16. Commitments and Contingent Liabilities

Note 16. Commitments and Contingent Liabilities

Litigation

As part of our normal business activities, we may be named as defendants in legal proceedings, including those arising from 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 fully indemnify us against losses arising from future legal proceedings. We will vigorously defend the Partnership in litigation matters.

There were no material accruals for litigation contingencies at September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.

Contractual Obligations

Scheduled Maturities of Debt

We have long-term and short-term payment obligations under debt agreements. In total, the principal amount of our consolidated debt obligations were $33.7 billion and $34.7 billion at September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. See Note 7 for additional information regarding our scheduled future maturities of debt principal.

Lease Accounting Matters

In June 2026, we modified certain compressor lease agreements and extended the lease terms. The agreements include annual termination options for a defined portion of the leased compressors and multi-year renewal options. These options were excluded from the measurement of the related lease liabilities and right-of-use (“ROU”) assets because their exercise was not reasonably certain. The agreements contain a lease component related to the use of compression equipment and non-lease components for maintenance and other services. For compressor leases, we separate the lease and non-lease components, and the contract consideration attributable to the non-lease service components was estimated using observable market information for comparable services. At the modification date, we recognized incremental operating lease liabilities of approximately $345 million and finance lease liabilities of approximately $177 million, together with corresponding ROU assets. Prior to the modifications, these arrangements were primarily accounted for as short-term leases due to their contractual terms of 12 months or less.

The following table presents information regarding operating and finance leases where we are the lessee at September 30, 2026:

Balance Sheet Location

Weighted-average remaining term7 years
Weighted-average discount rate (1)5.0%

(1)The discount rate for each category of assets represents the weighted average of either (i) the implicit rate applicable to the underlying leases (where determinable) or (ii) our incremental borrowing rate adjusted for collateralization (if the implicit rate is not determinable). In general, the discount rates are based on either information available at the lease commencement date or January 1, 2019 for leases existing at the adoption date for ASC 842, Leases.

Purchase Obligations

We have contractual future product purchase commitments for NGLs and crude oil representing enforceable and legally binding agreements as of the reporting date. In the ordinary course of business, we fulfill product purchase commitments with our third party suppliers. Outside of changes related to the ordinary course of business, our consolidated product purchase commitments at September 30, 2026 did not differ materially from those reported in our 2025 Form 10-K.
