Total operating costs increased to $3.2 billion, reflecting an $826 million unfavorable fair value change on integrated production marketing agreements and higher natural gas feedstock prices, partly offset by savings on unutilized gas. Cash from operating activities improved to $910 million from $665 million, while capital spending remained modest at $31 million and $253 million of debt was repaid.
At quarter‑end, the partnership held $2.1 billion of available liquidity and $14.3 billion of senior notes outstanding.
