Investors should note that this filing is not introducing new operational events but rather restating historical financial data to reflect these significant structural changes. The company has realigned its reportable segments to Natural Gas Gathering and Processing, Natural Gas Liquids, and Natural Gas Pipelines, beginning with its Q1 2014 filing.
