  • Higher NGL exchange-services volumes from recently connected natural gas processing plants in the Williston Basin, Powder River Basin and Mid-Continent regions, and additional revenues from minimum volume obligations;
  • Higher NGL transportation margins, primarily from the acquisition of the West Texas LPG pipeline system; and
  • Higher margins due to changes in contract mix and higher natural gas volumes gathered, processed and sold, and higher NGL volumes sold, in the natural gas gathering and processing segment; offset partially by
