NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
Except unit-related amounts, or as noted within the context of each footnote disclosure, the dollar amounts presented in the tabular data within these footnotes are stated in millions of dollars.

SIGNIFICANT RELATIONSHIPS REFERENCED IN THESE
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Unless the context requires otherwise, references to “we,” “us,” “our,” or “Enterprise Products Partners” are intended to mean the business and operations of Enterprise Products Partners L.P. and its consolidated subsidiaries.

References to “EPO” mean Enterprise Products Operating LLC, which is a wholly owned subsidiary of Enterprise Products Partners through which Enterprise Products Partners conducts substantially all of its business, and its consolidated subsidiaries.

References to “EPGP” mean Enterprise Products GP, LLC, which is our general partner.

References to “Duncan Energy Partners” mean Duncan Energy Partners L.P., which is a consolidated subsidiary of EPO.  Duncan Energy Partners is a publicly traded Delaware limited partnership, the common units of which are listed on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) under the ticker symbol “DEP.”  References to “DEP GP” mean DEP Holdings, LLC, which is the general partner of Duncan Energy Partners and is wholly owned by EPO.

References to “Enterprise GP Holdings” mean Enterprise GP Holdings L.P., a publicly traded Delaware limited partnership, the units of which are listed on the NYSE under the ticker symbol “EPE.”  Enterprise GP Holdings owns EPGP.  The general partner of Enterprise GP Holdings is EPE Holdings, LLC (“EPE Holdings”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Dan Duncan LLC.  The membership interests of Dan Duncan LLC are owned of record by a voting trust formed on April 26, 2006, pursuant to the Dan Duncan LLC Voting Trust Agreement dated April 26, 2006 (the “DD LLC Voting Trust Agreement”), among Dan Duncan LLC, Dan L. Duncan, as the record owner of all of the membership interests of Dan Duncan LLC immediately prior to the entering into of the DD LLC Voting Trust Agreement, and Dan L. Duncan, as the initial sole voting trustee.  Immediately upon Mr. Duncan’s death on March 29, 2010, voting and dispositive control of all of the membership interests of Dan Duncan LLC was transferred pursuant to the DD LLC Voting Trust Agreement to three voting trustees. 

The current voting trustees under the DD LLC Voting Trust Agreement (the “DD LLC Trustees”) are: (1) Randa Duncan Williams, Mr. Duncan’s oldest daughter, who is also an existing director on the board of EPE Holdings; (2) Dr. Ralph S. Cunningham, who is currently the President and Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) of EPE Holdings; and (3) Richard H. Bachmann, who is currently the Executive Vice President and Chief Legal Officer of EPGP and one of three managers of Dan Duncan LLC.  Dr. Cunningham and Mr. Bachmann are also currently directors of EPGP, EPE Holdings and DEP GP. 

The DD LLC Voting Trust Agreement requires that there always be two “Independent Voting Trustees” serving.  If Mr. Bachmann or Dr. Cunningham fail to qualify or cease to serve, then the substitute or successor Independent Voting Trustee(s) will be appointed by the then-serving Independent Voting Trustee, provided that if no Independent Voting Trustee is then serving or if a vacancy in a trusteeship of an Independent Voting Trustee is not filled within ninety days of the vacancy’s occurrence, the CEO of EPGP will appoint the successor Independent Voting Trustee(s). 

The DD LLC Voting Trust Agreement also provides for a “Duncan Voting Trustee.”  The Duncan Voting Trustee is appointed by the children of Mr. Duncan acting by a majority or, if less than three children of Mr. Duncan are then living, unanimously.  If for any reason no descendent of Mr. Duncan is appointed as the Duncan Voting Trustee, then such trusteeship will remain vacant until such time as a Duncan Voting Trustee is appointed in the manner provided above.  If a Duncan Voting Trustee for any reason ceases to serve, his or her successor shall be appointed by the children of Mr. Duncan acting by majority or, if less than three children of Mr. Duncan are then living, unanimously.  Ms. Williams is currently the Duncan Voting Trustee.

ENTERPRISE PRODUCTS PARTNERS L.P.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
The DD LLC Trustees are required to treat the member party to the DD LLC Voting Trust Agreement as the beneficial owner for all purposes whatsoever of the membership interests of Dan Duncan LLC.  The estate of Dan L. Duncan became the sole member party to the DD LLC Voting Trust Agreement upon the death of Mr. Duncan on March 29, 2010.  However, the DD LLC Trustees collectively are the record owners of the Dan Duncan LLC membership interests and possess and are entitled to exercise all rights and powers of absolute ownership thereof and to vote, assent or consent with respect thereto and to take party in and consent to any corporate or members’ actions (except those actions, if any, to which the DD LLC Trustees may not legally consent) and subject to the provisions of the DD LLC Voting Trust Agreement, to receive dividends and distributions on the Dan Duncan LLC membership interests.  Except as otherwise provided in the DD LLC Voting Trust Agreement, all actions taken by the DD LLC Trustees are by majority vote.

The DD LLC Trustees serve in such capacity without compensation, but they are entitled to incur reasonable charges and expenses deemed necessary and proper for administering the DD LLC Voting Trust Agreement and to reimbursement and indemnification. 

The DD LLC Voting Trust Agreement will terminate when (1) the descendants of Dan L. Duncan, and entities directly or indirectly controlled by or held for the benefit of any such descendant, no longer own any capital stock of EPCO (as defined below); or (2) upon such earlier date designated by the DD LLC Trustees by an instrument in writing delivered to the member party to the DD LLC Voting Trust Agreement.

On April 27, 2010, the independent co-executors for the estate of Dan L. Duncan were appointed by the probate court.  The independent co-executors are Mr. Bachmann, Dr. Cunningham and Ms. Williams, who are the same persons as the current DD LLC Trustees and voting trustees under a separate voting trust agreement relating to a majority of EPCO’s outstanding shares with voting rights (as more fully described below).

References to “TEPPCO” and “TEPPCO GP” mean TEPPCO Partners, L.P. and Texas Eastern Products Pipeline Company, LLC (which is the general partner of TEPPCO), respectively, prior to their mergers with our subsidiaries.  On October 26, 2009, we completed the mergers with TEPPCO and TEPPCO GP (such related mergers referred to herein individually and together as the “TEPPCO Merger”). 
   
References to “Energy Transfer Equity” mean the business and operations of Energy Transfer Equity, L.P. and its consolidated subsidiaries, which include Energy Transfer Partners, L.P. (“ETP”).  Energy Transfer Equity is a publicly traded Delaware limited partnership, the common units of which are listed on the NYSE under the ticker symbol “ETE.”  ETP is a publicly traded Delaware limited partnership, the common units of which are listed on the NYSE under the ticker symbol “ETP.”  The general partner of Energy Transfer Equity is LE GP, LLC. 

References to “EPCO” mean Enterprise Products Company (formerly EPCO, Inc.) and its privately held affiliates.  Prior to Mr. Duncan’s death on March 29, 2010, we, EPO, Duncan Energy Partners, DEP GP, EPGP, Enterprise GP Holdings and EPE Holdings were affiliates under the common control of Dan L. Duncan, the controlling shareholder of EPCO.  A majority of the outstanding voting capital stock of EPCO is owned of record by a voting trust formed on April 26, 2006, pursuant to the EPCO Inc.

Duncan, as the record owner of a majority of the outstanding voting capital stock of EPCO immediately prior to the entering into of the EPCO Voting Trust Agreement, and Dan L. Duncan, as the initial sole voting trustee.  Immediately upon Mr. Duncan’s death, voting and dispositive control of such majority of the outstanding voting capital stock of EPCO included under the EPCO Voting Trust Agreement was transferred pursuant to the EPCO Voting Trust Agreement to three voting trustees (the “EPCO Trustees”).  The current EPCO Trustees are: (1) Ms. Williams, who serves as Chairman of EPCO; (2) Dr..Cunningham, who serves as a Vice Chairman of EPCO; and (3) Mr. Bachmann, who serves as the President, CEO and Chief Legal Officer of EPCO.  Ms. Williams, Dr. Cunningham and Mr. Bachmann are also currently directors of EPCO.  The current EPCO Trustees are the same as the current DD LLC Trustees for the DD LLC Voting Trust, which controls Dan Duncan LLC.  The current EPCO Trustees are

also the same persons as the individuals appointed on April 27, 2010 as the independent co-executors of the estate of Dan L. Duncan.  Dan Duncan LLC and EPCO also beneficially own approximately 18% and 57%, respectively, of the outstanding units representing limited partner interests of Enterprise GP Holdings.

References to the “Employee Partnerships” mean EPE Unit L.P. (“EPE Unit I”), EPE Unit II, L.P. (“EPE Unit II”), EPE Unit III, L.P. (“EPE Unit III”), Enterprise Unit L.P. (“Enterprise Unit”) and EPCO Unit L.P. (“EPCO Unit”), collectively, all of which are privately held affiliates of EPCO.
 
 
Note 1.  Partnership Organization and Basis of Presentation

We are a publicly traded Delaware limited partnership, the common units of which are listed on the NYSE under the ticker symbol “EPD.”  We were formed in April 1998 to own and operate certain natural gas liquids (“NGLs”) related businesses of EPCO.  We conduct substantially all of our business through our wholly owned subsidiary, EPO.  We are owned 98% by our limited partners and 2% by our general partner, EPGP.  Enterprise GP Holdings owns 100% of EPGP.  The general partner of Enterprise GP Holdings is EPE Holdings, a wholly owned subsidiary of Dan Duncan LLC.  Mr. Dan L. Duncan owned all of the membership interests of Dan Duncan LLC prior to his death on March 29, 2010.  All of the membership interests of Dan Duncan LLC are currently owned of record collectively by the DD LLC Trustees.  We, EPGP, Enterprise GP Holdings, EPE Holdings and Dan Duncan LLC are affiliates and under the collective common control of the DD LLC Trustees and the EPCO Trustees.  The EPCO Trustees are collectively the controlling record shareholders of EPCO.

For financial reporting purposes, we consolidate the financial statements of Duncan Energy Partners with those of our own and reflect its operations in our business segments.  We control Duncan Energy Partners through our ownership of its general partner.  Also, due to common control of the entities by Dan L. Duncan during his lifetime, and thereafter by the DD LLC Trustees and the EPCO Trustees, collectively, the initial consolidated balance sheet of Duncan Energy Partners reflects our historical carrying basis in each of the subsidiaries contributed to Duncan Energy Partners.  Public ownership of Duncan Energy Partners’ net assets and earnings are presented as a component of noncontrolling interest in our consolidated financial statements.  The borrowings of Duncan Energy Partners are presented as part of our consolidated debt.  However, neither Enterprise Products Partners nor EPO have any obligation for the payment of interest or repayment of borrowings incurred by Duncan Energy Partners.

TEPPCO Merger and Basis of Presentation

Our consolidated financial statements and business segments were recast in connection with the TEPPCO Merger. On October 26, 2009, the related mergers of our wholly owned subsidiaries with TEPPCO and TEPPCO GP were completed.  Under terms of the merger agreements, TEPPCO and TEPPCO GP became wholly owned subsidiaries of ours, and each of TEPPCO’s unitholders, except for a privately held affiliate of EPCO, were entitled to receive 1.24 of our common units for each TEPPCO unit.  In total, we issued an aggregate of 126,932,318 common units and 4,520,431 Class B units (described below) as consideration in the TEPPCO Merger for both TEPPCO units and the TEPPCO GP membership interests.  TEPPCO’s units, which had been trading on the NYSE under the ticker symbol “TPP,” have been delisted and are no longer publicly traded.  On October 27, 2009, our TEPPCO and TEPPCO GP equity interests were contributed to EPO, and TEPPCO and TEPPCO GP became wholly owned subsidiaries of EPO.

A privately held affiliate of EPCO exchanged a portion of its TEPPCO units, based on the 1.24 exchange rate, for 4,520,431 of our Class B units in lieu of common units.  The Class B units are not entitled to regular quarterly cash distributions for the first 16 quarters following the closing date of the merger.  The Class B units automatically convert into the same number of common units on the date immediately following the payment date for the 16th quarterly distribution following the closing date of the merger.  The Class B units are entitled to vote together with the common units as a single class on partnership matters and, except for the payment of distributions, have the same rights and privileges as our common units.

 Under the terms of the TEPPCO Merger agreements, Enterprise GP Holdings received 1,331,681 of our common units and an increase in the capital account of EPGP to maintain its 2% general partner interest in us as consideration for 100% of the membership interests of TEPPCO GP.

Since Enterprise Products Partners, TEPPCO and TEPPCO GP were under common control of EPCO and its affiliates, the TEPPCO Merger was accounted for at historical costs as a reorganization of entities under common control in a manner similar to a pooling of interests.  The inclusion of TEPPCO and TEPPCO GP in our consolidated financial statements was effective January 1, 2005 since an affiliate of EPCO under common control with Enterprise Products Partners originally acquired ownership interests in TEPPCO GP in February 2005.

Our consolidated financial statements prior to the TEPPCO Merger reflect the combined financial information of Enterprise Products Partners, TEPPCO and TEPPCO GP on a 100% basis.  Third-party and related party ownership interests in TEPPCO and TEPPCO GP are reflected as “Former owners of TEPPCO,” a component of noncontrolling interest.  The financial statements of TEPPCO and TEPPCO GP were prepared from the separate accounting records maintained by TEPPCO and TEPPCO GP.  All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

We revised our business segments and related disclosures to reflect the TEPPCO Merger.  Our reorganized business segments reflect the manner in which these businesses are managed and reviewed by the CEO of our general partner.  Under our new business segment structure, we have five reportable business segments: (i) NGL Pipelines & Services; (ii) Onshore Natural Gas Pipelines & Services; (iii) Onshore Crude Oil Pipelines & Services; (iv) Offshore Pipelines & Services and (v) Petrochemical & Refined Products Services.

There was no change in net income attributable to Enterprise Products Partners L.P. for periods prior to the merger since net income attributable to TEPPCO and TEPPCO GP was allocated to noncontrolling interests.  Additionally, there was no change in our reported earnings per unit for such periods.  See Note 11 for a reconciliation of our consolidated revenues and total segment gross operating margin, which is a non-generally accepted accounting principle (“non-GAAP”) financial measure of segment performance, to our pre-merger amounts.

Our results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of results expected for the full year.  In our opinion, the accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include all adjustments consisting of normal recurring accruals necessary for fair presentation.  Although we believe the disclosures in these financial statements are adequate to make the information presented not misleading, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).  These Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes should be read in conjunction with the Audited Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto included in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009 (our “2009 Form 10-K”).


Note 2.  General Accounting Matters

Estimates

Preparing our financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts presented in the financial statements (i.e. assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses) and disclosures about contingent assets and liabilities.  Our actual results could differ from these estimates.  On an ongoing basis, management reviews its estimates based on currently available information.  Changes in facts and circumstances may result in revised estimates.

At March 31, 2010, the active long-term incentive plans were the Enterprise Products 1998 Long-Term Incentive Plan, the Amended and Restated 2008 Enterprise Products Long-Term Incentive Plan and the 2010 Duncan Energy Partners L.P. Long-Term Incentive Plan.  In addition, we had unvested awards issued, but are not issuing further awards, under the Enterprise Products 2006 TPP Long-Term Incentive Plan (“2006 Plan”).

An allocated portion of the fair value of these long-term incentive plan equity-based awards is charged to us under the administrative services agreement (“ASA”).  See Note 12 for a general description of the ASA with EPCO.  With the exception of certain amounts recorded in connection with EPCO Unit, we are not responsible for reimbursing EPCO for any expenses associated with such awards.  We recognize an expense for our allocated share of the grant date fair value of such awards, with an offsetting amount recorded in equity.  Beginning in February 2009, the ASA was amended to provide that we and other affiliates of EPCO will reimburse EPCO for our allocated share of distributions of cash or securities made to the Class B limited partners of EPCO Unit.  Our reimbursements to EPCO in connection with EPCO Unit were $0.1 million during each of the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009.

Restricted Unit Awards

Restricted unit awards allow recipients to acquire our common units or common units of Duncan Energy Partners (at no cost to the recipient) once a defined vesting period expires, subject to customary forfeiture provisions.  The majority of these awards are subject to cliff vesting, the restrictions on such awards generally lapse four years from the date of grant.  There are also awards that are subject to graded vesting provisions by which one-fourth of each award vests on each of the first, second, third and fourth anniversaries of the date of grant.  The fair value of restricted units is based on the market price per unit of the underlying security on the date of grant.  Compensation expense is recognized based on the grant date fair value, net of an allowance for estimated forfeitures.  Compensation expense for awards with graded vesting provisions is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite period of each separately vesting portion of the award.  As used in the context of our long-term incentive plans, the term “restricted unit” represents a time-vested unit.  Such awards are non-vested until the required service period expires.

Unit Option Awards

Certain long-term incentive plans provide for the issuance of non-qualified incentive options to purchase a fixed number of our common units or common units of Duncan Energy Partners.  When issued, the exercise price of each option award may be no less than the market price of the underlying security on the date of grant.  In general, options granted under the EPCO plans have a vesting period of four years and remain exercisable for five to ten years, as applicable, from the date of grant.

At March 31, 2010, 131,941 UARs had been granted under the 2006 Plan to certain employees of EPCO who work on our behalf.  These awards are subject to five year cliff vesting requirements and are expected to settle in 2012.  The grant date fair value with respect to these UARs is based on a unit price of $37.00 for our common units.  If the employee resigns prior to vesting, these UAR awards are forfeited.

The non-employee directors of DEP GP, the general partner of Duncan Energy Partners, have been granted UARs in the form of letter agreements.  These liability awards are not part of any established long-term incentive plan of EPCO, Enterprise GP Holdings, Duncan Energy Partners or us.  The compensation expense associated with these awards is recognized by DEP GP, which is our consolidated subsidiary.  At March 31, 2010, there were a total of 90,000 outstanding UARs granted to non-employee directors of DEP GP that cliff vest in 2012.  If a director resigns prior to vesting, his UAR awards are forfeited.  The grant date fair value with respect to these UARs is based on an Enterprise GP Holdings’ unit price of $36.68.

Phantom Units

Certain of our long-term incentive plans provide for the issuance of phantom unit awards.  These awards are automatically redeemed for cash based on the fair value of the vested portion of phantom units at redemption dates in each award.  The fair value of each phantom unit award is equal to the closing market price of the underlying security on the redemption date.  Each participant is required to redeem their phantom units as they vest, which is typically three to four years from the date the award is granted.  Our phantom units are accounted for as liability awards.

Profits Interests Awards

As long-term incentive arrangements, EPCO has granted its key employees who perform services on behalf of us, EPCO and other affiliated companies, “profits interests” in the Employee Partnerships, all of which are private company affiliates of EPCO.

Profits interests awards entitle each holder to participate in the expected long-term appreciation in value of the equity securities owned by each Employee Partnership.  The Employee Partnerships own either units of Enterprise GP Holdings or Enterprise Products Partners or a combination of both.  The profits interests awards are subject to customary forfeiture provisions.

The total unrecognized compensation cost of the profits interests awards was $52.7 million at March 31, 2010, of which our share is currently estimated to be $43.0 million.  We expect to recognize our share of the unrecognized compensation cost for these awards over a weighted-average period of 5.9 years.


Note 4.  Derivative Instruments, Hedging Activities and Fair Value Measurements

In the course of our normal business operations, we are exposed to certain risks, including changes in interest rates, commodity prices and, to a limited extent, foreign exchange rates.  In order to manage risks associated with certain identifiable and anticipated transactions, we use derivative instruments.  Derivatives are instruments whose fair value is determined by changes in a specified benchmark such as interest rates, commodity prices or currency values.  Fair value is generally defined as the amount at which a derivative instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, not in a forced sale.  Typical derivative instruments include futures, forward contracts, swaps, options and other instruments with similar characteristics.  Substantially all of our derivatives are used for non-trading activities.

We are required to recognize derivative instruments at fair value as either assets or liabilities on the balance sheet.  While all derivatives are required to be reported at fair value on the balance sheet, changes in fair value of the derivative instruments are reported in different ways depending on the nature and effectiveness of the hedging activities to which they are related.  After meeting specified conditions, a qualified derivative may be specifically designated as a total or partial hedge of:

§  
Changes in the fair value of a recognized asset or liability, or an unrecognized firm commitment - In a fair value hedge, gains and losses for both the derivative instrument and the hedged item are recognized in income during the period of change.

§  
Variable cash flows of a forecasted transaction - In a cash flow hedge, the effective portion of the hedge is reported in other comprehensive income (loss) (“OCI”) and is reclassified into earnings when the forecasted transaction affects earnings.

§  
Foreign currency exposure - A foreign currency hedge can be treated as either a fair value hedge or a cash flow hedge depending on the risk being hedged.

An effective hedge relationship is one in which the change in fair value of a derivative instrument can be expected to offset 80% to 125% of changes in the fair value of a hedged item at inception and throughout the life of the hedging relationship.  The effective portion of a hedge relationship is the amount by which the derivative instrument exactly offsets the change in fair value of the hedged item during the reporting period.  Conversely, ineffectiveness represents the change in the fair value of the derivative instrument that does not exactly offset the change in the fair value of the hedged item.  Any ineffectiveness associated with a hedge relationship is recognized in earnings immediately.  Ineffectiveness can be caused

ENTERPRISE PRODUCTS PARTNERS L.P.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
by, among other things, changes in the timing of forecasted transactions or a mismatch of terms between the derivative instrument and the hedged item.

A contract designated as a cash flow hedge of an anticipated transaction that is probable of not occurring is immediately recognized in earnings.

Interest Rate Derivative Instruments

We utilize interest rate swaps, treasury locks and similar derivative instruments to manage our exposure to changes in the interest rates of certain consolidated debt agreements.  This strategy is a component in controlling our cost of capital associated with such borrowings.

The following table summarizes our interest rate derivative instruments outstanding at March 31, 2010, all of which were designated as hedging instruments under the derivative and hedging guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”):

Changes in the fair value of the interest rate swaps and the related hedged items in a fair value hedge were recorded on the balance sheet with the offset recorded as interest expense.  Cash flow hedges fix the interest rate paid on floating rate debt with the difference between the floating rate and fixed rate being recorded as an increase or decrease to interest expense.  This combined activity resulted in a decrease in interest expense of $4.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and an increase in interest expense of $0.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009.

The prices of natural gas, NGLs, crude oil, refined products and certain petrochemical products are subject to fluctuations in response to changes in supply and demand, market conditions and a variety of additional factors that are beyond our control.  In order to manage the price risk associated with certain exposures, we enter into commodity derivative instruments such as forwards, basis swaps, futures and options contracts.  The following table summarizes our commodity derivative instruments outstanding at March 31, 2010:

(1)  Volume for derivatives designated as hedging instruments reflects the total amount of volumes hedged whereas volume for derivatives not designated as hedging instruments reflects the absolute value of derivative notional volumes.
(2)  The maximum term for derivatives included in the long-term column is December 2012.
(3)  PTR represents the British thermal unit equivalent of the NGLs extracted from natural gas by a processing plant, and includes the natural gas used as plant fuel to extract those liquids, plant flare and other shortages.  See the discussion below for the primary objective of this strategy.
(4)  Excludes 6.1 million barrels (“MMBbls”) of additional hedges executed under contracts that have been designated as normal sales agreements under the FASB’s derivative and hedging guidance.  The combination of these volumes with the 6.3 MMBbls reflected as derivatives in the table above results in a total of 12.4 MMBbls of hedged forecasted NGL sales volumes, which corresponds to the 26.5 billion cubic feet (“Bcf”) of forecasted natural gas purchase volumes for PTR.
(5)  Current and long-term volumes include approximately 134.9 and 9.9 Bcf, respectively, of physical derivative instruments that are predominantly priced at an index plus a premium or minus a discount.
(6)  Reflects the use of derivative instruments to manage risks associated with transportation, processing and storage assets.

Certain of our derivative instruments do not meet hedge accounting requirements; therefore, they are accounted for using mark-to-market accounting.

Our three predominant hedging strategies are hedging natural gas processing margins, hedging anticipated future sales of NGLs, refined products and crude oil associated with volumes held in inventory and hedging the fair value of natural gas in inventory.  The objective of our natural gas processing strategy is to hedge an amount of gross margin associated with the gas processing activities. We achieve this by using physical and financial instruments to lock in the prices of natural gas purchases used for PTR and related NGL sales.  This program consists of (i) the forward sale of a portion of our expected equity NGL

production at fixed prices through December 2010, achieved through the use of forward physical sales and commodity derivative instruments and (ii) the purchase of commodity derivative instruments with a notional amount determined by the amount of natural gas expected to be consumed as PTR in the production of such equity NGL production.  The objective of our NGL, refined products and crude oil sales hedging program is to hedge anticipated future sales of inventory by locking in the sales price through the use of forward physical sales and commodity derivative instruments.  The objective of our natural gas inventory hedging program is to hedge the fair value of natural gas currently held in inventory by locking in the sales price of the inventory through the use of commodity derivative instruments.
 
Foreign Currency Derivative Instruments

We are exposed to a nominal amount of foreign currency exchange risk in connection with our NGL and natural gas marketing activities in Canada.  As a result, we could be adversely affected by fluctuations in currency rates between the U.S. dollar and Canadian dollar.  In order to manage this risk, we may enter into foreign exchange purchase contracts to lock in the exchange rate.  Long-term transactions (more than two months) are accounted for as cash flow hedges.  Shorter term transactions are accounted for using mark-to-market accounting.  At March 31, 2010, we did not have any foreign currency derivative instruments outstanding.
 
Credit-Risk Related Contingent Features in Derivative Instruments

A limited number of our commodity derivative instruments include provisions related to credit ratings and/or adequate assurance clauses.  A credit rating provision provides for a counterparty to demand immediate full or partial payment to cover a net liability position upon the loss of a stipulated credit rating.  An adequate assurance clause provides for a counterparty to demand immediate full or partial payment to cover a net liability position should reasonable grounds for insecurity arise with respect to contractual performance by either party.  At March 31, 2010, the aggregate fair value of our over-the-counter derivative instruments in a net liability position was $5.8 million, all of which was subject to a credit rating contingent feature.  If our credit ratings were downgraded to Ba2/BB, approximately $0.8 million would be payable as a margin deposit to the counterparties, and if our credit ratings were downgraded to Ba3/BB- or below, approximately $5.8 million would be payable as a margin deposit to the counterparties.  Currently, no margin is required to be deposited.  The potential for derivatives with contingent features to enter a net liability position may change in the future as positions and prices fluctuate.

Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at a specified measurement date.  Our fair value estimates are based on either (i) actual market data or (ii) assumptions that other market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability, including estimates of risk.  Recognized valuation techniques employ inputs such as product prices, operating costs, discount factors and business growth rates.  These inputs may be either readily observable, corroborated by market data or generally unobservable.  In developing our estimates of fair value, we endeavor to utilize the best information available and apply market-based data to the extent possible.  Accordingly, we utilize valuation techniques (such as the market approach) that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.

A three-tier hierarchy has been established that classifies fair value amounts recognized or disclosed in the financial statements based on the observability of inputs used to estimate such fair values.  The hierarchy considers fair value amounts based on observable inputs (Levels 1 and 2) to be more reliable and predictable than those based primarily on unobservable inputs (Level 3).  At each balance sheet reporting date, we categorize our financial assets and liabilities using this hierarchy.

The characteristics of fair value amounts classified within each level of the hierarchy are described as follows:

§  
Level 1 fair values are based on quoted prices, which are available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the measurement date.  Active markets are defined as those in which transactions for identical assets or liabilities occur with sufficient frequency so as to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis (e.g., the New York Mercantile Exchange).  Our Level 1 fair values primarily consist of financial assets and liabilities such as exchange-traded commodity derivative instruments.

§  
Level 2 fair values are based on pricing inputs other than quoted prices in active markets (as reflected in Level 1 fair values) and are either directly or indirectly observable as of the measurement date.  Level 2 fair values include instruments that are valued using financial models or other appropriate valuation methodologies.  Such financial models are primarily industry-standard models that consider various assumptions, including quoted forward prices for commodities, the time value of money, volatility factors, current market and contractual prices for the underlying instruments and other relevant economic measures.  Substantially all of these assumptions are: (i) observable in the marketplace throughout the full term of the instrument, (ii) can be derived from observable data or (iii) are validated by inputs other than quoted prices (e.g., interest rate and yield curves at commonly quoted intervals).  Our Level 2 fair values consist of commodity derivative instruments such as forwards, swaps and other instruments transacted on an exchange or over the counter and interest rate derivative instruments.  The fair values of these derivatives are based on observable price quotes for similar products and locations.  The value of our interest rate derivatives are valued by using appropriate financial models with the implied forward London Interbank Offered Rate yield curve for the same period as the future interest swap settlements.

§  
Level 3 fair values are based on unobservable inputs.  Unobservable inputs are used to measure fair value to the extent that observable inputs are not available, thereby allowing for situations in which there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability at the measurement date.  Unobservable inputs reflect the reporting entity’s own ideas about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability (including assumptions about risk).  Unobservable inputs are based on the best information available in the circumstances, which might include the reporting entity’s internally developed data.  The reporting entity must not ignore information about market participant assumptions that is reasonably available without undue cost and effort.  Level 3 inputs are typically used in connection with internally developed valuation methodologies where management makes its best estimate of an instrument’s fair value.  Our Level 3 fair values largely consist of ethane, normal butane and natural gasoline-based contracts

with a range of two to 12 months in term.  We rely on price quotes from reputable brokers in the marketplace who publish price quotes on certain products.  Whenever possible, we compare these prices to other reputable brokers for the same product in the same market.  These prices, combined with our forward transactions, are used in our model to determine the fair value of such instruments.

The following table sets forth, by level within the fair value hierarchy, our financial assets and liabilities measured on a recurring basis at March 31, 2010.  These financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.  Our assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment and may affect the valuation of the fair value assets and liabilities, in addition to their placement within the fair value hierarchy levels.  There were no significant transfers between levels during the three months ended March 31, 2010.

Nonfinancial Assets and Liabilities

Certain nonfinancial assets and liabilities are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis and are subject to fair value adjustments in certain circumstances (e.g., when there is evidence of impairment).  The following table presents the estimated fair value of certain assets carried on our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet by caption for which a nonrecurring change in fair value has been recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2010:

Asset Retirement Obligations

We have recorded asset retirement obligations (“AROs”) related to legal requirements to perform retirement activities as specified in contractual arrangements and/or governmental regulations.  In general, our AROs primarily result from (i) right-of-way agreements associated with our pipeline operations, (ii) leases of plant sites and (iii) regulatory requirements triggered by the abandonment or retirement of certain underground storage assets and offshore facilities.  In addition, our AROs may result from the renovation or demolition of certain assets containing hazardous substances such as asbestos.

The following table presents information regarding our AROs since December 31, 2009:

In general, our intangible assets fall within two categories – customer relationship and contract-based intangible assets.  The values assigned to such intangible assets are amortized to earnings using either (i) a straight-line approach or (ii) other methods that closely resemble the pattern in which the economic benefits of associated resource bases are estimated to be consumed or otherwise used, as appropriate.

Customer relationship intangible assets.  Customer relationship intangible assets represent the estimated economic value assigned to certain relationships acquired in connection with business combinations and asset purchases whereby (i) we acquired information about or access to customers and now have regular contact with them and (ii) the customers now have the ability to make direct contact with us.  Customer relationships may arise from contractual arrangements (such as supplier contracts and service contracts) and through means other than contracts, such as through regular contact by sales or service representatives.  At March 31, 2010, the carrying value of our customer relationship intangible assets was $571.2 million.

Effective January 1, 2010, upon review of the amortization rate estimates established for our Val Verde customer relationship intangible assets, management reduced the amortization period to a gross life of 20 years through 2021.  This change in estimate did not result in a material decrease in net income or earnings per unit for the three months ended March 31, 2010.

Contract-based intangible assets.  Contract-based intangible assets represent specific commercial rights we acquired in connection with business combinations or asset purchases.  At March 31, 2010, the carrying value of our contract-based intangible assets was $464.0 million.

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price of an acquired business over the amounts assigned to assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the transaction.  Goodwill is not amortized; however, it is subject to annual impairment testing at the end of each fiscal year.

Our goodwill impairment testing involves the determination of the fair value of a reporting unit, which is predicated based on our assumptions regarding the future economic prospects of the reporting unit.  Such assumptions include (i) discrete financial forecasts for the assets contained within the reporting unit, which rely on management’s estimates of operating margins and transportation volumes; (ii) long-term growth rates for cash flows beyond the discrete forecast period; and (iii) appropriate discount rates.  Based on our most recent goodwill impairment testing, each reporting unit’s fair value was substantially in excess (a minimum of 10%) of its carrying value.

Our common units represent limited partner interests, which give holders thereof the right to participate in distributions and to exercise the other rights or privileges available to them under our Fifth Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership (together with all amendments thereto, the “Partnership Agreement”).  We are managed by our general partner, EPGP.

In accordance with the Partnership Agreement, capital accounts are maintained for our general partner and limited partners.  The capital account provisions of the Partnership Agreement incorporate principles established for U.S. Federal income tax purposes and are not comparable to GAAP-based equity amounts presented in our consolidated financial statements.  Earnings and cash distributions are allocated to holders of our common units in accordance with their respective percentage interests.

Registration Statements and Equity Offerings

We have filed registration statements with the SEC authorizing the issuance of up to an aggregate of 70,000,000 common units in connection with our distribution reinvestment plan (“DRIP”).  The DRIP provides unitholders of record and beneficial owners of our common units a voluntary means by which they can increase the number of common units they own by reinvesting the quarterly cash distributions they would otherwise receive into the purchase of additional common units.  A total of 36,175,679 common units have been issued under the DRIP registration statement through March 31, 2010.

We have filed a registration statement with the SEC authorizing the issuance of up to an aggregate of 1,200,000 common units in connection with our employee unit purchase plan (“EUPP”).  Under this plan, employees of EPCO can purchase our common units at a 10% discount through payroll deductions.  A total of 871,169 common units have been issued to employees under this plan through March 31, 2010.

We have also filed a universal shelf registration statement with the SEC that allows us to issue an unlimited amount of debt and equity securities.  We have issued 29,852,500 common units in underwritten offerings under this registration statement generating $795.3 million of net cash proceeds through March

31, 2010.  In addition, we have issued $4.0 billion of senior notes under this registration statement through March 31, 2010.

In January 2010, we issued 10,925,000 common units (including an over-allotment of 1,425,000 common units) to the public at an offering price of $32.42 per unit.  We used the net cash proceeds of $343.3 million to temporarily reduce borrowings outstanding under EPO’s Multi-Year Revolving Credit Facility and for general partnership purposes.

In April 2010, we issued 13,800,000 common units (including an over-allotment of 1,800,000 common units) to the public at an offering price of $35.55 per unit.  See Note 18 for additional information.

Class B Units

In October 2009, in connection with the TEPPCO Merger, a privately held affiliate of EPCO exchanged a portion of its TEPPCO units, based on the 1.24 exchange rate, for 4,520,431 of our Class B units in lieu of common units.  The Class B units are not entitled to regular quarterly cash distributions for the first 16 quarters following the closing date of the merger.  The Class B units automatically convert into the same number of common units on the date immediately following the payment date for the 16th quarterly distribution following the closing date of the merger.  The Class B units are entitled to vote together with the common units as a single class on partnership matters and, except for the payment of distributions, have the same rights and privileges as our common units.

Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)

AOCI primarily includes the effective portion of the gain or loss on derivative instruments designated and qualified as a cash flow hedge, foreign currency adjustments and minimum pension liability adjustments.  Amounts accumulated in OCI from cash flow hedges are reclassified into earnings in the same period(s) in which the hedged forecasted transactions (such as a forecasted forward sale of NGLs) affect earnings.  If it becomes probable that the forecasted transaction will not occur, the net gain or loss in AOCI must be immediately reclassified.

Noncontrolling Interest

Prior to the completion of the TEPPCO Merger, effective October 26, 2009, we accounted for the former owners’ interest in TEPPCO and TEPPCO GP as noncontrolling interest.  Under this method of presentation, all pre-merger revenues and expenses of TEPPCO and TEPPCO GP are included in net income, and the former owners’ share of the income of TEPPCO and TEPPCO GP is allocated to net income attributable to noncontrolling interest.  In addition, the former owners’ share of the net assets of TEPPCO and TEPPCO GP are presented as noncontrolling interest, a component of equity, on our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Note 11.  Business Segments

We have five reportable business segments: NGL Pipelines & Services, Onshore Natural Gas Pipelines & Services, Onshore Crude Oil Pipelines & Services, Offshore Pipelines & Services and Petrochemical & Refined Products Services.  Our business segments are generally organized and managed according to the type of services rendered (or technologies employed) and products produced and/or sold.

We evaluate segment performance based on the non-GAAP financial measure of gross operating margin. Gross operating margin (either in total or by individual segment) is an important performance measure of the core profitability of our operations.  This measure forms the basis of our internal financial reporting and is used by our management in deciding how to allocate capital resources among business segments.  We believe that investors benefit from having access to the same financial measures that our management uses in evaluating segment results.  The GAAP financial measure most directly comparable to total segment gross operating margin is operating income.  Our non-GAAP financial measure of total segment gross operating margin should not be considered an alternative to GAAP operating income.

We define total segment gross operating margin as operating income before: (i) depreciation, amortization and accretion expense; (ii) non-cash consolidated asset impairment charges; (iii) operating lease expenses for which we do not have the payment obligation; (iv) gains and losses from asset sales and related transactions; and (v) general and administrative costs.  Gross operating margin by segment is calculated by subtracting segment operating costs and expenses (net of the adjustments noted above) from segment revenues, with both segment totals before the elimination of intercompany transactions.  In accordance with GAAP, intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.  Gross operating margin is exclusive of other income and expense transactions, provision for income taxes, the cumulative effect of changes in accounting principles and extraordinary charges.  Gross operating margin is presented on a 100% basis before the allocation of earnings to noncontrolling interests.

We consolidate the financial statements of Duncan Energy Partners with those of our own.  As a result, our consolidated gross operating margin amounts include 100% of the gross operating margin amounts of Duncan Energy Partners.

We believe that the terms and provisions of our related party agreements are fair to us; however, such agreements and transactions may not be as favorable to us as we could have obtained from unaffiliated third parties.

Relationship with EPCO and Affiliates

We have an extensive and ongoing relationship with EPCO and its affiliates, which include the following significant entities that are not a part of our consolidated group of companies:

§  
EPCO and its privately held affiliates;

§  
EPGP, our sole general partner;

§  
Enterprise GP Holdings, which owns and controls our general partner; and

§  
the Employee Partnerships (see Note 3).

EPCO is a privately held company controlled collectively by the EPCO Trustees.  At March 31, 2010, EPCO and its affiliates (including Dan Duncan LLC and two Duncan family trusts the beneficiaries of which include the estate of Dan L. Duncan) beneficially owned interests in the following entities:

(1)  Includes 4,520,431 Class B units owned by a privately held affiliate of EPCO and 21,563,177 common units owned by Enterprise GP Holdings.
(2)  Enterprise GP Holdings owns 100% of our general partner, EPGP.
(3)  An affiliate of EPCO, Dan Duncan LLC, which is controlled by the DD LLC Trustees, who are currently the same individuals as the EPCO Trustees and the independent co-executors of the estate of Dan L. Duncan, also owns 100% of the general partner of Enterprise GP Holdings, EPE Holdings.

The principal business activity of EPGP is to act as our sole managing partner.  The executive officers and certain of the directors of EPGP are employees of EPCO.  The following table presents cash distributions received by EPGP for the periods indicated:

   
For the Three Months
Ended March 31,

We and EPGP are both separate legal entities apart from each other and apart from EPCO, Enterprise GP Holdings and their respective other affiliates, with assets and liabilities that are separate from those of EPCO, Enterprise GP Holdings and their respective other affiliates.  EPCO and its privately held affiliates depend on the cash distributions they receive from us, Enterprise GP Holdings and other investments to fund their other operations and to meet their debt obligations.  The following table presents cash distributions received by EPCO and its privately held affiliates from us and Enterprise GP Holdings for the periods indicated:

Substantially all of the ownership interests in us that are owned or controlled by Enterprise GP Holdings are pledged as security under its credit facility.  In addition, substantially all of the ownership interests in us that are owned or controlled by EPCO and its affiliates, other than those interests owned by Enterprise GP Holdings, Dan Duncan LLC and certain trusts of which the estate of Dan L. Duncan is a beneficiary, are pledged as security under the credit facility of a privately held affiliate of EPCO.  This credit facility contains customary and other events of default relating to EPCO and certain affiliates, including Enterprise GP Holdings and us.

We have entered into an agreement with an affiliate of EPCO to provide trucking services to us for the transportation of NGLs and other products.  We also lease office space in various buildings from affiliates of EPCO.  The rental rates in these lease agreements approximate market rates.

EPCO ASA

We have no employees.  All of our operating functions and general and administrative support services are provided by employees of EPCO pursuant to the ASA or by other service providers.  We, Duncan Energy Partners, Enterprise GP Holdings and our respective general partners are parties to the ASA.  The significant terms of the ASA are as follows:

§  
EPCO will provide selling, general and administrative services, and management and operating services, as may be necessary to manage and operate our businesses, properties and assets (all in accordance with prudent industry practices).  EPCO will employ or otherwise retain the services of such personnel as may be necessary to provide such services.

§  
We are required to reimburse EPCO for its services in an amount equal to the sum of all costs and expenses incurred by EPCO which are directly or indirectly related to our business or activities (including expenses reasonably allocated to us by EPCO).  In addition, we have agreed to pay all sales, use, excise, value added or similar taxes, if any, that may be applicable from time to time in respect of the services provided to us by EPCO.

§  
EPCO will allow us to participate as a named insured in its overall insurance program, with the associated premiums and other costs being allocated to us.

Under the ASA, EPCO subleases to us (for $1 per year) certain equipment which it holds pursuant to operating leases and has assigned to us its purchase option under such leases (the “retained leases”).  EPCO remains liable for the actual cash lease payments associated with these agreements.  We record the full value of these payments made by EPCO on our behalf as a non-cash related party operating lease expense, with the offset to equity accounted for as a general contribution to our partnership.

Our operating costs and expenses include amounts paid to EPCO for the costs it incurs to operate our facilities, including compensation of employees.  We reimburse EPCO for actual direct and indirect expenses it incurs related to the operation of our assets.  Likewise, our general and administrative costs include amounts paid to EPCO for administrative services, including compensation of employees.  In general, our reimbursement to EPCO for administrative services is either (i) on an actual basis for direct expenses it may incur on our behalf (e.g., the purchase of office supplies) or (ii) based on an allocation of such charges between the various parties to the ASA based on the estimated use of such services by each party (e.g., the allocation of general legal or accounting salaries based on estimates of time spent on each entity’s business and affairs).  The following table presents a breakout of costs and expenses related to the ASA and other EPCO transactions for the periods indicated:

   
For the Three Months

ENTERPRISE PRODUCTS PARTNERS L.P.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
Since the vast majority of such expenses are charged to us on an actual basis (i.e., no mark-up or subsidy is charged or received by EPCO), we believe that such expenses are representative of what the amounts would have been on a standalone basis.  With respect to allocated costs, we believe that the proportional direct allocation method employed by EPCO is reasonable and reflective of the estimated level of costs we would have incurred on a standalone basis.

The ASA also addresses potential conflicts that may arise among Enterprise Products Partners (including EPGP), Enterprise GP Holdings (including EPE Holdings), Duncan Energy Partners (including DEP GP), and the EPCO Group with respect to business opportunities (as defined within the ASA) with third parties.  The EPCO Group includes EPCO and its other affiliates, but excludes Enterprise Products Partners, Enterprise GP Holdings, Duncan Energy Partners and their respective general partners.

Relationship with Energy Transfer Equity

Enterprise GP Holdings acquired equity method investments in Energy Transfer Equity and its general partner in May 2007.  As a result, Energy Transfer Equity and its consolidated subsidiaries became related parties to our consolidated businesses.

We have a long-term sales contract with Titan Energy Partners, L.P. (“Titan”), a consolidated subsidiary of ETP.  Titan purchases substantially all of its propane requirements from us.  The contract, which was scheduled to expire March 31, 2010, has been extended through March 31, 2015.  We and Energy Transfer Company (“ETC OLP”) transport natural gas on each other’s systems and share operating expenses on certain pipelines.  ETC OLP also sells natural gas to us.

Relationships with Unconsolidated Affiliates

Many of our unconsolidated affiliates perform supporting or complementary roles to our other business operations.  Since we and our affiliates hold ownership interests in these entities and directly or indirectly benefit from our related party transactions with such entities, they are presented here.  The following information summarizes significant related party transactions with our current unconsolidated affiliates:

§  
We sell natural gas to Evangeline, which, in turn, uses the natural gas to satisfy supply commitments it has with a major Louisiana utility.  Revenues from Evangeline were $37.8 million and $53.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

§  
We pay Promix for the transportation, storage and fractionation of NGLs.  In addition, we sell natural gas to Promix for its plant fuel requirements.  Revenues from Promix were $3.1 million and $2.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.  Expenses with Promix were $8.6 million and $4.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

§  
We paid $2.6 million and $1.7 million to Centennial for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 for other pipeline transportation services, respectively.

§  
For the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, we paid Seaway $1.1 million and $1.8 million, respectively, for transportation and tank rentals in connection with our crude oil marketing activities.

§  
We perform management services for certain of our unconsolidated affiliates.  We charged such affiliates $2.9 million and $2.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Relationship with Duncan Energy Partners

Duncan Energy Partners was formed in September 2006 and did not acquire any assets prior to February 5, 2007, which was the date it completed its initial public offering and acquired controlling interests in five midstream energy businesses from EPO in a drop down transaction.  On December 8, 2008, through a second drop down transaction, Duncan Energy Partners acquired controlling interests in three additional midstream energy businesses from EPO.  The business purpose of Duncan Energy Partners is to acquire, own and operate a diversified portfolio of midstream energy assets and to support the growth objectives of EPO and other affiliates under common control.  Duncan Energy Partners is engaged in the business of (i) NGL transportation, fractionation and marketing; (ii) storage of NGL and petrochemical products; (iii) transportation of petrochemical products and (iv) the gathering, transportation, marketing and storage of natural gas.

At March 31, 2010, Duncan Energy Partners was owned 99.3% by its limited partners and 0.7% by its general partner, DEP GP, which is a wholly owned subsidiary of EPO.  DEP GP is responsible for managing the business and operations of Duncan Energy Partners.  DEP Operating Partnership L.P., a wholly owned subsidiary of Duncan Energy Partners, conducts substantially all of Duncan Energy Partners’ business.  At March 31, 2010, EPO owned 58.6% of Duncan Energy Partners’ limited partner interests and 100% of its general partner.  Due to our control of Duncan Energy Partners, its financial statements are consolidated with those of our own and our transactions with Duncan Energy Partners are eliminated in consolidation.


Note 13.  Earnings Per Unit

Basic earnings per unit is computed by dividing net income or loss available to limited partner interests by the weighted-average number of distribution-bearing units outstanding during a period.  Diluted earnings per unit is computed by dividing net income or loss available to limited partner interests by the sum of (i) the weighted-average number of distribution-bearing units outstanding during a period (as used in determining basic earnings per unit); (ii) the weighted-average number of Class B units outstanding during a period and (iii) the number of incremental common units resulting from the assumed exercise of dilutive unit options outstanding during a period (the “incremental option units”).

In a period of net losses, Class B units and incremental option units are excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per unit due to their antidilutive effect.  The dilutive incremental option units are calculated using the treasury stock method, which assumes that proceeds from the exercise of all in-the-money options at the end of each period are used to repurchase common units at an average market value during the period.  The amount of common units remaining after the proceeds are exhausted represents the potentially dilutive effect of the securities.

Note 14.  Commitments and Contingencies

Litigation

On occasion, we or our unconsolidated affiliates are named as defendants in litigation and legal proceedings relating to our normal business activities, including regulatory and environmental matters.  Although we are insured against various risks to the extent we believe it is prudent, there is no assurance that the nature and amount of such insurance will be adequate, in every case, to indemnify us against liabilities arising from future legal proceedings.  We are not aware of any litigation, pending or threatened, that we believe is reasonably likely to have a significant adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

We evaluate our ongoing litigation based upon a combination of litigation and settlement alternatives.  These reviews are updated as the facts and combinations of the cases develop or change.  Assessing and predicting the outcome of these matters involves substantial uncertainties.  In the event that the assumptions we used to evaluate these matters change in future periods or new information becomes available, we may be required to record a liability for an adverse outcome.  In an effort to mitigate potential adverse consequences of litigation, we could also seek to settle legal proceedings brought against us.  We have not recorded any significant reserves for any litigation in our financial statements.

The Attorney General of Colorado on behalf of the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (“CDPHE”) filed suit against us and others on April 15, 2008 in connection with the construction of a pipeline near Parachute, Colorado.  The State sought a temporary restraining order and an injunction to halt construction activities since it alleged that the defendants failed to install measures to minimize damage to the environment and to follow requirements for the pipeline’s storm water permit and appropriate storm water plan. We have entered into a settlement agreement with the State that dismisses the suit and assesses a fine of approximately $0.2 million.

The CDPHE, through its Air Pollution Control Division, has proposed a Compliance Order on Consent with Enterprise Gas Processing, L.L.C for alleged violations of the Colorado Air Pollution and Prevention and Control Act (“Colorado Act”) with respect to operations of the Meeker Gas Processing Plant.  The Compliance Order proposes an administrative fine of approximately $0.3 million and would require the Meeker Gas Processing Plant to be operated in compliance with the Colorado Act.  We have entered into discussions regarding the terms of the Compliance Order.

In January 2009, the State of New Mexico filed suit in District Court in Santa Fe County, New Mexico, under the New Mexico Air Quality Control Act.  The lawsuit arose out of a February 27, 2008 Notice Of Violation issued to Marathon Oil Corp. (“Marathon”) as operator of the Indian Basin natural gas processing facility located in Eddy County, New Mexico.  We own a 42.4% undivided interest in the assets comprising the Indian Basin facility.  The State alleges violations of its air laws.  Marathon agreed to a Consent Decree with the State which was approved by the District Court on December 21, 2009.  Under the Decree, Marathon paid the State approximately $0.6 million, agreed to $4.5 million of additional environmental projects in New Mexico and agreed to two projects for “corrective measures” at the facility.  We are in discussions with Marathon regarding the responsibility for these payments.  We believe that any potential payment we make will not have a material impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Regulatory Matters

Certain recent scientific studies have suggested that emissions of certain gases, commonly referred to as “greenhouse gases” and including carbon dioxide and methane, may be contributing to climate change.  On June 26, 2009, the U.S. House of Representatives passed the “American Clean Energy and Security Act of 2009,” or “ACESA,” which would establish an economy-wide cap-and-trade program intended to reduce the emissions of greenhouse gases in the United States and would require most sources of greenhouse gas emissions to obtain greenhouse gas emission “allowances” corresponding to their annual emissions of greenhouse gases.  The U.S. Senate has also begun work on its own legislation for controlling

 
46

ENTERPRISE PRODUCTS PARTNERS L.P.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
and reducing emissions of greenhouse gases in the United States.  In addition, on December 7, 2009, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) announced its finding that emissions of greenhouse gases presented an endangerment to human health and the environment.  These findings by the EPA allow the agency to proceed with the adoption and implementation of regulations that would restrict emissions of greenhouse gases under existing provisions of the federal Clean Air Act.  Although it may take the EPA several years to adopt and impose regulations limiting emissions of greenhouse gases, any such regulation could require us to incur costs to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases associated with our operations.  Any laws or regulations that may be adopted to restrict or reduce emissions of greenhouse gases would likely require us to incur increased operating costs, and may have an adverse effect on our business, financial position, demand for our operations, results of operations and cash flows.

Contractual Obligations

Scheduled Maturities of Long-Term Debt.  With the exception of routine fluctuations in the balance of our consolidated revolving credit facilities and the repayment of our Pascagoula MBFC Loan, there have been no significant changes in our consolidated scheduled maturities of long-term debt since those reported in our 2009 Form 10-K.

Operating Lease Obligations. Lease and rental expense included in costs and expenses was $16.4 million and $14.0 million during the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.  There have been no material changes in our operating lease commitments since those reported in our 2009 Form 10-K.

Purchase Obligations.  There have been no material changes in our consolidated purchase obligations since those reported in our 2009 Form 10-K. 

Commitments Under Equity Compensation Plans of EPCO

In accordance with our agreements with EPCO, we reimburse EPCO for our share of its compensation expense associated with certain employees who perform management, administrative and operating functions for us.  See Note 3 for additional information regarding our accounting for equity awards.

Other Claims

As part of our normal business activities with joint venture partners, customers and suppliers, we occasionally have claims made against us as a result of disputes related to contractual agreements or other communications.  As of March 31, 2010, claims against us totaled approximately $56.3 million.  These matters are in various stages of assessment and the ultimate outcome of such disputes cannot be reasonably estimated.  However, in our opinion, the likelihood of a material adverse outcome related to such disputes against us is remote.  Accordingly, accruals for loss contingencies related to these matters that might result from the resolution of such disputes have not been reflected in our consolidated financial statements.

Centennial Guarantees

We have certain guarantee obligations in connection with our ownership interest in Centennial.  We have guaranteed one-half of Centennial’s debt obligations, which obligates us to an estimated payment of $58.9 million in the event of a default by Centennial.  At March 31, 2010, we had a liability of $8.2 million representing the estimated fair value of our share of the Centennial debt guaranty.

In lieu of Centennial procuring insurance to satisfy third-party liabilities arising from a catastrophic event, we and Centennial’s other joint venture partner have entered a limited cash call agreement.  We are obligated to contribute up to a maximum of $50.0 million (in proportion to our ownership interest in Centennial) in the event of a catastrophic event.  At March 31, 2010, we had a liability of $3.6 million representing the estimated fair value of our cash call guaranty.  Cash contributions

We participate as a named insured in EPCO’s insurance program, which provides us with property damage, business interruption and other coverages, the scope and amounts of which are customary and sufficient for the nature and extent of our operations.  While we believe EPCO maintains adequate insurance coverage on our behalf, insurance will not cover every type of damage or interruption that might occur.  If we were to incur a significant liability for which we were not fully insured, it could have a material impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.  In addition, the proceeds of any such insurance may not be paid in a timely manner and may be insufficient to reimburse us for our repair costs or lost income.  Any event that interrupts the revenues generated by our consolidated operations, or which causes us to make significant expenditures not covered by insurance, could reduce our ability to pay distributions to our partners and, accordingly, adversely affect the market price of our common units.

The following table summarizes proceeds we received from weather-related business interruption and property damage insurance claims during the periods indicated:

   
For the Three Months
 
   
Ended March 31,

Total
  $ 29.8     $ 23.2  
                 
(1)  Our operating income for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 includes $7.6 million and $0.6 million, respectively, of proceeds from property damage insurance claims.
 

At March 31, 2010, we had $33.8 million of estimated property damage claims outstanding related to storms that we believe are probable of collection during the next twelve months.  To the extent we estimate the dollar value of such damages, a change in our estimates may occur as additional information becomes available.

Note 17.  Condensed Consolidating Financial Information

EPO conducts substantially all of our business. Currently, we have no independent operations and no material assets outside those of EPO.  EPO consolidates the financial statements of Duncan Energy Partners with those of its own.

EPO has issued publicly traded debt securities.  Enterprise Products Partners L.P., as the parent company of EPO, guarantees the debt obligations of EPO, with the exception of Duncan Energy Partners’ debt obligations.  If EPO were to default on any of its guaranteed debt, Enterprise Products Partners L.P. would be responsible for full repayment of that obligation.  EPO’s consolidated subsidiaries have no significant restrictions on their ability to pay distributions or make loans to Enterprise Products Partners L.P.  See Note 9 for additional information regarding our consolidated debt obligations.

Immediately after the closing of the TEPPCO Merger, Enterprise Products Partners L.P. contributed its ownership interests in TEPPCO and TEPPCO GP to EPO.  The following condensed consolidating financial information for EPO has been recast to include TEPPCO and TEPPCO GP using the same basis of presentation described in Note 1 for our consolidated financial statements.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
Note 18.  Subsequent Events

Enterprise Products Partners Issues 13,800,000 Common Units

In April 2010, we issued 13,800,000 common units (including an over-allotment of 1,800,000 common units) to the public at an offering price of $35.55 per unit.  We used the net cash proceeds of approximately $485.2 million (including a net capital contribution of approximately $9.7 million from EPGP to maintain its 2% general partner interest) to pay a portion of our announced acquisition of assets from M2 Midstream LLC (“Momentum”) and for general partnership purposes.

Acquisition of Natural Gas Gathering Systems in Haynesville Shale Area from Momentum
 
On May 4, 2010, we purchased two natural gas gathering and treating systems from subsidiaries of Momentum for approximately $1.2 billion in cash.  These systems are located in northwest Louisiana and east Texas and gather natural gas produced from the Haynesville/Bossier Shales and the Cotton Valley and Taylor Sands formations.  We used a portion of the proceeds from our April 2010 underwritten equity offering, together with borrowings under EPO’s Multi-Year Revolving Credit Facility, to pay for this acquisition.  Given the recent nature of this transaction, we have not yet completed the related purchase price allocation.  These systems will be integrated into our Onshore Natural Gas Pipelines & Services business segment and complement our existing assets.

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This discussion contains various forward-looking statements and information that are based on our beliefs and those of our general partner, as well as assumptions made by us and information currently available to us.  When used in this document, words such as “anticipate,” “project,” “expect,” “plan,” “seek,” “goal,” “estimate,” “forecast,” “intend,” “could,” “should,” “will,” “believe,” “may,” “potential” and similar expressions and statements regarding our plans and objectives for future operations, are intended to identify forward-looking statements.  Although we and our general partner believe that such expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, neither we nor our general partner can give any assurances that such expectations will prove to be correct. Such statements are subject to a variety of risks, uncertainties and assumptions as described in more detail in Item 1A “Risk Factors” included in our 2009 Form 10-K and in Part II Item 1A of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q.  If one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or if underlying assumptions prove incorrect, our actual results may vary materially from those anticipated, estimated, projected or expected.  You should not put undue reliance on any forward-looking statements.  The forward-looking statements in this quarterly report speak only as of the date hereof.  Except as required by federal and state securities laws, we undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or any other reason.
 

Overview of Business

We are a North American midstream energy company providing a wide range of services to producers and consumers of natural gas, natural gas liquids (“NGLs”), crude oil, refined products and certain petrochemicals.  Our midstream energy asset network links producers of natural gas, NGLs and crude oil from some of the largest supply basins in the United States, Canada and the Gulf of Mexico with domestic consumers and international markets.  In addition, we are an industry leader in the development of pipeline and other midstream energy infrastructure in the continental United States and Gulf of Mexico.  We are a publicly traded Delaware limited partnership formed in 1998, the common units of which are listed on the NYSE under the ticker symbol “EPD.” We conduct substantially all of our business through EPO.  We are owned 98% by our limited partners and 2% by our general partner, EPGP.  EPGP is owned 100% by Enterprise GP Holdings.

In connection with the TEPPCO Merger, we revised our business segments.  Our reorganized business segments reflect the manner in which these businesses are managed and reviewed by the CEO of our general partner.  Under our new business segment structure, we have five reportable business segments: (i) NGL Pipelines & Services; (ii) Onshore Natural Gas Pipelines & Services; (iii) Onshore Crude Oil Pipelines & Services; (iv) Offshore Pipelines & Services; and (v) Petrochemical & Refined Products Services.  Our business segments are generally organized and managed according to the type of services rendered (or technologies employed) and products produced and/or sold.

Basis of Financial Statement Presentation

Since Enterprise Products Partners, TEPPCO and TEPPCO GP were under common control of EPCO and its affiliates, the TEPPCO Merger was accounted for at historical costs as a reorganization of entities under common control in a manner similar to a pooling of interests.  The inclusion of TEPPCO and TEPPCO GP in our consolidated financial statements was effective January 1, 2005 because an affiliate of EPCO under common control with Enterprise Products Partners originally acquired ownership interests in TEPPCO GP in February 2005.

Our consolidated financial statements prior to the TEPPCO Merger reflect the combined financial information of Enterprise Products Partners, TEPPCO and TEPPCO GP on a 100% basis.  Third-party and related party ownership interests in TEPPCO and TEPPCO GP are reflected as “Former owners of TEPPCO,” a component of noncontrolling interest.

The financial statements of TEPPCO and TEPPCO GP were prepared from the separate accounting records maintained by TEPPCO and TEPPCO GP.  All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

There was no change in net income attributable to Enterprise Products Partners L.P. for periods prior to the merger since net income attributable to TEPPCO and TEPPCO GP was allocated to noncontrolling interests.  Additionally, there was no change in our reported earnings per unit for such periods.  See “Other Items” included within this Item 2 for information regarding total segment gross operating margin, which is a non-generally accepted accounting principle (“non-GAAP”) financial measure of segment performance.
 

The following table reconciles total revenues and total gross operating margin for the three months ended March 31, 2009, as currently presented, with those we previously presented (dollars in millions):

Significant Recent Developments

The following information highlights specified significant developments since January 1, 2010 through the date of this filing, including (i) information relevant to an understanding of our financial condition, changes in financial condition or results of operations, and (ii) certain unusual or infrequent events or transactions and known trends or uncertainties that have had or that we reasonably expect may have a material impact on our revenues or income from continuing operations.

Acquisition of Natural Gas Gathering Systems in Haynesville Shale Area from Momentum

On May 4, 2010, we purchased two natural gas gathering and treating systems, the State Line system and the Fairplay system from subsidiaries of M2 Midstream LLC (“Momentum”) for approximately $1.2 billion in cash.  These systems are located in northwest Louisiana and east Texas and gather natural gas produced from the Haynesville/Bossier Shales and the Cotton Valley and Taylor Sands formations.  We used a portion of the proceeds from our April 2010 underwritten equity offering, together with borrowings under EPO’s Multi-Year Revolving Credit Facility, to pay for this acquisition.

The State Line system is located in Desoto and Caddo Parishes, Louisiana and Panola County, Texas.  The system includes 138 miles of natural gas pipelines with a capacity of approximately 400 MMcf/d and two treating facilities.  The State Line system began operations in February 2009 and is currently gathering approximately 260 MMcf/d.  A 50-mile expansion of this system is expected to be completed in June 2010 and will increase its capacity to 700 MMcf/d.  The State Line system is supported by long-term acreage dedications and volumetric commitments from producers.  The State Line system will interconnect with the 42-inch Haynesville Extension of our Acadian Gas System.  The Haynesville Extension is currently under construction and expected to be completed in the third quarter of 2011.  Once connected to the Haynesville Extension, the State Line system can be further expanded to 1.2 Bcf/d for a nominal cost.  

The Fairplay system is located in Rusk, Panola, Gregg and Nacogdoches counties, Texas.  The system includes 249 miles of natural gas pipelines (including approximately 62 miles leased from third parties) with a capacity of approximately 285 MMcf/d, and is currently gathering approximately 180 MMcf/d.  This system is expected to be connected to the Enterprise Texas Pipeline system by the first quarter of 2011.  The Fairplay system is also supported by long-term acreage dedications and volumetric commitments from producers.

Comparison of Three Months Ended March 31, 2010 with Three Months Ended March 31, 2009

Revenues for the first quarter of 2010 were $8.54 billion compared to $4.89 billion for the first quarter of 2009.  The $3.66 billion quarter-to-quarter increase in consolidated revenues is primarily due to higher energy commodity prices and sales volumes during the first quarter of 2010 compared to the first quarter of 2009.  These factors accounted for a $3.63 billion quarter-to-quarter increase in consolidated revenues associated with our NGL, natural gas, crude oil, petrochemical and refined products marketing activities.  Revenues increased $8.7 million quarter-to-quarter as a result of aggregate property damage and business interruption insurance proceeds we received during the first quarter of 2010 associated with our


Offshore Pipelines & Services business segment.  Collectively, the remainder of our consolidated revenues increased $23.8 million quarter-to-quarter due to various factors including contributions from recently acquired and constructed assets and an increase in volumes and/or fees benefiting certain assets across all of our business segments.

Operating costs and expenses were $7.97 billion for the first quarter of 2010 compared to $4.38 billion for the first quarter of 2009, a $3.59 billion quarter-to-quarter increase.  The cost of sales of our marketing activities increased $3.25 billion quarter-to-quarter primarily due to higher energy commodity prices and sales volumes.  Likewise, the operating costs and expenses of our natural gas processing plants increased $264.3 million quarter-to-quarter primarily due to higher plant thermal reduction (“PTR”) costs attributable to an increase in natural gas prices.  Collectively, the remainder of our consolidated operating costs and expenses increased $85.1 million quarter-to-quarter reflecting an increase in expenses for fuel, maintenance, employee compensation and depreciation.  General and administrative costs increased $2.7 million quarter-to-quarter.

Changes in our revenues and costs and expenses quarter-to-quarter are primarily due to changes in energy commodity prices.  The weighted-average indicative market price for NGLs was $1.23 per gallon during the first quarter of 2010 versus $0.66 per gallon during the first quarter of 2009 – an 86% increase quarter-to-quarter.  Our determination of the weighted-average indicative market price for NGLs is based on U.S. Gulf Coast prices for such products at Mont Belvieu, Texas, which is the primary industry hub for domestic NGL production.  The market price of natural gas (as measured at Henry Hub in Louisiana) averaged $5.30 per MMBtu during the first quarter of 2010 versus $4.91 per MMBtu during the first quarter of 2009.  The market price of crude oil (as measured on the NYMEX) averaged $78.72 per barrel during the first quarter of 2010 compared to $43.31 per barrel during the first quarter of 2009 – an 82% increase quarter-to-quarter.  See “—Selected Price and Volumetric Data” included above in this Item 2 for additional historical energy commodity pricing information.

Equity in income of our unconsolidated affiliates was $16.0 million for the first quarter of 2010 compared to $7.4 million for the first quarter of 2009, an $8.6 million quarter-to-quarter increase.  Equity in income from our investments in Cameron Highway Oil Pipeline Company and Poseidon Oil Pipeline Company, L.L.C. collectively increased $6.2 million quarter-to-quarter primarily due to higher crude oil transportation volumes.  Collectively, equity in income of our other investments increased $2.4 million quarter-to-quarter largely due to improved results from our investments in south Louisiana.

Operating income for the first quarter of 2010 was $551.0 million compared to $482.8 million for the first quarter of 2009.  Collectively, the changes in revenues, costs and expenses and equity in income of unconsolidated affiliates described above contributed to the $68.2 million quarter-to-quarter increase in operating income.

Interest expense decreased to $148.6 million for the first quarter of 2010 from $152.5 million for the first quarter of 2009.  The $3.9 million quarter-to-quarter decrease in interest expense is primarily due to lower average debt balances, which were partially offset by a $6.9 million quarter-to-quarter decrease in capitalized interest.  Average debt principal outstanding decreased to $11.17 billion during the first quarter of 2010 from $11.71 billion during the first quarter of 2009 reflecting lower average balances outstanding under revolving credit facilities.

Provision for income taxes decreased $7.3 million quarter-to-quarter primarily due to a one-time charge of $6.6 million associated with taxable gains arising from Dixie Pipeline Company’s sale of certain assets during the first quarter of 2009.

As a result of items noted in the previous paragraphs, our consolidated net income increased $78.3 million quarter-to-quarter to $393.8 million for the first quarter of 2010 compared to $315.5 million for the first quarter of 2009.  Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests was $16.0 million for the first quarter of 2010 compared to $90.2 million for the first quarter of 2009.  Noncontrolling interest for the first quarter of 2009 reflects $78.3 million of net income attributable to the former owners of TEPPCO.  Net


income attributable to Enterprise Products Partners increased $152.5 million quarter-to-quarter to $377.8 million for the first quarter of 2010 compared to $225.3 million for the first quarter of 2009.

The following information highlights significant quarter-to-quarter variances in gross operating margin by business segment:

NGL Pipelines & Services.  Gross operating margin from this business segment was $437.3 million for the first quarter of 2010 compared to $350.9 million for the first quarter of 2009, an $86.4 million quarter-to-quarter increase.

Gross operating margin from our natural gas processing and related NGL marketing business was $259.7 million for the first quarter of 2010 compared to $194.6 million for the first quarter of 2009, a $65.1 million quarter-to-quarter increase.  Equity NGL production increased to 122 MBPD during the first quarter of 2010 from 114 MBPD during the first quarter of 2009.  Our Rocky Mountain natural gas processing plants contributed $25.8 million of the quarter-to-quarter increase in gross operating margin primarily due to the Phase II expansion of our Meeker facility that we completed during March 2009.  Our Rocky Mountain natural gas processing plants produced 71 MBPD of equity NGLs during the first quarter of 2010 compared to 53 MBPD during the first quarter of 2009.  Our NGL marketing activities contributed $19.9 million of the quarter-to-quarter increase in gross operating margin primarily due to increased sales volumes and recognition of earnings associated with forward sales transactions that were settled during the first quarter of 2010.  Collectively, gross operating margin from the remainder of these business activities increased $19.4 million quarter-to-quarter primarily due to higher natural gas processing margins in Louisiana and Texas.

Gross operating margin from our NGL pipelines and related storage business was $150.1 million for the first quarter of 2010 compared to $126.4 million for the first quarter of 2009, a $23.7 million quarter-to-quarter increase.  Total NGL transportation volumes increased to 2,240 MBPD during the first quarter of 2010 from 2,121 MBPD during the first quarter of 2009.  Gross operating margin from our pipelines in South Louisiana, Dixie pipeline and Mid-America and Seminole pipelines increased $11.2 million quarter-to-quarter primarily due to an increase in transportation volumes and higher average fees.  Gross operating margin from our Mont Belvieu storage facility increased $5.5 million quarter-to-quarter primarily due to increased storage volumes and fees.  Collectively, gross operating margin from the remainder of these business activities increased $7.0 million quarter-to-quarter primarily due to increased utilization of our NGL import/export terminal on the Houston Ship Channel and contributions from our Rio Grande pipeline, which we acquired in the fourth quarter of 2009.

Gross operating margin from our NGL fractionation business was $27.5 million for the first quarter of 2010 compared to $29.9 million for the first quarter of 2009.  The $2.4 million quarter-to-quarter decrease was primarily due to operating gains recorded during the first quarter of 2009, which more than offset the effects of an increase in fractionation volumes from all of our NGL fractionators during the first quarter of 2010.  Fractionation volumes were 473 MBPD during the first quarter of 2010 compared to 441 MBPD during the first quarter of 2009.

Onshore Natural Gas Pipelines & Services.  Gross operating margin from this business segment was $130.3 million for the first quarter of 2010 compared to $161.9 million for the first quarter of 2009, a $31.6 million quarter-to-quarter decrease.  Our onshore natural gas transportation volumes were 10,706 BBtus/d during the first quarter of 2010 compared to 10,339 BBtus/d during the first quarter of 2009.

Gross operating margin from our onshore natural gas pipeline and related natural gas marketing business was $116.0 million for the first quarter of 2010 compared to $148.9 million for the first quarter of 2009, a $32.9 million quarter-to-quarter decrease.  Gross operating margin from our natural gas marketing activities decreased $42.9 million quarter-to-quarter primarily due to lower sales margins and higher transportation and storage expenses. Natural gas basis differentials in Texas (specifically, the difference in natural gas prices between markets in west Texas and east Texas) were significantly greater during the first quarter of 2009 relative to the first quarter of 2010.  Higher basis differentials during the first quarter of 2009 resulted in a quarter-to-quarter decrease in natural gas sales margins associated with our marketing


activities and lower pipeline throughput volumes during the first quarter of 2010.  Also, construction delays associated with our Trinity River Lateral have resulted in a loss of approximately $3.0 million per month during 2010 for transportation capacity charges on a downstream pipeline incurred by our natural gas marketing business.  These charges will be offset by the benefits of natural gas volumes originating on the Trinity River Lateral when it commences operation, which is currently expected in July 2010.

Gross operating margin from our Texas Intrastate System increased $2.1 million quarter-to-quarter primarily due to $15.7 million of firm capacity reservation fees generated by the Sherman Extension pipeline during the first quarter of 2010 and an increase in condensate sales revenues due to higher commodity prices.  These benefits were partially offset by the effects of lower throughput volumes on other parts of the Texas Intrastate System and higher operating expenses during the first quarter of 2010 compared to the first quarter of 2009.  The Sherman Extension pipeline began earning firm capacity reservation fees during August 2009.  Collectively, gross operating margin from the remainder of our natural gas pipeline assets increased $7.9 million quarter-to-quarter primarily due to improved results from our San Juan Gathering System as a result of increased revenues earned from natural gas gathering contracts where fees are indexed to regional natural gas prices and higher condensate sales revenues.

Gross operating margin from our natural gas storage business was $14.3 million for the first quarter of 2010 compared to $13.0 million for the first quarter of 2009.  The $1.3 million quarter-to-quarter increase in gross operating margin is primarily due to higher firm storage reservation fees at our Wilson facility.

Onshore Crude Oil Pipelines & Services.  Gross operating margin from this business segment was $26.7 million for the first quarter of 2010 compared to $50.5 million for the first quarter of 2009.  Total onshore crude oil transportation volumes were 672 MBPD during the first quarter of 2010 compared to 645 MBPD during the first quarter of 2009.  The $23.8 million quarter-to-quarter decrease in gross operating margin is primarily due to our crude oil marketing activities, which experienced lower sales margins and volumes during the first quarter of 2010 relative to the first quarter of 2009.  Lower crude oil sales margins reflect a quarter-to-quarter decrease in basis differentials between the price of (i) West Texas Intermediate crude oil versus West Texas Sour crude oil and (ii) Oklahoma Sour crude oil versus Domestic Sweet crude oil.  Also, earnings associated with the settlement of forward crude oil sales transactions were greater during the first quarter of 2009 compared to the first quarter of 2010.

Offshore Pipelines & Services.  Gross operating margin from this business segment was $81.1 million for the first quarter of 2010 compared to $61.3 million for the first quarter of 2009, a $19.8 million quarter-to-quarter increase.  Results for the first quarter of 2010 include $8.7 million of proceeds from insurance claims.  The following paragraphs provide a discussion of segment results excluding insurance proceeds.

Gross operating margin from our offshore crude oil pipeline business was $25.3 million for the first quarter of 2010 compared to $5.1 million for the first quarter of 2009, a $20.2 million quarter-to-quarter increase.  Our Shenzi crude oil pipeline, which commenced operations in April 2009, contributed gross operating margin of $9.1 million during the first quarter of 2010.  Collectively, gross operating margin from the remainder of our crude oil pipelines increased $11.1 million quarter-to-quarter due to increased transportation volumes.  Certain of these pipelines were either in limited service or out of service during the first quarter of 2009 due to volume disruptions caused by the effects of Hurricanes Gustav and Ike.  Total offshore crude oil transportation volumes were 354 MBPD during the first quarter of 2010 versus 126 MBPD during the first quarter of 2009.

Gross operating margin from our offshore natural gas pipeline business was $12.2 million for the first quarter of 2010 compared to $17.7 million for the first quarter of 2009.  Offshore natural gas transportation volumes were 1,406 BBtus/d during the first quarter of 2010 versus 1,542 BBtus/d during the first quarter of 2009.  Collectively, gross operating margin from our offshore natural gas pipelines decreased $5.5 million quarter-to-quarter primarily due to lower transportation volumes on our Independence Trail pipeline.

 
Gross operating margin from our offshore platform services business was $34.9 million for the first quarter of 2010 compared to $38.5 million for the first quarter of 2009.  Our net platform natural gas processing volumes were 632 MMcf/d during the first quarter of 2010 compared to 777 MMcf/d during the first quarter of 2009.  The $3.6 million quarter-to-quarter decrease in gross operating margin is primarily due to lower natural gas processing volumes at our Independence Hub platform.

Volumes on our Independence Hub platform and Independence Trail pipeline experienced a quarter-to-quarter decrease primarily as a result of production declines, downtime for construction of a deck extension and other maintenance work and recompletion of the Mondo well that was finished in March 2010.  Producers currently expect to recomplete an additional well during 2010 and add wells during 2010 and 2011.

Petrochemical & Refined Products Services.  Gross operating margin from this business segment increased $30.5 million to $120.0 million for the first quarter of 2010 from $89.5 million for the first quarter of 2009.

Gross operating margin from propylene fractionation and related activities was $43.1 million for the first quarter of 2010 compared to $23.0 million for the first quarter of 2009.  The $20.1 million quarter-to-quarter increase in gross operating margin is primarily due to higher propylene fractionation volumes and sales margins during the first quarter of 2010 relative to the first quarter of 2009.  Propylene fractionation volumes increased to 80 MBPD during the first quarter of 2010 from 68 MBPD during the first quarter of 2009.

Gross operating margin from octane enhancement was $4.1 million for the first quarter of 2010 compared to a loss of $8.1 million for the first quarter of 2009. The $12.2 million quarter-to-quarter increase in gross operating margin is primarily due to higher margins from sales of methyl tertiary butyl ether (“MTBE”) into export markets and revenues from by-product sales.  Octane enhancement production volumes were 11 MBPD during the first quarter of 2010 compared to 5 MBPD during the first quarter of 2009.

Gross operating margin from butane isomerization was $14.8 million for the first quarter of 2010 compared to $14.9 million for the first quarter of 2009.  The $0.1 million quarter-to-quarter decrease in gross operating margin is primarily due to lower isomerization volumes, the effect of which was partially offset by higher commodity prices resulting in increased revenues from the sale of by-products.  Butane isomerization volumes decreased to 73 MBPD during the first quarter of 2010 from 90 MBPD during the first quarter of 2009.

Gross operating margin from refined products pipelines and related activities was $48.9 million for the first quarter of 2010 compared to $45.5 million for the first quarter of 2009.  The $3.4 million quarter-to-quarter increase in gross operating margin is primarily due to lower operating expenses, higher average transportation fees and an increase in refined products marketing activities, which more than offset the effect of lower transportation volumes.  Pipeline transportation volumes for the refined products business were 682 MBPD during the first quarter of 2010 compared to 724 MBPD during the first quarter of 2009.

Gross operating margin from marine transportation and other services was $9.1 million for the first quarter of 2010 compared to $14.2 million for the first quarter of 2009.  The $5.1 million quarter-to-quarter decrease in gross operating margin is primarily due to higher repair and maintenance expenses during the first quarter of 2010.  A greater percentage of our fleet of marine vessels is scheduled to undergo periodic inspections and repairs during 2010 as compared to 2009.  Higher maintenance expenses were partially offset by an increase in gross operating margin as a result of our acquisition of 19 push boats and 28 barges in June 2009.
 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our primary cash requirements, in addition to normal operating expenses and debt service, are for working capital, capital expenditures, business combinations and distributions to partners.  We expect to fund our short-term needs for such items as operating expenses and sustaining capital expenditures with operating cash flows and revolving credit arrangements.  Capital expenditures for long-term needs resulting from business expansion projects and acquisitions are expected to be funded by a variety of sources (either separately or in combination) including operating cash flows, borrowings under credit facilities, the issuance of additional equity and debt securities and proceeds from divestitures of ownership interests in assets to affiliates or third parties.  We expect to fund cash distributions to partners primarily with operating cash flows.  Our debt service requirements are expected to be funded by operating cash flows and/or refinancing arrangements.

At March 31, 2010, we had $134.9 million of unrestricted cash on hand and approximately $1.86 billion of available credit under our revolving credit facilities, which includes the available borrowing capacity of our consolidated subsidiaries such as Duncan Energy Partners.  We had approximately $11.05 billion in principal outstanding under consolidated debt agreements at March 31, 2010.  In total, our consolidated liquidity at March 31, 2010 was approximately $1.99 billion.

Registration Statements

We may issue equity or debt securities to assist us in meeting our liquidity and capital spending requirements.  Duncan Energy Partners may do likewise in meeting its liquidity and capital spending requirements.  We have a universal shelf registration statement on file with the SEC that would allow us to issue an unlimited amount of debt and equity securities for general partnership purposes.

The following table presents information regarding equity offerings made under our universal shelf registration statement since January 1, 2010 through the date of this filing.  Dollar amounts presented in the tables are in millions, except offering price amounts.

At March 31, 2010, Duncan Energy Partners could issue approximately $856.4 million of additional equity or debt securities under its registration statement.

We have filed registration statements with the SEC authorizing the issuance of up to an aggregate of 70,000,000 common units in connection with our distribution reinvestment plan (“DRIP”).  The DRIP provides unitholders of record and beneficial owners of our common units a voluntary means by which they can increase the number of common units they own by reinvesting the quarterly cash distributions they would otherwise receive into the purchase of additional common units of our partnership.  During the three months ended March 31, 2010, we issued 2,795,549 common units in connection with our DRIP, which generated proceeds of $83.8 million from plan participants.  Affiliates of EPCO reinvested $69.5 million in connection with the DRIP during the three months ended March 31, 2010.

In addition, we have a registration statement on file related to our employee unit purchase plan, under which we can issue up to an aggregate of 1,200,000 common units.  Under this plan, employees of EPCO can purchase our common units at a 10% discount through payroll deductions.  During the three


months ended March 31, 2010, we issued 39,035 common units to employees under this plan, which generated proceeds of $1.2 million.

For information regarding our public debt obligations and partnership equity, see Notes 9 and 10, respectively, of the Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included under Item 1 of this quarterly report.

Letter of Credit Facilities

At March 31, 2010, EPO had outstanding a $58.3 million letter of credit related to its Petal GO Zone Bonds.  This letter of credit facility does not reduce the amount available for borrowing under EPO’s credit facilities.  In April 2010, EPO entered into a $50.0 million letter of credit facility related to its commodity derivative instruments.

Credit Ratings

At May 10, 2010, the investment-grade credit ratings of EPO’s senior unsecured debt securities remain unchanged from March 31, 2010 at Baa3 by Moody’s Investor Services; BBB- by Fitch Ratings; and BBB- by Standard and Poor’s.  On April 30, 2010, Standard and Poor’s affirmed EPO’s corporate credit rating, revised its outlook to “positive” from “stable” and revised its business risk assessment to “strong” from “satisfactory.”  Such ratings reflect only the view of a rating agency and should not be interpreted as a recommendation to buy, sell or hold any security.  Any rating can be revised upward or downward or withdrawn at any time by a rating agency if it determines that the circumstances warrant such a change and should be evaluated independently of any other rating.

Based on the characteristics of the $1.53 billion of fixed/floating unsecured junior subordinated notes, the rating agencies assigned partial equity treatment to the notes.  Moody’s Investor Services and Standard and Poor’s each assigned 50% equity treatment and Fitch Ratings assigned 75% equity treatment. In April 2010, Moody’s published a request for comment with respect to changes Moody’s is proposing regarding its evaluation of the credit attributes of hybrid securities such as our junior subordinated notes.  Moody’s proposed changes include reducing the equity credit that Moody’s assigns to securities such as our junior subordinated notes from 50% to 25%.  Irrespective of whether Moody’s ultimately assigns 50% or 25% equity credit to our junior subordinated notes, we do not believe this will affect our Baa3 senior unsecured debt rating.

A downgrade of our credit ratings could result in our being required to post financial collateral up to the amount of our guaranty of indebtedness of our Centennial joint venture, which was $58.9 million at March 31, 2010.  Furthermore, from time to time we enter into contracts in connection with our commodity and interest rate hedging activities that may require the posting of financial collateral if our credit were to be downgraded below investment grade.

Cash Flows from Operating, Investing and Financing Activities

The following table summarizes our cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities for the periods indicated (dollars in millions).  For information regarding the individual components of our cash flow amounts, see the Unaudited Condensed Statements of Consolidated Cash Flows included under Item 1 of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q.

   
For the Three Months
 
   
Ended March 31,
 
   
2010
   
2009
 
Net cash flows provided by operating activities
  $ 686.9     $ 372.0  
Cash used in investing activities
    370.5       552.6  
Cash provided by (used in) financing activities
    (236.6 )     171.6  
 

The following information highlights the significant quarter-to-quarter variances in our cash flow amounts:

Comparison of Three Months Ended March 31, 2010 with Three Months Ended March 31, 2009

Operating Activities. The $314.9 million increase in net cash flows provided by operating activities was primarily due to the following:

§  
Net cash flows from consolidated operations (excluding distributions received from unconsolidated affiliates and cash payments for interest) increased $363.9 million quarter-to-quarter.  The increase in operating cash flow is generally due to increased profitability and the timing of related cash receipts and disbursements.

§  
Cash payments for interest increased $56.8 million quarter-to-quarter primarily due to an increase in fixed-rate debt obligations quarter-to-quarter.
 
Investing Activities. The $182.1 million decrease in cash used for investing activities was primarily due to the following:

§  
Capital spending for property, plant and equipment, net of contributions in aid of construction costs, decreased $163.3 million quarter-to-quarter.  For additional information related to our capital spending program, see “Liquidity and Capital Resources – Capital Spending” included within this Item 2.

§  
Proceeds from asset sales and related transactions increased $21.4 million quarter-to-quarter.

Financing Activities. Cash used in financing activities was $236.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010 compared to cash provided by financing activities of $171.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009.  The $408.2 million change in financing activities was primarily due to the following:

§  
Net repayments under our consolidated debt agreements of $249.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010 compared to net borrowings under our consolidated debt agreements of $247.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009.  During the three months ended March 31, 2010, EPO temporarily repaid the outstanding balance of its Multi-Year Revolving Credit Facility and its Pascagoula Mississippi Business Finance Corporation (“MBFC”) Loan matured and was repaid.  For information regarding our consolidated debt obligations see Note 9 of the Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included under Item 1 of this quarterly report.

§  
Cash distributions paid to our partners increased $127.6 million quarter-to-quarter due to increases in our common units outstanding and quarterly distribution rates.

§  
Distributions paid to noncontrolling interests decreased $88.1 million quarter-to-quarter primarily due to the cessation of TEPPCO’s cash distributions following the TEPPCO Merger.

§  
Net cash proceeds from the issuance of our common units increased $126.9 million quarter-to-quarter primarily due to more common units issued at a higher price in our underwritten equity offering in January 2010 compared to our underwritten equity offering in January 2009.

Capital Spending

An integral part of our business strategy involves expansion through business combinations, growth capital projects and investments in joint ventures.  We believe that we are positioned to continue to grow our system of assets through the construction of new facilities and to capitalize on expected increases in natural gas and/or crude oil production from resource basins in the Rocky Mountains, Midcontinent,


Northeast and U.S. Gulf Coast regions, including the Barnett Shale, Haynesville Shale, Eagle Ford Shale, Marcellus Shale and deepwater Gulf of Mexico producing regions.

Management continues to analyze potential acquisitions, joint ventures and similar transactions with businesses that operate in complementary markets or geographic regions.  In past years, major oil and gas companies have sold non-strategic assets in the midstream energy sector in which we operate.  We forecast that this trend will continue, and expect independent oil and natural gas companies to consider similar divestitures.

The following table summarizes our capital spending by activity for the periods indicated (dollars in millions):

   
For the Three Months
Ended March 31,
 
   
2010
   
2009
 
Capital spending for property, plant and equipment, net
           
   of contributions in aid of construction costs
  $ 344.2     $ 507.5  
Capital spending for business combinations
    2.2       --  
Capital spending for intangible assets
    --       1.4  
Capital spending for investments in unconsolidated affiliates
    7.7       7.1  
Total capital spending
  $ 354.1     $ 516.0  

Based on information currently available, we estimate our consolidated capital spending for the remainder of 2010 will be approximately $2.66 billion, which includes estimated expenditures of $2.43 billion for growth capital projects and acquisitions and $230.0 million for sustaining capital expenditures.

Our forecast of consolidated capital expenditures is based on our currently announced strategic operating and growth plans, which are dependent upon our ability to generate the required funds from either operating cash flows or from other means, including borrowings under debt agreements, issuance of equity, and potential divestitures of certain assets to third and/or related parties.  Our forecast of capital expenditures may change due to factors beyond our control, such as weather related issues, changes in supplier prices or adverse economic conditions.  Furthermore, our forecast may change as a result of decisions made by management at a later date, which may include acquisitions or decisions to take on additional partners.

Our success in raising capital, including the formation of joint ventures to share costs and risks, continues to be a principal factor that determines how much capital we can invest.  We believe our access to capital resources is sufficient to meet the demands of our current and future operating growth needs, and although we currently intend to make the forecasted expenditures discussed above, we may adjust the timing and amounts of projected expenditures in response to changes in capital markets.

At March 31, 2010, we had approximately $639.3 million in purchase commitments outstanding that relate to our capital spending for property, plant and equipment.  These commitments primarily relate to construction at our Mont Belvieu complex and our Barnett Shale, Haynesville Shale and Piceance Basin natural gas pipeline projects.

Pipeline Integrity Costs

Our NGL, crude oil, refined products, petrochemical and natural gas pipelines are subject to pipeline safety programs administered by the Department of Transportation.  This federal agency has issued safety regulations containing requirements for the development of integrity management programs for hazardous liquid pipelines (which include NGL, crude oil, refined products and petrochemical pipelines) and natural gas pipelines.  In general, these regulations require companies to assess the condition of their pipelines in certain high consequence areas (as defined by the regulations) and to perform any necessary repairs.


The following table summarizes our pipeline integrity costs for the periods indicated (dollars in millions):

   
For the Three Months
 
   
Ended March 31,
 
   
2010
   
2009
 
Expensed
  $ 9.4     $ 7.4  
Capitalized
    2.7       3.5  
    Total
  $ 12.1     $ 10.9  

We expect the costs of our pipeline integrity program, irrespective of whether such costs are capitalized or expensed, to approximate $87.3 million for the remainder of 2010.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

A summary of the significant accounting policies we have adopted and followed in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements is included in our 2009 Form 10-K.  Certain of these accounting policies require the use of estimates.  As more fully described therein, the following estimates, in our opinion, are subjective in nature, require the exercise of judgment and involve complex analysis: depreciation methods and estimated useful lives of property, plant and equipment; measuring recoverability of long-lived assets and equity method investments; amortization methods and estimated useful lives of qualifying intangible assets; methods we employ to measure the fair value of goodwill; revenue recognition policies and use of estimates for revenues and expenses; reserves for environmental matters; and natural gas imbalances.  These estimates are based on our current knowledge and understanding and may change as a result of actions we may take in the future.  Changes in these estimates will occur as a result of the passage of time and the occurrence of future events.  Subsequent changes in these estimates may have a significant impact on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.

In the course of our normal business operations, we are exposed to certain risks, including changes in interest rates, commodity prices and, to a limited extent, foreign exchange rates.  In order to manage risks associated with certain identifiable and anticipated transactions, we use derivative instruments. Derivatives are instruments whose fair value is determined by changes in a specified benchmark such as interest rates, commodity prices or currency values.  Typical derivative instruments include futures, forward contracts, swaps, options and other instruments with similar characteristics.  Substantially all of our derivatives are used for non-trading activities.  See Note 4 of the Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Financial Statements included under Item 1 of this quarterly report for additional information regarding our derivative instruments and hedging activities.

Our exposures to market risk have not changed materially since those reported under Item 7A, “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk,” included in our 2009 Form 10-K.

Interest Rate Derivative Instruments

We utilize interest rate swaps, treasury locks and similar derivative instruments to manage our exposure to changes in the interest rates of certain consolidated debt agreements.  This strategy is a component in controlling our cost of capital associated with such borrowings.
 

The following tables show the effect of hypothetical price movements (a sensitivity analysis) on the estimated fair value (“FV”) of our interest rate swap portfolios at the dates presented (dollars in millions):

On April 27 and in May 2010, we entered into four additional forward starting swaps each with a notional amount of $50.0 million.  The period hedged by these four forward starting swaps is February 2012 through February 2022.

Commodity Derivative Instruments

The prices of natural gas, NGLs, crude oil, refined products and certain petrochemical products are subject to fluctuations in response to changes in supply and demand, market conditions and a variety of additional factors that are beyond our control.  We may use commodity-based derivative instruments such as forward contracts, futures, swaps and options to mitigate such risks.

We assess the risk of our commodity financial instrument portfolios using a sensitivity analysis model.  The sensitivity analysis applied to these portfolios measures the potential income or loss (i.e., the change in fair value of the portfolio) based upon a hypothetical 10% movement in the underlying quoted market prices of the commodity derivative instruments outstanding at the date indicated within the following tables.

Our predominant hedging strategy is to hedge an amount of gross margin associated with the gas processing activities. We achieve this by using physical and financial instruments to lock in the prices of NGL sales and natural gas purchases used for PTR.  This program consists of:

§  
the forward sale of a portion of our expected equity NGL production at fixed prices through December 2010, achieved through the use of forward physical sales and commodity derivative instruments and

§  
the purchase of commodity derivative instruments with a notional amount determined by the amount of natural gas expected to be consumed as PTR in the production of such equity NGL production.

At March 31, 2010, this program had hedged future estimated gross margins (before plant operating expenses) of $322.3 million on 10.5 MMBbls of forecasted NGL forward sales transactions and equivalent PTR volumes extending through December 2010.  At April 26, 2010, this program had hedged future estimated gross margins (before plant operating expenses) of $431.4 million on 14.4 MMBbls of forecasted NGL forward sales transactions and equivalent PTR volumes extending through December 2010.  Our estimates of future gross margins are subject to various business risks, including unforeseen production outages or declines, counterparty risk, or similar events or developments that are outside of our control.

Foreign Currency Derivative Instruments

We are exposed to a nominal amount of foreign currency exchange risk in connection with our NGL marketing activities in Canada.  As a result, we could be adversely affected by fluctuations in currency rates between the U.S. dollar and Canadian dollar.  In order to manage this risk, we may enter into foreign exchange purchase contracts to lock in the exchange rate.  At March 31, 2010, we did not have any foreign currency derivative instruments outstanding.


Item 4.  Controls and Procedures.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report, our management carried out an evaluation, with the participation of our general partner’s CEO (our principal executive officer) and our general partner’s chief financial officer (our principal financial officer) (the “CFO”), of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.


Based on this evaluation, as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report, the CEO and CFO concluded:

(i)  
that our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the CEO and CFO, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure; and

(ii)  
that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) during the first quarter of 2010, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting. 

The certifications of our general partner’s CEO and CFO required under Sections 302 and 906 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 have been included as exhibits to this quarterly report.


PART II.  OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.  Legal Proceedings.

For information on legal proceedings, see Part I, Item 1, Financial Statements, Note 14, “Commitments and Contingencies – Litigation,” of the Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this quarterly report, which is incorporated herein by reference.


Item 1A.  Risk Factors.

Security holders and potential investors in our securities should carefully consider the risk factors set forth in our 2009 Form 10-K and below in addition to other information in such report and in this quarterly report.  We have identified these risk factors as important factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those contained in any written or oral forward-looking statements made by us or on our behalf.

The death of Dan L. Duncan represents a loss of a key member of our senior management team.
 
Although the remainder of our senior management team remains in place and succession planning regarding control of our general partner exists, we cannot predict the effect of the loss of Mr. Duncan at this time and cannot provide any assurances that his loss will not have any effect on our business, results of operations or cash flows.
 

Federal and certain state legislative and regulatory initiatives relating to hydraulic fracturing could result in increased costs and additional operating restrictions or delays incurred by customers in the production of oil and natural gas. A decline caused by these initiatives in the volume of natural gas, NGLs and crude oil delivered to our facilities could adversely affect our financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
 
The U.S. Congress is considering legislation to amend the federal Safe Drinking Water Act to require the disclosure of chemicals used by the oil and natural gas industry in the hydraulic fracturing process.  Hydraulic fracturing is an important and commonly used process in the completion of unconventional oil and natural gas wells in shale and tight sand formations.  Sponsors of these bills, which are currently pending in the Energy and Commerce Committee and the Environmental and Public Works Committee of the House of Representatives and Senate, respectively, have asserted that chemicals used in the fracturing process could adversely affect drinking water supplies.  The proposed legislation would require the reporting and public disclosure of chemicals used in the fracturing process, which could make it easier for third parties opposing the hydraulic fracturing process to initiate legal proceedings based on allegations that specific chemicals used in the fracturing process could adversely affect groundwater.  In addition, these bills, if adopted, could establish additional Federal regulations that could lead to operational delays or increased operating costs in the production of crude oil and natural gas incurred by our customers or could make it more difficult to perform hydraulic fracturing.  If these legislative and regulatory initiatives cause a material decrease in crude oil or natural gas production, our profitability could be materially impacted by a decline in the volume of natural gas, NGLs and crude oil transported, gathered or processed at our facilities.

An extended drilling moratorium for new drilling in the Gulf of Mexico, or any additional regulations that cause delays or deter new drilling, could have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
 
On April 30, 2010, officials in the Obama Administration indicated that Federal agencies would not authorize new offshore drilling in U.S. waters pending review of the oil spill of the Transocean drilling rig on a BP plc property on April 20, 2010.  This announcement states that no additional drilling will be authorized until the administration completes its review of the cause of the blast and determination of whether the blast was unique and preventable.  If this moratorium continues for an extended period, or if the review results in Federal legislation, policy, restrictions or regulations that cause delays or deter new drilling in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico or other areas in which our assets are located, future natural gas and crude oil volumes to our pipelines and facilities may decline or be lower than previously anticipated.  A decline in, or failure to achieve anticipated, volumes due to these reasons may have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
 
 
Item 2.  Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.

As of March 31, 2010, we and our affiliates could repurchase up to 618,400 additional common units under the December 1998 common unit repurchase program.  We did not repurchase any of our common units in connection with this announced program during the three months ended March 31, 2010.
