The Partnership maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses on accounts receivable, if it is determined the Partnership will not collect all or part of the outstanding receivable balance. The Partnership regularly reviews its allowance for doubtful accounts and establishes or adjusts the allowance as necessary using the specific‑identification method. Account balances are charged to the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is no longer considered probable. The accounts charged to the allowance as of December 31, 2020 were not material to the financial statements, and there were no accounts charged to the allowance as of December 31, 2021.</span></div><div style="margin-bottom:6pt;padding-left:36pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:-18pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:700;line-height:120%">e.</span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:700;line-height:120%;padding-left:9.67pt">Natural Gas Imbalances</span></div><div style="margin-bottom:6pt;padding-left:18pt;text-align:justify"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">Natural gas imbalances occur when the actual amount of natural gas delivered to or received from a pipeline system differs from the amount of natural gas scheduled to be delivered or received.

For assets the Partnership constructs, direct costs, such as labor and materials, and indirect costs, such as overhead, interest, and an equity return component on regulated businesses as allowed by the FERC, are capitalized. The Partnership capitalizes major units of property replacements or improvements and expenses minor items.</span></div><div style="margin-bottom:6pt;padding-left:18pt;text-align:justify"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">The Partnership uses the composite (group) method to depreciate property, plant and equipment. Under this method, assets with similar lives and characteristics are grouped and depreciated as one asset. The depreciation rate is applied to the total cost of the group until its net book value equals its salvage value. All asset groups are depreciated using depreciation rates approved in the Partnership’s last rate proceeding. Currently, the Partnership’s depreciation rates vary from 2 percent to 20 percent per year. Using these rates, the remaining depreciable life of these assets ranges from less than 1 year to 50 years. Depreciation rates are reevaluated each time the Partnership files with the FERC for a change in its transportation service rates.</span></div><div style="margin-bottom:6pt;padding-left:18pt;text-align:justify"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">When property, plant and equipment are retired, the Partnership charges accumulated depreciation and amortization for the original cost of the assets in addition to the cost to remove, sell, or dispose of the assets, less their salvage value. The Partnership does not recognize a gain or loss unless an entire operating unit is sold or retired. The Partnership includes gains or losses on dispositions of operating units in income.</span></div><div style="margin-bottom:6pt;padding-left:18pt;text-align:justify"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">The Partnership capitalizes a carrying cost on funds invested in the construction of long-lived assets. This carrying cost includes a return on the investment financed by debt and equity allowance for funds used during construction (AFUDC). AFUDC is recorded based on the Partnership’s average cost of debt and equity. Capitalized carrying costs for AFUDC debt and equity are reflected as an increase in the cost of the asset on the balance sheets.</span></div><div style="margin-bottom:6pt;padding-left:18pt;text-align:justify"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">Capitalized AFUDC debt amounts are included as a reduction of interest and debt expense in the statements of income. Capitalized AFUDC equity amounts are included as other income in the statements of income. Debt amounts capitalized during the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 were $0.7 million and $0.2 million, respectively. Equity amounts capitalized during the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 were $5.1 million and $4.8 million, respectively. Amounts included in construction work in progress are not amortized until transferred into service.</span></div><div style="margin-bottom:6pt;padding-left:36pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:-18pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:700;line-height:120%">g.</span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:700;line-height:120%;padding-left:9.13pt">Revenue Recognition</span></div><div style="margin-bottom:6pt;padding-left:18pt;text-align:justify"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">The Partnership’s revenues are generated from contractual arrangements for committed capacity and from transportation of natural gas which are treated as a bundled performance obligation. Revenues earned from firm contracted capacity arrangements are recognized ratably over the term of the contract regardless of the amount of natural gas that is transported. Transportation revenues for interruptible or volumetric-based services are recognized when the service is performed. The Partnership utilizes the practical expedient of recognizing revenue as invoiced. Revenues are invoiced and paid on a monthly basis. The Partnership’s pipeline system does not take ownership of the natural gas that is transported for customers. Revenues from contracts with customers are recognized net of any taxes collected from customers, which are subsequently remitted to governmental authorities.</span></div><div style="margin-bottom:6pt;padding-left:18pt;text-align:justify"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">The Partnership's pipeline system is subject to FERC regulations and, as a result, a portion of revenues collected may be subject to refund if invoiced during an interim period when a rate proceeding is ongoing. Allowances for these potential refunds are recognized using management's best estimate based on the facts and circumstances of the proceeding. Any allowances that are recognized during the proceeding process are refunded or retained, as applicable, at the time a regulatory decision becomes final. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020 there are no refund provisions reflected in these financial statements. </span></div><div style="margin-bottom:6pt;padding-left:36pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:-18pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:700;line-height:120%">h.</span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:700;line-height:120%;padding-left:9.13pt">Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations</span></div><div style="margin-bottom:6pt;padding-left:18pt;text-align:justify"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">The Partnership accounts for asset retirement obligations pursuant to the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 410-20, </span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">Asset Retirement Obligations</span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">.

ASC 410-20 also requires the Partnership to record a corresponding asset that is depreciated over the life of the asset. Subsequent to the initial measurement of the asset retirement obligation, the obligation is to be adjusted at the end of each period to reflect the passage of time and changes in the estimated future cash flows underlying the obligation.</span></div><div style="margin-bottom:6pt;padding-left:18pt;text-align:justify"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">The fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation is recorded during the period in which the liability is incurred, if a reasonable estimate of fair value can be made. The Partnership has determined that asset retirement obligations exist for certain of its transmission assets; however, the fair value of the obligations cannot be determined because the end of the transmission system’s life is not determinable with the degree of accuracy necessary to currently establish a liability for the obligations.</span></div><div style="margin-bottom:6pt;padding-left:18pt;text-align:justify"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">The Partnership has determined it has legal obligations associated with its natural gas pipeline and related transmission facilities. The obligations relate primarily to purging and sealing the pipeline if it is abandoned. The Partnership is also required to operate and maintain its natural gas pipeline system and intends to do so as long as supply and demand for natural gas exists, which the Partnership expects for the foreseeable future. Therefore, the Partnership believes its natural gas pipeline system assets have indeterminate lives and, accordingly, has recorded no asset retirement obligation as of December 31, 2021 and 2020. The Partnership continues to evaluate its asset retirement obligations and future developments that could impact amounts it records.</span></div><div style="margin-bottom:6pt;padding-left:36pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:-18pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:700;line-height:120%">i.</span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:700;line-height:120%;padding-left:12.46pt">Income Taxes</span></div><div style="margin-bottom:6pt;padding-left:18pt;text-align:justify"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">Income taxes are not normally reflected in the financial statements of limited partnerships. The FERC’s 2005 Income Tax Policy Statement allowed pass through entities, such as the Partnership, to recover an income tax allowance, therefore, the Partnership recognized pro-forma income taxes on its records. On January 1, 2018, the Partnership adopted FERC’s Revised Policy Statement on Treatment of Income Taxes (Revised Policy Statement) issued on March 15, 2018 along with subsequent guidance issued on July 18, 2018. As a result, effective January 1, 2018, the Partnership prospectively eliminated its income tax allowance, along with its Accumulated Deferred Income Taxes (ADIT) used for rate-making purposes and tax related regulatory assets and liabilities. </span></div><div style="margin-bottom:6pt;padding-left:18pt;text-align:justify"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">On March 3, 2021, the Partnership’s parent, TCP, merged into TC Energy through a share for unit exchange taxable transaction whereby TC Energy issued and exchanged 0.70 TC Energy shares for every TCP common unit not beneficially owned by TC Energy. TCP was previously a publicly traded partnership and now the Partnership is indirectly wholly owned by corporate entities. As a result, the post-merger associated tax impacts applied on March 3, 2021 were recognized by the Partnership to reflect the difference between the book basis of the Partnership’s assets and their tax basis which included a step up as a result of the taxable transaction. This one-time adjustment resulted in an increase in the Partnership’s ADIT balance (190) amounting to $15,421,105, an increase in ADIT - Other Property (282) amounting to $20,730,891 and a corresponding offset to Other Paid-In Capital (211) amounting to $5,309,786.</span></div><div style="margin-bottom:6pt;padding-left:18pt;text-align:justify"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">Additionally, beginning March 3, 2021 the Partnership will record income taxes in accordance with the Revised Policy Statement on Income Tax Allowances permitting the accrual of income taxes on pass-through entities and associated taxes accrued are treated as deemed contributions/distributions recorded in Other Paid in Capital. Deferred income taxes are recognized for differences between the financial reporting and tax basis of assets and liabilities at enacted statutory tax rates in effect for the years in which the differences are expected to reverse. Actual income taxes could vary from these estimates due to future changes in income tax law or results from the final review of tax returns by federal or state tax authorities.</span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:700;line-height:120%"> </span></div><div style="margin-bottom:6pt;padding-left:36pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:-18pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:700;line-height:120%">j.</span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:700;line-height:120%;padding-left:12.46pt">Fair Value Measurement</span></div><div style="margin-bottom:6pt;padding-left:18pt;text-align:justify"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">For cash and cash equivalents, receivables, accounts payable and certain accrued expenses, the carrying amount approximates fair value due to the short maturities of these instruments.

As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, customer account receivables on the Balance Sheets relate substantially to customer revenue, including unbilled revenue of $8.2 million and $8.1 million, respectively. Payments for amounts billed are generally due from the customer within 30 days of billing. Rates charged for energy products and services are established by regulators that establish the transaction price as well as the allocation of price amongst the separate performance obligations. When preliminary regulated rates are permitted to be billed prior to final approval by the applicable regulator, certain revenue collected may be subject to refund and a liability for estimated refunds is accrued. In the event one of the parties to a contract has performed before the other, CGT would recognize a contract asset or contract liability depending on the relationship between CGT's performance and the customer's payment.

CGT’s income tax returns are subject to continuous examinations by federal, state and local income tax authorities that may give rise to different interpretations of these complex laws and regulations. Due to the nature of the examination process, it generally takes years before these examinations are completed and these matters are resolved. CGT recognizes the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more-likely-than-not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position are measured based on the largest benefit </span></div><div style="margin-top:2pt;text-align:justify"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:110%">that is more-likely-than-not to be realized upon ultimate settlement. Although the ultimate resolution of CGT’s federal, state and local income tax examinations is uncertain, CGT believes it has made adequate provisions for these income tax positions. The aggregate amount of any additional income tax liabilities that may result from these examinations, if any, is not expected to have a material impact on CGT’s consolidated financial results.

Before entering into a transaction, CGT analyzes the financial condition of each significant wholesale counterparty, establishes limits on the amount of unsecured credit to be extended to each counterparty and evaluates the appropriateness of unsecured credit limits on an ongoing basis.

Together, the two amendments have the effect of rescinding the methane portion of the NSPS for all segments of the oil and natural gas sector, rescinding all NSPS for the transmission and storage segment and modifying some of the NSPS volatile organic compound requirements for facilities in the production and processing segments. On June 30, 2021, President Biden signed into law a joint resolution of Congress, adopted under the Congressional Review Act, disapproving the August 2020 rule. The resolution reinstated the 2012 volatile organic compounds standards and the 2016 volatile organic compounds and methane standards for the oil and natural gas transmission and storage segments, as well as the methane standards for the production and processing segments of the oil and gas sector. On November 2, 2021, the EPA proposed rules that would reduce methane emissions from both new and existing sources in the oil and natural gas industry. The proposals would expand and strengthen emissions reduction requirements for new, modified and reconstructed oil and natural gas sources and would require states to reduce methane emissions from existing sources nationwide. The EPA took comment on the proposed rules through January 31, 2022. The EPA intends to issue a supplemental proposal in 2022, including draft regulatory text, and plans to finalize the rules by the end of 2022.

AROs are periodically adjusted to reflect changes in the estimated present value of the obligation resulting from revisions to the estimated timing or amount of the expected future cash flows. Upon settlement of the obligation, the Company eliminates the liability and, based on the actual cost to retire, may incur a gain or loss. As of December 31, 2021, the Company had recognized an ARO liability of approximately $418 thousand in Other noncurrent liabilities on the Comparative Balance Sheets.</span></div><div style="text-align:justify"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"> </span></div><div style="text-align:justify"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:700;line-height:120%">Income taxes</span></div><div style="text-align:justify"><span><br/></span></div><div style="text-align:justify"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">The Company is not subject to U.S. Federal and State income taxes due to its classification as a disregarded single-member limited liability company for U.S. tax purposes.

Through a services agreement (Services Agreement), ONEOK provides to us similar services that it provides to other affiliates and operates our assets according to our pipeline’s operating agreement. ONEOK and its affiliates provide a variety of services to us under the Services Agreement, including cash management and financial services, employee benefits provided through ONEOK’s benefit plans, legal and administrative services, insurance and office space leased in ONEOK’s headquarters building and other field locations. Where costs are specifically incurred on behalf of us, the costs are billed directly to us by ONEOK. In other situations, the costs may be allocated to us through a variety of methods, depending upon the nature of the expense and activities. For example, a service that applies equally to all employees is allocated based upon the number of employees; however, an expense benefiting us, but which has no direct basis for allocation, is allocated by the modified Distrigas method, a widely recognized method of allocating cost, which uses a combination of ratios that includes gross plant and investment, operating income and payroll expense.</span></div><div><span><br/></span></div><div><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">We hold a certificate of public convenience and necessity from the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) that authorizes us to construct and operate our pipeline system, which includes performing routine construction/abandonment activities and providing transportation service for our customers.</span></div><div><span><br/></span></div><div><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">WEC Energy Group accounted for 90% and 94% of our revenues for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

The tariff specifies the general terms and conditions of transportation service on our natural gas pipeline system. Revenues are recognized as services are provided to our customers in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to be entitled to receive in exchange for those services. Our payment terms vary by customer and contract type, including requiring payment before services are delivered to certain customers. However, the term between customer prepayments, completion of our performance obligations, invoicing and receipt of payment due is not significant.</span></div><div><span><br/></span></div><div><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">Firm service transportation contracts - </span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">We reserve a stated transportation capacity and transport natural gas for our customers.

Fixed capacity reservation fees are allocated and evenly recognized in revenue. Capacity reservation fees that vary based on a stated or implied economic index and correspond with the costs to provide our services are recognized in revenue based on a daily effective fee rate. If the capacity reservation fees vary solely as a contract feature, contract assets or liabilities are recorded for the difference between the amount recorded in revenue and the amount billed to the customer. Transportation fees are recognized in revenue as those services are provided and are dependent on the volume transported by our customer, which is at our customer’s discretion. We use the output method based on the passage of time to measure satisfaction of the performance obligation associated with our daily stand-ready services. Our firm service agreements extend for various terms with termination dates through October 2031.</span></div><div><span><br/></span></div><div><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">Interruptible transportation contracts - </span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">We agree to transport natural gas on our pipelines between the customer’s nominated receipt and delivery points if capacity is available after satisfying firm transportation service obligations. The transaction price is based on the transportation fees times the volumes transported. We use the output method based on delivery of product to the customer to measure satisfaction of the performance obligation. The total consideration for delivered volumes is recorded in revenue at the time of delivery, when the customer obtains control. We have interruptible transportation service agreements and other transportation service agreements with numerous shippers. </span></div><div><span><br/></span></div><div><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">Park-and-loan service</span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"> - A service offered to customers where we agree to receive (park) or deliver (loan) natural gas at a nominated point for delivery to or receipt from the customer at the same point at a specified later date.

We assess creditworthiness of our counterparties on an ongoing basis and require security, including prepayments and other forms of collateral, when appropriate. Outstanding customer receivables are reviewed regularly for possible nonpayment indicators, and allowances for credit losses are recorded based upon management’s estimate of collectability, current conditions and supportable forecasts at each balance sheet date. We have not recorded allowances for credit losses as of December 31, 2021 and 2020.</span></div><div><span><br/></span></div><div><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:700;line-height:120%">Inventory -</span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"> Account 154 “Plant materials and operating supplies” are valued at average cost.

These imbalances can be settled through cash outs (purchases or sales at the current month index price) or in-kind (with natural gas at some time in the future), subject to the terms of our tariff agreement. Commodity imbalances can include imbalances with associated companies. We account for our fuel cost, which represents the difference between gas retained from our customers and the gas consumed in operations, through a tracking mechanism and record it as an imbalance. Our fuel costs are expected to be recovered or refunded in subsequent periods. We value these imbalances due to or from shippers and operators each month at the current market price. </span></div><div><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">Imbalances due from others are reported on the balance sheet as miscellaneous current and accrued assets.

Generally, the cost of property retired or sold, plus removal costs, less salvage, is charged to accumulated depreciation. Gains and losses from sales or transfers of an entire operating unit or system of our properties are recognized in income. Maintenance and repairs are charged directly to expense.</span></div><div><span><br/></span></div><div><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">The debt portion of AFUDC represents the cost of borrowed funds used to finance construction activities. We capitalize interest costs during the construction or upgrade of qualifying assets. The debt portion of AFUDC is recorded as a reduction to interest expense. The equity portion of AFUDC represents the capitalization of the estimated average cost of equity used during the construction of major projects and is recorded in the cost of our regulated properties and as a credit to the allowance for equity funds used during construction. </span></div><div><span><br/></span></div><div><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">Our properties are primarily transmission assets, which are depreciated using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives. Generally, we apply composite depreciation rates to functional groups of property having similar economic lives. For the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, the composite depreciation rate for transmission plant was 2%, and the rates for general plant ranged between 2% and 20%. We periodically conduct depreciation studies to assess the economic lives of our assets. These depreciation studies are completed as a part of our rate proceedings or tariff filings, and the changes in economic lives, if applicable, are implemented prospectively when the new rates are approved. Changes in the estimated economic lives of our property, plant and equipment could have a material effect on our financial position or results of operations.</span></div><div><span><br/></span></div><div><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">Property, plant and equipment on our balance sheets include construction work in process for capital projects that have not yet been placed in service and, therefore, are not being depreciated.

Our qualitative goodwill impairment analysis performed as of July 1, 2021, did not result in an impairment charge and subsequent to that date, no event has occurred indicating that the implied fair value of our reporting unit is less than the carrying value of our net assets. </span></div><div><span><br/></span></div><div><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:115%">As part of our goodwill impairment test, we assess qualitative factors (including macroeconomic conditions, industry and market considerations, cost factors and overall financial performance) to determine whether it was more likely than not that the fair value of our reporting unit was less than the carrying amount. If further testing is necessary or a quantitative test is elected, we perform a Step 1 analysis. In a Step 1 analysis, an assessment is made by comparing the fair value of our reporting unit with its carrying amount, including goodwill. If the carrying value of our reporting unit exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to that excess, limited to the total amount of goodwill.</span></div><div><span><br/></span></div><div><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">Guardian has one reporting unit comprising the entire company. To estimate the fair value of our reporting unit, we use two generally accepted valuation approaches, an income approach and a market approach, using assumptions consistent with a market participant’s perspective. Under the income approach, we use anticipated cash flows over a period of years plus a terminal value and discount these amounts to their present value using appropriate discount rates. The forecasted cash flows are based on probability weighted-average possible future cash flows for our reporting unit over a period of years. Under the market approach, we apply EBITDA multiples to forecasted EBITDA. The multiples used are consistent with recent market transactions. </span></div><div><span><br/></span></div><div><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">Our goodwill impairment analysis performed as of July 1, 2021, did not result in an impairment charge and subsequent to that date, no event has occurred indicating that the implied fair value of our reporting unit is less than the carrying value of our net assets.</span></div><div><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">Goodwill of $2.1 million was included in utility plant in our balance sheets as of December 31, 2021 and 2020.</span></div><div><span><br/></span></div><div><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">We assess our long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that an asset’s carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment is indicated if the carrying amount of a long-lived asset exceeds the sum of the undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the asset. If an impairment is indicated, we record an impairment loss equal to the difference between the carrying value and the fair value of the long-lived asset. </span></div><div><span><br/></span></div><div><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:115%">In 2021, there were no events or changes in circumstances to indicate that our assets’ carrying amounts may not be recoverable. Our natural gas transportation capacity contracted has not been significantly impacted in 2021 and 2020 by market conditions and the Coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic, as our end users rely on natural gas to support their business regardless of commodity price fluctuations. We continue to experience stable earnings with all of our transportation capacity fully contracted with firm commitments, and have not experienced any indicators that this will change in the future. We determined that there were no asset impairments in 2021 and 2020.</span></div><div><span><br/></span></div><div><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">Our impairment tests require the use of assumptions and estimates such as industry economic factors and the profitability of future business strategies.

Certain examples of types of regulatory guidance include costs for fuel and losses, acquisition costs, contributions in aid of construction, charges for depreciation, and gains or losses on disposition of assets. This allows us to stabilize rates over time rather than passing such costs on to the customer for immediate recovery. Actions by regulatory authorities could have an effect on the amount we may charge our customers. Any difference in the amount recoverable and the amount deferred is recorded as income or expense at the time of the regulatory action.</span></div><div><span><br/></span></div><div><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">At December 31, 2021 and 2020, we recorded regulatory assets of $5.3 million and $5.2 million, in Account 182.3 “Other regulatory assets,” respectively, and regulatory liabilities of $59.5 million and $60.9 million in Account 254 “Other regulatory liabilities,” respectively. Our regulatory assets and liabilities are included in other regulatory assets, miscellaneous deferred debits and other regulatory liabilities on our balance sheet. Our regulatory assets/liabilities are related to the deferred tax liability for the equity component of AFUDC and our fuel and electric cost recovery trackers, which are being recovered from/returned to our customers as a result of approved rate proceedings over varying time periods up to 50 years.

ONEOK sponsors welfare plans that provide postretirement medical and life insurance benefits to certain employees hired prior to 2017 who retire with at least five years of service.

We recognize the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation in the period when it is incurred if a reasonable estimate of the fair value can be made. We are not able to estimate reasonably the fair value of the asset retirement obligations for portions of our assets, primarily certain pipeline assets, because the settlement dates are indeterminable given our expected continued use of the assets with proper maintenance. We expect our pipeline assets, for which we are unable to estimate reasonably the fair value of the asset retirement obligation, will continue in operation as long as supply and demand for natural gas exists. Based on the widespread use of natural gas for heating and cooking activities for residential users and electric-power generation for commercial users, we expect supply and demand to exist for the foreseeable future.</span></div><div><span><br/></span></div><div><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:700;line-height:120%">Contingencies</span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"> -</span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:700;line-height:120%"> </span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">Our accounting for contingencies covers a variety of business activities, including contingencies for legal and environmental exposures. We accrue these contingencies when our assessments indicate that it is probable that a liability has been incurred or an asset will not be recovered and an amount can be estimated reasonably. We expense legal fees as incurred and base our legal liability estimates on currently available facts and our estimates of the ultimate outcome or resolution. Accruals for estimated losses from environmental remediation obligations generally are recognized no later than completion of a remediation feasibility study. Recoveries of environmental remediation costs from other parties are recorded as assets when their receipt is deemed probable. Our expenditures for environmental evaluation, mitigation, remediation and compliance to date have not been significant in relation to our financial position or results of operations, and our expenditures related to environmental matters had no material effect on earnings or cash flows during 2021 and 2020.

Quarterly, MountainWest Pipeline assesses their AROs to determine if circumstances indicate that estimates of the amounts or timing of future cash flows associated with retirement activities have changed. AROs are adjusted when significant changes in the amounts or timing of future cash flows are identified.

federal and state income tax purposes. As a result, Southwest Gas obtained a step-up in the bases of the assets acquired for income tax purposes, without succeeding to the holding period, accounting methods, or historical income tax liabilities associated with Respondent. Accordingly, all historical deferred income taxes were removed, and were redetermined on the date of acquisition, December 31, 2021, resulting in a net adjustment to equity of $244.6 million. The deferred income tax assets and liabilities are based on a preliminary purchase price.

Prior to its change in parent, MountainWest Pipeline reported an estimate of ARO liabilities associated with the interim replacement of pipeline components on its consolidated balance sheets, based on projected cash flows, including projected usage and maintenance of its assets. In connection with the acquisition of MountainWest Pipeline by Southwest Gas, new management assessed the information available to develop an estimate. Factors assessed included indeterminant interim removal dates based on maintenance of the entity’s assets, management’s expected use of the assets in place, and expectations around renewal of easements and rights of way. On the basis of this evaluation, new management concluded that it did not possess information of sufficient precision to reasonably estimate the ARO liability. New management’s assessment is viewed as a change in estimate.</span></div><div><span><br/></span></div><div><span

Currently, management does not anticipate that any potential liability arising from such proceedings would have a material effect on the financial position, liquidity or results of operations of MountainWest Pipeline. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, Respondent had no material legal proceedings or governmental examinations requiring the recognition of a liability. In March 2022, a complaint in U.S. district court was served on MountainWest Pipeline and a number of other defendants, alleging royalty payments due.
