Over the intermediate to long-term, we remain very constructive on the outlook for the North American crude oil industry. Near term, we are cautious as high crude oil and refined product inventory levels will influence oilfield activity and crude oil production levels over the next six to twelve months and competition for the marginal barrel will intensify. Additionally, our current forecast assumes that our All American pipeline in California will not be returned to service during the balance of 2015.

Second-quarter 2015 Transportation adjusted segment profit raised 12% as compared to comparable 2014 results. This enhance was driven by earnings from our 50% interest in the BridgeTex pipeline attained in November 2014 and higher crude oil pipeline volumes associated with recently accomplished organic growth projects primarily within the Permian Basin and Eagle Ford producing regions.

Second-quarter 2015 Facilities adjusted segment profit raised by 6% over comparable 2014 results. This enhance was primarily due to lower field operating costs associated with our NGL fractionation and Canadian natural gas processing activities.
