Antonia sells TRGP 51.52: Higher operating expenses were primarily driven by the inclusion of TPL operating expenses.

Badlands crude oil and natural gas volumes increased significantly due to producer activities and system expansion. Higher natural gas and NGL sales reflect similar factors. The second quarter of 2015 also benefited from the start-up of commercial operations in May 2014 at the Longhorn Plant in North Texas, in June 2014 at the High Plains Plant in SAOU and in January 2015 at the Little Missouri 3 plant in Badlands. The financial results of the Partnership's commodity hedging activities are reported in Other. For all operating statistics presented, the numerator is the total volume or sales during the applicable reporting period and the denominator is the number of calendar days during the applicable reporting period.
