In September 2018, we sold a 20% interest in BridgeTex to an affiliate of OMERS Infrastructure Management, Inc. (“OMERS”), which reduced our ongoing investment in BridgeTex to a 30% interest. We received $578.5 million in cash from the sale, and we recorded a gain of $353.8 million on our consolidated statements of income. See Note 9 – Commitments and Contingencies for details regarding our indemnity to OMERS that was recorded in relation to the sale.

We serve as operator of BridgeTex, HoustonLink, MVP, 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 $0.7 million and $0.9 million during the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2018, respectively, and $3.1 million and $2.6 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2018, respectively.
