The pro forma financial information has not been presented for DTE Energy because the effects of the acquisition were not material to the Consolidated Statements of Operations. In conjunction with the above acquisition, DTE Sustainable Generation closed on a purchase and sale agreement with Heritage Sustainable Energy in January 2020 to acquire an additional renewable energy project for approximately $33 million paid in cash. Gas Storage and Pipelines Segment Acquisition On December 4, 2019, DTE Energy closed on the purchase of midstream natural gas assets in support of its strategy to continue to grow and earn competitive returns for shareholders. DTE Energy purchased 100 percent of M5 Louisiana Gathering, LLC and its wholly owned subsidiaries from Momentum Midstream and Indigo Natural Resources. The acquisition includes the Blue Union and LEAP assets which provide natural gas gathering and other midstream services to producers located primarily in Louisiana. The fair value of the consideration provided for the entities acquired was $2.74 billion and included $2.36 billion paid in cash and an estimated $380 million of contingent consideration to be paid upon completion of the LEAP gathering pipeline. A liability for the contingent consideration payment was recorded upon acquisition and adjusted each period for accretion. Refer to the Acquisition related deferred payment line in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position for the liability balance for the respective reporting periods. Accretion expense of $1 million and $5 million was recorded for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively. In July 2020, the LEAP gathering pipeline achieved the final milestone of its construction and consideration of $385 million was paid on July 27, 2020 in two equal installments. The acquisition was financed through the issuance of Equity Units, common stock, and Senior Notes. The acquired assets are part of DTE Energy's non-utility Gas Storage and Pipelines segment. The acquisition was accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting for business combinations. The allocation of the purchase price included in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position is preliminary and may be revised up to one year from the date of acquisition due to adjustments in the estimated fair value of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed. The purchase price is subject to resolution of any indemnification claims that might be deducted from the remaining $14 million of cash consideration paid and held in escrow. The excess purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired was classified as goodwill. As of September 30, 2020, total goodwill was approximately $172 million, including $1 million resulting from working capital adjustments recorded during the nine months ended September 30, 2020. DTE Energy cannot estimate the potential for any further revisions to the purchase price allocation for the remainder of 2020. The factors contributing to the recognition of goodwill are based on various strategic benefits that are expected to be realized from the Blue Union and LEAP acquisition. The acquisition will provide DTE Energy with a platform for midstream growth and access to further investment opportunities in the Haynesville basin. The goodwill is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes. The preliminary allocation of the purchase price is based on estimated fair values of the Blue Union and LEAP assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition, December 4, 2019. The components of the preliminary purchase price allocation, inclusive of purchase accounting adjustments, are as follows: (In millions) Assets Cash $ 62 Accounts receivable 31 Property, plant, and equipment, net 1,035 Goodwill 172 Customer relationship intangibles 1,473 Other current assets 1 $ 2,774 Liabilities Accounts payable $ 26 Acquisition related deferred payment 380 Other current liabilities 2 Asset retirement obligations 9 $ 417 Total cash consideration $ 2,357 The intangible assets recorded as a result of the acquisition pertain to existing customer relationships, which were valued at approximately $1.47 billion as of the acquisition date. The fair value of the intangible assets acquired was estimated by applying the income approach. The income approach is based upon discounted projected future cash flows attributable to the existing contracts and agreements. The fair value measurement is based on significant unobservable inputs, including management estimates and assumptions, and thus represents a Level 3 measurement, pursuant to the applicable accounting guidance. Key estimates and inputs include revenue and expense projections and discount rates based on the risks associated with the entities. The intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over a period of 40 years, which is based on the number of years the assets are expected to economically contribute to the business. The expected economic benefit incorporates existing customer contracts with a weighted-average amortization life of 13 years and expected renewal rates, based on the estimated volume and production lives of gas resources in the region. DTE Energy incurred $18 million of direct transaction costs for the year ended December 31, 2019. These costs were primarily related to advisory fees and were included in Operation and maintenance in DTE Energy's Consolidated Statements of Operations. Additionally, DTE Energy incurred $49 million of issuance costs related to the acquisition financing, of which $10 million were included in Mortgage bonds, notes, and other, and $39 million were included in Common Stock in DTE Energy's Consolidated Statements of Financial Position. DTE Energy's 2019 Consolidated Statements of Operations included Operating Revenues  Non-utility operations of $15 million and Net Income of $3 million associated with the acquired entities for the one-month period following the acquisition date, excluding the $18 million transaction costs described above. The pro forma financial information was not presented for DTE Energy because the effects of the acquisition were not material to the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
