Transported volumes reflected increases of 157,060 MMBtu/d on the Trunkline pipeline as a result of increased backhaul deliveries, 153,401 MMBtu/d on the Tiger pipeline due to an increase in production in the Haynesville Shale, and 142,207 MMBtu/d on the Transwestern pipeline as a result of weather driven demand in the West and opportunities in the Texas intrastate market. The remainder of the increase was primarily due to the Rover pipeline, which was placed in partial service on August 31, 2017. Segment Adjusted EBITDA. For the three months ended September 30, 2017 compared to the same period last year, Segment Adjusted EBITDA related to our interstate transportation and storage segment decreased due to the net effect of the following:
| | • | a decrease in reservation revenues of $16 million on the Panhandle, Trunkline and Transwestern pipelines and a decrease of $3 million in gas parking service related revenues on the Panhandle and Trunkline pipelines, primarily due to lack of customer demand driven by weak spreads and mild weather. In addition, revenues on the Tiger pipeline decreased $3 million due to contract restructuring. These decreases were offset by $10 million of revenues from the placement in partial service of the Rover pipeline effective August 31, 2017; and |
| | • | an increase in operating expenses of $3 million primarily due to higher ad valorem taxes resulting from higher valuations; offset by |
| | • | an increase in income from unconsolidated joint ventures of $9 million primarily due to a legal settlement and lower operating expenses on Citrus. |
