That is a misconception that many investors have. That is true for reits, but::::: But unlike a REIT, which is required to distribute 90% of its income to shareholders, an MLP only has to distribute the amount set forth in the partnership agreement – but that amount can increase. https://www.wyattresearch.com/energy/mlps/

The big risk to the pipeline companies in this environment is Bankruptcies in their client base causing evaporation or restructuring of their fees. Also the distributions are not all return of capital and even the return of capital is not always free from taxes. The return of Capital reduces ones cost basis. Upon the sale of the shares this increases the profits and unless one is in a very low taxable income situation this can raise both their tax bracket and taxes owed. I do like the MLPs and do think the risk reward is excellent, but some folks do not.

Being an MLP they are required to pay out a high percentage of earnings as distributions which are instead of dividends and they can not suspend as long as they made earnings.

Plains American has the largest storing Capacity at the largest storing hub in the USA ...Cushing OK where they own 25% of the storage. They get paid to store oil. It was 20 cent barrel now 50 cents. $360 mil extra earnings straight to the bottom line. The other contango play is owners of super tankers the day rate just went from $90,000 a day to $180,000 striking it rich in the oil glut. PAA gets paid to move oil so volume of oil moving is what matters to their business not price of oil. This is one baby that was just thrown out with the bath water. Those pipelines will be paying profits for decades. The fat distributions are a return of capital so not taxed. The only better investment than pipelines are timberland because the trees always grow no matter what and like oil always need timber. They are also tax havens.
Your welcome!

Its going to go back up.. just a matter of when

So what do you think is going to happen to the PAA stock price as the crude prices decline and the pipelines start storing oil that no one wants now?

In case you are interested PAA - After a Gusher of Growth, 2020 Is Going to Be a Tough Year for Pipeline Stocks

$PAA U.S. WTI crude oil surpasses $65/bbl for the first time since December 2014 before pulling back slightly, after data showed the 10th straight weekly drop in U.S. crude stockpiles.

WTI reached a high of $65.42/bbl, with its discount to Brent narrowing to $5/bbl vs. ~$6.50 at the beginning of the year; Brent also hits a new three-year high, climbing to $70.43/bbl.

The 1.07M-barrel U.S. drawdown was led by a 3.15M-barrel drop at the Cushing, Okla., storage hub, with traders citing a ramp-up in volumes on Plains All American's (PAA +0.4%) 200K bbl/day Diamond pipeline from Cushing to Memphis, Tenn.

Cushing stocks have fallen by more than 12M barrels over the past four weeks to 39.24M barrels and are now 40% lower than a year ago.

$PAA Plains All American Pipeline (NYSE:PAA) says it received sufficient binding commitments on its initial open season and will proceed with construction of the Cactus II pipeline system connecting the Permian Basin to Corpus Christi, Tex.

The Cactus II system would add two pipelines to PAA's existing Cactus network, expanding crude capacity to as much as 585K bbl/day from 390K bbl/day currently; PAA hopes to complete the project by Q3 2019.

PAA says it also received sufficient customer interest to conduct a second binding open season related to Cactus II.

Plains All American (PAA) looks well positioned to continue growing its earnings and distributable cash flows in the future. The company has already started to turn around, as evident from its latest quarterly results. However, I believe Plains All American stock is not a buy yet, even though the MLP’s units are hovering near 52-week lows of $18.38.

$PAA Analysts bullish as Plains All American cuts distributions, debt

Plains All American Pipeline (PAA +1.4%) is higher after analysts issue mostly positive reviews of the company's late Friday move to cut its annual distribution to investors to $1.20/unit from $2.20; general partner Plains GP Holdings (PAGP +0.7%) also is slightly higher.

The cut will send PAA's yield to 6% from 10% but it apparently was priced in, and analysts think the distribution can grow in 2019 if the company executes on its debt reduction plans.

Raymond James upgrades PAA to Strong Buy from Buy with a $24 price target, seeing "the newly reduced distribution and faster deleveraging as providing a strong base for both the company to operate from and from which investor expectations can set a reasonable floor."

BMO Capital hikes its rating to Outperform with a $25 target, "dependent on management execution of its fee-based strategy with no need for meaningful Supply & Logistics rebound."

Plains All American announces open season for Permian Basin Pipeline

Plains All American (NYSE:PAA) announces an open season for committed crude oil pipeline capacity from the Permian Basin to the Cushing, Okla., storage hub.

The open season has the potential to add as many as 350K bbl/day of Permian Basin Pipeline takeaway capacity.

Subject to sufficient commitments from shippers and receipt of any necessary permits and regulatory approvals, PAA says the pipeline could be operational in mid-2019.

Plains All American Pipeline (NYSE:PAA) -1.5% AH, following a 13.2% plunge in today's regular session, as it fell short of expectations for both Q4 earnings and revenues.

PAA reports Q4 adjusted EBITDA of $563M, down 5% Y/Y, while FY 2015 adjusted EBITDA was $2.17B; in November, the company had forecast a range with a midpoint of $595M in Q4 EBITDA and $2.2B in full-year EBITDA.

Wow this is just like another stock I own today - ouch - not in this one but the new lows on oil are having a much bigger effect than I would have thought on a pipeline company.

Plains All American Pipeline (PAA +0.2%), responsible for an oil spill that blackened California beaches, kept shoddy records on emergency training and how it would protect pristine coastline in the event of a break, federal regulators said Friday.

Among its findings, the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration said PAA failed to properly document pressure tests on tanks and failed to keep adequate records on how it would prevent spills in sensitive environmental areas, or respond if one did occur.

The cause of the California pipeline break is still under investigation, and prosecutors are considering possible charges.

I'm sure there is a rich family history to that story. Would enjoy to hear it sometime. The advantage I'm sure the family would agree is that downcycle are the best times to buy. The ol' buy when theirs blood in the streets or something. Midstream in many cases is getting hammered to although the their volumes are staying high or growing so the value proposition is strong.

Only safe place to bet as far as I'm concerned. My wife's
family is in the oil business since 1923 and they say damned
if they know where the price of oil is going. The price to
move it can at least be guessed. And insurance can be
purchased for some protection, and you can be sure PAA
will have it.

Certainly has created attractive price points. These issues have to be better handled and I'm sure heads have rolled but the pipeline business is going to be strong as ever next few years.

Yes, I know. Funny thing about that is that the pps remained
unchanged. I sold out when the news of the spill hit the TV
news and watched the pps climb $2 a share and stay there
for a couple days while the PR's were pumped out daily by
the PAA investor relations office. Various analysts pointed
out that the shut down pipeline contributed only a tiny
fraction of the PAA bottom line, and even considering the
cleanup cost and a hefty fine from CA (disregarding completely
any responsibility the state had to permit and inspect, by the
way) that could be expected, the company was in good shape.
So I doubled the position I originally held, as I loved the
dividend. I admit I bought back too soon, as now I am down
a few bucks. If it goes down more, I will add more. Word is
that this spill really didn't do much damage. Nasty secret
in CA is that oil bubbles to the surface sometimes when the
constantly moving earth plates grind and open up seams
in the ocean floor. The Hollywood faux environmentalists
can't seem to stop it no matter how many carbons they put
in the air from their private jets as they travel to protest.
Go PAA.

Plains All American Pipeline (PAA -1.1%) is facing increased scrutiny from U.S. regulators and lawmakers over the recent oil spill off the coast near Santa Barbara, Calif., which released up to 101K gallons and washed up goo on beaches as far as 100 miles away.

Safety first. There is no excuse but boy can CA make a mountain out of a mole hill at times.

CA officials once again prove insensitive over caution is the
way to proceed out of state budgetary woes. Or similar title.

Plains All American Pipeline (NYSE:PAA) braces for intensified scrutiny over the "insufficient" response to the recent oil spill off the California coast, as U.S. Sens. Boxer and Feinstein question why the ruptured pipeline lacked an automatic shut-off valve and whether some workers were left on the sidelines while the leak spread.

Agreed on all points friend. It's going to happen regardless but it's important to embrace safe practices and technology to prevent and react. Keystone won't happen with this administration at all I'm sure you could agree but it needs to happen soon as do the acceleration of crude exporting and pipelines to Mexico.

wow that does not help the Keystone line on getting approved but we have more spills with rail cars than anything. Being on the coast and in the water makes it a very serious spill.

going to be a heck f a clean up as I am sure the amount spilled is much larger than initial reporting

Not looking good for PAA, gapping down in the a.m. IMO.

Oil from a ruptured pipeline near Santa Barbara, Calif., leaked into the Pacific Ocean earlier today, spreading into a four-mile-long slick and fouling an area beach.

The cause and exact amount of the spill are unknown, but it could reach more than 500 barrels (~21K gallons), according to the Governor’s Office of Emergency Services.

The pipeline, owned by Plains All American Pipeline (NYSE:PAA), has been shut off.

Plains All American (PAA) is engaged in the transportation, storage, terminalling and marketing of crude oil, refined products and NGL.

The company operates 18,000 miles of pipelines and gathering systems transporting active crude oil, NGL and refined products, has 20 million barrels of storage capacity, 70 trucks and 424 trailers, 83 transport and storage barges and 46 transport tugs through its interest in Settoon Towing.

The company currently has 93 billion cubic feet of natural gas storage capacity, fractionation facility (260,000 bbl/day), natural gas processing (8 Bcf), and 4,200 railcars.

The company has made acquisitions of US$9.3 billion worth since 2001-2012 with the primary focus to establish/expand footprint in existing or new core areas.

The company also has plans to invest US$4.1 billion in areas of recent and anticipated crude oil production growth including Canada and United States (Bakken, Rockies, Southern Texas/Eagle Ford, and Permian Basin).

The company intends to further enhance its flexibility by continuing to expand its rail assets and related staff to accommodate the growth.

The company just announced it is raising its distribution payout by just under ten percent (9.8%) Y/Y and is upping the midpoint of its guidance for EBITDA in 2013 by 5%.

The company has beat earnings estimates five of the last six quarters and consensus earnings estimates have gone up nicely over the past two months.

After the latest distribution increase, PAA yields more than 5% and has more than doubled its payouts over the last decade by frequent and consistent distribution raises.

The company recently bought $125mm of storage assets from Chesapeake Energy (CHK). It also spent $500mm recently to buy crude oil rail terminals which I think is good strategic move given oil moved by rail improved better than 40% in 2012 as pipelines have failed to keep up with the huge increase in domestic oil production. Analysts expect six percent sales growth after almost 15% sales increases in FY2012.

Plain All American buys Chesapeake crude oil and condensate gathering assets for about $125M
Associated Press – Thu, Dec 13, 2012 11:55 AM EST.. .

http://finance.yahoo.com/news/plains-american-buys-oil-assets-165559335.html

HOUSTON (AP) -- Plains All American Pipeline LP said Thursday that it bought some crude oil and condensate gathering assets located in the Eagle Ford oil and gas formation in South Texas from Chesapeake Energy Corp. for about $125 million.

The Houston-based pipeline operator said the assets include about 40 miles of crude oil and condensate gathering pipelines with a throughput capacity of about 50,000 barrels per day, 150,000 barrels of existing crude oil and condensate storage capacity, 300,000 barrels of storage capacity under construction and a truck unloading terminal.

Plains said they will connect with its existing crude oil and condensate gathering systems.

The company also said Thursday that it closed on its $500 million acquisition of four rail terminals used to store and transfer crude oil.

The terminals were bought from U.S. Development Group, a privately held company that owns crude oil, petrochemical and ethanol terminal and storage centers across the U.S. and Canada. The deal also includes one terminal under development and various contractual arrangements, Plains said.

Plains owns a network of about 18,000 miles of liquids pipelines across the country. By owning the terminals, the company will also have more control over the oil it moves and will avoid storage costs at rented terminals.

In midday trading, Plains shares fell 61 cents to $44.56, while Chesapeake shares fell 21 cents to $16.75.
