Equity Method Investments

As of December 31, 2021, our equity method investment consists of our interest in Midship Holdings, LLC (“Midship Holdings”), which manages the business and affairs of Midship Pipeline Company, LLC (“Midship Pipeline”). Midship Pipeline is currently operating an approximately 200-mile natural gas pipeline project (the “Midship Project”) that connects production in the Anadarko Basin to Gulf Coast markets. The Midship Project commenced operations in April 2020.

During the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, we recognized other-than-temporary impairment losses of $37 million and $129 million, respectively, related to our investment in Midship Holdings. Impairment during the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 was precipitated primarily due to declining market conditions in the energy industry and customer credit risk, resulting in a reduction in the fair value of our equity interests. During the year ended December 31, 2019, we recognized losses of $87 million related to our investments in certain equity method investees, including Midship Holdings. Impairments during the year ended December 31, 2019 were primarily the result of cost overruns and extended construction timelines for operating infrastructure of our investees’ projects, resulting in a reduction of the fair value of our equity interests.
The fair values of our equity interests were measured using an income approach, which utilized level 3 fair value inputs such as projected earnings and discount rates, and/or market approach. Impairment losses associated with our equity method investments are presented in other expense, net.

Our investment in Midship Holdings, net of impairment losses, was $56 million and $80 million as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
