· Earnings call transcript and AI-powered summary

Financial Performance

Segment Results (Year-over-Year Comparison)

  • Midstream: EBITDA increased to $816 million from $631 million, supported by higher Permian/Eagle Ford volumes, Crestwood and WTG acquisitions, and $70 million one-time insurance proceeds.
  • Crude Oil: EBITDA increased to $768 million from $706 million due to record transportation throughput, 49 percent higher crude exports, and contributions from Crestwood/WTG.
  • Interstate Natural Gas: EBITDA fell to $460 million from $491 million due to lower IT utilization and a one-time expense benefit in Q3 2023.
