue (i.e. the effects of derivative activity and lease revenue) as well as unbilled receivables and deferred revenue.

~~The new revenue recognition standard is effective for us on January 1, 2018, and currently we plan to adopt using the modified retrospective method and will recognize~~ a cumulative effect adjustment ~~if any, in~~to retained earnings on January 1, 2019. As part of the ~~first quarter~~adoption of ~~2018. However,~~Topic 842, we ~~will continue to evaluate our planned adoption method based on our views regarding stakeholder needs~~recognized a net right-of-use asset of $64.2 million (net of $0.4 million of lease incentives/deferred rent) and ~~a final determination on remaining accounting matters still under evaluation. We have also established a cross-functional team to assist with the implementation through documentation~~lease liability of process changes, identification of implementation risks, update and development of mitigating controls, determination of data requirements, and identification of changes in system mapping and configuration.$64.6 million. Other practical expedients we elected include:

We recognize the following for all leases (with the exception of short-term leases) at the commencement date: ~~(1) a~~

We determine if an arrangement is or contains a lease at inception. Leases with an initial term of twelve months or less are considered short-term leases, which are excluded from the balance sheet. Right-of-use assets and ~~lessors must~~lease liabilities are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of future lease payments over the lease term. The right-of-use asset also includes any lease prepayments and excludes lease incentives. As most of the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit interest rate, we use our incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate to compute the present value of our lease liability. The discount rate applied is determined based on information available on the date of adoption for all leases existing as of that date, and on the date of lease commencement for all subsequent leases.

Our lease arrangements may include variable lease payments based on an index or market rate or may be based on performance. For variable lease payments based on an index or market rate, we estimate and apply a ~~modified retrospective transition approach for leases existing~~rate based on information available at ~~or entered into after,~~ the ~~beginning~~commencement date. Variable lease payments based on performance are excluded from the calculation of the ~~earliest comparative period presented~~right-of-use asset and lease liability, and are recognized in our Consolidated Statements of Operations when the contingency underlying such variable lease payments is resolved. Our lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease. Such options are included in the ~~financial statements.~~ ~~We expect~~measurement of our right-of-use asset and liability, provided we determine that we are reasonably certain to ~~adopt~~exercise the ~~amendments~~option.

Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in ~~the first quarter of 2019 and are currently evaluating the impacts of the amendments to our consolidated financial statements and accounting practices for leases.~~

~~Measurement~~ ~~of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments~~a Cloud Computing Arrangement That is a Service Contract

In ~~June 2016,~~August 2018, the FASB issued ASU ~~2016-13,~~ 2018-15, ~~Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326)~~Intangibles – Goodwill and Other – Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): ~~Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments.~~ ~~These amendments change the measurement of credit losses~~Customer’s Accounting for ~~most financial assets and certain other instruments that are not measured at fair value through net income.~~Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That is a Service Contract. The amendments in this update ~~affect investments~~require customers in ~~loans, investments in debt securities, trade receivables, net investments in leases, off-balance sheet credit exposures, reinsurance receivables, and any other financial assets not excluded from~~a cloud computing arrangement that is a service contract to assess related implementation costs for capitalization using the ~~scope that have the contractual right to receive cash. The amendments replace the incurred loss impairment methodology in current GAAP~~same approach as implementation costs associated with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates. We expect to adopt this guidance on January 1, 2019, and are continuing to evaluate the impact on our measurement of credit losses.

~~In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15,~~ ~~Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments (a consensus of the Emerging Issues Task Force)~~. These amendments clarify how entities should classify certain cash receipts and cash payments in the statement of cash flows related to the following transactions: (1) debt prepayment or extinguishment costs; (2) settlement of zero-coupon debt instruments or other debt instruments with coupon rates that are insignificant in relation to the effective interest rate of the borrowing; (3) contingent consideration payments made after a business combination; (4) proceeds from the settlement of insurance claims; (5) proceeds from the settlement of corporate-owned life insurance; (6) distributions received from equity method investees; and (7) beneficial interests in securitization transactions. Additionally, the update clarifies how the predominance principle should be applied when cash receipts and cash payments have aspects of more than one class of cash flows.internal-use software. These amendments are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, ~~2017,~~2019, with

early adoption permitted. ~~We plan to adopt~~Entities may apply the ~~applicable~~ amendments using a retrospective or prospective transition method. The amendments will be effective for Targa in the first quarter of ~~2018~~2020. We currently plan to apply the prospective transition method and do not expect a ~~minimal effect~~material impact on our ~~consolidated financial statements.~~

In ~~October~~ ~~2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-16,~~ ~~Income Taxes (Topic 740): Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other than Inventory~~. The amendments in this update are intended to improve the accounting for the income tax consequences of intra-entity transfers of assets other than inventory. Current GAAP prohibits the recognition of current and deferred income taxes for an intra-entity asset transfer until the asset has been sold to an outside party or otherwise recovered, which is an exception to the principle of comprehensive recognition of current and deferred income taxes in GAAP. This update eliminates the exception by requiring entities to recognize the income tax consequences of an intra-entity transfer of an asset other than inventory when the transfer occurs. We early adopted the applicable amendments in first quarter of 2017 on a modified retrospective basis. The adoption resulted in no effect as TRP is not subject to income taxes.

In ~~January~~ ~~2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-01,~~ ~~Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business~~. The amendments clarify the definition of a business to assist entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses by providing an initial required screen to determine when an integrated set of assets and activities is not a business. The screen requires that when substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired (or disposed of) is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or a group of similar identifiable assets, the set is not a business. This screen reduces the number of transactions that need to be further evaluated. If the screen is not met, then the amendments (1) require that to be considered a business, a set must include, at a minimum, an input and a substantive process that together significantly contribute to the ability to create output and (2) remove the evaluation of whether a market participant could replace missing elements. The amendments also provide a framework to assist entities in evaluating whether both an input and a substantive process are present. These amendments are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those periods, with early application permitted for transactions that have not been previously reported. We will apply this guidance to all transactions completed subsequent to our adoption of these amendments.

~~In January 2017, FASB issued ASU 2017-04,~~ ~~Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment~~, which eliminates Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. Step 2 required entities to compute the implied fair value of goodwill if it was determined that the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeded its fair value. Under the amendments in this update, an entity should perform its annual, or interim, goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount and should recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value. The goodwill impairment recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. Additionally, an entity should consider income tax effects from any tax deductible goodwill on the carrying amount of the reporting unit when measuring the goodwill impairment loss, if applicable. An entity still has the option to perform the qualitative assessment for a reporting unit to determine if the quantitative impairment test is necessary. These amendments are effective for annual or any interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. We expect to apply these amendments for our annual goodwill impairment test as of November 30, 2017. Had we applied this new guidance for our November 2016 impairment test date, the full balance of our goodwill would have been impaired. We expect to apply these amendments for our annual goodwill impairment test as of November 30, which may result in impairment of goodwill for 2017.

~~In February 2017, FASB issued ASU 2017-05,~~ ~~Other Income—Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets (Subtopic 610-20)~~, which clarifies the scope of Subtopic 610-20 and adds guidance for partial sales of nonfinancial assets. Specifically, the amendments clarify that the guidance applies to all nonfinancial assets and in substance nonfinancial assets unless other specific guidance applies and defines "in substance financial asset" as an asset or group of assets for which substantially all of the fair value consists of nonfinancial assets and the group or subsidiary is not a business. These amendments also impact the accounting for partial sales of nonfinancial assets, whereby an entity that transfers its controlling interest in a nonfinancial asset, but retains a noncontrolling ownership interest, will measure the retained interest at fair value resulting in the full gain/loss recognition upon sale. These amendments are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the effect of such amendments on our consolidated financial statements.

In ~~May~~ ~~2017, FASB issued ASU 2017-09,~~ ~~Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting~~, which clarifies when changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award must be accounted for as modifications. Under the new guidance, an entity will apply modification accounting only if the fair value, vesting conditions or the classification of the award changes as a result of the change in terms or conditions of a share-based payment award. In addition, the new guidance clarifies that regardless of whether an entity is required to apply modification accounting, the existing disclosure requirements and other aspects of GAAP associated with modifications continue to apply. These amendments are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted. We early adopted the applicable amendments in the second quarter of 2017 and will apply the new guidance prospectively to any awards modified on or after the adoption date.

~~In July 2017, FASB issued ASU 2017-11,~~ Earnings Per Share (Topic 260); Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (Topic 480); Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): (Part I) Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Down Round Features, (Part II) Replacement of the Indefinite Deferral for Mandatorily Redeemable Financial Instruments of Certain Nonpublic Entities and Certain Mandatorily Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests with a Scope Exception. The amendments in this update are intended to simplify the accounting for certain equity-linked financial instruments and embedded features with down round features that result in the strike price being reduced on the basis of the pricing of future equity offerings. Under the new guidance, a down round feature will no longer need to be considered when determining whether certain financial instruments or embedded features should be classified as liabilities or equity instruments. That is, a down round feature will no longer preclude equity classification when assessing whether an instrument or embedded feature is indexed to an entity's own stock. In addition, the amendments clarify existing disclosure requirements for equity-classified instruments. These amendments are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. We early adopted the applicable amendments in the second quarter of 2017 on a retrospective basis noting no effect on our consolidated financial statements.

~~In August 2017, FASB issued ASU 2017-12,~~ ~~Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedge Activities~~, which are intended to better align risk management activities and financial reporting for hedging relationships. The new guidance covers multiple aspects of hedge accounting: (1) changes the way in which ineffectiveness is accounted, (2) allows for new hedge strategies, and (3) changes hedge disclosures. Under the new guidance, companies will have the option to perform a qualitative quarterly effectiveness assessment once the initial quantitative test has been performed. In addition, any ineffectiveness that exists is required to be recorded in other comprehensive income instead of in earnings as is required under current guidance. Several new hedging strategies will be allowed to be given hedge accounting treatment, most of which involve the hedging of contractually specified components. Lastly, disclosure requirements will be updated to (1) require that hedge income be presented on the same line item as the related hedged item, (2) require hedge program objectives to be disclosed, and (3) eliminate the requirement to separately disclose ineffectiveness. These amendments are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. We plan to adopt the applicable amendments in the first quarter of 2018 and expect an immaterial effect on our consolidated financial statements.

On March 1, 2017, Targa completed the purchase of 100% of the membership interests of Outrigger Delaware Operating, LLC, Outrigger Southern Delaware Operating, LLC (together “New Delaware”) and Outrigger Midland Operating, LLC (“New Midland” and together with New Delaware, the “Permian Acquisition”).

We paid $484.1 million in cash at closing on March 1, 2017, and paid an additional $90.0 million in cash on May 30, 2017 (collectively, the “initial purchase price”). Subject to certain performance-linked measures and other conditions, additional cash of up to $935.0 million may be payable to the sellers of New Delaware and New Midland in potential earn-out payments that would occur in 2018 and 2019. The potential earn-out payments will be based upon a multiple of realized gross margin from contracts that existed on March 1, 2017.

New Delaware’s gas gathering and processing and crude gathering assets are located in Loving, Winkler, Pecos and Ward counties in Texas. The operations are backed by producer dedications of more than 145,000 acres under long-term, largely fee-based contracts,

with an average weighted contract life of 14 years. The New Delaware assets include 70 MMcf/d of processing capacity, and we are in the process of installing a 60 MMcf/d plant, known as the Oahu Plant, in the Delaware Basin with expectations of commencing operations in the fourth quarter of 2017. Currently, there is 40 MBbl/d of crude gathering capacity on the New Delaware system. Since March 1, 2017, financial and statistical data of New Delaware have been included in Sand Hills operations.

New Midland’s gas gathering and processing and crude gathering assets are located in Howard, Martin and Borden counties in Texas. The operations are backed by producer dedications of more than 105,000 acres under long-term, largely fee-based contracts, with an average weighted contract life of 13 years. The New Midland assets include 10 MMcf/d of processing capacity. Currently, there is 40 MBbl/d of crude gathering capacity on the New Midland system. Since March 1, 2017, financial and statistical data of New Midland have been included in SAOU operations.

New Delaware’s gas gathering and processing assets were connected to our Sand Hills system in the first quarter of 2017, and the New Midland’s gas gathering and processing assets were connected to our existing WestTX system in October 2017. We believe connecting the acquired assets to our legacy Permian footprint creates operational and capital synergies, and will afford enhanced flexibility in serving our producer customers.

On January 26, 2017, Targa completed a public offering of 9,200,000 shares of its common stock (including the shares sold pursuant to the underwriters’ overallotment option) at a price to the public of $57.65, providing net proceeds of $524.2 million. Targa used the net proceeds from this public offering to fund the cash portion of the Permian Acquisition purchase price due upon closing and for general corporate purposes.

The acquired businesses contributed revenues of $75.2 million and a net loss of $21.5 million to us for the period from March 1, 2017 to September 30, 2017, and are reported in our Gathering and Processing segment. As of September 30, 2017, we had incurred $5.6 million of acquisition-related costs. These expenses are included in Other expense in our Consolidated Statements of Operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2017.

~~Pro Forma Impact of Permian Acquisition on Consolidated Statement of Operations~~

The following summarized unaudited pro forma Consolidated Statement of Operations information for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and September 30, 2016 assumes that the Permian Acquisition occurred as of January 1, 2016. We prepared the following summarized unaudited pro forma financial results for comparative purposes only. The summarized unaudited pro forma information may not be indicative of the results that would have occurred had we completed this acquisition as of January 1, 2016, or that would be attained in the future.

The pro forma consolidated results of operations amounts have been calculated after applying our accounting policies, and making the following adjustments to the unaudited results of the acquired businesses for the periods indicated:

~~The following table summarizes the consideration transferred to acquire New Delaware and New Midland:~~

We accounted for the Permian Acquisition as an acquisition of a business under purchase accounting rules. The assets acquired and liabilities assumed related to the Permian Acquisition were recorded at their fair values as of the closing date of March 1, 2017. The fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date is shown below:

Under the acquisition method of accounting, the assets acquired and liabilities assumed are recognized at their estimated fair values, with any excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired recorded as goodwill. ~~Such excess of purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired was approximately $46.6 million, which was recorded as goodwill. The goodwill is attributable to expected~~ ~~operational and capital synergies.~~ ~~The goodwill is amortizable for tax purposes.~~

~~The fair value of assets acquired included trade receivables of $6.7 million, substantially all of which has been subsequently collected.~~

The valuation of the acquired assets and liabilities was prepared using fair value methods and assumptions including projections of future production volumes and cash flows, benchmark analysis of comparable public companies, expectations regarding customer contracts and relationships, and other management estimates. The fair value measurements of assets acquired and liabilities assumed are based on inputs that are not observable in the market and therefore represent Level 3 inputs, as defined in Note 17 – Fair Value Measurements. These inputs require significant judgments and estimates at the time of valuation.

During the three months ended June 30, 2017, we recorded measurement period adjustments to our preliminary acquisition date fair values due to the refinement of our valuation models, assumptions and inputs, including forecasts of future volumes, capital expenditures and operating expenses. The measurement period adjustments were based upon information obtained about facts and circumstances that existed at the acquisition date that, if known, would have affected the measurement of the amounts recognized at that date. We recognized these measurement period adjustments in the three months ended June 30, 2017, with the effect in the Consolidated Statements of Operations resulting from the change to the provisional amounts calculated as if the acquisition had been completed at March 1, 2017. During the three months ended June 30, 2017, the acquisition date fair value of contingent consideration liability decreased by $45.3 million, intangible assets increased by $66.7 million, and other assets, net, increased by $0.4 million, which resulted in a decrease in goodwill of $112.4 million. These adjustments resulted in an increase in depreciation and amortization expense of $0.4 million recorded for the three months ended June 30, 2017.

~~During the three months ended September 30, 2017, we finalized the purchase price allocation with no additional measurement period adjustments.~~

A contingent consideration liability arising from potential earn-out payments in connection with the Permian Acquisition has been recognized at its fair value. We agreed to pay up to an additional $935.0 million in potential earn-out payments that would occur in 2018 and 2019. The acquisition date fair value of the potential earn-out payments of $416.3 million was recorded within Other long-term liabilities on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. Changes in the fair value of this liability (that were not accounted for as revisions of the acquisition date fair value) are included in earnings. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, we recognized $126.6 million and $125.5 million as Other income related to the change in fair value of the contingent consideration. See

~~Note 11 – Other Long-term Liabilities and Note 14 – Fair Value Measurements for additional discussion of the change in fair value and the fair value methodology.~~

As of September 30, 2017, the fair value of the first potential earn-out payment of $5.9 million has been recorded as a component of Accounts payable and accrued liabilities, which are included within current liabilities on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of September 30, 2017, the fair value of the second potential earn-out payment of $284.9 million has been recorded within Other long-term liabilities on our Consolidated Balance Sheets.

On May 9, 2017, we purchased all of the equity interests in Flag City Processing Partners, LLC ("FCCP") from Boardwalk Midstream, LLC (“Boardwalk”) and all of the equity interests in FCPP Pipeline, LLC from Boardwalk Field Services, LLC (“BFS”) for a base purchase price of $60.0 million subject to customary closing adjustments. The final adjustment to the base purchase price paid to Boardwalk was an additional $3.6 million. As part of the acquisition (the “Flag City Acquisition”), we acquired a natural gas processing plant with 150 MMcf/d of operating capacity (the “Flag City Plant”) located in Jackson County, Texas; 24 miles of gas gathering pipeline systems and related rights-of-ways located in Bee and Karnes counties in Texas; 102.1 acres of land surrounding the Flag City Plant; and a limited number of gas supply contracts.

The gas processing activities under the Flag City Plant contracts have been transferred to our Silver Oak Plants. We have shut down the Flag City Plant and are moving the plant and its component parts to other Targa locations.

We accounted for this purchase as an asset acquisition and have capitalized less than $0.1 million of acquisition related costs as a component of the cost of assets acquired, which resulted in an allocation of $52.3 million of property, plant and equipment, $7.7 million of intangible assets for customer contracts and $3.6 million of current assets and liabilities, net.

Effective as of June 1, 2017, we repurchased from SN Catarina, LLC (a subsidiary of Sanchez Energy Corp.) their 10% interest in our consolidated Silver Oak II Gas processing facility and other related assets located in Bee County, Texas for a purchase price of $12.5 million. The change in our ownership interest was accounted for as an equity transaction representing the acquisition of a noncontrolling interest and no gain or loss was recognized in our Consolidated Statements of Operations as a result.

Through our 76.8% ownership interest in Venice Energy Services Company, L.L.C. (“VESCO”), we have operated the Venice Gas Plant and the Venice gathering system. On April 4, 2017, VESCO entered into a purchase and sale agreement with Rosefield Pipeline Company, LLC, an affiliate of Arena Energy, LP, to sell its 100% ownership interests in Venice Gathering System, L.L.C. (“VGS”), a Delaware limited liability company engaged in the business of transporting natural gas in interstate commerce, under authorization granted by and subject to the jurisdiction of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (“FERC”), for approximately $0.4 million in cash. ~~Additionally, the VGS asset retirement obligations (“ARO”) were assumed by the buyer.~~ VGS owns and operates a natural gas gathering system in the Gulf of Mexico. Historically, VGS has been reported in our Gathering and Processing segment. After the sale of VGS, we continue to operate the Venice Gas Plant through our ownership in VESCO. Targa Midstream Services LLC continued to operate the Venice gathering system for four months after closing pursuant to a Transition Services Agreement with VGS.

As a result of the April 4, 2017 sale, we recognized a loss of $16.1 million in our Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three months ended March 31, 2017 as part of Other operating (income) expense to impair our basis in the VGS net assets to its fair value.

In ~~May 2017,~~February 2019, we announced ~~plans~~an extension of Grand Prix from Southern Oklahoma to ~~construct a new common carrier~~the STACK region of Central Oklahoma where it will connect with the Williams Companies, Inc. (“Williams”) Bluestem Pipeline and link the Conway, Kansas, and Mont Belvieu, Texas, NGL ~~pipeline. The NGL pipeline (“Grand Prix”)~~markets. In connection with this project, Williams has committed significant volumes to us that we will transport ~~volumes from the Permian Basin~~on Grand Prix and fractionate at our ~~North Texas system to our fractionation and storage complex in the NGL market hub at~~ Mont Belvieu ~~Texas. Grand Prix will be supported by~~facilities. Williams also had an initial option to purchase a 20% equity interest in one of our ~~volumes~~recently announced 110 MBbl/d fractionation trains (Train 7 or Train 8) in Mont Belvieu. Williams exercised its option to acquire a 20% equity interest in Train 7 and ~~other third party customer commitments, and is expected to be in service~~subsequently executed a joint venture agreement with us in the second quarter of 2019. ~~The capacity of the pipeline from the Permian Basin~~Certain fractionation-related infrastructure for Train 7, including storage caverns and brine handling, will be ~~approximately 300 MBbl/d, expandable to 550 MBbl/d.~~funded and owned 100% by Targa.

~~In September 2017,~~On April 3, 2019, we ~~sold~~closed on the sale of a 45% interest in Targa Badlands LLC, the entity that holds substantially all of our assets in North Dakota, to funds managed by GSO Capital Partners and Blackstone ~~Energy Partners ("Blackstone"~~Tactical Opportunities (collectively, “Blackstone”) ~~a 25% interest in our consolidated subsidiary, Grand Prix Pipeline LLC (the “Grand Prix Joint Venture”).~~ for $1.6 billion in cash. We ~~are~~used the net cash proceeds to repay debt and for general corporate purposes, including funding our growth capital program. We continue to be the operator of Targa Badlands LLC and ~~construction manager of Grand Prix. Our share of~~ ~~total~~hold majority governance rights. Future growth capital ~~expenditures for Grand Prix~~of Targa Badlands LLC is expected to be ~~approximately $975 million,~~funded on a pro rata ownership basis. Targa Badlands LLC will pay a minimum quarterly distribution (“MQD”) to Blackstone and Targa, with ~~approximately $275 million of spending in 2017.~~

~~Concurrent with the~~Blackstone having a priority right on such MQDs. Additionally, Blackstone’s capital contributions would have a liquidation preference upon a sale of ~~the minority interest~~Targa Badlands LLC. We will continue to present Targa Badlands LLC on a consolidated basis in the Grand Prix Joint Venture to Blackstone, we and EagleClaw Midstream Ventures, LLC (“EagleClaw”), a Blackstone portfolio company, executed a long-term Raw Product Purchase Agreement for transportation and fractionation whereby EagleClaw has dedicated and committed significant NGLs associated with EagleClaw’s natural gas volumes produced or processed in the Delaware Basin.

~~Impairment~~During the preparation of ~~North Texas Gathering~~the Company's consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Company identified an error related to depreciation expense on certain assets that should have been placed in-service during 2018. The Company does not believe this error is material to its previously issued historical consolidated financial statements for any of the periods impacted and ~~Processing Assets~~accordingly, has not adjusted the historical financial statements. The Company has recorded the cumulative impact of the adjustment in the three months ended March 31, 2019. This adjustment resulted in a one-time $12.5 million overstatement of depreciation expense during the three months ended March 31, 2019.

~~We recorded a non-cash pre-tax impairment charge of $378.0~~During the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, depreciation expense was $194.4 million ~~in the third quarter of 2017 for the partial impairment of gas processing facilities~~ and gathering systems associated with our North Texas operations in our Gathering and Processing segment. The impairment is a result of our current assessment that forecasted undiscounted future net cash flows from operations, while positive, will not be sufficient to recover the existing total net book value of the underlying assets. Given the current price environment, Targa is projecting a continuing decline in natural gas production across the Barnett Shale in North Texas due in part to producers pursuing more attractive opportunities in other basins. We measured the impairment of property, plant and equipment using discounted estimated future cash flow analysis (“DCF”) including a terminal value (a Level 3 fair value measurement). The future cash flows are based on our estimates of future revenues, income from operations and other factors, such as timing of capital expenditures. We take into account current and expected industry and market conditions, including commodity prices and volumetric forecasts. The discount rate used in our DCF analysis is based on a weighted average cost of capital determined from relevant market comparisons. These carrying value adjustments are included in Impairment of property, plant and equipment expense in our Consolidated Statements of Operations.$152.4 million.

Intangible assets consist of customer contracts and customer relationships acquired in the Permian and Flag City Acquisitions in 2017, the mergers with Atlas Energy L.P. and Atlas Pipeline Partners L.P. in 2015 (collectively, the “Atlas mergers”) and our Badlands acquisition in 2012.prior business combinations. The fair ~~values~~value of these acquired intangible assets were determined at the date of acquisition based on the present values of estimated future cash flows. Key valuation assumptions include probability of contracts under negotiation, renewals of existing contracts, economic incentives to retain customers, past and future volumes, current and future capacity of the gathering

~~system, pricing volatility and the discount rate.~~ Amortization expense attributable to these assets is recorded over the periods in which we benefit from services provided to customers.

~~The intangible assets acquired in the Permian Acquisition were recorded at a fair value of $692.3 million.~~ We are amortizing these ~~intangible~~ assets over ~~a 15-year life using the straight-line method.~~

~~The intangible assets acquired in the Flag City Acquisition were recorded at a fair value of $7.7 million. We are amortizing these intangible assets over a 10-year life using the straight-line method.~~

The intangible assets acquired in the Atlas mergers are being amortized over a 20-year life using the straight-line method, as a reliably determinable pattern of amortization could not be identified. Amortization expense attributablelives ranging from 10 to ~~our intangible assets related to the Badlands acquisition is recorded~~ 20 years using a method that closely reflects the cash flow pattern underlying their ~~intangible asset~~ valuation, ~~over~~or the straight-line method, if a ~~20-year life.~~reliably determinable pattern of amortization could not be identified.

The estimated annual amortization expense for intangible assets is approximately ~~$188.4 million, $182.6 million,~~ $171.6 million, $159.4 million, $149.5 million, $141.2 million and ~~$149.5~~$136.0 million for each of the years ~~2017~~2019 through ~~2021.~~2023.

As described in Note 3 – Significant Accounting Policies, we evaluate goodwill for impairment at least annually on November 30, or more frequently if we believe necessary based on events or changes in circumstances. During the first quarter of 2016, we finalized our 2015 impairment assessment and recorded additional impairment expense of $24.0 million in our Consolidated Statement of Operations. The impairment of goodwill was primarily due to the effects of lower commodity prices, and a higher cost of capital for companies in our industry compared to conditions in February 2015 when we acquired Atlas.

The terms of these joint venture agreements do not afford us the degree of control required for consolidating them in our consolidated financial statements, but do afford us the significant influence required to employ the equity method of accounting.

The T2 Joint Ventures were formed to provide services for the benefit of ~~its~~their joint interest ~~owners. The T2 LaSalle~~owners and ~~T2 Eagle Ford gathering companies~~ have capacity lease agreements with ~~its~~their joint interest owners, which cover costs of operations (excluding depreciation and amortization).

~~In July 2017,~~ On April 1, 2019, we ~~entered into~~assumed the ~~Cayenne~~ operatorship of the T2 Joint ~~Venture~~ with American Midstream LLC to convert an existing 62-mile gas pipeline to an NGL pipeline connecting the VESCO plant in Venice, Louisiana to the Enterprise Products Operating LLC (“Enterprise”) pipeline

~~at Toca, Louisiana, for delivery to Enterprise’s Norco Fractionator. We acquired a 50% interest in the Cayenne~~ ~~Joint Venture for $5.0 million. The project is expected to be completed by November 2017.~~Ventures.

As a result of a 2017 acquisition of certain gas gathering and processing and crude gathering assets in the Permian Basin (the “Permian Acquisition”), we have included the related contingent consideration in accounts payable and accrued liabilities as of March 31, 2019, and December 31, 2018. The ~~estimated current portion of the~~ Permian Acquisition contingent consideration represents the ~~fair value as of September 30, 2017 of the first potential~~second earn-out payment, ~~that would~~which will be ~~payable in May 2018. The estimated remaining portion would be payable~~paid in May 2019, and is ~~recorded within Other long-term liabilities~~derived on ~~our Consolidated Balance Sheets.~~a multiple of realized gross margin during the earn-out period from contracts that existed on March 1, 2017, in accordance with the terms of the purchase and sale agreements. The first potential earn-out payment would have occurred in May 2018 and expired with no required payment.

Changes in the value of the contingent consideration liability have been included in Other income (expense). For the period from December 31, 2018 to March 31, 2019, the value of the contingent consideration increased by $9.7 million, primarily attributable to the elimination of discounting and an increase in actual gross margin through the end of the earn-out period. During the three months ended March 31, 2018, we recognized $56.0 million of expense in Other income (expense) related to the change in fair value of the contingent consideration.

See Note 14 – Fair Value Measurements for additional discussion of the fair value methodology.

On February 23, 2017, we amended the accounts receivable securitization facility (“Securitization Facility”) to increase the facility size from $275.0 million to $350.0 million. As of September 30, 2017, there was $278.1 million outstanding under the Securitization Facility.

In ~~June 2017,~~January 2019, we ~~redeemed our outstanding 6⅜~~issued $750.0 million of 6½% Senior Notes due August 2022 (“6⅜% Senior Notes”), totaling $278.7 million in aggregate principal amount, at a price of 103.188% plus accrued interest through the redemption date.

Our ~~ARO~~asset retirement obligations (“ARO”) primarily relate to certain gas gathering pipelines, processing facilities and ~~processing facilities. The changes in our ARO are as follows:~~

Our consolidated financial statements include our interest in two joint ventures that, separately, own a 100% interest in the WestOK natural gas gathering and processing system and a 72.8% undivided interest in the WestTX natural gas gathering and processing system. Our partner in the joint ventures holds preferred interests in each joint venture that are redeemable: (i) at our or our partner’s election, on or after July 27, 2022; and (ii) mandatorily, in July 2037.

For reporting purposes under GAAP, an estimate of our partner’s interest in each joint venture is required to be recorded as if the redemption had occurred on the reporting date. Because redemption cannot occur before 2022, the actual value of our partner’s allocable share of each joint venture’s assets at the time of redemption may differ from our estimate of redemption value as of September 30, 2017.

~~The following table shows the changes attributable to mandatorily redeemable preferred interests:~~

We have certain long-term contractual arrangements ~~under~~for which we have received consideration ~~but which require future performance by Targa. These arrangements result in~~that we are not yet able to recognize as revenue. The resulting deferred revenue ~~which~~ will be recognized ~~over the periods that performance will be provided.~~once all conditions for revenue recognition have been met.

Deferred revenue includes ~~consideration~~$129.0 million of payments received from Vitol Americas Corp. (“Vitol”) (formerly known as Noble Americas Corp.), a subsidiary of Vitol US Holding Co., in 2016, 2017, and 2018 as part of an agreement (the “Splitter Agreement”) related to the construction and operation of a crude oil and condensate splitter. OnIn December 27, 2015, Targa Terminals LLC and Noble Americas Corp., a subsidiary of Noble Group Ltd., entered into a long-term, fee-based agreement (“Splitter Agreement”) under which we will build and operate a crude oil and condensate splitter at our Channelview Terminal on the Houston Ship Channel (“Channelview Splitter”) and provide approximately 730,000 barrels of storage capacity. The Channelview Splitter will have the capability2018, Vitol elected to split approximately 35,000 barrels per day of crude oil and condensate into its various components, including naphtha, kerosene, gas oil, jet fuel, and liquefied petroleum gas and will provide segregated storage for the crude, condensate and components. The Channelview Splitter project is expected to be completed by the first half of 2018, and has an estimated total cost of approximately $140.0 million. The first annual advance payment due underterminate the Splitter ~~Agreement was received in October 2016 and has been recorded as deferred revenue, as the Splitter Agreement~~ ~~requires future performance by Targa.~~Agreement. The Splitter Agreement provides that ~~subsequent~~the first three annual payments are ours if Vitol elects to terminate, which Vitol disputes. The timing of ~~$43.0 million (subject~~revenue recognition related to ~~an annual inflation factor) are to be paid to Targa through 2022. In October 2017, we received $43.0 million representing the second annual payment under~~ the Splitter Agreement ~~which will be recorded as deferred revenue.

Vitol. Deferred revenue also includes nonmonetary consideration received in a 2015 amendment ~~(the “gas contract amendment”)~~ to a gas gathering and processing agreement. We measured the estimated fair value of the gathering assets transferred to us using significant other observable inputs representative of a Level 2 fair value measurement. Because the gas contract amendment will require future performance by Targa, we have recorded the consideration received as deferred revenue. The deferred revenue related to this amendment is being recognized on a straight-line basis through the end of the agreement’s term in 2030.

~~Deferred revenue also includes~~agreement and consideration received for other construction activities of facilities connected to our systems. ~~The deferred revenue related to these other construction activities will be recognized over the periods that future performance will be provided, which extend through 2023.~~

~~Contingent Consideration~~We have non-cancellable operating leases primarily associated with our office facilities, rail assets, land, and storage and terminal assets. We have finance leases primarily associated with our tractors and vehicles. Our leases have remaining lease terms of 1 to 6 years, some of which include options to extend the lease term for up to 10 years.

Note 13 — ~~Derivative Instruments~~Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

The primary purpose of our commodity risk management activities is to manage our exposure to commodity price risk and reduce volatility in our operating cash flow due to fluctuations in commodity prices. We have ~~hedged~~entered into derivative instruments to hedge the commodity ~~prices~~price risks associated with a portion of our expected (i) natural gas, NGL, and condensate equity volumes in our Gathering and Processing operations that result from percent-of-proceeds processing arrangements, ~~and~~ (ii) future commodity purchases and sales in our Logistics and Marketing segment ~~by entering into derivative instruments. These~~and (iii) natural gas transportation basis risk in our Logistics and Marketing segment. The hedge positions associated with (i) and (ii) above will move favorably in periods of falling commodity prices and unfavorably in periods of rising commodity ~~prices. We have~~prices and are designated ~~these derivative contracts~~ as cash flow hedges for accounting purposes.

The hedges generally match the NGL product composition and the NGL delivery points of our physical equity volumes. Our natural gas hedges are a mixture of specific gas delivery points and Henry Hub. The NGL hedges may be transacted as specific NGL hedges or as baskets of ethane, propane, normal butane, isobutane and natural gasoline based upon our expected equity NGL composition. We believe this approach avoids uncorrelated risks resulting from employing hedges on crude oil or other petroleum products as “proxy” hedges of NGL prices. Our natural gas and NGL hedges are settled using published index prices for delivery at various locations.

We hedge a portion of our condensate equity volumes using crude oil hedges that are based on the NYMEX futures contracts for West Texas Intermediate light, sweet crude, which approximates the prices received for condensate. This exposes us to a market differential risk if the NYMEX futures do not move in exact parity with the sales price of our underlying condensate equity volumes.

As part of the Atlas mergers, outstanding TPL derivative contracts with a fair value of $102.1 million as of February 27, 2015 (the “acquisition date”), were novated to us and included in the acquisition date fair value of assets acquired. We received derivative settlements of $1.4 million and $6.3 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and $5.8 million and $20.9 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, related to these novated contracts. From the acquisition date through September 30, 2017, we have received derivative settlements of $100.9 million. ~~The remainder of the novated contracts will settle by the end of 2017.~~ ~~These settlements were reflected as a reduction of the acquisition date fair value of the TPL derivative assets acquired and had no effect on results of operations.~~

The "off-market" nature of these acquired derivatives can introduce a degree of ineffectiveness for accounting purposes due to an embedded financing element representing the amount that would be paid or received as of the acquisition date to settle the derivative contract. The resulting ineffectiveness can either potentially disqualify the derivative contract in its entirety for hedge accounting or alternatively affect the amount of unrealized gains or losses on qualifying derivatives that can be deferred from inclusion in periodic net income. Additionally, we recorded ineffectiveness losses of less than $0.1 million and $0.1 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and less than $0.1 million and $0.3 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, related to otherwise qualifying TPL derivatives, which are primarily natural gas swaps.

We also enter into derivative instruments to help manage other short-term commodity-related business risks. We have not designated these derivatives as hedges and record changes in fair value and cash settlements to revenues.

Our payment obligations in connection with a majority of these hedging transactions are secured by a first priority lien in the collateral securing the TRP Revolver that ranks equal in right of payment with liens granted in favor of our senior secured lenders. Some of our hedges are futures contracts executed through a broker that clears the hedges through an exchange. We maintain a margin deposit with the broker in an amount sufficient enough to cover the fair value of our open futures positions. The margin deposit is considered collateral, which is located within other current assets on our Consolidated Balance Sheets and is not offset against the fair ~~values~~value of our derivative instruments.

The fair value of our derivative instruments, depending on the type of instrument, was determined by the use of present value methods or standard option valuation models with assumptions about commodity prices based on those observed in underlying markets. The estimated fair value of our derivative instruments was a net ~~liability~~asset of ~~$63.4~~$46.3 million as of ~~September 30, 2017.~~March 31, 2019. The estimated fair value is net of an adjustment for credit risk based on the default probabilities as indicated by market quotes for the counterparties’ credit default swap rates. The credit risk adjustment was immaterial for all periods presented. Our futures contracts that are cleared through an exchange are margined daily and do not require any credit adjustment.

Our consolidated earnings are also affected by the use of the mark-to-market method of accounting for derivative instruments that do not qualify for hedge accounting or that have not been designated as hedges. The changes in fair value of these instruments are recorded on the balance sheet and through earnings rather than being deferred until the anticipated transaction settles. The use of mark-to-market accounting for financial instruments can cause non-cash earnings volatility due to changes in the underlying commodity price indices.

Based on valuations as of ~~September 30, 2017,~~March 31, 2019, we expect to reclassify commodity hedge-related deferred ~~losses~~gains of ~~$64.1~~$64.6 million included in accumulated other comprehensive income into earnings before income taxes through the end of ~~2019,~~2021, with ~~$63.0~~$47.3 million of ~~losses~~gains to be reclassified over the next twelve months.

See Note 14 – Fair Value Measurements and Note 19 – Segment Information for additional disclosures related to derivative instruments and hedging activities.

Under GAAP, our Consolidated Balance Sheets reflect a mixture of measurement methods for financial assets and liabilities (“financial instruments”). Derivative financial instruments and contingent consideration related to business acquisitions are reported at fair value on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. Other financial instruments are reported at historical cost or amortized cost on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. The following are additional qualitative and quantitative disclosures regarding fair value measurements of financial instruments.

Our derivative instruments consist of financially settled commodity swaps, futures, option contracts and fixed-price forward commodity contracts with certain counterparties. We determine the fair value of our derivative contracts using present value methods or standard option valuation models with assumptions about commodity prices based on those observed in underlying markets. We have consistently applied these valuation techniques in all periods presented and we believe we have obtained the most accurate information available for the types of derivative contracts we hold.

The fair values of our derivative instruments are sensitive to changes in forward pricing on natural gas, NGLs and crude oil. The financial position of these derivatives at ~~September 30, 2017,~~March 31, 2019, a net ~~liability~~asset position of ~~$63.4~~$46.3 million, reflects the present value, adjusted for counterparty credit risk, of the amount we expect to receive or pay in the future on our derivative contracts. If forward pricing on natural gas, NGLs and crude oil were to increase by 10%, the result would be a fair value reflecting a net liability of ~~$149.9~~$40.1 million, ignoring an adjustment for counterparty credit risk. If forward pricing on natural gas, NGLs and crude oil were to decrease by 10%, the result would be a fair value reflecting a net asset of ~~$22.2~~$129.2 million, ignoring an adjustment for counterparty credit risk.

Due to their cash or near-cash nature, the carrying value of other financial instruments included in working capital (i.e., cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable) approximates their fair value. Long-term debt is primarily the other financial instrument for which carrying value could vary significantly from fair value. We determined the supplemental fair value disclosures for our long-term debt as follows:

Contingent consideration liabilities related to business acquisitions are carried at fair ~~value.~~value until the end of the related earn-out period.

We categorize the inputs to the fair value measurements of financial assets and liabilities at each balance sheet reporting date using a three-tier fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the significant inputs used in measuring fair value:

The following table shows a breakdown by fair value hierarchy category for (1) financial instruments measurements included on our Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value and (2) supplemental fair value disclosures for other financial instruments:

Additional Information Regarding Level 3 Fair Value Measurements Included on Our Consolidated Balance Sheets

We reported certain of our swaps and option contracts at fair value using Level 3 inputs due to such derivatives not having observable market prices or implied volatilities ~~or market prices~~ for substantially the full term of the derivative asset or liability. For valuations that include both observable and unobservable inputs, if the unobservable input is determined to be significant to the overall inputs, the entire valuation is categorized in Level 3. This includes derivatives valued using indicative price quotations whose contract length extends into unobservable periods.

The fair value of these swaps is determined using a discounted cash flow valuation technique based on a forward commodity basis curve. For these derivatives, the primary input to the valuation model is the forward commodity basis curve, which is based on observable or public data sources and extrapolated when observable prices are not available.

As of ~~September 30, 2017,~~March 31, 2019, we had 3113 commodity swap and option contracts categorized as Level 3. The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurements of our Level 3 derivatives are (i) the forward natural gas liquids pricing curves, for which a significant portion of the derivative’s term is beyond available forward pricing and (ii) implied volatilities, which are unobservable as a result of inactive natural gas liquids options trading. The change in the fair value of Level 3 derivatives associated with a 10% change in the forward basis curve where prices are not observable is immaterial.

The fair value of the Permian Acquisition contingent consideration as of December 31, 2018, was determined using a Monte Carlo simulation model. Significant inputs used in the fair value measurement include expected gross margin (calculated in accordance with the terms of the purchase and sale agreements), term of the earn-out period, risk adjusted discount rate and volatility associated with the underlying assets. ~~A significant decrease~~The Permian Acquisition contingent consideration earn-out period ended on February 28, 2019. The first earn-out payment due in ~~expected~~May 2018 expired with no required payment. The second earn-out payment will be paid in May 2019 and is derived on a multiple of realized gross margin during the earn-out period ~~or significant increase~~from contracts that existed on March 1, 2017, in accordance with the ~~discount rate or volatility would result in a lower~~terms of the purchase and sale agreements. As such, the carrying value of the Permian Acquisition contingent consideration as of March 31, 2019, approximates fair value, ~~estimate.~~ as with our other accounts payables. See Note 8 – Accounts Payable and Accrued Liabilities for additional discussion of the Permian Acquisition contingent consideration.

The fair value of the TPL contingent consideration was determined using a probability-based model measuring the likelihood of meeting certain volumetric measures. The inputs for both models are not observable; therefore, the entire valuations of the contingent considerations are categorized in Level 3. Changes in the fair value of these liabilities are included in Other income (expense) in ~~the~~our Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The following table summarizes the changes in fair value of our financial instruments classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy:

We do not have any employees. Targa provides operational, general and administrative and other services to us associated with our existing assets and assets acquired from third parties. Targa performs centralized corporate functions for us, such as legal, accounting, treasury, insurance, risk management, health, safety and environmental, information technology, human resources, credit, payroll, internal audit, taxes, engineering and marketing.

Our Partnership Agreement governs the reimbursement of costs incurred by Targa on behalf of us. Targa charges us for all the direct costs of the employees assigned to our operations, as well as all general and administrative support costs other than (1) costs attributable to Targa’s status as a separate reporting company and (2) until March 2018, costs of Targa providing management and support services to certain unaffiliated spun-off entities. We generally reimburse Targa monthly for cost allocations to the extent that Targa has made a cash outlay.

We are a party to various legal, administrative and regulatory proceedings that have arisen in the ordinary course of our business. We are also a party to various proceedings with governmental environmental agencies in 2019, including but not limited to the Environmental Protection Agency, Texas Commission on Environmental Quality, Oklahoma Department of Environmental Quality, New Mexico Environment Department, Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality and North Dakota Department of Environmental Quality, which assert penalties for alleged violations of environmental regulations, including air emissions, discharges into the environment and reporting deficiencies, related to events that have arisen at certain of our facilities in the ordinary course of our business.

On February 26, 2019, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Region 8 and Targa Badlands LLC entered into a Final Order and Consent Agreement in connection with Targa Badlands LLC’s alleged violation of Subpart ZZZZ of the National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants at its Junction Compressor Station in McKenzie County, North Dakota. The Consent Agreement imposed a $220,000 civil penalty and requires certain compliance improvements.

~~Other operating (income) expense~~Fixed consideration allocated to remaining performance obligations

The following table includes the estimated minimum revenue expected to be recognized in the future related to performance obligations that are unsatisfied (or partially unsatisfied) at the end of the reporting period and is comprised of fixed consideration primarily attributable to contracts with minimum volume commitments and for which a guaranteed amount of revenue can be calculated. These contracts are comprised primarily of gathering and processing, fractionation, export, terminaling and storage agreements.

In accordance with the ~~following:~~optional exemptions that we elected to apply, the amounts presented in the table above exclude variable consideration for which the allocation exception is met and consideration associated with performance obligations of short-term contracts. In addition, consideration from contracts for which we recognize revenue at the amount that we have the right to invoice for services performed is also excluded from the table above, with the exception of any fixed consideration attributable to such contracts. The nature of the performance obligations for which the consideration has been excluded is consistent with the performance obligations described within our revenue recognition accounting policy; the estimated remaining duration of such contracts primarily ranges from 1 to 20 years. In addition, variability exists in the consideration excluded due to the unknown quantity and composition of volumes to be serviced or sold as well as fluctuations in the market price of commodities to be received as consideration or sold over the applicable remaining contract terms. Such variability is resolved at the end of each future month or quarter.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2016~~2018 (“Annual Report”), as well as the unaudited consolidated financial statements and ~~Notes~~notes hereto included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Targa Resources Partners LP (“we,” “our,” the “Partnership” or “TRP”) is a Delaware limited partnership formed in October 2006 by Targa Resources Corp. (“TRC” or “Targa”). Our common units were listed on the NYSE under the symbol “NGLS” prior to TRC’s acquisition on February 17, 2016 of all our outstanding common units that it and its subsidiaries did not already own. Our 9.00% Series A Fixed-to-Floating Rate Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Units (the “Preferred Units”) remain outstanding as preferred limited partner interests in us and continue to trade on the NYSE under the symbol “NGLS PRA.”

Targa Resources GP LLC, our general partner, is a Delaware limited liability company formed by Targa in October 2006 to own a 2% general partner interest in us. Its primary business purpose is to manage our affairs and operations. Targa Resources GP LLC is an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Targa.

On February 17, 2016, TRC completed the previously announced transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, by and among us, our general partner, TRC and Merger Sub pursuant to which TRC acquired indirectly all of our outstanding common units that TRC and its subsidiaries did not already own. Upon the terms and conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub merged with and into TRP, with TRP continuing as the surviving entity and as a subsidiary of TRC. Following the closing of the TRC/TRP Merger on February 17, 2016, TRC owns all our outstanding common units.

To provide these services, we operate in two primary segments: (i) Gathering and Processing, and (ii) Logistics and Marketing (also referred to as the Downstream Business).

Our Gathering and Processing segment includes assets used in the gathering of natural gas produced from oil and gas wells and processing this raw natural gas into merchantable natural gas by extracting NGLs and removing impurities; and assets used for crude oil gathering and terminaling. The Gathering and Processing segment's assets are located in the Permian Basin of West Texas and Southeast New ~~Mexico;~~Mexico (including the Midland and Delaware Basins); the Eagle Ford Shale in South Texas; the Barnett Shale in North Texas; the Anadarko, Ardmore, and Arkoma Basins in Oklahoma (including the SCOOP and STACK) and South Central Kansas; the Williston Basin in North Dakota and in the onshore and near offshore regions of the Louisiana Gulf Coast and the Gulf of Mexico.

Our Logistics and Marketing segment includes ~~all~~ the activities and assets necessary to convert mixed NGLs into NGL products and ~~provides certain value added~~also includes other assets and value-added services such as storing, fractionating, terminaling, transporting and marketing of NGLs and NGL products, including services to LPG exporters; storing and terminaling of refined petroleum products and crude oil and certain natural gas supply and marketing activities in support of our other businesses. The Logistics and Marketing segment also includes ~~our~~the Grand Prix ~~project.~~

~~Logistics~~pipeline (“Grand Prix”), as well as our equity interest in Gulf Coast Express Pipeline LLC (“GCX”), which are both currently under construction and ~~Marketing~~expected to fully begin operations in 2019. Grand Prix, once fully completed, will integrate our gathering and processing positions in the Permian Basin, Southern Oklahoma and North Texas with our downstream facilities in Mont Belvieu, Texas. The associated assets, including these pipeline projects, are generally connected to and supplied in part by our Gathering and Processing segment and, except for the pipeline projects and smaller terminals, are located predominantly ~~located~~ in Mont Belvieu and Galena Park, Texas, and ~~Channelview, Texas;~~in Lake Charles, ~~Louisiana and Tacoma, Washington.~~Louisiana.

~~On March 1, 2017,~~In February 2018, in response to increasing production and to meet the infrastructure needs of producers, we ~~completed~~announced plans to construct two new cryogenic natural gas processing plants, each with a processing capacity of 250 MMcf/d. The first plant, known as the ~~purchase~~Hopson Plant, began operations at the end of 100% of the membership interests of Outrigger Delaware Operating, LLC, Outrigger Southern Delaware Operating, LLC (together “New Delaware”) and Outrigger Midland Operating, LLC (“New Midland” and together with New Delaware, the “Permian Acquisition”).

We paid $484.1 million in cash at closing on March 1, 2017, and paid an additional $90.0 million in cash on May 30, 2017 (collectively, the "initial purchase price"). Contributions from TRC were used to fund the cash portion of the Permian Acquisition purchase price. Subject to certain performance-linked measures and other conditions, additional cash of up to $935.0 million may be payable to the sellers of New Delaware and New Midland in potential earn-out payments that would occur in 2018 andApril 2019. The ~~potential earn-out payments will be based upon a multiple~~second plant, known as the Pembrook Plant, is expected to begin operations early in the third quarter of ~~realized gross margin from contracts~~2019.

~~New Delaware's~~we entered into long-term fee-based agreements with an investment grade energy company for natural gas gathering and processing and crude gathering assets are located in Loving, Winkler, Pecos and Ward counties. The operations are backed by producer dedications of more than 145,000 acres under long-term, largely fee-based contracts, with an average weighted contract life of 14 years. The New Delaware assets include 70 MMcf/d of processing capacity and we are in the process of installing a 60 MMcf/d plant, known as the Oahu Plant,services in the Delaware Basin ~~with expectations~~and for downstream transportation, fractionation and other related services. The agreements are underpinned by the customer's dedication of ~~commencing~~ significant acreage within a large, well-defined area in the Delaware Basin. We are completing construction of approximately 220 miles of 12- to 24-inch high-pressure rich gas gathering pipelines across the Delaware Basin. We are also constructing a new 250 MMcf/d cryogenic natural gas processing plant (the “Falcon Plant”) in the Delaware Basin that is expected to begin operations in the fourth quarter of ~~2017. Currently, there is 40 MBbl/d~~2019. We have also commenced construction of ~~crude gathering capacity on the New Delaware system.~~

New Midland's gas gathering and processing and crude gathering assets are located in Howard, Martin and Borden counties. The operations are backed by producer dedications of more than 105,000 acres under long-term, largely fee-based contracts, with an average weighted contract life of 13 years. The New Midland assets include 10 MMcf/d of processing capacity. Currently, there is 40 MBbl/d of crude gathering capacity on the New Midland system.

New Delaware's gas gathering and processing assets were connected to our Sand Hills system in the first quarter of 2017, and the New Midland's gas gathering and processing assets were connected to our existing WestTX system in October 2017. We believe connecting the acquired assets to our legacy Permian footprint creates operational and capital synergies, and will afford enhanced flexibility in serving our producer customers.

In November 2016, we announced plans to restart the idled 45 MMcf/d Benedum cryogenic processing plant and to add 20 MMcf/d of capacity at our Midkiff Plant in our WestTX system. The Benedum Plant was idled in September 2014 after the start-up of the 200 MMcf/d Edward Plant, and was brought back online in the first quarter of 2017. The addition of 20 MMcf/d of capacity at our Midkiff Plant was completed in thea second quarter of 2017 and increased overall plant capacity of the Midkiff/Consolidator Plant complex in Reagan County, Texas from 210 MMcf/d to 230 MMcf/d. Also in November 2016, we announced plans to build the 200 MMcf/d Joyce Plant, which is expected to be completed in the first quarter of 2018. We expect total net growth capital expenditures for the Joyce Plant to be approximately $80 million.

In May 2017, we announced plans to build a new plant and expand the gathering footprint of our Permian Midland system in the Midland Basin. This project includes a new 200 MMcf/d cryogenic processing plant, known as the Johnson Plant, which is expected to begin operations in the third quarter of 2018. We expect total net growth capital expenditures for the Johnson Plant to be approximately $100 million.

~~Also in May 2017, we announced plans to build a new plant and expand the gathering footprint of our Permian Delaware system in the Delaware Basin. This project includes a new~~ 250 MMcf/d cryogenic natural gas processing plant ~~known as~~(the “Peregrine Plant”) in the ~~Wildcat Plant, which~~Delaware Basin that is expected to begin operations in the second quarter of ~~2018.~~ 2020.

We ~~expect total net~~will provide NGL transportation services on Grand Prix and fractionation services at our Mont Belvieu complex for a majority of the NGLs from the Falcon and Peregrine Plants. Total growth capital expenditures ~~for~~related to the ~~Wildcat Plant~~plants and high-pressure pipeline system are expected to be approximately ~~$130~~$500 million.

In October 2015, we announced that we had entered into the Carnero Joint Ventures with Sanchez Energy Corporation (“Sanchez”) to construct the 200 MMcf/d Raptor Plant and approximately 45 miles of associated pipelines. In July 2016, Sanchez sold its interest in the gathering joint venture to Sanchez Midstream Partners, L.P. (“SNMP”), formerly known as

Sanchez Production Partners, L.P., and in November 2016, sold its interest in the processing joint venture to SNMP. Through the Carnero Joint Ventures, we indirectly own a 50% interest in the plant and the approximately 45 miles of high pressure gathering pipelines that will connect SNMP's Catarina gathering system to the plant. We hold the capacity on the high pressure gathering pipelines, and pay the gathering joint venture fees for transportation.

~~The Raptor Plant began operations in the second quarter of 2017, and is capable of processing 200 MMcf/d. In February 2017,~~January 2018, we announced the ~~addition~~formation of ~~compression to increase the processing capacity of the Raptor Plant to 260 MMcf/d,~~a 50/50 joint venture with Hess Midstream Partners LP under which ~~we expect to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2017. The Raptor Plant accommodates growing production from Sanchez’s premier Eagle Ford Shale acreage position in Dimmit, La Salle~~Targa will construct and Webb Counties, Texas and from other third party producers. The plant and high pressure gathering pipelines are supported by long-term, firm, fee-based contracts and acreage dedications with Sanchez. We manage operations of the high pressure gathering lines and the plant. Prior to the plant being placed in service, we benefited from Sanchez natural gas volumes that were processed at our Silver Oak facilities in Bee County, Texas.

~~In May 2017, we acquired~~operate a ~~150~~new 200 MMcf/d natural gas processing plant ~~(the “Flag City Plant”~~(“Little Missouri 4”) ~~and associated assets from subsidiaries of Boardwalk Pipeline Partners, L.P. (“Boardwalk”) for $60.0 million, subject~~at Targa’s existing Little Missouri facility. Little Missouri 4 is anticipated to customary closing adjustments. The gas processing activities under the Flag City Plant contracts have been transferred to our Silver Oak facilities. We shut down the Flag City Plant and are moving the plant and its component parts to other Targa locations.

~~During 2017, we expect to invest approximately $150 million to~~ ~~expand our crude gathering and natural gas processing business~~be completed early in the ~~Williston Basin, North Dakota. The expansion includes the addition~~third quarter of ~~pipelines, LACT units, compression and other infrastructure to support continued growth in producer activity.~~

Through our 76.8% ownership interest in Venice Energy Services Company, L.L.C. (“VESCO”), we have operated the Venice Gas Plant and the Venice gathering system. On April 4, 2017, VESCO entered into a purchase and sale agreement with Rosefield Pipeline Company, LLC, an affiliate of Arena Energy, LP, to sell its 100% ownership interests in Venice Gathering System, L.L.C. (“VGS”), a Delaware limited liability company ~~engaged in the business of transporting natural gas in interstate commerce, under authorization granted by and subject to the jurisdiction of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (“FERC”), for approximately $0.4 million in cash.~~ ~~Additionally, the VGS asset retirement obligations were assumed by the buyer.~~ VGS owns and operates a natural gas gathering system in the Gulf of Mexico. Historically, VGS has been reported in our Gas Gathering and Processing segment. After the sale of VGS, we continue to operate the Venice Gas Plant through our ownership in VESCO. Targa Midstream Services LLC operated the Venice gathering system for four months after closing pursuant to a Transition Services Agreement with VGS.2019.

In May 2017, we announced initial plans to construct a new common carrier NGL ~~pipeline. The NGL~~ pipeline in Texas and New Mexico, which is owned by Grand Prix Pipeline LLC (“Grand ~~Prix”~~Prix Joint Venture”), a consolidated subsidiary of which Targa owns a 56% interest. Since then, we announced an extension to Southern Oklahoma in March 2018 and an extension to Central Oklahoma in February 2019. Each announced extension is 100% owned by Targa.

Grand Prix will transport ~~volumes~~NGLs from the Permian Basin, ~~and our~~ North Texas, ~~system~~Southern Oklahoma, and Central Oklahoma to our fractionation and storage complex in the NGL market hub at Mont Belvieu, Texas. ~~Grand Prix will be supported by~~The pipeline is comprised of four primary segments:

The three segments noted above are expected to be fully in service in the third quarter of 2019.

~~Concurrent with~~Grand Prix volumes flowing on the ~~sale of~~pipeline from the ~~minority interest~~Permian Basin to Mont Belvieu are included in the Grand Prix Joint Venture, while the volumes flowing from North Texas and Oklahoma to ~~Blackstone,~~Mont Belvieu accrue solely to Targa’s benefit. Total growth capital spending on Grand Prix, including the extensions into Oklahoma, is estimated to be approximately $1.9 billion, with our portion of growth capital spending estimated to be approximately $1.3 billion.

In February 2018, we ~~and EagleClaw Midstream Ventures, LLC ("EagleClaw"~~announced plans to construct a new 100 MBbl/d fractionation train in Mont Belvieu, Texas (“Train 6”), which began operations in early May 2019. The total cost of the fractionation train and related infrastructure is expected to be approximately $350 million. Targa Train 6 LLC, a ~~Blackstone portfolio company,~~joint venture between Targa and Stonepeak Infrastructure Partners (“Stonepeak”), owns 100% interest in certain assets associated with Train 6. Certain fractionation-related infrastructure for Train 6, such as storage caverns and brine handling, will be funded and owned 100% by Targa.

In November 2018, we announced plans to construct two new 110 MBbl/d fractionation trains in Mont Belvieu, Texas (“Train 7 and Train 8”), which are expected to begin operations in the first quarter of 2020 and third quarter of 2020, respectively. The total cost of these fractionation trains and related infrastructure is expected to be approximately $825 million. In connection with the Central Oklahoma Extension, Williams exercised its option to acquire a 20% equity interest in Train 7 and executed a ~~long-term Raw Product Purchase Agreement~~ joint venture agreement with us. Certain fractionation-related infrastructure for ~~transportation~~Train 7, including storage caverns and ~~fractionation~~brine handling, will be funded and owned 100% by Targa. ~~services whereby EagleClaw has dedicated~~

In February 2019, we announced plans to further expand our LPG export capabilities of propane and ~~committed significant NGLs~~butanes at our Galena Park Marine Terminal by increasing refrigeration capacity and associated ~~with EagleClaw's natural gas volumes produced or processed~~load rates. Our current effective export capacity of 7 MMBbl per month will increase to approximately 11 to 15 MMBbl per month, depending upon the mix of propane and butane demand, vessel size and availability of supply, among other factors. The total cost of the expansion and related infrastructure is expected to be approximately $120 million and is expected to be completed in the ~~Delaware Basin.~~third quarter of 2020.

In ~~October~~December 2017, we ~~announced that we executed a letter of intent along~~entered into definitive joint venture agreements with Kinder Morgan Texas Pipeline LLC ~~a subsidiary of Kinder Morgan, Inc.~~ (“~~Kinder Morgan”~~KMTP”) and DCP Midstream Partners, LP (“DCP”) with respect to the joint development of the ~~proposed~~ Gulf Coast Express Pipeline ~~Project ("~~(“GCX ~~Project"~~Pipeline”), ~~which would~~a natural gas pipeline from the Waha hub, including direct connections to the tailgate of many of our Midland Basin processing facilities, to Agua Dulce in South Texas.

Additionally, Blackstone’s capital contributions would have a liquidation preference upon a sale of Targa Badlands LLC.

~~On February 23, 2017,~~In January 2019, we ~~amended our account receivable securitization facility (“Securitization Facility”) to increase the facility size to $350.0~~issued $750.0 million ~~from $275.0 million.~~

~~On June 26, 2017, we redeemed our 6⅜~~of 6½% Senior Notes due August 2022 (“6⅜% Senior Notes”). The redemption price was 103.188% of the principal amount. The $278.7 million principal amount outstanding was redeemed on June 26, 2017 for a total redemption payment of $287.6 million, excluding accrued interest.

~~On October 17, 2017, we issued~~July 2027 and $750.0 million ~~aggregate principal amount~~ of ~~5% senior notes due January 2028 (the “5%~~6⅞% Senior Notes due ~~2028”).

For a discussion of recent accounting pronouncements that will affect us, see “Recent Accounting Pronouncements” included within Note 3 – Significant Accounting Policies in our Consolidated Financial Statements.

The profitability of our business ~~segments~~ is a function of the difference between: (i) the revenues we receive from our operations, including fee-based revenues from services and revenues from the natural gas, NGLs, crude oil and condensate we sell, and (ii) the costs associated with conducting our operations, including the costs of wellhead natural gas, crude oil and mixed NGLs that we purchase as well as operating, general and administrative costs and the impact of our commodity hedging activities. Because commodity price movements tend to impact both revenues and costs, increases or decreases in our revenues alone are not necessarily indicative of increases or decreases in our profitability. Our contract portfolio, the prevailing pricing environment for crude oil, natural gas and NGLs, and the volumes of crude oil, natural gas and NGL throughput on our systems are important factors in determining our profitability. Our profitability is also affected by the NGL content in gathered wellhead natural gas, supply and demand for our products and services, utilization of our assets and changes in our customer mix.

Our profitability is also impacted by fee-based ~~revenues.~~ contracts. Our ~~growth strategy, based on~~growing fee-related capital expenditures for pipelines, expansion of ~~existing~~our downstream facilities, as well as third-party acquisitions of businesses and assets, ~~has increased~~will continue to increase the ~~percentage~~number of our ~~revenues~~contracts that are fee-based. Fixed fees for services such as fractionation, storage, terminaling and crude oil gathering are not directly tied to changes in market prices for commodities. Nevertheless, a change in unit fees due to market dynamics such as available commodity throughput does affect profitability.

Management uses a variety of financial measures and operational measurements to analyze our performance. These include: (1) throughput volumes, facility efficiencies and fuel consumption, (2) operating expenses, (3) capital expenditures and (4) the following non-GAAP measures: gross margin, operating margin, and ~~adjusted~~Adjusted EBITDA.

Our profitability is impacted by our ability to add new sources of natural gas supply and crude oil supply to offset the natural decline of existing volumes from oil and natural gas wells that are connected to our gathering and processing systems. This is achieved by connecting new wells and adding new volumes in existing areas of production, as well as by capturing crude oil and natural gas supplies currently gathered by ~~third-parties.~~third parties. Similarly, our profitability is impacted by our ability to add new sources of mixed NGL supply, ~~typically~~ connected by third-party transportation and Grand Prix, to our Downstream Business fractionation facilities and at times to our export facilities. We fractionate NGLs generated by our gathering and processing plants, as well as by contracting for mixed NGL supply from third-party facilities.

In addition, we seek to increase operating margin by limiting volume losses, reducing fuel consumption and by increasing efficiency. With our gathering systems’ extensive use of remote monitoring capabilities, we monitor the volumes received at the wellhead or central delivery points along our gathering systems, the volume of natural gas received at our processing plant inlets and the volumes of NGLs and residue natural gas recovered by our processing plants. We also monitor the volumes of NGLs received, stored, fractionated and delivered across our logistics assets. This information is tracked through our processing plants and Downstream Business facilities to determine customer settlements for sales and volume related fees for service and helps us increase efficiency and reduce fuel consumption.

As part of monitoring the efficiency of our operations, we measure the difference between the volume of natural gas received at the wellhead or central delivery points on our gathering systems and the volume received at the inlet of our processing plants as an indicator of fuel consumption and line loss. We also track the difference between the volume of natural gas received at the inlet of the processing plant and the NGLs and residue gas produced at the outlet of such plant to monitor the fuel consumption and recoveries of our facilities. Similar tracking is performed for our crude oil gathering and logistics assets. These volume, recovery and fuel consumption measurements are an important part of our operational efficiency analysis and safety programs.

Operating expenses are costs associated with the operation of specific assets. Labor, contract services, repair and maintenance, utilities and ad valorem taxes comprise the most significant portion of our operating expenses. These expenses, other than fuel and power, ~~generally~~ remain relatively stable and independent of the volumes through our systems, but may increase with system expansions and will fluctuate depending on the scope of the activities performed during a specific period.

Capital projects associated with growth and maintenance projects are closely monitored. Return on investment is analyzed before a capital project is approved, spending is closely monitored throughout the development of the project, and the subsequent operational performance is compared to the assumptions used in the economic analysis performed for the capital investment approval.

We define gross margin as revenues less product purchases. It is impacted by volumes and commodity prices as well as by our contract mix and commodity hedging program.

The gross margin impacts of ~~cash flow~~our equity volumes hedge settlements are reported in Other.

We define operating margin as gross margin less operating expenses. Operating margin is an important performance measure of the core profitability of our operations.

Management reviews business segment gross margin and operating margin monthly as a core internal management process. We believe that investors benefit from having access to the same financial measures that management uses in evaluating our operating results. Gross margin and operating margin provide useful information to investors because they are used as supplemental financial measures by management and by external users of our financial statements, including investors and commercial banks, to assess:

Gross margin and operating margin are non-GAAP measures. The GAAP measure most directly comparable to gross margin and operating margin is net ~~income.~~income (loss) attributable to TRP. Gross margin and operating margin are not alternatives to GAAP net income and have important limitations as analytical tools. Investors should not consider gross margin and operating margin in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Because gross margin and operating margin exclude some, but not all, items that affect net income and are defined differently by different companies in our industry, our definitions of gross margin and operating margin may not be comparable with similarly titled measures of other companies, thereby diminishing their utility. Management compensates for the limitations of gross margin and operating margin as analytical tools by reviewing the comparable GAAP measures, understanding the differences between the measures and incorporating these insights into its decision-making processes.

We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) attributable to TRP ~~before: interest;~~before interest, income taxes; depreciation and amortization; impairments of goodwill and property, plant and equipment; gains or losses on debt repurchases, redemptions, amendments, exchanges and early debt extinguishments and asset disposals; risk management activities related to derivative instruments, including the cash impact of hedges acquired in the mergers with Atlas Energy L.P. and Atlas Pipeline Partners L.P. in 2015; non-cash compensation on equity grants; transaction costs related to business acquisitions; ~~the Splitter Agreement adjustment; earnings/losses from unconsolidated affiliates net of distributions, distributions from preferred interests, change in contingent consideration and the noncontrolling interest portion of~~taxes, depreciation and amortization, ~~expense.~~and other items that we believe should be adjusted consistent with our core operating performance. The adjusting items are detailed in the Adjusted EBITDA reconciliation table and its footnotes. Adjusted EBITDA is used as a supplemental financial measure by us and by external users of our financial statements such as investors, commercial banks and others. The economic substance behind our use of Adjusted EBITDA is to measure the ability of our assets to generate cash sufficient to pay interest costs, support our indebtedness and make distributions to holders of our ~~investors.~~equity interests.

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure. The GAAP measure most directly comparable to Adjusted EBITDA is net income (loss) attributable to TRP. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to GAAP net income. Adjusted EBITDA has important limitations as an analytical tool. Investors should not consider Adjusted EBITDA in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Because Adjusted EBITDA excludes some, but not all, items that affect net income and is defined differently by different companies in our industry, our definition of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies, thereby diminishing its utility.

Management compensates for the limitations of Adjusted EBITDA as an analytical tool by reviewing the comparable GAAP measures, understanding the differences between the measures and incorporating these insights into its decision-making processes.

The following tables reconcile the non-GAAP financial measures used by management to the most directly comparable GAAP measures for the periods indicated.

Three Months Ended ~~September 30, 2017~~March 31, 2019 Compared to Three Months Ended ~~September 30, 2016~~March 31, 2018

The ~~increase~~decrease in commodity sales ~~was primarily~~reflects lower NGL, natural gas and condensate prices ($437.8 million) and lower petroleum volumes due to ~~higher commodity prices~~the sale of certain petroleum logistics storage and terminaling facilities in the fourth quarter of 2018 ($~~443.3 million) and increased volumes ($40.0~~40.5 million), partially offset by higher NGL and crude marketing volumes ($228.4 million) and the impact of ~~hedge settlements~~hedges ($~~10.5~~50.5 million). ~~Fee-based and other revenues increased~~The increase in fee-based revenue was primarily due to higher gas processing and crude gathering fees.

The ~~increase~~decrease in product purchases ~~was primarily due to the impact of higher commodity~~reflects decreased NGL, natural gas and condensate prices, ~~and increased~~partially offset by increases in volumes.

In the third quarter of 2017, we experienced limited impacts to our operations as a result of Hurricane Harvey. We incurred: (i) flooding at our Mont Belvieu facilities that resulted in temporary constraints on the receipt of NGLs and the temporary removal of fractionators from service at CBF, resulting in increased levels of mixed NGLs in storage and (ii) the shut-in of our Galena Park Marine Terminal for approximately one week due to the closure of the Houston Ship Channel. Our operating margin for the three months ended September 30, 2017, was reduced by approximately $10 million as a result of Hurricane Harvey, comprised of the impact on the Mont Belvieu and Galena Park Marine Terminal facilities along with lost operating margin associated with temporary production disruptions for a limited number of our producer and downstream customers. We expect to recover approximately $7 million of the reduced operating margin during the fourth quarter of 2017 when the additional stored volumes of mixed NGLs are fractionated and sold. No property insurance claims are expected as a result of the storm as damage to our facilities was minimal. Business interruption insurance claims related to the storm are expected to be minimal.

The higher operating margin and gross margin in ~~2017 reflects~~2019 reflect increased segment margin results for Gathering and Processing ~~partially offset by decreased~~and Logistics and Marketing segment margins. Operating expenses increased compared to 2016 due to the impact of the Permian Acquisition, plant and system expansions in the Permian region and the June 2017 commencement of operations of the Raptor Plant at SouthTX in the Gathering and Processing segment, and higher labor, repairs and maintenance expense in the Logistics and Marketing segment.Marketing. See “—Results of Operations—By Reportable Segment” for additional information regarding changes in operating margin and gross margin on a segment basis.

Depreciation and amortization expense increased primarily due to ~~the impact of~~higher depreciation related to major growth projects placed in service, including the Permian ~~Acquisition~~Basin Segment of Grand Prix, and ~~other growth investments.~~additional processing plants and associated infrastructure in the Permian Basin. The increase is partially offset by lower depreciation for our downstream facilities, resulting from the sale of certain petroleum logistics storage and terminaling facilities in the fourth quarter of 2018.

General and administrative expense increased primarily due to higher compensation and benefits, ~~partially offset by lower~~including increased staffing levels, system costs and outside professional services.

~~The impairment of property, plant and equipment in 2017 reflects~~ ~~an impairment as of September 30, 2017 of gas processing facilities and gathering systems associated with our North Texas operations in the Gathering and Processing segment. The impairment is a result of our current assessment that forecasted undiscounted future~~Interest expense, net, cash flows from operations, while positive, will not be sufficient to recover the existing total net book value of the underlying assets. Given the current price environment, Targa is projecting a continuing decline in natural gas production across the Barnett Shale in North Texas due in part to producers pursuing more attractive opportunities in other basins.

~~Net interest expense decreased primarily~~increased due to ~~the impact~~a reduction of ~~lower average outstanding borrowings during 2017, partially offset by higher~~ non-cash interest ~~expense~~income related to the mandatorily redeemable ~~preferred~~ interests, ~~that is revalued quarterly at~~and higher average borrowings, partially offset by higher capitalized interest related to our major growth investments. During 2018, we recognized non-cash interest income resulting from a decrease in the estimated redemption value as of the ~~reporting date~~mandatorily redeemable interests, primarily attributable to .the February 2018 amendments to such arrangements.

During ~~2017,~~2019, we recorded ~~other income~~expense of ~~$126.8~~$9.7 million resulting from ~~the change~~an increase in the ~~fair~~ value ~~of contingent considerations, substantially all of which was due to the reduction in fair value as of September 30, 2017~~ of the Permian Acquisition contingent consideration ~~liability, which is based on a multiple~~liability. The increase in 2019 was primarily attributable to the elimination of discounting and an increase in actual gross margin ~~realized during~~through the ~~first two annual periods after~~end of the ~~acquisition date.~~ ~~The decrease~~earn-out period. During 2018, we recorded expense of $56.1 million resulting primarily from the increase in fair value as of March 31, 2018 of the Permian Acquisition contingent consideration liability. The fair value change was primarily related to ~~reductions~~an increase in ~~actual and~~underlying forecasted volumes ~~and gross margin as a result of changes in producers’ drilling activity in~~for the ~~region since the acquisition date. Such changes in estimated fair value~~remainder of the ~~contingent consideration~~earn-out period and a shorter term over which such projections are attributable to events and circumstances that occurred after the acquisition date, and as such are recognized in earnings. The fair value of the contingent consideration represents our current view of the future payment amounts, and may decrease or increase until the settlement dates, resulting in the recognition of additional other income (expense).discounted.

~~Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests was higher in 2017 due to increased earnings at our joint ventures as compared with 2016.~~

~~Nine Months Ended September 30, 2017 Compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 2016~~

The increase in commodity sales was primarily due to higher commodity prices ($1,600.9 million) and increased petroleum products and condensate volumes ($44.0 million), partially offset by decreased NGL and natural gas sales volumes ($126.0 million) and the impact of hedge settlements ($48.7 million). Fee-based and other revenues decreased primarily due to lower export fees, partially offset by increases in gas processing and crude gathering fees.

~~The increase in product purchases was primarily due to the impact of higher commodity prices, partially offset by decreased volumes.~~

In the third quarter of 2017, we experienced limited impacts to our operations as a result of Hurricane Harvey. Our operating margin for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, was reduced by approximately $10 million as a result of Hurricane Harvey, comprised

of the impact on the Mont Belvieu and Galena Park Marine Terminal facilities along with lost operating margin associated with temporary production disruptions for a limited number of our producer and chemical customers. We expect to recover approximately $7 million of the reduced operating margin during the fourth quarter of 2017 when the additional stored volumes of mixed NGLs are fractionated and sold.

~~The higher operating margin and gross margin in 2017 reflects increased segment margin results for Gathering and Processing, partially offset by decreased Logistics and Marketing segment margins.~~ Operating expenses increased compared to 2016 due to the impact of the Permian Acquisition, plant and system expansions in the Permian region and the June 2017 commencement of operations of the Raptor Plant at SouthTX in the Gathering and Processing segment, and higher fuel and power that is largely passed through in the Logistics and Marketing segment. ~~See “—Results of Operations—By Reportable Segment” for additional information regarding changes in operating margin and gross margin on a segment basis.~~

~~Depreciation and amortization expense increased primarily due to the impact of~~ the March 2017 Permian Acquisition and the impact of other growth investments, including CBF Train 5 that went into service in the second quarter of 2016 and the Raptor Plant at SouthTX that went into service in the second quarter of 2017.

~~General and administrative expense increased primarily due to higher compensation and benefits, partially offset by lower professional services.~~

~~The impairment of property, plant and equipment in 2017 reflects~~ ~~an impairment of gas processing facilities and gathering systems associated with our North Texas operations in the Gathering and Processing segment (described above).~~

In the first quarter of 2016, we recognized a $24.0 million adjustment to a provisional impairment of goodwill recorded in the fourth quarter of 2015 related to goodwill acquired in the mergers with Atlas Energy L.P. and Atlas Pipeline Partners L.P. in 2015 (collectively the “Atlas mergers’).

~~Other operating expense in 2017 is primarily due to the reduction in the carrying value of our ownership interest in the Venice Gathering System in connection with the April 2017 sale.~~ ~~Other operating expense in 2016 is primarily due to the loss on decommissioning two storage wells at our Hattiesburg facility and an acid gas injection well at our Versado facility.~~

Net interest expense in 2017 decreased as compared with 2016 primarily due to lower average outstanding borrowings during 2017, partially offset by higher non-cash interest expense related to the mandatorily redeemable preferred interests that is revalued quarterly at the estimated redemption value as of the reporting date.

Higher equity losses in 2017 reflects a $12.0 million loss provision due to the impairment of our investment in the T2 EF Cogen joint venture, partially offset by increased equity earnings at Gulf Coast Fractionators.

~~During 2017, we recorded a loss from financing activities of $10.7 million on the redemption of the outstanding~~ ~~6⅜% Senior~~ ~~Notes, whereas in 2016 we recorded a gain of $21.4 million on open market debt repurchases.~~

During 2017, we recorded other income of $125.6 million resulting from the change in the fair value of contingent considerations, substantially all of which was due to the reduction in fair value as of September 30, 2017 of the Permian Acquisition contingent consideration liability.

~~The increase in income tax benefit was primarily due to a Texas Margin Tax refund in the first quarter of 2017.~~

Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests was higher in 2017 due to our October 2016 acquisition of the 37% interest of Versado that we did not already own. Further, earnings at our joint ventures increased as compared with 2016.

~~Three Months Ended September 30, 2017 Compared to Three Months Ended September 30, 2016~~

The increase in gross margin was primarily due to higher commodity prices and higher Permian volumes, including those associated with the Permian Acquisition. Field Gathering and Processing inlet volume increases included all areas in the Permian region, as well as SouthTX, Badlands and SouthOK, partially offset by decreases at WestOK and North Texas. The inlet volume decrease for Coastal Gathering and Processing, which generates significantly lower unit margins, partially offset the Field Gathering and Processing inlet volume increase. NGL production and natural gas sales increased primarily due to increased Field Gathering and Processing inlet volumes. The decrease in NGL sales was primarily due to the deferral to the fourth quarter of 2017 of NGL sales impacted by the temporary operational issues related to Hurricane Harvey. Total crude oil gathered volumes increased in the Permian region due to the Permian Acquisition. Total Badlands crude oil gathered volumes and natural gas volumes increased primarily due to system expansions.

The increase in operating expenses was primarily driven by the inclusion of the Permian Acquisition, plant and system expansions in the Permian region and the June 2017 commencement in operations of the Raptor Plant at SouthTX.

~~Nine Months Ended September 30, 2017 Compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 2016~~

The increase in gross margin was primarily due to higher commodity prices and higher Permian volumes including those associated with the Permian Acquisition. Field Gathering and Processing inlet volume increases included all areas in the Permian region, as well as SouthTX and SouthOK, partially offset by decreases at WestOK and North Texas. The inlet volume decrease for Coastal Gathering and Processing, which generates significantly lower unit margins, more than offset the Field Gathering and Processing inlet volume increase. Despite overall lower inlet volumes, NGL production increased primarily due to increased plant recoveries including additional ethane recovery. Third quarter NGL sales were reduced due to the deferral to the fourth quarter of 2017 of NGL sales impacted by the temporary operational issues related to Hurricane Harvey. Natural gas sales increased primarily due to increased Field Gathering and Processing inlet volumes. Total crude oil gathered volumes increased in the Permian region due to the Permian Acquisition. Total Badlands crude oil gathered increased due to system expansions. Badlands natural gas volumes were relatively flat primarily due to the impact of the severe winter weather in the first quarter of 2017.

The increase in gross margin was primarily due to higher Badlands and Permian volumes, partially offset by lower commodity prices and lower SouthTX volumes. The effect of commodity prices excludes the impact of hedging activities presented in Other. NGL production, NGL sales and natural gas sales increased primarily due to higher Field Gathering and Processing inlet volumes and increased NGL recoveries including reduced ethane rejection. Total crude oil gathered volumes increased in the Permian region due to production from new wells. In the Badlands, total crude oil gathered volumes and natural gas gathered volumes increased primarily due to production from new wells and system expansions.

The increase in operating expenses was primarily driven by gas plant and system expansions in the Permian region. Operating expenses in other regions were relatively flat.

Fractionation ~~gross~~ margin was partially impacted by the variable effects of ~~lower~~ fuel and power that are largely reflected in operating expenses (see footnote (2) above). Terminaling and storage throughput decreased due to the sale of certain petroleum logistics storage and terminaling facilities in the fourth quarter of 2018. Commercial transportation margin decreased due to the sale of the Company’s inland marine barge business in the second quarter of 2018.

Operating expenses ~~increased primarily due to higher labor, higher repairs and maintenance, partially offset by lower fuel and power that is largely passed through.~~

~~Nine Months Ended September 30, 2017 Compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 2016~~

The gross margin results for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 were impacted by the same factors as discussed above for the three months ended September 30, 2017, with the exception of fuel and power, which were higher. Additional factors were lower commercial transportation margin and lower domestic marketing margin. Commercial transportation margin decreased ~~primarily~~ due to lower ~~barge activity. Domestic marketing margin decreased primarily due to lower terminal margins.~~

~~Operating expenses increased primarily due to higher fuel~~taxes and ~~power which is largely passed through, higher labor associated with Train 5, and higher maintenance associated with unusual one-time events in the first quarter of 2017.~~maintenance.

Other contains the results ~~(including any hedge ineffectiveness)~~ of commodity derivative activities related to Gathering and Processing hedges of equity volumes that are included in operating margin and mark-to-market gain/losses related to derivative contracts that were not designated as cash flow hedges. The primary purpose of our commodity risk management activities is to mitigate a portion of

the impact of commodity prices on our operating cash flow. We have entered into derivative instruments to hedge the commodity price associated with a portion of our expected natural gas, NGL and condensate equity volumes in our Gathering and Processing ~~Operations~~operations that result from percent of proceeds/liquids processing arrangements. Because we are essentially forward-selling a portion of our future plant equity volumes, these hedge positions will move favorably in periods of falling commodity prices and unfavorably in periods of rising commodity prices.

As part of the Atlas mergers, outstanding TPL derivative contracts with a fair value of $102.1 million as of February 27, 2015 (the “acquisition date”), were novated to us and included in the acquisition date fair value of assets acquired. We received derivative settlements of $1.4 million and $6.3 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and $5.8 million and $20.9 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, related to these novated contracts. From the acquisition date through September 30, 2017, we have received total derivative settlements of $100.9 million. ~~The remainder of the novated contracts will settle by the end of 2017.~~ ~~These settlements were reflected as a reduction of the acquisition date fair value of the TPL derivative assets acquired and had no effect on results of operations.~~

As of ~~September 30, 2017,~~March 31, 2019, we had ~~$103.9~~$111.7 million of “Cash and cash equivalents,” on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. We believe our cash position, remaining borrowing capacity on our credit facilities (discussed below in “Short-term Liquidity”), and our cash flows from operating activities are adequate to allow us to manage our day-to-day cash requirements and anticipated obligations as discussed further below.

Our ability to finance our operations, including funding capital expenditures and acquisitions, meeting our indebtedness obligations, refinancing our indebtedness and meeting our collateral requirements, will depend on our ability to generate cash in the future. Our ability to generate cash is subject to a number of factors, some of which are beyond our control. These include commodity prices, weather and ongoing efforts to manage operating costs and maintenance capital expenditures, as well as general economic, financial, competitive, legislative, regulatory and other factors.

Our main sources of liquidity and capital resources are internally generated cash flows from operations, contributions from TRC that are funded through TRC’s access to debt and equity markets, borrowings under the TRP Revolver and the Securitization Facility, and access to debt markets. We supplement these sources of liquidity with joint venture arrangements and proceeds from asset sales. For companies involved in hydrocarbon production, transportation and other oil and gas related services, the capital markets have experienced and may continue to experience volatility. Our exposure to adverse credit conditions includes our credit facility, cash investments, hedging abilities, customer performance risks and counterparty performance risks.

Other potential capital resources associated with our existing arrangements include:

A portion of our capital resources are allocated to letters of credit to satisfy certain counterparty credit requirements. These letters of credit reflect our non-investment grade status, as assigned to us by Moody’s and S&P. They also reflect certain counterparties’ views of our financial condition and ability to satisfy our performance obligations, as well as commodity prices and other factors.

Working capital is the amount by which current assets exceed current liabilities. On a consolidated basis, at the end of any given month, accounts receivable and payable ~~that are~~ tied to commodity sales and purchases are relatively balanced, with receivables from NGL ~~and natural gas~~ customers being offset by plant settlements payable to producers. The factors that typically cause overall variability in our reported total working capital are: ~~(1)~~(i) our cash position; ~~(2)~~(ii) liquids inventory levels and valuation, which we closely manage; ~~(3)~~(iii) changes in payables and accruals related to major growth projects; (iv) changes in the fair value of the current portion of derivative contracts; (v) monthly swings in borrowings under the Securitization Facility; and ~~(4)~~(vi) major structural changes in our asset base or business operations, such as acquisitions or divestitures and certain organic growth projects.

~~Our working~~Working capital ~~exclusive~~as of ~~current debt obligations,~~ March 31, 2019 increased ~~$34.7~~$516.0 million ~~from~~compared to December 31, ~~2016~~2018. The increase was primarily attributable to ~~September 30, 2017. The major items contributing to this increase were~~ the ~~increase in inventory~~February redemption of our 4⅛% Senior Notes due ~~to higher prices and volumes, additional collateral posted with our futures broker due to an increase in commodity prices, and greater cash on hand. This increase was~~2019, partially offset by ~~an increase in capital expenditure accruals driven primarily by the Permian activities,~~a lower cash balance and a decrease in our net risk management ~~working capital~~asset position due to changes in ~~the~~ forward prices of commodities. ~~The increase of $253.4 million in current debt obligations was mainly due to the reclassification of the remaining 5% Notes due 2018 to short-term. These notes were redeemed on October 30, 2017.~~

Based on our anticipated levels of operations and absent any disruptive events, we believe that internally generated cash flow, contributions from TRC, borrowings available under the TRP Revolver and the Securitization Facility and proceeds from debt offerings, as well as joint ventures and/or asset sales, should provide sufficient resources to finance our operations, capital expenditures, long-term debt obligations, collateral requirements and ~~quarterly~~ cash distributions to Targa for at least the next twelve months.

In February 2018, we formed three development joint ventures (“DevCo JVs”) with investment vehicles affiliated with Stonepeak, which committed a maximum of ~~long-term debt obligations~~approximately $960 million of capital to the DevCo JVs.

As of March 31, 2019, total contributions from Stonepeak to the DevCo JVs were $701.3 million. As of March 31, 2019, total contributions from Blackstone to the Grand Prix Joint Venture were $265.0 million. These contributions from Stonepeak and ~~preferred units.~~Blackstone are included in noncontrolling interests.

From time to time, we issue long-term debt securities, which we refer to as senior notes. Our senior notes issued to date, generally have similar terms other than interest rates, maturity dates and redemption premiums. ~~All of our fixed rate senior notes provide that the notes may be redeemed at any time at a price equal to 100% plus accrued interest to the redemption date, and in some cases, a make-whole premium.~~ As of ~~September 30, 2017~~March 31, 2019 and December 31, ~~2016,~~2018, the aggregate principal amount outstanding of our senior notes and other various long-term debt obligations, ~~(excluding current maturities)~~including unamortized premiums, debt issuance costs and non-current liabilities of finance leases, was ~~$3,957.6~~$6,683.5 million and ~~$4,206.8~~$5,197.4 million, respectively.~~In October 2017, we issued $750.0 million aggregate principal amount of 5% Senior Notes due 2028, with net proceeds of $744.4 million after costs,~~ ~~and redeemed our outstanding 5% Senior Notes due 2018 at face value plus accrued interest through the redemption date.~~

The majority of our ~~long-term~~ debt is fixed rate borrowings; however, we have some exposure to the risk of changes in interest rates, primarily as a result of the variable rate borrowings under the TRP ~~Revolver.~~Revolver and the Securitization Facility. We may enter into interest rate hedges with the intent to mitigate the impact of changes in interest rates on cash flows. As of ~~September 30, 2017,~~March 31, 2019, we dodid not have any interest rate hedges.

In January 2019, we issued $750.0 million of 6½% Senior Notes due July 2027 and $750.0 million of 6⅞% Senior Notes due January 2029, resulting in total net proceeds of $1,487.3 million. The net proceeds from the offerings were used to redeem in full our outstanding 4⅛% Senior Notes due 2019 at par value plus accrued interest through the redemption date and the remainder was used for general partnership purposes, which included repaying borrowings under our credit facilities.

In April 2019, we closed on the sale of a 45% interest in Targa Badlands LLC, the entity that holds substantially all of our assets in North Dakota, to funds managed by Blackstone for $1.6 billion in cash. We used the net cash proceeds to repay debt and for general corporate purposes, including funding our growth capital program. We continue to be the operator of Targa Badlands LLC and hold majority governance rights. Future growth capital of Targa Badlands LLC is expected to be funded on a pro rata ownership basis. Targa Badlands LLC will pay an MQD to Blackstone and Targa, with Blackstone having a priority right on such MQDs. Additionally, Blackstone’s capital contributions would have a liquidation preference upon a sale of Targa Badlands LLC.

To date, ~~we do not believe~~ our debt balances have not adversely affected our operations, ability to grow or ability to repay or refinance indebtedness. For additional information about our debt-related transactions, see Note 109 - Debt Obligations to our consolidated financial statements. For information about our interest rate risk, see “Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk—Interest Rate Risk.”

In October 2015, we completed an offering of 5,000,000 Preferred Units at a price of $25.00 per unit. We received net proceeds after costs of approximately $121.1 million. The Preferred Units are listed on the NYSE under the symbol “NGLS PRA.” Distributions on our 5,000,000 Preferred Units are cumulative from the date of original issue in October 2015 and are payable monthly in arrears on the 15th day of each month of each year, when, as and if declared by the board of directors of our general partner. Distributions on our Preferred Units are payable out of amounts legally available at a rate equal to 9.0% per annum.

On and after November 1, 2020, distributions on our Preferred Units will accumulate at an annual floating rate equal to the one-month LIBOR plus a spread of 7.71%. At any time on or after November 1, 2020, we may redeem the Preferred Units, in whole or in part, from any source of funds legally available for such purpose, by paying $25.00 per unit plus an amount equal to all accumulated and unpaid distributions thereon to the date of redemption, whether or not declared. In addition, we (or a third party with our prior written consent) may redeem the Preferred Units following certain changes of control, as described in our Partnership Agreement. If we do not (or a third party with our prior written consent does not) exercise this option, then the ~~holders of the~~ Preferred ~~Units (“Preferred Unitholders”)~~Unitholders have the option to convert the Preferred Units into a number of common units per Preferred Unit as set forth in our Partnership Agreement.

As of ~~September 30, 2017,~~March 31, 2019, we were in compliance with the covenants contained in our various debt agreements.

The ~~Consolidated Statements~~primary drivers of ~~Cash Flows included in our historical consolidated financial statements employs the traditional indirect method of presenting~~ cash flows from operating ~~activities. Under~~activities are (i) the ~~indirect method, net~~collection of cash from customers from the sale of NGLs, natural gas and other petroleum commodities, as well as fees for gas processing, crude gathering, export, fractionation, terminaling, storage and transportation, (ii) the payment of amounts related to the purchase of NGLs and natural gas, (iii) changes in payables and accruals related to major growth projects; and (iv) the payment of other expenses, primarily field operating costs, general and administrative expense and interest expense. In addition, we use derivative instruments to manage our exposure to commodity price risk. Changes in the prices of the commodities we hedge impact our derivative settlements as well as our margin deposit requirements on unsettled futures contracts.

Net cash provided by ~~operating activities is derived by adjusting our net income for non-cash items related~~operations decreased in 2019 compared to ~~operating activities. An alternative GAAP presentation employs the direct method in which the actual cash receipts and outlays comprising cash flow are presented.~~

~~The following table displays our operating cash flows using the direct method as a supplement~~2018, primarily due to the ~~presentation~~increase in ~~our consolidated financial statements:~~

~~Higher commodity prices were the primary contributor to increased cash collections and~~ payments for product purchases in 2017 compared to 2016. Cash received from derivative settlements was lower as commodity price spreads between the prices paid to counterparties and the fixed prices we received on those derivative contracts were lower in 2017 in comparison to 2016. Interest payments are lower this year largely due to lower average outstanding debt balances, offset by the timing of payments of interest on two new series of notes we issued in 2016. ~~Cash payments for~~ operating ~~expenses~~ and general and administrative expenses ~~increased primarily due to~~resulting from system expansions and higher compensation and benefits, ~~contractor~~ and ~~other professional services, coupled with higher utilities and higher maintenance.~~ ~~Other cash~~increases in interest payments ~~in 2017 were higher mainly~~ due to ~~transaction expenses associated with~~higher average borrowings, partially offset by the ~~Permian Acquisition~~impact of lower commodity prices and increased margin withdrawals related to our derivative contracts. Lower commodity prices resulted in ~~2017.~~lower product purchases, partially offset by lower cash collections from customers.

In ~~2017,~~2019, we realized a net source of cash from financing activities primarily due to a net increase of debt outstanding, contributions from ~~TRC and General Partner,~~noncontrolling interests, partially offset by apayments of dividends and distributions. The issuance of 6½% Senior Notes due 2027 and 6⅞% Senior Notes due January 2029, partially offset by the redemption of 4⅛% Senior Notes due November 2019 contributed to the net ~~reduction~~increase of debt ~~borrowings and payments of distributions to TRC. We reduced net debt borrowings through~~

~~repayments of the TRP Revolver and redemption of our~~ ~~6⅜%~~ ~~Senior Notes. In September 2017, we sold a 25% interest in the Grand Prix Joint Venture and received a total of $75.0 million in~~outstanding. The contributions from ~~Blackstone.~~noncontrolling interests were primarily from Stonepeak and Blackstone to fund growth projects

In ~~2016,~~2018, we ~~incurred~~realized a net ~~use~~source of cash from financing activities primarily due to a net reduction of debt outstanding and payment of distributions to TRC, offset by contributions from TRC and our general partner. With the contributions from TRC, we repurchased a portion of our senior notes through open market repurchases generally at a discount to par values and repaid a portion of the outstanding borrowings under the TRP ~~Revolver.~~Revolver and contributions from noncontrolling interests, partially offset by the payments of distributions to TRC. The contributions from noncontrolling interests were primarily from Stonepeak and Blackstone to fund growth projects.

~~As a result of the TRC/TRP Merger,~~ TRC is entitled to receive all available Partnership distributions after ~~payment~~payments of preferred distributions each quarter. We have discretion under the Third A&R Partnership Agreement, as to whether to distribute all available cash for any period. See Note 1 – Organization and Operations of the “Consolidated Financial Statements” included in this quarterly report.

The following table details the distributions declared ~~and/or~~and paid by us during the three ~~and nine~~ months ended ~~September 30, 2017.~~March 31, 2019:

Distributions on our Preferred Units are declared and paid monthly. As of ~~September 30, 2017,~~March 31, 2019, we have 5,000,000 Preferred Units outstanding. For the three ~~and nine~~ months ended ~~September 30, 2017,~~March 31, 2019, $2.8 ~~million and $8.4~~ million of distributions were paid. We have accrued distributions to Series A Preferred Unitholders of $0.9 million for ~~September,~~March, which were paid subsequently on ~~October 16, 2017.~~April 15, 2019.

In ~~October 2017,~~April 2019, the board of directors of our general partner declared a cash distribution of $0.1875 per Preferred Unit. This distribution will be paid on ~~November~~May 15, ~~2017.~~2019.

Our capital ~~requirements relate to capital~~ expenditures ~~which~~ are classified as ~~expansion~~growth capital expenditures, ~~(including~~ business ~~acquisitions),~~acquisitions, and maintenance expenditures. ~~Expansion~~Growth capital expenditures improve the service capability of the existing assets, extend asset useful lives, increase capacities from existing levels, add capabilities, reduce costs or enhance revenues, and fund acquisitions of businesses or assets. Maintenance capital expenditures are those expenditures that are necessary to maintain the service capability of our existing assets, including the replacement of system components and equipment, which are worn, obsolete or completing their useful life and expenditures to remain in compliance with environmental laws and regulations.

The following table details cash outlays for capital projects for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018:

We currently estimate that in 2019 we will invest approximately ~~$1,320.0~~$2,300 million in net growth capital expenditures (exclusive of outlays for business acquisitions) and net contributions to investments in unconsolidated affiliates for announced ~~projects in 2017. Given our objective of~~projects. Future growth through expansions of existing assets, other internal growth projects, and acquisitions, we anticipate that over time that we will invest significant amounts of capital to grow and acquire assets. Future expansion capital expenditures may vary significantly based on investment opportunities. We ~~continue to~~ expect that ~~2017~~2019 net maintenance capital expenditures will be approximately ~~$110.0~~$130 million.

~~Our expansion~~Total growth capital expenditures increased for the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~September 30, 2017~~March 31, 2019 as compared to the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~September 30, 2016,~~March 31, 2018, primarily due to spending related to construction of Train 7 and Train 8, and additional processing plants and associated infrastructure in the Permian Basin, the Grand Prix NGL pipeline and the Channelview Splitter, as well as the acquisition of the Flag City. The increase was partially offset by the impact of the substantial completion of the CBF Train 5 project in the second quarter of 2016. OurBasin. Total maintenance capital expenditures increased for ~~2017~~the three months ended March 31, 2019 as compared to ~~2016,~~the three months ended March 31, 2018, primarily due to ~~higher volumes processed on~~ our ~~system.~~ increased asset base and additional infrastructure.

As of ~~September 30, 2017,~~March 31, 2019, there were ~~$38.3~~$56.5 million in surety bonds outstanding related to various performance obligations. These are in place to support various performance obligations as required by (i) statutes within the regulatory jurisdictions where we operate and (ii) counterparty support. Obligations under these surety bonds are not normally called, as we typically comply with the underlying performance requirement.

Item 3. Quantitative and ~~Qualitative~~Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

Our principal market risks are our exposure to changes in commodity prices, particularly to the prices of natural gas, NGLs and crude oil, changes in interest rates, as well as nonperformance by our customers.

We evaluate counterparty risks related to our commodity derivative contracts and trade credit. We have all our commodity derivatives with major financial institutions or major ~~oil~~energy companies. Should any of these financial counterparties not perform, we may not realize the benefit of some of our hedges under lower commodity prices, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations. We sell our natural gas, NGLs and condensate to a variety of purchasers. Non-performance by a trade creditor could result in losses.

Crude oil, NGL and natural gas prices are also volatile. In an effort to reduce the variability of our cash flows, we have entered into derivative instruments to hedge the commodity price associated with a portion of our expected natural gas, ~~equity volumes,~~ NGL ~~equity volumes~~ and condensate equity volumes ~~and~~, future commodity purchases and sales, and transportation basis risk through ~~2020.~~2023. Market conditions may also impact our ability to enter into future commodity derivative contracts.

A significant portion of our revenues are derived from percent-of-proceeds contracts under which we receive a portion of the proceeds from the sale of natural gas and/or NGLs as payment for services. The prices of natural gas, NGLs and ~~NGLs~~crude oil are subject to fluctuations in response to changes in supply, demand, market uncertainty and a variety of additional factors beyond our control. We monitor these risks and enter into hedging transactions designed to mitigate the impact of commodity price fluctuations on our business. Cash flows from a derivative instrument designated as a hedge are classified in the same category as the cash flows from the item being hedged.

The primary purpose of our commodity risk management activities is to hedge some of the exposure to commodity price risk and reduce fluctuations in our operating cash flow due to fluctuations in commodity prices. In an effort to reduce the variability of our cash flows, as of ~~September 30, 2017,~~March 31, 2019, we have hedged the commodity price associated with a portion of our expected (i) natural gas, NGL, and condensate equity volumes in our Gathering and Processing operations that result from our percent-of-proceeds processing arrangements, ~~and~~ (ii) future commodity purchases and sales in our Logistics and Marketing segment and (iii) natural gas transportation basis risk in our Logistics and Marketing segment by entering into derivative instruments. We hedge a higher percentage of our expected equity volumes in the current year compared to future years, for which we hedge incrementally lower percentages of expected equity volumes. With swaps, we typically receive an agreed fixed price for a specified notional quantity of natural gas or NGLs and we pay the hedge counterparty a floating price for that same quantity based upon published index prices. Since we receive from our customers substantially the same floating index price from the sale of the underlying physical commodity, these transactions are designed to effectively lock-in the agreed fixed price in advance for the

volumes hedged. In order to avoid having a greater volume hedged than our actual equity volumes, we typically limit our use of swaps to hedge the prices of less than our expected natural gas and NGL equity volumes. We utilize purchased puts (or floors) and calls (or caps) to hedge additional expected equity commodity volumes without creating volumetric risk. We may buy calls in connection with swap positions to create a price floor with upside. We intend to continue to manage our exposure to commodity prices in the future by entering into derivative transactions using swaps, collars, purchased puts (or floors), futures or other derivative instruments as market conditions permit.

When entering into new hedges, we intend to generally match the NGL product composition and the NGL and natural gas delivery points to those of our physical equity volumes. The NGL hedges cover specific NGL products based upon the expected equity NGL composition. We believe this strategy avoids uncorrelated risks resulting from employing hedges on crude oil or other petroleum products as “proxy” hedges of NGL prices. The fair value of our natural gas and NGL ~~hedges’ fair values~~hedges are based on published index prices for delivery at various locations, which closely approximate the actual natural gas and NGL delivery points. A portion of our condensate sales are hedged using crude oil hedges that are based on the NYMEX futures contracts for West Texas Intermediate light, sweet crude.

A majority of these commodity price ~~hedging transactions~~hedges are ~~typically~~ documented pursuant to a standard International Swap Dealers Association form with customized credit and legal terms. The principal counterparties (or, if applicable, their guarantors) have investment grade credit ratings. Our payment obligations in connection with substantially all of these hedging transactions and any additional credit exposure due to a rise in commodity prices relative to the fixed prices set forth in the hedges are secured by a first priority lien in the collateral securing our senior secured indebtedness that ranks equal in right of payment with liens granted in favor of our senior secured lenders. Absent federal regulations resulting from the Dodd-Frank Act, and as long as this first priority lien is in effect, we expect to have no obligation to post cash, letters of credit or other additional collateral to secure these hedges at any time, even if a counterparty’s exposure to our credit increases over the term of the hedge as a result of higher commodity prices or because there has been a change in our creditworthiness. A purchased put (or floor) transaction does not expose our counterparties to credit risk, as we have no obligation to make future payments beyond the premium paid to enter into the transaction; however, we are exposed to the risk of default by the counterparty, which is the risk that the counterparty will not honor its obligation under the put transaction.

We also enter into commodity price hedging transactions using futures contracts on futures exchanges. Exchange traded futures are subject to exchange margin requirements, so we may have to increase our cash deposit due to a rise in natural gas and NGL prices. Unlike bilateral hedges, we are not subject to counterparty credit risks when using futures on futures exchanges.

These contracts may expose us to the risk of financial loss in certain circumstances. Generally, our hedging arrangements provide us protection on the hedged volumes if prices decline below the prices at which these hedges are set. If prices rise above the prices at which they have been hedged, we will receive less revenue on the hedged volumes than we would receive in the absence of hedges (other than with respect to purchased calls).

To analyze the risk associated with our derivative instruments, we utilize a sensitivity analysis. The sensitivity analysis measures the change in fair value of our derivative instruments based on a hypothetical 10% change in the underlying commodity prices, but does not reflect the impact that the same hypothetical price movement would have on the related hedged items. The financial statement impact on the fair value of a derivative instrument resulting from a change in commodity price would normally be offset by a corresponding gain or loss on the hedged item under hedge accounting. The fair values of our derivative instruments are also influenced by changes in market volatility for option contracts and the discount rates used to determine the present values.

The following table shows the effect of hypothetical price movements on the estimated fair value of our derivative instruments as of March 31, 2019:

The table above contains all derivative instruments outstanding as of the stated date for the purpose of hedging commodity price risk, which we are exposed to due to our equity volumes and future commodity purchases and sales, as well as basis differentials related to our gas transportation arrangements.

Our operating revenues increased (decreased) by ~~net hedge adjustments on commodity derivative contracts of $(3.6)~~$11.8 million and ~~$7.5~~$(38.8) million during the three months ended ~~September 30, 2017~~March 31, 2019 and ~~2016, and $(4.9) million and $46.4 million, during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016,~~2018, as a result of transactions accounted for as derivatives. We account for derivatives designated as hedges that mitigate commodity price risk as cash flow hedges. Changes in fair value are deferred in other comprehensive income until the underlying hedged transactions settle. We also enter into derivative instruments to help manage other short-term commodity-related business risks. We have not designated these derivatives as hedges and record changes in fair value and cash settlements to revenues.

Our risk management position has moved from a net ~~liability~~asset position of ~~$53.3~~$112.7 million at December 31, ~~2016~~2018 to a net ~~liability~~asset position of ~~$63.4~~$46.3 million at ~~September 30, 2017.~~March 31, 2019. The fixed prices we currently expect to receive on derivative contracts are ~~below~~above the aggregate forward prices for commodities related to those contracts, creating this net ~~liability~~asset position.

~~As of September 30, 2017, we had the following derivative instruments that will settle during the years shown below:~~

We account for the fair value of our financial assets and liabilities using a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the significant inputs used in measuring fair value. These tiers include: Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets; Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable; and Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions. We determine the value of our derivative contracts utilizing a discounted cash flow model for swaps and a standard option pricing model for options, based on inputs that are readily available in public markets. For the contracts that have inputs from quoted prices, the classification of these instruments is Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy. For those contracts which we are unable to obtain quoted prices for at least 90% of the full term of the commodity contract, the valuations are classified as Level 3

~~within the fair value hierarchy. See Note 14 - Fair Value Measurements in this Quarterly Report for more information regarding classifications within the fair value hierarchy.~~

We are exposed to the risk of changes in interest rates, primarily as a result of variable rate borrowings under the TRP Revolver and the Securitization Facility. As of ~~September 30, 2017,~~March 31, 2019, we do not have any interest rate hedges. However, we may enter into interest rate hedges in the future with the intent to mitigate the impact of changes in interest rates on cash flows. To the extent that interest rates increase, interest expense for the TRP Revolver and the Securitization Facility will also increase. As of ~~September 30, 2017,~~March 31, 2019, we had ~~$708.1~~$977.6 million in outstanding variable rate borrowings under the TRP Revolver and the Securitization Facility. A hypothetical change of 100 basis points in the interest rate of our variable rate debt would impact our annual interest expense by ~~$7.1 million.~~$9.8 million based on our March 31, 2019 debt balances.

We are subject to risk of losses resulting from nonpayment or nonperformance by our counterparties. The credit exposure related to commodity derivative instruments is represented by the fair value of the asset position (i.e. the fair value of expected future receipts) at the reporting date. Our futures contracts have limited credit risk since they are cleared through an exchange and are margined daily. Should the creditworthiness of one or more of the counterparties decline, our ability to mitigate nonperformance risk is limited to a counterparty agreeing to either a voluntary termination and subsequent cash settlement or a novation of the derivative contract to a third party. In the event of a counterparty default, we may sustain a loss and our cash receipts could be negatively impacted. We have master netting provisions in the International Swap Dealers Association agreements with ~~all~~ our derivative counterparties. These netting provisions allow us to net settle asset and liability positions with the same counterparties within the same Targa entity, and would reduce our maximum loss due to counterparty credit risk by ~~$32.4~~$52.7 million as of ~~September 30, 2017.~~March 31, 2019. The range of losses attributable to our individual counterparties as of March 31, 2019 would be between ~~$0.3~~less than $0.1 million and ~~$8.2~~$21.6 million, depending on the counterparty in default.

We extend credit to customers and other parties in the normal course of business. We have an established policy and various procedures to manage our credit exposure risk, including performing initial and subsequent credit risk analyses, setting maximum credit limits and terms and requiring credit enhancements when necessary. We use credit enhancements including (but not limited to) letters of credit, prepayments, parental guarantees and rights of offset to limit credit risk to ensure that our established credit criteria are followed and financial loss is mitigated or minimized.

We have an active credit management process, which is focused on controlling loss exposure to bankruptcies or other liquidity issues of counterparties. If an assessment of uncollectible accounts resulted in a 1% reduction of our third-party accounts receivable as of ~~September 30, 2017,~~March 31, 2019, our operating income would decrease by ~~$7.1~~$7.5 million in the year of the assessment.

During the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, sales of commodities and fees from midstream services provided to Petredec (Europe) Limited comprised approximately 12% and 14% of our consolidated revenues.

Management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the design and effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) as of the end of the period covered in this Quarterly Report. Based on such evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of March 31, 2019, the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC and (ii) accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial ~~reporting.~~reporting, during our most recent fiscal quarter.

The information required for this item is provided in Note 16 – Contingencies, under the heading “Legal Proceedings” included in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included under Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report, which is incorporated by reference into this item.

For an in-depth discussion of our risk factors, see “Part I—Item 1A. Risk Factors” of our Annual Report. All of these risks and uncertainties could adversely affect our business, financial condition and/or results of operations.

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned thereunto duly authorized.
