(a)
The Company accounts for its investment in EFS Midstream LLC ("EFS Midstream") using the equity method. EFS Midstream is providing gathering, treating and transportation services for the Company during a 20-year contractual term.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, these net margins included $125 million and $321 million of gross vertical integration revenues, respectively, and $127 million and $330 million of total vertical integration costs and expenses, respectively. For the same periods in 2013, these net margins included $103 million and $206 million of gross vertical integration revenues, respectively, and $101 million and $221 million of total vertical integration costs and expenses, respectively.
