Information Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This report includes forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are identified as any statement that does not relate strictly to historical or current facts. They use words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “intend,” “plan,” “projection,” “forecast,” “strategy,” “position,” “continue,” “estimate,” “expect,” “may,” or the negative of those terms or other variations of them or comparable terminology. In particular, expressed or implied statements concerning future actions, conditions or events, future operating results or the ability to generate sales, income or cash flow or to pay dividends are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of performance. They involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Future actions, conditions or events and future results of operations may differ materially from those expressed in these forward-looking statements. Many of the factors that will determine these results are beyond our ability to control or predict.

See “Information Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” and Part I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 (2016 Form 10-K) for a more detailed description of factors that may affect the forward-looking statements. You should keep these risk factors in mind when considering forward-looking statements. These risk factors could cause our actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statement. Because of these risks and uncertainties, you should not place undue reliance on any forward-looking statement. We plan to provide updates to projections included in this report when we believe previously disclosed projections no longer have a reasonable basis.

KINDER MORGAN, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

1. General

Organization

We are one of the largest energy infrastructure companies in North America. We own an interest in or operate approximately 84,000 miles of pipelines and 155 terminals. Our pipelines transport natural gas, refined petroleum products, crude oil, condensate, CO₂ and other products, and our terminals transload and store petroleum products, ethanol and chemicals, and handle such products as steel, coal and petroleum coke. We are also a leading producer of CO₂, which we and others utilize for enhanced oil recovery projects primarily in the Permian basin.

Basis of Presentation

General

Our reporting currency is U.S. dollars, and all references to dollars are U.S. dollars, unless stated otherwise. Our accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). These rules and regulations conform to the accounting principles contained in the FASB’s Accounting Standards Codification, the single source of GAAP. Under such rules and regulations, all significant intercompany items have been eliminated in consolidation.

In our opinion, all adjustments, which are of a normal and recurring nature, considered necessary for a fair statement of our financial position and operating results for the interim periods have been included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, and certain amounts from prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year; accordingly, you should read these consolidated financial statements in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and related notes included in our 2016 Form 10-K.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include our accounts and the accounts of our subsidiaries over which we have control or are the primary beneficiary. We evaluate our financial interests in business enterprises to determine if they represent variable interest entities where we are the primary beneficiary. If such criteria are met, we consolidate the financial statements of such businesses with those of our own.

Impairments and Losses on Divestitures, net

During the six months ended June 30, 2017, we recorded non-cash pre-tax losses on impairments and divestitures netting to $6 million related to miscellaneous asset disposals. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, we recorded non-cash pre-tax losses on impairments and divestitures netting to $2 million and $257 million, respectively. The six months ended June 30, 2016 included (i) $216 million of project write-offs across our Natural Gas Pipelines, CO₂,and Products Pipelines business segments, of which $20 million was related to our share of impairments recorded by our equity investees; (ii) $20 million of impairments related to certain coal facilities in our Terminals business segment; (iii) $8 million of loss related to the sale of a Transmix facility in our Products Pipelines business segment; and (iv) $13 million of net losses on miscellaneous asset disposals.

In addition, during the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 we recognized a $12 million gain on the sale of an equity investment, which is included in “Gain on impairments and divestitures of equity investments, net” on the accompanying consolidated statements of income.

These impairments were driven by market conditions that existed at the time and require management to estimate fair value of these assets. The impairments resulting from decisions to classify assets as held-for-sale are based on the value expected to be realized in the transaction which is generally known at the time. The estimates of fair value are based on Level 3 valuation estimates using industry standard income approach valuation methodologies which include assumptions primarily involving management’s significant judgments and estimates with respect to general economic conditions and the related demand for products handled or transported by our assets as well as assumptions regarding commodity prices, future cash flows based on rate and volume assumptions, terminal values and discount rates. In certain cases, management’s decisions to dispose of certain assets may trigger impairments. We typically use discounted cash flow analyses to determine the fair value of our assets. We may probability weight various forecasted cash flow scenarios utilized in the analysis as we consider the possible

outcomes. We use discount rates representing our estimate of the risk-adjusted discount rates that would be used by market participants specific to the particular asset.

We may identify additional triggering events requiring future evaluations of the recoverability of the carrying value of our long-lived assets, investments and goodwill. Because certain assets, including some equity investments and oil and gas producing properties, have been recently written down to fair value, any deterioration in fair value relative to our carrying value increases the likelihood of further impairments. Such non-cash impairments could have a significant effect on our results of operations, which would be recognized in the period in which the carrying value is determined to be not fully recoverable.

Goodwill

We evaluate goodwill for impairment on May 31 of each year. For this purpose, we have seven reporting units as follows: (i) Products Pipelines (excluding associated terminals); (ii) Products Pipelines Terminals (evaluated separately from Products Pipelines for goodwill purposes); (iii) Natural Gas Pipelines Regulated; (iv) Natural Gas Pipelines Non-Regulated; (v) CO2; (vi) Terminals; and (vii) Kinder Morgan Canada. The evaluation of goodwill for impairment involves a two-step test.

Step 1 involves comparing the estimated fair value of each respective reporting unit to its carrying value, including goodwill. If the estimated fair value exceeds the carrying value, the reporting unit’s goodwill is not considered impaired. If the carrying value exceeds the estimated fair value, step 2 must be performed to determine whether goodwill is impaired and, if so, the amount of the impairment.

The results of our May 31, 2017 annual impairment test indicated that for each of our reporting units, the reporting unit fair value exceeded the carrying value and step 2 was not required. For our Natural Gas Pipelines - Non-Regulated, the fair value of the reporting unit exceeded the carrying value (including approximately $4 billion of allocated goodwill) by 4%.

The fair value estimates used in the step 1 goodwill test are based on Level 3 inputs of the fair value hierarchy. The level 3 inputs include valuation estimates using industry standard market and income approach valuation methodologies which include assumptions primarily involving management’s significant judgments and estimates with respect to market multiples, comparable sales transactions prices, weighted average costs of capital, general economic conditions and the related demand for products handled or transported by our assets as well as assumptions regarding commodity prices, future cash flows based on rate and volume assumptions, terminal values and discount rates. We use primarily a market approach and, in some instances where deemed necessary, also use discounted cash flow analyses to determine the fair value of our assets. We use discount rates representing our estimate of the risk-adjusted discount rates that would be used by market participants specific to the particular asset.

We expect that the fair value of our Natural Gas Pipelines - Non-Regulated reporting unit will continue to exceed carrying value so long as our estimate of future cash flows and the market valuation remain consistent with current levels. A continued period of volatile commodity prices could result in further deterioration of market multiples, comparable sales transactions prices, weighted average costs of capital, and our cash flow estimates. Changes to any one or combination of these factors, would result in a change to the reporting unit fair values discussed above which could lead to future impairment charges. Such potential impairment could have a material effect on our results of operations.

Earnings per Share

We calculate earnings per share using the two-class method. Earnings were allocated to Class P shares of common stock and participating securities based on the amount of dividends paid in the current period plus an allocation of the undistributed earnings or excess distributions over earnings to the extent that each security participates in earnings or excess distributions over earnings. Our unvested restricted stock awards, which may be stock or stock units issued to management employees and include dividend equivalent payments, do not participate in excess distributions over earnings.

The following table sets forth the allocation of net income available to shareholders of Class P shares and participating securities (in millions):



	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,
	2017		2016		2017		2016
Class P shares	$	336	$	332	$	735	$	607
Participating securities:
Restricted stock awards(a)	1		1		3		2
Net Income Available to Common Stockholders	$	337	$	333	$	738	$	609

________


(a)	As of June 30, 2017, there were approximately 9 million restricted stock awards.

On May 25, 2017, approximately 293 million of warrants expired. In addition, the following maximum number of potential common stock equivalents are antidilutive and, accordingly, are excluded from the determination of diluted earnings per share (in millions on a weighted-average basis):



	Three Months Ended June 30,		Six Months Ended June 30,
	2017	2016	2017	2016
Unvested restricted stock awards	9	8	9	8
Convertible trust preferred securities	3	8	3	8
Mandatory convertible preferred stock(a)	58	58	58	58

_______

(a) Until our mandatory convertible preferred shares are converted to common shares, on or before the expected mandatory conversion date of October 26, 2018, the holder of each preferred share participates in our earnings by receiving preferred dividends.

2. Divestitures

Sale of Approximate 30% Interest in Canadian Business

On May 30, 2017, our indirectly owned subsidiary, KML, completed an IPO of 102,942,000 restricted voting shares on the Toronto Stock Exchange at a price to the public of C$17.00 per restricted voting share for total gross proceeds of approximately C$1,750 million (USD $1,299 million). The net proceeds from the IPO were used by KML to indirectly acquire from us an approximate 30% interest in a limited partnership that holds our Canadian business with KMI retaining the remaining 70% interest. We used the proceeds from KML to pay down debt.

Subsequent to the IPO, we retained control of KML and the limited partnership, and as a result, they remain consolidated in our consolidated financial statements. The public ownership of the KML restricted voting shares is reflected within “Noncontrolling interests” in our consolidated statements of stockholders’ equity and consolidated balance sheets. Earnings attributable to the public ownership of KML are presented in “Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests” in our consolidated statements of income for the periods presented after May 30, 2017.

The net proceeds received of $1,247 million are presented as “Contributions from noncontrolling interests - KML IPO” on our consolidated statement of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2017. Because we retained control of KML subsequent to the IPO, the $316 million adjustment made to “Additional paid-in capital” on our consolidated statement of stockholders equity for the six months ended June 30, 2017 represents the difference between our book value prior to the sale and our share of book value in KML’s net assets after the sale. The impact of the IPO resulted in a $165 million deferred income tax adjustment. $764 million is attributed to the KML public shareholders to reflect their proportionate ownership percentage in the net assets of KML acquired from us and is presented in “Noncontrolling interests” on our consolidated statement of stockholders equity for the six months ended June 30, 2017. The above amounts recorded to “Additional paid-in capital” and “Noncontrolling interests” are net of IPO fees, which includes $2 million accrued at June 30, 2017.

The above amount recorded to “Noncontrolling interests” has been reduced by $81 million primarily associated with the allocation of currency translation adjustments recorded in “Accumulated other comprehensive loss” to “Noncontrolling interests.”

The portion of the Canadian business operations that we sold to the public on May 30, 2017 represented Canadian assets that are included in our Kinder Morgan Canada, Terminals and Product Pipelines business segments and include (i) the Trans

Mountain pipeline system; (ii) the Canadian Cochin pipeline system; (iii) the Puget Sound pipeline system; (iv) the Jet Fuel pipeline system; and (v) terminal facilities located in Western Canada.

Kinder Morgan Canada Limited Partnership

In conjunction with the IPO, Kinder Morgan Canada Limited Partnership (KMC LP) and Kinder Morgan Canada GP Inc. (KMC GP) were formed to hold our Canadian business. We have determined that KMC LP is a variable interest entity because a simple majority or lower threshold of the limited partnership interests do not possess substantive “kick-out rights” (i.e., the right to remove the general partner or to dissolve (liquidate) the entity without cause) or substantive participation rights. We have also determined KMC GP is the primary beneficiary because it has the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact KMC LP’s performance, the right to receive benefits and the obligation to absorb losses, that could be significant to KMC LP. As a result, KMC GP consolidates KMC LP. KMC GP is a wholly-owned subsidiary of KML, which is indirectly controlled by us through our 100% interest in KML’s special voting shares that represent approximately 70% of KML’s total voting shares (comprised of restricted voting shares and special voting shares). Consequently, we consolidate KML and the variable interest entity, KMC LP, in our consolidated financial statements.

The following table shows the carrying amount and classification of KMC LP’s assets and liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets (in millions):



	June 30, 2017
Assets
Total current assets	$	235
Property, plant and equipment, net	2,580
Total goodwill, deferred charges and other assets	298
Total assets	$	3,113
Liabilities
Total current liabilities	$	366
Long-term debt, excluding current maturities	—
Total other long-term liabilities and deferred credits	371
Total liabilities	$	737

We receive distributions from KMC LP through our indirectly owned limited partnership interests in KMC LP, but otherwise the assets of KMC LP cannot be used to settle our obligations. Our subsidiaries that are the direct owners of our limited partnership interests in KMC LP have guaranteed the obligations of KMC LP’s wholly owned subsidiaries, Kinder Morgan Cochin ULC and Trans Mountain Pipeline ULC, under the Credit Facility (see Note 3), but recourse in respect of such guarantee is limited solely to the limited partnership interests of KMC LP held by such subsidiaries and any proceeds thereof. Additionally, in connection with the Credit Facility, we entered into an Equity Nomination and Support Agreement whereby, among other things, we commit to contribute or cause to be contributed at the time of each drawdown on the construction credit facility or the contingent credit facility either equity or subordinated debt to Kinder Morgan Cochin ULC in an amount sufficient to cause the outstanding indebtedness under the credit facilities and any other funded debt for the Trans Mountain expansion project not to exceed 60% of the total project costs for the project as projected over the six month period following the date of such drawdown. Other than such guarantees and the Equity Nomination and Support Agreement, we do not guarantee the debt, commercial paper or other similar commitments of KMC LP or any of its subsidiaries, and the obligations of KMC LP may only be settled using the assets of KMC LP. KMC LP does not guarantee the debt or other similar commitments of KMI.

Sale of Interest in Elba Liquefaction Company L.L.C. (ELC)

Effective February 28, 2017, we sold a 49% partnership interest in ELC to investment funds managed by EIG Global Energy Partners (EIG). We continue to own a 51% controlling interest in and operate ELC. Under the terms of ELC’s limited liability company agreement, we are responsible for placing in service and operating certain supply pipelines and terminal facilities that support the operations of ELC and which are wholly owned by us. In certain limited circumstances which are not expected to occur, EIG has the right to relinquish its interest in ELC and redeem its capital account.

As a result of these contingencies, the sale proceeds of $386 million, and subsequent EIG contributions, have been recorded as a deferred credit within “Other long-term liabilities and deferred credits” on our consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2017. EIG is not entitled to any specified return on its capital. Once these contingencies expire, EIG’s capital account will be reflected as noncontrolling interest on our consolidated balance sheet.

3. Debt

We classify our debt based on the contractual maturity dates of the underlying debt instruments. We defer costs associated with debt issuance over the applicable term. These costs are then amortized as interest expense in our accompanying consolidated statements of income.

The following table provides detail on the principal amount of our outstanding debt balances. The table amounts exclude all debt fair value adjustments, including debt discounts, premiums and issuance costs (in millions):



	June 30, 2017		December 31, 2016

_______

(a)

Amount includes senior notes that are denominated in Euros and have been converted to U.S. dollars and are respectively reported above at the June 30, 2017 exchange rate of 1.1426 U.S. dollars per Euro and the December 31, 2016 exchange rate of 1.0517 U.S. dollars per Euro. For the six months ended June 30, 2017, our debt balance increased by $114 million as a result of the change in the exchange rate of U.S. dollars per Euro. The increase in debt due to the changes in exchange rates is offset by a corresponding change in the value of cross-currency swaps reflected in “Deferred charges and other assets” and “ Other long-term liabilities and deferred credits” on our consolidated balance sheets. At the time of issuance, we entered into cross-currency swap agreements associated with these senior notes, effectively converting these Euro-denominated senior notes to U.S. dollars (see Note 5 “Risk Management—Foreign Currency Risk Management”). In June, 2017, we repaid $786 million of maturing 7.00% senior notes.


(b)	The credit facility is denominated in C$ and has been converted to U.S. dollars and reported above at the June 30, 2017 exchange rate of 0.7706 U.S. dollars per C$. See “—Credit Facilities” below.


(c)	In February 2017, we repaid $600 million of maturing 6.00% senior notes.


(d)	In April 2017, we repaid $300 million of maturing 7.50% senior notes.


(e)	In April 2017, we repaid $355 million of maturing 5.95% senior notes.

(f)

The Trust I Preferred Securities are convertible at any time prior to the close of business on March 31, 2028, at the option of the holder. Prior to May 25, 2017, conversions of these securities were converted into the following mixed consideration: (i) 0.7197 of a share of our Class P common stock; (ii) $25.18 in cash without interest; and (iii) 1.100 warrants to purchase a share of our Class P common stock. Our warrants expired on May 25, 2017, along with conversion of 1.100 warrants to purchase a share of our Class P common mixed consideration.


(g)	Amounts include outstanding credit facility borrowings, commercial paper borrowings and other debt maturing within 12 months (see “—Current Portion of Debt” below).


(h)	Excludes our “Debt fair value adjustments” which, as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, increased our combined debt balances by $1,100 million and $1,149 million, respectively. In addition to all unamortized debt discount/premium amounts, debt issuance costs

and purchase accounting on our debt balances, our debt fair value adjustments also include amounts associated with the offsetting entry for hedged debt and any unamortized portion of proceeds received from the early termination of interest rate swap agreements.

We and substantially all of our wholly owned domestic subsidiaries are a party to a cross guarantee agreement whereby each party to the agreement unconditionally guarantees, jointly and severally, the payment of specified indebtedness of each other party to the agreement. Also, see Note 11.

Credit Facilities

As of June 30, 2017, we had $4,774 million available under our $5.0 billion revolving credit agreement, which is net of $111 million in letters of credit. Borrowings under our revolving credit facility can be used for working capital and other general corporate purposes and as a backup to our commercial paper program. Borrowings under our commercial paper program reduce the borrowings allowed under our credit facility.

On June 16, 2017, Kinder Morgan Cochin ULC and Trans Mountain Pipeline ULC, our indirect subsidiaries of KML, entered into a definitive credit agreement establishing (i) a C$4.0 billion revolving construction facility for the purposes of funding the development, construction and completion of the Trans Mountain expansion project, (ii) a C$1.0 billion revolving contingent credit facility for the purpose of funding, if necessary, additional Trans Mountain expansion project costs (and, subject to the need to fund such additional costs, meeting the Canadian National Energy Board-mandated liquidity requirements) and (iii) a C$500 million revolving working capital facility, to be used for working capital and other general corporate purposes (collectively, the “Credit Facility”). The Credit Facility has a five year term and is with a syndicate of financial institutions with Royal Bank of Canada as the administrative agent. Any undrawn commitments under the Credit Facility will incur a standby fee of 0.30% to 0.625%, with the range dependent on the credit ratings of Kinder Morgan Cochin ULC or KML. The Credit Facility is guaranteed by KML and all of the non-borrower subsidiaries of KML and are secured by a first lien security interest on all of the assets of KML and the equity and assets of the other guarantors.

Draw down of funds on the Credit Facility bear interest dependent on the type of loans requested and are as follows:


•	bankers’ acceptances or London Interbank Offered Rate loans are at an annual rate of approximately CDOR or the London Interbank Offered Rate, as the case may be, plus a fixed spread ranging from 1.50% to 2.50%;


•	loans in Canadian dollars or U.S. dollars are at an annual rate of approximately the Canadian prime rate or the U.S. dollar base rate, as the case may be, plus a fixed spread ranging from 0.50% to 1.50%, in each case, with the range dependent on the credit ratings of the Company;


•	letters of credit (under working capital facility only) will have issuance fees based on an annual rate of approximately CDOR plus a fixed spread ranging from 1.50% to 2.50%, with the range dependent on the credit ratings of the Company.

The foregoing rates and fees will increase by 0.25% upon the fourth anniversary of the Credit Facility.

Our Credit Facility includes various financial and other covenants including:


•	a maximum ratio of consolidated total funded debt to consolidated capitalization of 70%;


•	restrictions on ability to incur debt;


•	restrictions on ability to make dispositions, restricted payments and investments;


•	restrictions on granting liens and on sale-leaseback transactions;


•	restrictions on ability to engage in transactions with affiliates; and


•	restrictions on ability to amend organizational documents and engage in corporate reorganization transactions.

As of June 30, 2017, we were in compliance with all required covenants. As of June 30, 2017, we had $126.9 million (C$164.7 million) outstanding on our construction facility and $18.9 million (C$24.5 million) outstanding on our working capital facility, both included in “Current portion of debt” on our consolidated balance sheet. For the six months ended June 30, 2017, we incurred $0.5 million in standby fees.

Current Portion of Debt

Our current portion of debt as of June 30, 2017, primarily includes the following significant series of long-term notes maturing within the next 12 months:

Senior notes - $500 million 2.00% notes due December 2017

Kinder Morgan Finance Company, LLC, senior notes - $750 million 6.00% notes due January 2018

Senior notes - $82 million 7.00% notes due February 2018

KMP senior notes - $975 million 5.95% notes due February 2018

Senior notes - $477 million 7.25% notes due June 2018

4. Stockholders’ Equity

Common Equity

As of June 30, 2017, our common equity consisted of our Class P common stock. For additional information regarding our Class P common stock, see Note 11 to our consolidated financial statements included in our 2016 Form 10-K.

KMI Common Dividends

Holders of our common stock participate in any dividend declared by our board of directors, subject to the rights of the holders of any outstanding preferred stock. Our per share dividends declared for and paid in the six months periods ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 were $0.250 per share. On July 19, 2017, our board of directors declared a cash dividend of $0.125 per common share for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2017, which is payable on August 15, 2017 to common shareholders of record as of July 31, 2017.

Warrants

On May 25, 2017, 293 million of unexercised warrants to buy KMI common stock expired. Prior to expiration, each of the warrants entitled the holder to purchase one share of our common stock for an exercise price of $40 per share, payable in cash or by cashless exercise.

Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock

We have issued and outstanding 1,600,000 shares of 9.750% Series A mandatory convertible preferred stock, with a liquidating preference of $1,000 per share. For additional information regarding our mandatory convertible preferred stock, see Note 11 to our consolidated financial statements included in our 2016 Form 10-K.

Preferred Dividends

On April 19, 2017, our board of directors declared a cash dividend of $24.375 per share of our mandatory convertible preferred stock (equivalent of $1.21875 per depositary share) for the period from and including April 26, 2017 through and including July 25, 2017, which is payable on July 26, 2017 to mandatory convertible preferred shareholders of record as of July 11, 2017.

Noncontrolling Interests

KML Restricted Voting Shares

As discussed in Note 2, on May 30, 2017 our indirect subsidiary, KML, issued 102,942,000 restricted voting shares in a public offering. The public ownership of the KML restricted voting shares represents an approximate 30% interest in our Canadian operations and is reflected within “Noncontrolling interests” in our consolidated financial statements as of and for the periods presented after May 30, 2017.

On July 19, 2017, KML’s board of directors declared a prorated dividend for the first quarter of C$0.0571 per restricted voting share, payable on August 15, 2017, to restricted voting shareholders of record as of July 31, 2017. The initial dividend is prorated from May 30, 2017, the day that KML closed its offering, to June 30, 2017. Based on a full quarter, the dividend amounts to C$0.1625 per restricted voting share (C$0.65 annualized). The total KML dividend declared for the three months ended June 30, 2017 amounted to approximately C$5.9 million.

5. Risk Management

Certain of our business activities expose us to risks associated with unfavorable changes in the market price of natural gas, NGL and crude oil. We also have exposure to interest rate and foreign currency risk as a result of the issuance of our debt obligations. Pursuant to our management’s approved risk management policy, we use derivative contracts to hedge or reduce our exposure to some of these risks. In addition, prior to May 2016, we had legacy power forward and swap contracts related to operations of acquired businesses.

Energy Commodity Price Risk Management

As of June 30, 2017, we had the following outstanding commodity forward contracts to hedge our forecasted energy commodity purchases and sales:



	Net open position long/(short)
Derivatives designated as hedging contracts
Crude oil fixed price	(20.1	)	MMBbl
Crude oil basis	(2.7	)	MMBbl
Natural gas fixed price	(54.9	)	Bcf
Natural gas basis	(27.0	)	Bcf
Derivatives not designated as hedging contracts
Crude oil fixed price	(0.9	)	MMBbl
Crude oil basis	(0.5	)	MMBbl
Natural gas fixed price	4.6		Bcf
Natural gas basis	(39.0	)	Bcf
NGL and other fixed price	(6.1	)	MMBbl

As of June 30, 2017, the maximum length of time over which we have hedged, for accounting purposes, our exposure to the variability in future cash flows associated with energy commodity price risk is through December 2021.

Interest Rate Risk Management

As of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, we had a combined notional principal amount of $9,575 million and $9,775 million, respectively, of fixed-to-variable interest rate swap agreements, all of which were designated as fair value hedges. All of our swap agreements effectively convert the interest expense associated with certain series of senior notes from fixed rates to variable rates based on an interest rate of London Interbank Offered Rate plus a spread and have termination dates that correspond to the maturity dates of the related series of senior notes. As of June 30, 2017, the maximum length of time over which we have hedged a portion of our exposure to the variability in the value of this debt due to interest rate risk is through March 15, 2035.

Foreign Currency Risk Management

As of June 30, 2017, we had a notional principal amount of $1,358 million of cross-currency swap agreements to manage the foreign currency risk related to our Euro denominated senior notes by effectively converting all of the fixed-rate Euro denominated debt, including annual interest payments and the payment of principal at maturity, to U.S. dollar denominated debt at fixed rates equivalent to approximately 3.79% and 4.67% for the 7-year and 12-year senior notes, respectively. These cross-currency swaps are accounted for as cash flow hedges. The terms of the cross-currency swap agreements correspond to the related hedged senior notes, and such agreements have the same maturities as the hedged senior notes.

Fair Value of Derivative Contracts

The following table summarizes the fair values of our derivative contracts included in our accompanying consolidated balance sheets (in millions):



Fair Value of Derivative Contracts

We expect to reclassify an approximate $60 million gain associated with cash flow hedge price risk management activities included in our accumulated other comprehensive loss balances as of June 30, 2017 into earnings during the next twelve months (when the associated forecasted transactions are also expected to occur), however, actual amounts reclassified into earnings could vary materially as a result of changes in market prices.


(b)	Amounts reclassified were the result of the hedged forecasted transactions actually affecting earnings (i.e., when the forecasted sales and purchases actually occurred).


(c)	Amounts represent our share of an equity investee’s accumulated other comprehensive loss.

(a) Three and six months ended June 30, 2017 includes approximate gains of $17 million and $29 million, respectively, associated with natural gas, crude and NGL derivative contract settlements. Three and six months ended June 30, 2016 includes approximate gains of $20 million and $39 million, respectively, associated with natural gas, crude and NGL derivative contract settlements.

Credit Risks

In conjunction with certain derivative contracts, we are required to provide collateral to our counterparties, which may include posting letters of credit or placing cash in margin accounts. As of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, we had no outstanding letters of credit supporting our commodity price risk management program. As of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, we had cash margins of $7 million and $37 million, respectively, posted by us with our counterparties as collateral and no amounts posted by our counterparties as collateral. The balance at June 30, 2017, consisted of initial margin requirements of $14 million, offset by variation margin requirements of $7 million. We also use industry standard commercial agreements which allow for the netting of exposures associated with transactions executed under a single commercial agreement. Additionally, we generally utilize master netting agreements to offset credit exposure across multiple commercial agreements with a single counterparty.

We also have agreements with certain counterparties to our derivative contracts that contain provisions requiring the posting of additional collateral upon a decrease in our credit rating. As of June 30, 2017, based on our current mark to market positions and posted collateral, we estimate that if our credit rating were downgraded one or two notches we would not be required to post additional collateral.

Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss

Cumulative revenues, expenses, gains and losses that under GAAP are included within our comprehensive income but excluded from our earnings are reported as “Accumulated other comprehensive loss” within “Stockholders’ Equity” in our consolidated balance sheets. Changes in the components of our “Accumulated other comprehensive loss” not including non-controlling interests are summarized as follows (in millions):



	Net unrealized gains/(losses) on cash flow hedge derivatives			Foreign currency translation adjustments			Pension and other postretirement liability adjustments			Total accumulated other comprehensive loss
Balance as of December 31, 2016	$	(1	)	$	(288	)	$	(372	)	$	(661	)

6. Fair Value

The fair values of our financial instruments are separated into three broad levels (Levels 1, 2 and 3) based on our assessment of the availability of observable market data and the significance of non-observable data used to determine fair value. Each fair value measurement must be assigned to a level corresponding to the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.

The three broad levels of inputs defined by the fair value hierarchy are as follows:


•	Level 1 Inputs—quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date;


•	Level 2 Inputs—inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. If the asset or liability has a specified (contractual) term, a Level 2 input must be observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability; and


•	Level 3 Inputs—unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. These unobservable inputs reflect the entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, and are developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (which might include the reporting entity’s own data).

Fair Value of Derivative Contracts

The following two tables summarize the fair value measurements of our (i) energy commodity derivative contracts; (ii) interest rate swap agreements; and (iii) cross-currency swap agreements, based on the three levels established by the Codification (in millions). The tables also identify the impact of derivative contracts which we have elected to present on our accompanying consolidated balance sheets on a gross basis that are eligible for netting under master netting agreements.
