MVP was formed in September 2017 to construct and develop a refined products marine storage facility along the Houston Ship Channel in Pasadena, Texas. We own a 50% equity interest in MVP, with an affiliate of Valero Energy Corporation (“Valero”) owning the other 50% interest. We serve as construction manager and will serve as operator of the MVP facility. The initial phase of this facility is expected to be operational in early 2019, with the next phase of the project being completed in 2020. Upon formation of MVP, we contributed $97.6 million of property, plant and equipment (“PP&E”) to this entity. Concurrently, Valero contributed cash of $48.8 million, which was distributed to us as reimbursement for Valero’s portion of the PP&E we contributed. The $48.8 million is reflected as distributions in excess of earnings of non-controlled entities on our consolidated statements of cash flows.

We receive fees for management services from BridgeTex, HoustonLink, MVP, Powder Springs, Saddlehorn, Texas Frontera and the pipeline activities of Seabrook, 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 $1.3 million, $4.2 million and $3.6 million, respectively, for the years ended December 31, 2015, 2016 and 2017.

In addition to the transactions noted above, we incurred charges of $14.5 million for transportation of crude oil at published spot tariff rates on the BridgeTex pipeline for the year ended December 31, 2017. We recorded these charges as cost of product sales in our consolidated statements of income.  We also purchased inventory from BridgeTex valued at $6.7 million during 2017.

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. As of December 31, 2017, we had recognized a $0.8 million other current liability and a corresponding increase in our investment in non-controlled entities on our consolidated balance sheets 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 MVP and 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.
