We serve as operator of BridgeTex, HoustonLink, Powder Springs, Saddlehorn, Texas Frontera and the pipeline activities of Seabrook. We receive fees for management services as well as reimbursement or payment to us for certain direct operational payroll and other overhead costs. The management fees we have received are reported as affiliate management fee revenue on our consolidated statements of income. Cost reimbursements we receive from these entities in connection with our operating services are included as reductions to costs and expenses on our consolidated statements of income and totaled $1.0 million and $1.4 million during the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2017, respectively, and $1.5 million and $2.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2017, respectively.

In addition to the transactions noted above, we incurred charges of $3.9 million for transportation of crude oil at published spot tariff rates on the BridgeTex pipeline during the three months ended June 30, 2017. We recorded these charges as cost of product sales in our consolidated statements of income.  We recognized an affiliate payable to BridgeTex on our consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2017 in the amount of $1.9 million in connection with this activity.

In January 2017, we entered into an agreement to guarantee our 50% pro rata share, up to $50.0 million, of obligations under Powder Springs’ credit facility. At June 30, 2017, we recognized a $0.8 million other current liability and a corresponding increase in our investment in non-controlled entities on our consolidated balance sheet to reflect the fair value of this guarantee.

In February 2016, we transferred a 50% membership interest in Osage Pipe Line Company, LLC (“Osage”) to an affiliate of HollyFrontier Corporation. In conjunction with this transaction, we entered into several commercial agreements with affiliates of HollyFrontier Corporation, which we recorded at that time as a $43.7 million intangible asset and an $8.3 million other receivable on our consolidated balance sheets. The intangible asset will be amortized over the 20-year life of the contracts received. We recognized a $28.1 million non-cash gain in 2016 in relation to this transaction.

The financial results from Texas Frontera are included in our marine storage segment, the financial results from BridgeTex, Double Eagle, HoustonLink, Osage, Saddlehorn and Seabrook are included in our crude oil segment and the financial results from Powder Springs are included in our refined products segment, each as earnings of non-controlled entities.
