ANADARKO PETROLEUM CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)


1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

General  Anadarko Petroleum Corporation is engaged in the exploration, development, production, and sale of oil, natural gas, and NGLs and in advancing its Mozambique LNG project toward FID. In addition, the Company engages in gathering, compressing, treating, processing, and transporting of natural gas; gathering, stabilizing, and transporting of oil and NGLs; and gathering and disposing of produced water. The Company also participates in the hard-minerals business through royalty arrangements.

Basis of Presentation  The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, certain notes and other information have been condensed or omitted. The accompanying interim financial statements reflect all normal recurring adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for the fair presentation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Certain prior-period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current-period presentation. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017.
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Anadarko and subsidiaries in which Anadarko holds, directly or indirectly, more than 50% of the voting rights and VIEs for which Anadarko is the primary beneficiary. The Company has determined that WGP and WES are VIEs. Anadarko is considered the primary beneficiary and consolidates WGP and WES. WGP and WES function with capital structures that are separate from Anadarko, consisting of their own debt instruments and publicly traded common units. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated. Undivided interests in oil and natural-gas exploration and production joint ventures are consolidated on a proportionate basis. Investments in noncontrolled entities that Anadarko has the ability to exercise significant influence over operating and financial policies and VIEs for which Anadarko is not the primary beneficiary are accounted for using the equity method. In applying the equity method of accounting, the investments are initially recognized at cost and subsequently adjusted for the Company’s proportionate share of earnings, losses, and distributions. Investments are included in other assets.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards  ASU 2017-07, Compensation—Retirement Benefits (Topic 715): Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost, requires presentation of service cost in the same line item(s) as other compensation costs arising from services rendered by employees during the period and presentation of the remaining components of net benefit cost in a separate line item outside operating items. Additionally, only the service cost component of net benefit cost will be eligible for capitalization. The Company adopted this ASU on January 1, 2018, with retrospective presentation of the service cost component and the other components of net benefit cost in the income statement and prospective presentation for the capitalization of the service cost component of net benefit cost in assets. Upon adoption, non-service cost components of net periodic benefit costs of $107 million for 2017, including $69 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017, were reclassified to other (income) expense, net, from G&A; oil and gas operating; gathering, processing, and marketing; and exploration expense.
ASU 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash, requires an entity to explain the changes in the total of cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash, and restricted cash equivalents on the statement of cash flows and to provide a reconciliation of the totals in that statement to the related captions in the balance sheet when the cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash, and restricted cash equivalents are presented in more than one line item on the balance sheet. The Company adopted this ASU using a retrospective approach on January 1, 2018. Adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. See Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows and Note 17—Supplemental Cash Flow Information for additional information.

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), supersedes the revenue recognition requirements and industry-specific guidance under Revenue Recognition (Topic 605). Topic 606 requires an entity to recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. The Company adopted Topic 606 on January 1, 2018, using the modified retrospective method applied to contracts that were not completed as of January 1, 2018. Under the modified retrospective method, prior-period financial positions and results will not be adjusted. The cumulative effect adjustment recognized in the opening balances included a reduction to total equity of $47 million. While the Company does not expect 2018 net earnings to be materially impacted by revenue recognition timing changes, Topic 606 requires certain changes to the presentation of revenues and related expenses beginning January 1, 2018. See Note 2—Revenue from Contracts with Customers for additional information. The Company’s revenue recognition accounting policy effective January 1, 2018, is detailed below.
Exploration and Production—The Company’s oil is sold primarily to marketers, gatherers, and refiners. Natural gas is sold primarily to interstate and intrastate natural-gas pipelines, direct end-users, industrial users, local distribution companies, and natural-gas marketers. NGLs are sold primarily to direct end-users, refiners, and marketers. Payment is generally received from the customer in the month following delivery.
Contracts with customers have varying terms, including spot sales or month-to-month contracts, contracts with a finite term, and life-of-field contracts where all production from a well or group of wells is sold to one or more customers. The Company recognizes sales revenues for oil, natural gas, and NGLs based on the amount of each product sold to a customer when control transfers to the customer. Generally, control transfers at the time of delivery to the customer at a pipeline interconnect, the tailgate of a processing facility, or as a tanker lifting is completed. Revenue is measured based on the contract price, which may be index-based or fixed, and may include adjustments for market differentials and downstream costs incurred by the customer, including gathering, transportation, and fuel costs. For natural gas and NGLs sold on our behalf by a processor, revenue is typically measured based on the price the processor receives for the sale, less certain costs withheld by the processor.
Revenues are recognized for the sale of Anadarko’s net share of production volumes. Sales on behalf of other working interest owners and royalty interest owners are not recognized as revenues.
The Company enters into buy/sell arrangements related to the transportation of a portion of its oil production. Under these arrangements, barrels are sold to a third party at a location-based contract price and subsequently repurchased by the Company at a downstream location. The difference in value between the sale and purchase price represents the transportation fee to move oil from the lease or certain gathering locations to more liquid markets. These arrangements are often required by private transporters. These buy/sell transactions are recorded net in oil and gas transportation expense in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income.

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

WES Midstream and Other Midstream—Anadarko provides gathering, compressing, treating, processing, stabilizing, transporting, and disposal services pursuant to a variety of contracts. Under these arrangements, the Company receives fees and/or retains a percentage of products or a percentage of the proceeds from the sale of the customer’s products. These revenues are included in gathering, processing, and marketing sales in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income. Payment is generally received from the customer in the month of service or the month following the service. Contracts with customers generally have initial terms ranging from 5 to 10 years.
Revenue is recognized for fee-based gathering and processing services in the month of service based on the volumes delivered by the customer. Revenues are valued based on the rate in effect for the month of service when the fee is either the same rate per unit over the contract term or when the fee escalates and the escalation factor approximates inflation. The Company may charge additional service fees to customers for a portion of the contract term (i.e., for the first year of a contract or until reaching a volume threshold) due to the significant upfront capital investment. These fees are recognized as revenue over the expected period of customer benefit, generally the life of the related properties. Deficiency fees, which are charged to the customer if they do not meet minimum delivery requirements, are recognized over the performance period based on an estimate of the deficiency fees that will be billed upon completion of the performance period.
The Company’s midstream business also purchases natural-gas volumes from producers at the wellhead or production facility, typically at an index price, and charges the producer fees associated with the downstream gathering and processing services. These fees are treated as a reduction of the purchase cost when the fees relate to services performed after control of the product has transferred to Anadarko. Revenue is recognized, along with cost of product expense related to the sale, when the purchased product is sold to a third party.
Revenue from percentage of proceeds gathering and processing contracts is recognized net of the cost of product for purchases from service customers when the Company is acting as their agent in the product sale, and any fees charged on these percentage of proceeds contracts are recognized in service revenues.
ASU 2018-02, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income, provides entities the option to reclassify stranded tax effects resulting from the Tax Reform Legislation from accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI) to retained earnings. In accordance with its accounting policy, the Company releases stranded income tax effects from AOCI in the period the underlying portfolio is liquidated. This ASU allows for the reclassification of stranded tax effects as a result of the change in tax rates from Tax Reform Legislation to be recorded upon adoption of the ASU, rather than at the actual portfolio liquidation date. The Company adopted this ASU on January 1, 2018, electing to reclassify $73 million from AOCI to retained earnings, including a $2 million federal benefit of state tax impact related to the Tax Reform Legislation.

New Accounting Standards Issued But Not Yet Adopted  ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), requires lessees to recognize a lease liability and a right-of-use (ROU) asset for all leases, including operating leases, with a term greater than 12 months on the balance sheet. This ASU modifies the definition of a lease and outlines the recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of leasing arrangements by both lessees and lessors. The Company plans to make certain elections allowing the Company not to reassess contracts that commenced prior to adoption, to continue applying its current accounting policy for land easements, and not to recognize ROU assets or lease liabilities for short-term leases. Anadarko continues to review contracts in its portfolio of leased assets to assess the impact of adopting this ASU. The Company expects the adoption of this ASU to primarily impact other assets and other liabilities and does not expect a material impact on its consolidated results of operations. To facilitate compliance with this ASU, Anadarko is implementing new accounting software and continuing to evaluate its systems, processes, and internal controls during 2018. Anadarko will adopt this ASU on January 1, 2019. As permitted by ASU 2018-11, Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements, the Company does not expect to adjust comparative-period financial statements.

2. Revenue from Contracts with Customers

Change in Accounting Policy  The Company adopted ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), on January 1, 2018, using the modified retrospective method applied to contracts that were not completed as of January 1, 2018. See Note 1—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies for additional information.

Impacts on Financial Statements

Exploration and Production There were no significant changes to the timing or valuation of revenue recognized for sales of production by the Exploration and Production segment.

WES Midstream and Other Midstream Gathering and processing revenues decreased for contracts where the Company is acting as an agent for its processing customer in the sale of processed volumes and increased for contracts with noncash consideration, with an offset to gathering and processing expense upon product sale. The magnitude of these presentation changes in subsequent periods is dependent on future customer volumes subject to the impacted contracts and commodity prices for those volumes. These presentation changes do not impact net earnings.

Transaction Price Allocated to Remaining Performance Obligations Revenue expected to be recognized from certain performance obligations that are unsatisfied as of June 30, 2018, is reflected in the table below. The Company applies the optional exemptions in Topic 606 and does not disclose consideration for remaining performance obligations with an original expected duration of one year or less or for variable consideration related to unsatisfied performance obligations. Therefore, the following table represents only a small portion of Anadarko’s expected future consolidated revenues as future revenue from the sale of most products and services is dependent on future production or variable customer volumes and variable commodity prices for those volumes.

Includes the $126 million gain related to the 2017 property exchange discussed below.

2018 During the six months ended June 30, 2018, the Company divested of the following U.S. onshore and Gulf of Mexico assets:
Alaska nonoperated assets, included in the Exploration and Production and Other Midstream reporting segments, for net proceeds of $383 million and net losses of $37 million in 2018 and $154 million in the fourth quarter of 2017. During the second quarter of 2018, all necessary regulatory approvals were obtained and finalized for this transaction.
Ram Powell nonoperated assets in the Gulf of Mexico, included in the Exploration and Production reporting segment, resulting in a net gain of $67 million.

2017 During the six months ended June 30, 2017, the Company divested of the following U.S. onshore assets:
Eagleford assets in South Texas, included in the Exploration and Production reporting segment, for net proceeds of $2.1 billion and a net gain of $729 million
Marcellus assets in Pennsylvania, included in the Exploration and Production and Other Midstream reporting segments, for net proceeds of $758 million and net losses of $54 million in 2017 and $129 million in the fourth quarter of 2016
Eaglebine assets in Southeast Texas, included in the Exploration and Production reporting segment, for net proceeds of $534 million and a net gain of $281 million
Utah CBM assets, included in the Exploration and Production and Other Midstream reporting segments, for net proceeds of $70 million and a net loss of $52 million

Property Exchange On March 17, 2017, WES acquired a third party’s 50% nonoperated interest in the DBJV System in exchange for WES’s 33.75% interest in nonoperated Marcellus midstream assets and $155 million in cash. WES recognized a gain of $126 million as a result of this transaction. Following the acquisition, the DBJV System is 100% owned by WES and consolidated by Anadarko.

5. Impairments

Impairments of Long-Lived Assets

2018 During the three months ended June 30, 2018, the Company expensed $128 million primarily related to a gathering system in the DJ basin, included in the WES Midstream reporting segment, that was permanently taken out of service in the second quarter of 2018.

2017 During the six months ended June 30, 2017, the Company expensed $383 million primarily related to the following:
$211 million related to oil and gas properties in the Gulf of Mexico, included in the Exploration and Production reporting segment, due to lower forecasted commodity prices at that time. The assets had a post-impairment fair value of $231 million.
$168 million related to a U.S. onshore midstream property, included in the WES Midstream reporting segment, due to a reduced throughput fee as a result of a producer’s bankruptcy. The asset had a post-impairment fair value of $58 million.
Fair values were measured as of the impairment date using the income approach and Level 3 inputs. The primary assumptions used to estimate undiscounted future net cash flows include anticipated future production, commodity prices, and capital and operating costs.

Impairments of Unproved Properties Impairments of unproved properties are included in exploration expense in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income. During the six months ended June 30, 2018, the Company recognized $94 million of impairments of unproved Gulf of Mexico properties primarily related to blocks where the Company determined it would no longer pursue activities. The Company recognized $555 million of impairments of unproved Gulf of Mexico properties during the six months ended June 30, 2017, of which $463 million related to the Shenandoah project. The unproved property balance related to the Shenandoah project originated from the purchase price allocated to the Gulf of Mexico exploration projects from the acquisition of Kerr-McGee Corporation in 2006.

It is reasonably possible that significant declines in commodity prices, further changes to the Company’s drilling plans in response to lower prices, reduction of proved and probable reserve estimates, or increases in drilling or operating costs could result in other additional impairments.

6. Suspended Exploratory Well Costs

The Company’s suspended exploratory well costs were $498 million at June 30, 2018, and $525 million at December 31, 2017. For exploratory wells, drilling costs are capitalized, or “suspended,” on the balance sheet when the well has found a sufficient quantity of reserves to justify its completion as a producing well and sufficient progress is being made in assessing the reserves and the economic and operating viability of the project. If additional information becomes available that raises substantial doubt as to the economic or operational viability of any of these projects, the associated costs will be expensed at that time. During the six months ended June 30, 2018, there was no exploration expense recorded for suspended exploratory well costs previously capitalized for greater than one year at December 31, 2017.

8. Derivative Instruments

Objective and Strategy  The Company uses derivative instruments to manage its exposure to cash-flow variability from commodity-price and interest-rate risks. Futures, swaps, and options are used to manage exposure to commodity-price risk inherent in the Company’s oil and natural-gas production and natural-gas processing operations (Oil and Natural-Gas Production/Processing Derivative Activities). Futures contracts and commodity-price swap agreements are used to fix the price of expected future oil and natural-gas sales at major industry trading locations, such as Cushing, Oklahoma or Sullom Voe, Scotland for oil and Henry Hub, Louisiana for natural gas. Basis swaps are periodically used to fix or float the price differential between product prices at one market location versus another. Options are used to establish a floor price, a ceiling price, or a floor and a ceiling price (collar) for expected future oil and natural-gas sales. Derivative instruments are also used to manage commodity-price risk inherent in customer price requirements and to fix margins on the future sale of natural gas and NGLs from the Company’s leased storage facilities.
Interest-rate swaps are used to fix or float interest rates on existing or anticipated indebtedness. The purpose of these instruments is to manage the Company’s existing or anticipated exposure to interest-rate changes. The fair value of the Company’s current interest-rate swap portfolio is subject to changes in interest rates.
The Company does not apply hedge accounting to any of its derivative instruments. As a result, gains and losses associated with derivative instruments are recognized currently in earnings. Net derivative losses attributable to derivatives previously subject to hedge accounting reside in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and are reclassified to earnings as the transactions to which the derivatives relate are recognized in earnings.

A two-way collar is a combination of two options: a sold call and a purchased put. The sold call establishes the maximum price that the Company will receive for the contracted commodity volumes. The purchased put establishes the minimum price that the Company will receive for the contracted volumes.
A three-way collar is a combination of three options: a sold call, a purchased put, and a sold put. The sold call establishes the maximum price that the Company will receive for the contracted commodity volumes. The purchased put establishes the minimum price that the Company will receive for the contracted volumes unless the market price for the commodity falls below the sold put strike price, at which point the minimum price equals the reference price (e.g., NYMEX) plus the excess of the purchased put strike price over the sold put strike price.

8. Derivative Instruments (Continued)

Interest-Rate Derivatives  Anadarko has outstanding interest-rate swap contracts to manage interest-rate risk associated with anticipated debt issuances. The Company has locked in a fixed interest rate in exchange for a floating interest rate indexed to the three-month LIBOR.
At June 30, 2018, the Company had outstanding interest-rate swaps with a notional amount of $1.6 billion due prior to or in September 2023 that manage interest-rate risk associated with potential future debt issuances. Depending on market conditions, liability-management actions, or other factors, the Company may enter into offsetting interest-rate swap positions or settle or amend certain or all of the currently outstanding interest-rate swaps. The Company had the following outstanding interest-rate swaps at June 30, 2018

Derivative settlements and collateralization are classified as cash flows from operating activities unless the derivatives contain an other-than-insignificant financing element, in which case the settlements and collateralization are classified as cash flows from financing activities. As a result of prior extensions of reference-period start dates without settlement of the related interest-rate derivative obligations, the interest-rate derivatives in the Company’s portfolio contain an other-than-insignificant financing element, and therefore, any settlements, collateralization, or cash payments for amendments related to these extended interest-rate derivatives are classified as cash flows from financing activities. Net cash payments related to settlements and amendments of interest-rate swap agreements were $48 million during the six months ended June 30, 2018, and $65 million during the six months ended June 30, 2017.

8. Derivative Instruments (Continued)

Credit-Risk Considerations  The financial integrity of exchange-traded contracts, which are subject to nominal credit risk, is assured by NYMEX or ICE through systems of financial safeguards and transaction guarantees. Over-the-counter traded swaps, options, and futures contracts expose the Company to counterparty credit risk. The Company monitors the creditworthiness of its counterparties, establishes credit limits according to the Company’s credit policies and guidelines, and assesses the impact on the fair value of its counterparties’ creditworthiness. The Company has the ability to require cash collateral or letters of credit to mitigate its credit-risk exposure.
The Company has netting agreements with financial institutions that permit net settlement of gross commodity derivative assets against gross commodity derivative liabilities and routinely exercises its contractual right to offset gains and losses when settling with derivative counterparties. In addition, the Company has setoff agreements with certain financial institutions that may be exercised in the event of default and provide for contract termination and net settlement across derivative types.
The Company’s derivative instruments are subject to individually negotiated credit provisions that may require collateral of cash or letters of credit depending on the derivative’s portfolio valuation versus negotiated credit thresholds. These credit thresholds generally require full or partial collateralization of the Company’s obligations depending on certain credit-risk-related provisions, such as the Company’s credit rating from S&P and Moody’s. As of June 30, 2018, the Company’s long-term debt was rated investment grade (BBB) by both S&P and Fitch and below investment grade (Ba1) by Moody’s. The Company may be required to post additional collateral with respect to its derivative instruments if its credit ratings decline below current levels. For example, based on the derivative positions as of June 30, 2018, if Anadarko’s credit rating were to be downgraded one level by either S&P or Moody’s, the Company could be required to post additional collateral of up to approximately $153 million. The aggregate fair value of derivative instruments with credit-risk-related contingent features for which a net liability position existed was $1.6 billion (net of $67 million of collateral) at June 30, 2018, and $1.4 billion (net of $170 million of collateral) at December 31, 2017.

Fair Value  Fair value of futures contracts is based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities, which represent Level 1 inputs. Valuations of physical-delivery purchase and sale agreements, over-the-counter financial swaps, and commodity option collars are based on similar transactions observable in active markets and industry-standard models that primarily rely on market-observable inputs. Inputs used to estimate fair value in industry-standard models are categorized as Level 2 inputs because substantially all assumptions and inputs are observable in active markets throughout the full term of the instruments. Inputs used to estimate the fair value of swaps and options include market-price curves; contract terms and prices; credit-risk adjustments; and, for Black-Scholes option valuations, discount factors and implied market volatility.

9. Tangible Equity Units

In June 2015, the Company issued 9.2 million 7.50% TEUs at a stated amount of $50.00 per TEU and raised net proceeds of $445 million. Each TEU was comprised of a prepaid equity purchase contract for common units of WGP and a senior amortizing note. The prepaid equity purchase contract was considered a freestanding financial instrument, indexed to WGP common units, and met the conditions for equity classification.

Equity Component On June 7, 2018, the mandatory settlement date, Anadarko settled 9.2 million outstanding TEUs in exchange for approximately 8.2 million WGP common units based on the determined final settlement rate of 0.8921 WGP common units per outstanding TEU. See settlement of tangible equity units in the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Equity.

Debt Component Each senior amortizing note had an initial principal amount of $10.95 and bore interest at 1.50% per year. The final installment payment of $9 million was made on June 7, 2018. For activity related to the senior amortizing notes, see Note 10—Debt.

The Company’s outstanding borrowings, except for borrowings under the WGP RCF, are senior unsecured.

Fair Value  The Company uses a market approach to determine the fair value of its fixed-rate debt using observable market data, which results in a Level 2 fair-value measurement. The carrying amount of floating-rate debt approximates fair value as the interest rates are variable and reflective of market rates. The estimated fair value of the Company’s total borrowings was $17.5 billion at June 30, 2018, and $17.7 billion at December 31, 2017.

10. Debt (Continued)

Anadarko Borrowings  In January 2018, the Company amended its $3.0 billion senior unsecured RCF to extend the maturity date to January 2022 (APC RCF) and amended its $2.0 billion 364-day senior unsecured RCF to extend the maturity date to January 2019 (364-Day Facility). At June 30, 2018, Anadarko had no outstanding borrowings under the APC RCF or the 364-Day Facility and was in compliance with all covenants.
At June 30, 2018, Anadarko had outstanding borrowings of $600 million of 8.700% Senior Notes due March 2019 and $300 million of 6.950% Senior Notes due June 2019 classified as short-term debt on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet. Short-term debt also included the current portion of the Company’s capital lease obligations.
Anadarko’s Zero Coupons can be put to the Company in October of each year, in whole or in part, for the then-accreted value of the outstanding Zero Coupons, which, if put in whole, will be $930 million at the next put date in October 2018. Anadarko’s Zero Coupons were classified as long-term debt on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet at June 30, 2018, as the Company has the ability and intent to refinance these obligations using long-term debt, should the put be exercised.
The Company also has notes payable related to its ownership of certain noncontrolling mandatorily redeemable interests that are not included in the Company’s reported debt balance and do not affect consolidated interest expense. See Note 8—Equity-Method Investments in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017.

WES and WGP Borrowings  In February 2018, WES amended its RCF to extend the maturity date from February 2020 to February 2023 and expanded the borrowing capacity to $1.5 billion (WES RCF). As part of the amendment, the WES RCF is expandable to a maximum of $2.0 billion. During the six months ended June 30, 2018, WES borrowed $260 million under its RCF, which was used for general partnership purposes, and made repayments of $630 million. At June 30, 2018, WES had no outstanding borrowings under its RCF, outstanding letters of credit of $5 million, available borrowing capacity of $1.495 billion, and was in compliance with all covenants. WES’s $350 million 2.600% Senior Notes due August 2018 were classified as long-term debt on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet at June 30, 2018, as WES has the ability and intent to refinance these obligations using long-term debt.
In March 2018, WES completed a public offering of $400 million aggregate principal amount of 4.500% Senior Notes due March 2028 and a public offering of $700 million aggregate principal amount of 5.300% Senior Notes due March 2048. Net proceeds from the public offerings were used to repay amounts outstanding under the WES RCF and for general partnership purposes, including to fund capital expenditures.
In February 2018, WGP voluntarily reduced the aggregate commitments of the lenders under its senior secured RCF maturing in March 2019 from $250 million to $35 million (WGP RCF). Obligations under the WGP RCF are secured by a first priority lien on all of WGP’s assets (not including the consolidated assets of WES) as well as all equity interests owned by WGP. At June 30, 2018, WGP had outstanding borrowings of $28 million at an interest rate of 4.10%, classified as short-term debt on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet, and had available borrowing capacity of $7 million. At June 30, 2018, WGP was in compliance with all covenants.

11. Income Taxes

Upon enactment of the Tax Reform Legislation on December 22, 2017, the Company remeasured its U.S. deferred tax assets and liabilities based on the reduction of the U.S. corporate tax rate from 35% to 21%. The Company expects to complete the accounting for the income tax effects related to the adoption of the Tax Reform Legislation, including its accounting policy related to Global Intangible Low Taxed Income, and record any necessary adjustments to provisional tax amounts before the end of the measurement period on December 21, 2018. See Note 13—Income Taxes in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017.

The Company’s tax provision for interim periods is determined using an estimate of its annual current and deferred effective tax rates, adjusted for discrete items. Each quarter, the Company updates these rates and records a cumulative adjustment to current and deferred tax expense by applying the rates to the year-to-date pre-tax income excluding discrete items. The Company’s quarterly estimate of its annual current and deferred effective tax rates can vary significantly based on various forecasted items, including future commodity prices, capital expenditures, expenses for which tax benefits are not recognized, and the geographic mix of pre-tax income and losses.
The variance from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, was primarily attributable to the following items:
tax impact from foreign operations
non-deductible Algerian exceptional profits tax for Algerian income tax purposes
The Company reported a loss before income taxes for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017. As a result, items that ordinarily increase or decrease tax rate will have the opposite effect. The variance from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 35% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 was primarily attributable to the following items:
tax impact from foreign operations
non-deductible Algerian exceptional profits tax for Algerian income tax purposes
net changes in uncertain tax positions
income attributable to noncontrolling interests
The Company recognized a net tax benefit of $346 million as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, related to the deduction of its 2015 settlement payment for the Tronox Adversary Proceeding. This benefit is net of uncertain tax positions of $1.2 billion as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, due to uncertainty related to the deductibility of the settlement payment. Due to the deduction of the settlement payment, the Company had a net operating loss carryback for 2015, which resulted in a tentative tax refund of $881 million in 2016. The IRS has audited this position and, in April 2018, issued a final notice of proposed adjustment denying the deductibility of the settlement payment. The Company disagrees and is defending its tax position. Accordingly, the Company has not revised its estimate of the benefit that will ultimately be realized. It is reasonably possible the amount of uncertain tax position and/or tax benefit could materially change as the Company defends its tax position through the appeals process and other available avenues. The Company could be required to repay all or a portion of the tentative refund received, with interest, prior to determining the final outcome of its position either upon IRS request or litigation of the matter in District or Federal Claims Court. If the payment is ultimately determined not to be deductible, the Company would be required to repay the tentative refund received, plus interest, and reverse the net benefit of $346 million previously recognized in its consolidated financial statements.

Common Stock  The Company announced a $2.5 billion Share-Repurchase Program in September 2017, which was expanded to $3.0 billion in February 2018. In July 2018, the program was further expanded to $4.0 billion and extended through June 30, 2019. The Share-Repurchase Program authorizes the repurchase of the Company’s common stock in the open market or through private transactions. As of the end of the second quarter of 2018, the Company had completed $3.0 billion of the Share-Repurchase Program.
During the six months ended June 30, 2018, the Company entered into and completed two ASR Agreements as presented below:

Under each ASR Agreement, the Company paid a specific amount in cash and received an initial delivery of shares of the Company’s common stock. The initial delivery of shares represented the minimum number of shares to be repurchased under the agreement. The final number of shares delivered upon settlement of each ASR Agreement was determined with reference to the volume-weighted average price of the shares during the term of the agreement less a negotiated settlement price adjustment. These transactions were accounted for as equity transactions, with all of the repurchased shares classified as treasury stock. Additionally, the receipt of these shares reduced the average number of shares of common stock outstanding used to compute both basic and diluted EPS.

15. Noncontrolling Interests

WES is a limited partnership formed by Anadarko to acquire, own, develop, and operate midstream assets. During 2016, WES issued 22 million Series A Preferred units to private investors. Pursuant to an agreement between WES and the holders of the Series A Preferred units, 50% of the Series A Preferred units converted into WES common units on a one-for-one basis on March 1, 2017, and all remaining Series A Preferred units were converted on May 2, 2017.
WES Class C units issued to Anadarko will convert into WES common units on a one-for-one basis on the conversion date, which was extended in February 2017 from December 31, 2017, to March 1, 2020. The Class C units receive quarterly distributions in the form of additional Class C units until the March 1, 2020 conversion date, unless WES elects to convert the units to common units earlier or Anadarko elects to extend the conversion date. WES distributed 534 thousand Class C units to Anadarko during the six months ended June 30, 2018, and 886 thousand Class C units to Anadarko during 2017.
WGP is a limited partnership formed by Anadarko to own interests in WES. In June 2018, Anadarko settled 9.2 million outstanding TEUs, originally issued in 2015, in exchange for approximately 8.2 million WGP common units. See Note 9—Tangible Equity Units for additional information. At June 30, 2018, Anadarko’s ownership interest in WGP consisted of a 77.8% limited partner interest and the entire non-economic general partner interest. The remaining 22.2% limited partner interest in WGP was owned by the public.
At June 30, 2018, WGP’s ownership interest in WES consisted of a 29.7% limited partner interest, the entire 1.5% general partner interest, and all of the WES incentive distribution rights. At June 30, 2018, Anadarko also owned a 9.3% limited partner interest in WES through other subsidiaries’ ownership of common and Class C units. The remaining 59.5% limited partner interest in WES was owned by the public.

16. Variable Interest Entities

Consolidated VIEs The Company determined that the partners in WGP and WES with equity at risk lack the power, through voting rights or similar rights, to direct the activities that most significantly impact WGP’s and WES’s economic performance; therefore, WGP and WES are considered VIEs. Anadarko, through its ownership of the general partner interest in WGP, has the power to direct the activities that most significantly affect economic performance and the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits that could be potentially significant to WGP and WES; therefore, Anadarko is considered the primary beneficiary and consolidates WGP, WES, and all of their consolidated subsidiaries. For additional information on WGP and WES, see Note 15—Noncontrolling Interests.

Assets and Liabilities of VIEs The assets of WGP, WES, and their subsidiaries cannot be used by Anadarko for general corporate purposes and are included in and disclosed parenthetically on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. The carrying amounts of liabilities related to WGP, WES, and their subsidiaries for which the creditors do not have recourse to other assets of the Company are included in and disclosed parenthetically on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets.
All outstanding debt for WES at June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, including any borrowings under the WES RCF, is recourse to WES’s general partner, which in turn has been indemnified in certain circumstances by certain wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company for such liabilities. All outstanding debt for WGP at June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, including any borrowings under the WGP RCF, is recourse to WGP’s general partner, which is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. See Note 10—Debt for additional information on WGP and WES short-term and long-term debt balances.

16. Variable Interest Entities (Continued)

VIE Financing WGP’s sources of liquidity include borrowings under its RCF and distributions from WES. WES’s sources of liquidity include cash and cash equivalents, cash flows generated from operations, interest income from a note receivable from Anadarko as discussed below, borrowings under its RCF, the issuance of additional partnership units, and debt offerings. See Note 10—Debt and Note 15—Noncontrolling Interests for additional information on WGP and WES financing activity.

Financial Support Provided to VIEs Concurrent with the closing of its May 2008 IPO, WES loaned the Company $260 million in exchange for a 30-year note bearing interest at a fixed annual rate of 6.50%, payable quarterly. The related interest income for WES was $4 million for each of the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, and $8 million for each of the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017. The note receivable and related interest income are eliminated in consolidation.
To reduce WES’s exposure to a majority of the commodity-price risk inherent in certain of its contracts, Anadarko has commodity price swap agreements in place with WES expiring on December 31, 2018. WES recorded a capital contribution from Anadarko in its Consolidated Statement of Equity and Partners’ Capital for an amount equal to (i) the amount by which the swap price for product sales exceeds the applicable market price, minus (ii) the amount by which the swap price for product purchases exceeds the market price. WES recorded a capital contribution from Anadarko of $28 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018, and $29 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017.

18. Segment Information

Anadarko’s business segments are separately managed due to distinct operational differences. Anadarko has three reporting segments: Exploration and Production, WES Midstream, and Other Midstream, which include their respective marketing results. The Company has reclassified prior-period amounts to conform to the current-period presentation.
The Exploration and Production reporting segment is engaged in the exploration, development, production, and sale of oil, natural gas, and NGLs and in advancing its Mozambique LNG project toward FID. The WES Midstream and Other Midstream reporting segments engage in gathering, compressing, treating, processing, and transporting of natural gas; gathering, stabilizing, and transporting of oil and NGLs; and gathering and disposing of produced water. The WES Midstream segment consists of WES midstream assets, and the Other Midstream segment consists of the Company’s other midstream assets.
To assess the performance of Anadarko’s operating segments, the chief operating decision maker analyzes Adjusted EBITDAX. The Company defines Adjusted EBITDAX as income (loss) before income taxes; interest expense; DD&A; exploration expense; gains (losses) on divestitures, net; impairments; total (gains) losses on derivatives, net, less net cash from settlement of commodity derivatives; and less net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests.
The Company’s definition of Adjusted EBITDAX excludes gains (losses) on divestitures, net and exploration expense as they are not indicators of operating efficiency for a given reporting period. DD&A and impairments are excluded from Adjusted EBITDAX as a measure of segment operating performance because capital expenditures are evaluated at the time capital costs are incurred. Adjusted EBITDAX also excludes interest expense to allow for assessment of segment operating results without regard to Anadarko’s financing methods or capital structure. Total (gains) losses on derivatives, net, less net cash from settlement of commodity derivatives are excluded from Adjusted EBITDAX because these (gains) losses are not considered a measure of asset operating performance. Finally, net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests is excluded from the Company’s measure of Adjusted EBITDAX because it represents earnings that are not attributable to the Company’s common stockholders.
Management believes Adjusted EBITDAX provides information useful in assessing the Company’s operating and financial performance across periods. Adjusted EBITDAX as defined by Anadarko may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies and should be considered in conjunction with net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders and other performance measures, such as operating income. Below is a reconciliation of consolidated Adjusted EBITDAX to income (loss) before income taxes:

MANAGEMENT OVERVIEW

Anadarko’s strategy is to explore for, develop, and commercialize resources globally; ensure health, safety, and environmental excellence; and focus on financial discipline, flexibility, and value creation; while demonstrating the Company’s core values in all its business activities. The Company’s revenues, operating results, cash flows from operations, capital spending, and future growth rates are highly dependent on commodity prices, which affect the value the Company receives from its sales of oil, natural gas, and NGLs.
The Company continues to leverage its foundational principle of efficient capital allocation to generate attractive returns on, and of, capital while investing within cash flow. Anadarko also continues to focus on cash-margin improvement and has actively managed its portfolio to focus on higher-return, oil-levered opportunities in areas where it possesses both scale and competitive advantages, namely in the Delaware and DJ basins in the U.S. onshore and in the deepwater Gulf of Mexico. The Company expects to use excess cash generated from its Gulf of Mexico, international producing, and DJ basin assets to fund the growth of its other unconventional assets in the U.S. onshore and return cash to stakeholders.
In the second quarter of 2018, the Company completed the repurchase of $1.4 billion of the Company’s common stock, bringing the total repurchases to $3.0 billion. In July 2018, Anadarko expanded the Share-Repurchase Program from $3.0 billion to $4.0 billion. The Company also announced a $500 million increase to its debt-reduction program, bringing the total planned debt reduction to $1.5 billion. In the second quarter of 2018, the Company repaid $114 million of debt at maturity and has plans to retire $900 million of fixed-rate debt maturing in the first half of 2019. These actions demonstrate the strength of the Company’s portfolio and commitment to capital efficiency.
In the Delaware basin, the Company continues to build out one of the most expansive and integrated infrastructure positions in the region and is transitioning to multi-well pad development, primarily in Reeves and Loving counties. The first ROTF in Reeves County was completed and brought online during the second quarter of 2018. Subsequent to quarter end, final commissioning activities were completed for the ROTF in Loving County where new wells in the area are expected to be brought online and flow into this ROTF during the third quarter of 2018. The completion of these facilities supports the more cost-effective and environmentally beneficial tankless battery design field-wide and also secures necessary gathering, processing, and takeaway capacity. This comprehensive build-out plan and phased development approach in the Delaware basin is expected to deliver incremental oil sales volumes during the second half of 2018. The Company ended the second quarter of 2018 with 7 operated drilling rigs in the Delaware basin, which compares to 10 operated drilling rigs at year-end 2017.
In the DJ basin, the Company continues to leverage its minerals-interest ownership and extensive infrastructure position to deliver development wells with attractive rates of return. The Company ended the second quarter of 2018 with four operated drilling rigs in the DJ basin, which compares to six operated drilling rigs at year-end 2017. The Company plans to operate at this level for the remainder of 2018.
In the deepwater Gulf of Mexico, Anadarko has two floating drillships and one platform rig available to conduct operations that are focused toward high-return oil development opportunities near the Company’s expansive infrastructure. Internationally, drilling continues in offshore Ghana with new development activities planned at the TEN and Jubilee fields.
In order to reduce commodity-price risk and increase the predictability of 2018 cash flows, the Company has strategic derivative positions covering approximately 50% of its anticipated oil sales volumes for 2018, including approximately 85% of its expected Brent-levered sales volumes. The Company also has strategic derivative positions covering slightly more than 50% of its anticipated 2018 natural-gas sales volumes. See Note 8—Derivative Instruments in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements under Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q.

Table of Contents

Significant operating and financial activities for the second quarter of 2018 include the following:

Total Company
Anadarko’s overall sales-volume product mix increased to 57% oil in the second quarter of 2018, compared to 52% in the second quarter of 2017, which improved margins and returns.
U.S. Onshore
U.S. onshore oil sales volumes increased by 39 MBbls/d, representing a 30% increase from the second quarter of 2017, primarily due to continued drilling and completion activities.
In the Delaware basin, the first ROTF was completed in Reeves County, with 30 wells online at the end of the second quarter.
International
Ghana
In the TEN fields of Ghana, the operator resumed drilling operations in the first quarter of 2018 and began completion operations in the second quarter of 2018.
In the second quarter of 2018, the operator of the FPSO at the Jubilee field in Ghana completed the second of three shutdown periods expected to occur in 2018 to effectively stabilize the turret and rotate the FPSO to its permanent heading. In addition, the operator drilled two wells during the quarter with completion operations and first production anticipated in the second half of 2018.
Mozambique
Anadarko and its co-venturers in Mozambique Area 1 signed a Heads of Agreement with Tokyo Gas Co., Ltd. and Centrica LNG Company for long-term LNG off-take of 2.6 million tonnes per annum. The Company is now focused on converting all non-binding commitments to fully termed Sales and Purchase Agreements.
The resettlement and onshore site preparation activities continue to progress in order to position the area for construction of the LNG facilities.
With the continued progress in marketing, project finance, contracts, and site improvement activities, Anadarko and its co-venturers expect to take FID in the first half of 2019.
Financial
The Company generated $1.2 billion of cash flow from operations and ended the quarter with $2.3 billion of cash.
In June 2018, the Company completed the repurchase of an additional $1.4 billion of the Company’s common stock under the Share-Repurchase Program.
In July 2018, the Company expanded the Share-Repurchase Program to $4.0 billion and extended the program through June 30, 2019.
The Company repaid $114 million of 7.050% Debentures at maturity in May 2018.

Sales volumes represent actual production volumes adjusted for changes in commodity inventories as well as natural-gas production volumes provided to satisfy a commitment under the Jubilee development plan in Ghana. The Company has derivative instruments in place to reduce the price risk associated with future production. For additional information, see Note 8—Derivative Instruments in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements under Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q. Production of oil, natural gas, and NGLs is usually not affected by seasonal swings in demand.

Oil Sales Volumes

2018 vs. 2017  The Company’s oil sales volumes increased by 33 MBbls/d for the three months ended June 30, 2018, and 19 MBbls/d for the six months ended June 30, 2018, primarily due to the following:
U.S. Onshore
Sales volumes for the Delaware basin increased by 29 MBbls/d for the three months ended June 30, 2018, and 25 MBbls/d for the six months ended June 30, 2018, primarily due to continued drilling and completion activities in 2018.
Sales volumes for the DJ basin increased by 23 MBbls/d for the three months ended June 30, 2018, and 21 MBbls/d for the six months ended June 30, 2018, primarily due to continued drilling and completion activities in 2018.
Divestitures resulted in a decrease in sales volumes of 15 MBbls/d for the three months ended June 30, 2018, and 20 MBbls/d for the six months ended June 30, 2018, primarily related to the sale of the Eagleford and West Chalk assets in the first half of 2017 and the Alaska nonoperated assets in the first quarter of 2018.
Gulf of Mexico
Sales volumes for the Gulf of Mexico increased by 2 MBbls/d for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, primarily due to continued tie-back activity at Horn Mountain and Marlin, partially offset by construction and maintenance downtime at other platforms.
International
Sales volumes for Algeria decreased by 7 MBbls/d for the three months ended June 30, 2018, and 10 MBbls/d for the six months ended June 30, 2018, primarily due to timing of liftings and a decrease in production driven by facility downtime for statutory maintenance.

Natural-Gas Prices
The average natural-gas price received decreased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, primarily due to increased U.S. natural-gas production, partially offset by increased weather-driven consumer demand coupled with an increase in natural-gas exports to Mexico and LNG exports.

Natural-Gas Sales Volumes
2018 vs. 2017  The Company’s natural-gas sales volumes decreased by 201 MMcf/d for the three months ended June 30, 2018, and 503 MMcf/d for the six months ended June 30, 2018, primarily due to the sale of the Marcellus, Eagleford, and Utah CBM assets in the first half of 2017 and the Moxa assets in the second half of 2017.

NGLs Prices
The average NGLs price received increased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, primarily due to increased ethane prices resulting from increased domestic demand and increased propane prices stemming from higher underlying crude prices.

NGLs Sales Volumes
2018 vs. 2017  The Company’s NGLs sales volumes increased by 6 MBbls/d for the three months ended June 30, 2018, and decreased by 8 MBbls/d for the six months ended June 30, 2018, primarily due to the following:
U.S. Onshore
Sales volumes for the Delaware basin increased by 7 MBbls/d for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, primarily due to continued drilling and completion activities in 2018.
Sales volumes for other U.S. onshore assets decreased by 13 MBbls/d for the six months ended June 30, 2018, primarily due to the sale of the Eagleford and West Chalk assets in the first half of 2017 and the Moxa assets in the second half of 2017.

As a result of adopting ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), as of January 1, 2018, gathering, processing, and marketing sales decreased by $268 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018, and $485 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018, and gathering, processing, and marketing expenses decreased by $266 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018, and $480 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018. Refer to Note 2—Revenue from Contracts with Customers in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements under Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q for further information.

Gathering and processing sales include fee revenue earned by providing gathering, processing, compression, and treating services to third parties as well as revenue from the sale of NGLs and remaining residue gas extracted from natural gas purchased from third parties and processed by Anadarko. The net margin from the sale of NGLs and residue gas for service customers when Anadarko is acting as agent is also included. Gathering and processing expense includes the cost of third-party natural gas purchased and processed by Anadarko as well as other operating and transportation expenses related to the Company’s costs to perform gathering and processing activities.
Marketing sales include the margin earned from purchasing and selling third-party oil and natural gas. Marketing expense includes transportation and other operating expenses related to the Company’s costs to perform marketing activities.
Total gathering, processing, and marketing, net increased by $21 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018, and by $50 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018, primarily due to increased throughput volumes at the DBM Complex, which were partially due to increased capacity from the 200 MMcf/d cryogenic train that commenced service in December 2017, and increased throughput volumes at the DJ Basin Complex.

Oil and Gas Operating Expense

Oil and gas operating expenses increased by $66 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018, primarily due to the following:
higher operating costs of $68 million, primarily related to increased activity in the DJ and Delaware basins, partially offset by lower expenses of $47 million as a result of U.S. onshore asset divestitures
higher operating costs of $23 million, primarily related to increased platform maintenance, workovers, and repairs in the Gulf of Mexico
The related costs per BOE increased by $1.00 for the six months ended June 30, 2018, primarily due to increased costs as a result of shifting to a higher-return, oil-levered portfolio that includes the Gulf of Mexico and the DJ and Delaware basins, which operate at a higher cost compared to the divested lower-return, gas-levered assets.

Oil and Gas Transportation Expense

Oil and gas transportation expenses decreased by $73 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018, primarily due to U.S. onshore divestitures. Oil and gas transportation expenses per BOE decreased by $0.21 for the six months ended June 30, 2018, primarily due to divestitures and lower transportation expense per BOE in the Delaware and DJ basins. After significant investment in its midstream infrastructure, the Company has increased the use of its midstream facilities resulting in lower transportation costs for its Delaware and DJ sales volumes.

G&A increased by $44 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018, and $59 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018, primarily due to an increase in the fair value of performance-based unit awards. The fair value of the performance-based unit awards is calculated using a Monte Carlo simulation that incorporates several variables, including Anadarko’s historical share price and share prices of a predetermined group of peer companies to estimate the future total shareholder returns of each. Accordingly, future G&A could be higher or lower based on the outputs from the Monte Carlo simulation for the performance-based unit awards.

Upon enactment of the Tax Reform Legislation on December 22, 2017, the Company remeasured its U.S. deferred tax assets and liabilities based on the reduction of the U.S. corporate tax rate from 35% to 21%. The Company expects to make any necessary adjustments to the provisional income tax estimates related to the adoption of the Tax Reform Legislation before the end of the measurement period on December 21, 2018.
The Company’s effective tax rate is impacted each year by the relative pre-tax income (loss) earned by the Company’s operations in the U.S., Algeria, and the rest of the world. The Company is subject to statutory tax rates of 38% in Algeria and 35% in Ghana. These higher-taxed foreign operations as well as non-deductible Algerian exceptional profits tax for Algerian income tax purposes generally cause the Company’s effective tax rate to vary significantly from the U.S. corporate tax rate. Additionally, the Company’s effective tax rate is typically impacted by net changes in uncertain tax positions, income attributable to noncontrolling interests, state income taxes (net of federal benefit), and dispositions of non-deductible goodwill.
The Company received an $881 million tentative refund in 2016 related to its $5.2 billion Tronox settlement payment in 2015. In April 2018, the IRS issued a final notice of proposed adjustment denying the deductibility of the settlement payment. If the payment is ultimately determined to not be deductible, the Company would be required to repay the tentative refund previously received plus interest, and the Company would be required to reverse the net benefit of $346 million previously recognized in its financial statements.
For additional information on income taxes, see Note 11—Income Taxes in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements under Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q.

Overview  The Company has a variety of funding sources available, including cash, an asset portfolio that provides ongoing cash-flow-generating capacity, opportunities for liquidity enhancement through divestitures and joint-venture arrangements that reduce future capital expenditures, the Company’s credit facilities, and access to both debt and equity capital markets. In addition, an effective registration statement is available to Anadarko covering the sale of WGP common units owned by the Company. WGP and WES function with capital structures that are separate from Anadarko, consisting of their own debt instruments and publicly traded common units.
During the six months ended June 30, 2018, Anadarko paid $1.9 billion to repurchase shares under the Share-Repurchase Program and received net proceeds of $384 million from divestitures, primarily related to the sale of the Company’s nonoperated interest in Alaska. As of June 30, 2018, Anadarko had $2.3 billion of cash plus $5.0 billion of borrowing capacity under its APC RCF and 364-Day Facility. Anadarko believes that its current available cash and future operating cash flows will be sufficient to fund the Company’s projected long-term operational and capital programs, its quarterly dividends, the planned debt retirements, and the repurchase of $1.0 billion of the Company’s common stock remaining under the Share-Repurchase Program. The Company continuously monitors its liquidity position and evaluates available funding alternatives in light of current and expected conditions.

Operating Activities

One of the primary sources of variability in the Company’s cash flows from operating activities is the fluctuation in commodity prices, the impact of which Anadarko partially mitigates by periodically entering into commodity derivatives. Sales-volume changes also impact cash flow but historically have not been as volatile as commodity prices. Anadarko’s cash flows from operating activities are also impacted by the costs related to operations and interest payments related to the Company’s outstanding debt.
Cash flows from operating activities was $2.7 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2018, $675 million higher than in the same period of 2017, primarily due to higher sales revenues resulting from higher commodity prices and a higher oil composition of sales volumes.

Additions to properties and equipment as presented within Anadarko’s cash flows from investing activities include cash payments for cost of properties, equipment, and facilities. The cost of properties includes the initial capitalization of drilling costs associated with all exploratory wells, whether or not they were deemed to have a commercially sufficient quantity of proved reserves.

The Company’s capital expenditures increased by $1.0 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2018. Exploration and Production capital expenditures increased primarily due to higher development costs of $741 million driven by increased drilling and completion activity primarily in the DJ and Delaware basins and the Gulf of Mexico. This increase was partially offset by lower exploration costs of $325 million primarily related to decreased exploration drilling in the Gulf of Mexico, Côte d’Ivoire, and Colombia. Other Midstream capital expenditures increased $375 million due to asset development primarily in the Delaware basin. WES Midstream capital expenditures increased $191 million primarily related to the development of assets in the Delaware and DJ basins.

Investments  During the six months ended June 30, 2018, the Company made capital contributions of $192 million for equity investments, which are included in other, net under Investing Activities in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. These contributions were primarily associated with joint ventures for pipelines.

Divestitures  During the six months ended June 30, 2018, Anadarko received net proceeds of $384 million from divestitures, primarily related to the sale of the Company’s nonoperated interest in Alaska. See Note 4—Divestitures in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements under Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q.

In addition, WES has a scheduled debt maturity during 2018 of $350 million of 2.600% Senior Notes due August 2018, which was classified as long-term debt on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet at June 30, 2018, as WES has the ability and intent to refinance this obligation using long-term debt.
Anadarko’s Zero Coupons can be put to the Company in October of each year, in whole or in part, for the then-accreted value of the outstanding Zero Coupons, which, if put in whole, will be $930 million at the next put date in October 2018. Anadarko’s Zero Coupons were classified as long-term debt on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet at June 30, 2018, as the Company has the ability and intent to refinance these obligations using long-term debt, should the put be exercised.

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

The Company’s primary market risks are attributable to fluctuations in energy prices and interest rates. These risks can affect revenues and cash flows, and the Company’s risk-management policies provide for the use of derivative instruments to manage these risks. The types of commodity derivative instruments used by the Company include futures, swaps, options, and fixed-price physical-delivery contracts. The volume of commodity derivatives entered into by the Company is governed by risk-management policies and may vary from year to year. Both exchange and over-the-counter traded derivative instruments may be subject to margin-deposit requirements, and the Company may be required from time to time to deposit cash or provide letters of credit with exchange brokers or counterparties to satisfy these margin requirements. For additional information relating to the Company’s derivative and financial instruments, see Note 8—Derivative Instruments in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements under Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q.

COMMODITY-PRICE RISK  The Company’s most significant market risk relates to prices for oil, natural gas, and NGLs. Management expects energy prices to remain unpredictable and potentially volatile. As energy prices decline or rise significantly, revenues and cash flows are likewise affected. In addition, a non-cash write-down of the Company’s oil and gas properties or goodwill may be required if commodity prices experience a significant decline. Below is a sensitivity analysis for the Company’s commodity-price-related derivative instruments.

Derivative Instruments Held for Non-Trading Purposes  The Company had derivative instruments in place to reduce the price risk associated with future production of 35 MMBbls of oil and 98 Bcf of natural gas at June 30, 2018, with a net derivative liability position of $553 million. Based on actual derivative contractual volumes, a 10% increase in underlying commodity prices would increase the net derivative liability by $402 million, while a 10% decrease in underlying commodity prices would decrease the net derivative liability by $367 million. However, any cash received or paid to settle these derivatives would be substantially offset by the sales value of production covered by the derivative instruments.

INTEREST-RATE RISK  Borrowings, if any, under each of the 364-Day Facility, the APC RCF, the WES RCF, and the WGP RCF are subject to variable interest rates. The balance of Anadarko’s short-term and long-term debt on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets has fixed interest rates. The Company has $2.9 billion of LIBOR-based obligations that are presented on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets net of preferred investments in two noncontrolled entities. These obligations give rise to minimal net interest-rate risk because coupons on the related preferred investments are also LIBOR-based. While a 10% change in LIBOR would not materially impact the Company’s interest cost, it would affect the fair value of outstanding fixed-rate debt.
At June 30, 2018, the Company had a net derivative liability position of $1.2 billion related to interest-rate swaps. A 10% increase (decrease) in the three-month LIBOR interest-rate curve would decrease (increase) the aggregate fair value of outstanding interest-rate swap agreements by $96 million. However, any change in the interest-rate derivative gain or loss could be substantially offset by changes in actual borrowing costs associated with future debt issuances. For a summary of the Company’s outstanding interest-rate derivative positions, see Note 8—Derivative Instruments in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements under Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q.

Item 4.  Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Anadarko’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer performed an evaluation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (Exchange Act). The Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission and to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on this evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective as of June 30, 2018.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in Anadarko’s internal control over financial reporting during the second quarter of 2018 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
