 on the terms of the policies and the nature of our claims, and (iv) the financial strength of the insurance carriers as determined by an independent credit ratings agency. However, at that time we also noted that various factors could impact the timing and amount of recovery of our insurance receivable, including future developments that adversely impacted our assessment of the strength of our coverage claims, the outcome of any dispute resolution proceedings with respect to our coverage claims (including arbitration proceedings) and the extent to which insurers may become insolvent in the future. A binding arbitration hearing with respect to our insurance claim against insurers representing $175 million of our total $225 million reimbursement claim concluded in early October 2024, and the arbitration panel’s final and binding decision was returned in January 2025. The panel ruled that a substantial portion of our claims subject to the proceeding were not covered under the applicable policy and therefore we were not entitled to reimbursement of our $175 million claim against the applicable insurers. With respect to our remaining $50 million claim against different insurance carriers, we now regard collection of those claims as being less than “probable.” As a result, we have written off the entire $225 million receivable and will recognize any future collections as and if they are received.

In connection with the foregoing, including the 2024 Settlements, we have made adjustments to our total estimated Line 901 costs and the portion of such costs that we believe are probable of recovery from insurance carriers, net of deductibles. Effective as of December 31, 2024, we estimate that the aggregate total costs we have incurred or will incur with respect to the Line 901 incident will be approximately $870 million, which includes actual and projected emergency response and clean-up costs, natural resource damage assessments, fines and penalties incurred, certain third-party claims settlements (including the Class Action Settlement and the 2024 Settlements), and estimated costs associated with our remaining Line 901 lawsuits and claims as described above, as well as estimates for certain legal fees and statutory interest where applicable. We accrue such estimates of aggregate total costs to “Field operating costs” in our Consolidated Statements of Operations. This estimate considers our prior experience in environmental investigation and remediation matters and available data from, and in consultation with, our environmental and other specialists, as well as currently available
