MIDSTREAMNEWSServing the Midstream Marketplace with News, Insight & Opportunities

BENTEK: Midcon prices improve on new pipeline capacityAccording to a new report “Mayhem in the Midcon,” released by BENTEK Energy,

a number of factors are converging this year that will result in major shifts within the 13-state Midcontinent gas market. The most significant development is the completion

of 3.0 BCFD of pipeline takeaway capacity during 2009 that willprovide producers new marketing opportunities and improve

regional pricing differentials. At the same time this new capacity is being placed into service, the REX East

pipeline expansion is expected to becompleted, tying together the marketsin Chicago, Michigan and Ohio withthe supply areas in the Rockies,Midcon and Southeast/Gulf.

Further complicating the market dynamics is a significant reduction in drilling activ-ity, resulting in production declines within the region and in some of the areas that bringgas to the Midcontinent.

“Midcontinent gas flow patterns have been in a state of flux over the past two yearsbecause of the REX West pipeline and the rapid growth of unconventional productionacross the region.

El Paso’s Ruby Pipeline

El Paso seeks Ruby Pipeline partnersEl Paso Pipeline Partners is talking to potential partners to help fund its Ruby

Pipeline. Pacific Gas and Electric had originally signed on, but backed out last May. Still,the project remains on schedule to come online in March 2011.

Ruby would carry as much as 1.5 BCFD (expandable to 2.0 BCFD) fromthe Opal hub to an interconnect in Malin, Oregon. El Paso has already secured1.1 BCFD of firm capacity. El Paso has already committed $1.0 billion of the

project’s $3.0 billion price tag.In the first quarter, El Paso also invested $8.5 million on the Piceance Lateral expan-

sion in Wyoming. The partnershipsaid it has more than adequate liq-uidity to execute on its projectinventory well into 2010.

El Paso reported first quarter net income of $46 million, compared with $27.6 mil-lion a year ago due to increased equity investments following the acquisition of additionalinterests in Colorado Interstate Gas and Southern Natural Gas last year.

El Paso Pipeline Partners owns 40% and 25% of CIG and SNG, respectively. Equityearnings from CIG were $16.5 million in the quarter, compared with $5.7 million a yearago, while SNG generated equity earnings of $12.5 million for the quarter, compared with$9.4 million for the first quarter of 2008.

El Paso has already committed $1.0 billionof Ruby’s $3.0 billion price tag.

SemGroup eyes third-quarter bankruptcy exitWill emerge as publicly-owned company

Midstream firm SemGroup, LP has filed a “Plan of Reorganization” with the U.S.Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware in an effort to exit bankruptcy by the thirdquarter of this year. CEO Terry Ronan said the plan will allow SemGroup to emerge with

a stronger balance sheet, reduced debt, and more efficient operations, adding thatthe company will remain a leader in the midstream energy business.

SemGroup – previously the 14th largest privately held company in the U.S.– will now emerge as a publicly traded company. The new plan will transfer all of the equityof the reorganized company to its creditors, who will also receive as much as $2.7 billionfrom the company.

In return, SemGroup will get $500 million in working capital from a group of priorlenders with which to re-enter the crude marketing business. The company will also refi-nance an existing $120 million secured facility to partially fund construction of the WhiteCliffs pipeline.

SemGroup said it will maintain its headquarters in Tulsa, and remain separated fromformer subsidiary Semgroup Energy Partners LP.

Pipelines & ProcessingSempra Energy chairman hails outstanding quarter

Sempra Energy expects to begin receiving cargoes at its Cameron LNG facility inLouisiana by June, with commercial operations slated to commence sometime in the third

quarter. The move will boost Sempra’s LNG segment – which also includes facil-ities in Baja California and Port Arthur, Texas – and which recorded a net loss of$7.0 million in the first quarter 2009, although this figure was up from a loss of

$9 million in last year's first quarter. Overall, however, the San Diego-based midstream company raised its first quarter

earnings 40% from a year ago to $316 million. Chairman Donald Felsinger called the com-pany’s results “outstanding.”

The San Diego Gas & Electricbusiness increased earnings to $99million in 2009 from $74 million inQ1 2008. Earnings rose due to thefavorable impact of SDG&E's rate case, which was approved by the California PublicUtilities Commission and went into effect in the third quarter 2008.

First quarter earnings for Southern California Gas Co. were $59 million, comparedwith $57 million in the prior-year's quarter. Pipelines & Storage segment earnings rose42% to $37 million, due primarily to increased contributions from Mexico operations andMobile Gas.

But Sempra’s biggest earner was its RBS Commodities segment, whose earningsnearly doubled in 2009 to $114 million. During the most recent quarter, the RBS SempraCommodities joint venture benefited from improved results in both gas and oil marketing.

Sempra Generation's earnings were $43 million in the first quarter 2009, comparedwith $45 million in last year's first quarter. In April, Sempra Generation announced con-struction of a new 48-megawatt expansion of its existing 10-MW power-generation facilitynear Las Vegas. The combined 58-MW installation would become the largest operationalphotovoltaic solar-power facility in North America. Construction will commence afterSempra Generation contracts with customers for the facility's power output.

PNGS increases Gulf Coast storage capacityPAA Natural Gas Storage is conducting a non-binding open season for 2 BCF of

firm storage service to be available beginning in the second quarter of 2010 at its PinePrairie salt-cavern storage facility in Evangeline Parish, Louisiana.

Phase I consists of three storage caverns with total permitted working capacity of 24 BCF. The first two cavern wells have been placed into service with current capacity of14 BCF. Cavern well three is expected to come on line in the second quarter of 2010.

Earlier this year, PNGS filed for an additional 24-BCF Phase II expansion at PinePrairie, which would entail the construction of two new 10-BCF caverns and the expansionof cavern wells two and three from 8 to 10 BCF each. Pending receipt of requisite permits,PNGS is targeting to bring this capacity into service in stages beginning in 2011.

Pine Prairie has bi-directional connectivity to eight major pipeline systems servingthe northeastern, midwestern and southeastern gas markets. PNGS is indirectly owned 50%by Plains All American Pipeline and 50% by Vulcan Capital.

DCP Midstream completes Discovery Pipeline repairsDCP Midstream Partners spent the first quarter repairing its Discovery offshore

gathering system, which was damaged during Hurricane Ike. DCP also finished upgradingits Wyoming gathering system and returned its East Texas assets, including the Carthage

Hub, to normal operation following a February fire. In April, The part-nership acquired 25.1% in the East Texas assets from parent companyDCP Midstream.

DCP’s natural gas services segment increased its gross margin by $2.1 million froma year ago to $30.6 million for the first quarter, reflecting the addition of Michigan assetsand volume growth in the Piceance Basin, partially offset by lower gas throughput volumesin North Louisiana.

The San Diego-based midstream companyraised its first quarter earnings 40% from ayear ago to $316 million.

Pipelines & ProcessingEnbridge gains support for LaCrosse Pipeline

Enbridge Inc. held a successful non-binding open season for its proposed EnbridgeLaCrosse Pipeline, which will transport 1.0 to 1.8 BCFD from Carthage, Texas, toWashington Parish in Southeastern Louisiana.

Enbridge will now move forward with the project, which could intercon-nect with as many as 12 pipelines, depending on shipper inter-est. Enbridge may also extend the pipeline to Florida Gas

Transmission's Station 10 near Wiggins, Mississippi. The proposed project is expected tobe completed in early 2012.

EnCana commits to ETP’s Tiger pipelineEnergy Transfer Partners entered into binding 10-year contracts with EnCana and

another shipper to transport a total of 500 MMCFD on its Tiger Pipeline. These new com-mitments are in addition to ETP’s 15-year contract with Chesapeake for 1.0 BCFD, bring-

ing total capacity commitments to 1.5 BCFD. ETP is continuing tonegotiate with other shippers for capacity on the pipeline.

The 180-mile Tiger Pipeline will connect to ETP’s dual 42-inchpipeline near Carthage, Texas, extend through the Haynesville Shale

and end near Delhi, Louisiana, with interconnects to at least seven interstate pipelines serv-ing the Northeast, Southeast, Mid-Atlantic and Midwest markets. The pipeline is antici-pated to cost between $1.0 billion and $1.2 billion to construct, depending upon the finalthroughput capacity design, and should be in service in 2011.

TransCanada constructing $300-million pipeline in MexicoCanadian midstream giant TransCanada won on a contract to build, own and oper-

ate a $320-million pipeline in Mexico. The project is supported by a 25-year contract forits entire capacity with Comision Federal de Electricidad (CFE), Mexico's state-ownedelectric company.

The proposed Guadalajara Pipeline will follow a 193-mile route from an LNG termi-nal under construction near Manzanillo to Guadalajara. The 30-inch pie will have500 MMCFD of capacity. The majority of the capital expenditures are expectedto be made in 2010 with a targeted in-service date of March, 2011.

The Guadalajara Pipeline would serve power generation load in Manzanillo andGuadalajara as well as connecting to an existing PEMEX gas line near Guadalajara. Thesource of natural gas will be an LNGterminal near Manzanillo, primarilysupplied by Peruvian LNG.

Meanwhile, TransCanada is sell-ing its North Baja Pipeline to partially-owned subsidiary TC PipeLines LP for aggregate consideration of $395 million, consistingof $200 million in cash and 6.37 million shares. TransCanada's will however increase itsownership in the TC PipeLines partnership to 42.6%. Proceeds will be redeployed togrowth projects, such as the $12-billion Keystone Pipeline.

TransCanada acquired the North Baja Pipeline System in 2004 and will continue tooperate the pipeline following the transfer of ownership. The system is an 80-mile gaspipeline that extends from Southwestern Arizona to a point on the California/Mexico bor-der and connects with a gas pipeline system in Mexico. North Baja consists of 30 and 36-inch pipe with a capacity of 600 MMCFD.

TransCanada has a history in Mexico, as it already owns and operates the 81-mileTamazunchale Pipeline in central Mexico. In the 1990s, TransCanada built the 435-mileMayakan Pipeline and the 133-mil El Bajio pipelines. Those pipelines, later sold, were thefirst non-PEMEX pipelines in Mexico.

In the 1990s TransCanada built theMayakan and El Bajio pipelines – Mexico’sfirst pipelines not owned by PEMEX.

Spectra’s Texas Eastern Expansion Project

Friday, May 29, 2009 MIDSTREAMNEWS5

But the company’s midstream MLP, Spectra Energy Partners reported net income of $28.5million in the first quarter, up from $24.1 million for the first quarter of 2008 due to higherrevenues from East Tennessee Natural Gas of $3.1 million associated with theGreenway/Nora, Glade Spring and CNX expansion projects. These revenue increases weremostly offset by transaction costs associated with the acquisition of OGT and OGG, which

it acquired in April from Atlas for $300 million in cash. OGT is a 565-mile gas pipeline system that extends from southeast

Oklahoma through Arkansas into southeast Missouri. It links gas sup-plies in the Fayetteville Shale and Arkoma Basin to Midwest and

Northeast markets. OGG is a 365-mile, fee-based gas gathering system in easternOklahoma and western Arkansas.

Spectra is also expanding its Texas Eastern Transmission pipeline to accommodateincreasing volumes from the Haynesville Shale area. In March, the company held an openseason to gauge shipper interest in the project, which will provide customers a number oftransportation options from receipt points on Texas Eastern’s East Texas rate zone.Capacity will be based on the success of the open season. The ETX Expansion Project istargeted for a phased in-service, commencing early 2010.

Spectra Energy Partners also recognized $6.9 million of equity earnings from its24.5% interest in Gulfstream in the first quarter, benefiting from the Phase III and PhaseIV projects which were placed into service during the third and fourth quarters of 2008.

Another $9.9 million in equity earnings came from Spectra’s 50% interest in MarketHub Partners, up from $7.8 million a year ago, reflecting higher revenues from the EganCavern 4 expansion which was placed into final service during Q2 2008.

During the quarter, the MLP spent $1.8 million for expansion and maintenance cap-ital for the Gas Transportation and Storage segment plus an additional $5.0 million forGulfstream and $9.6 million for MHP expansion projects.

As a result, the Midcontinent Production Zone basis dropped to an average of minus $1.73in 2008, compared to only minus 88 cents in 2007,” noted Russell Braziel, managingdirector of BENTEK Energy.

“But new pipelines out of the region are changing things fast. Two major pipelineexpansion projects, MEP and the Gulf Crossing project, recently began service and areproviding Midcontinent producers with new outlets into the Southeast/Gulf region. Inaddition, Texas Gas has brought two laterals on line to deliver more than 1.0 BCFD ofFayetteville Shale gas to pipelines serving markets in the Midcontinent, Northeast andSoutheast. The bottom line regarding near-term market impacts from these projects is that,together, they provide a significant supplyrelief valve as well as a doorway to thehigher-priced Southeast/Gulf region. Theyshould be expected to put upward pressureon Midcon producing zone price basis unless Midcontinent production growth fills thenew capacity, but that’s an unlikely prospect given recent drilling declines.”

The BENTEK report indicates that Midcontinent regional drilling has fallen offsharply in recent months and production declines are expected to follow. The Midcontinentrig count tumbled to only 147 active rigs in mid-April versus an average of 335 active rigsworking the area in 2008. BENTEK forecasts that Midcontinent production will dropabout 12% from current levels of 8.0 BCFD to about 7.0 BCFD by the end of 2011.

Gas spot prices continue decline—Meanwhile, according to the EIA, natural gas spot prices fell by large amounts at all

trading locations in the Lower 48 States for the week ending May 20, reversing the increas-ing trend that began in the beginning of May.

The average decline in spot prices between May 13 and May 20 was 62 cents, anddeclines ranged between 8% and 22%. Prices fell as a result of mild weather, resulting inweak gas demand for heating and for power generation for cooling. The Henry Hub pricefell by 67 cents to $3.75. At other trading locations in Louisiana, declines in prices rangedbetween 59 and 68 cents. Since early February, prices at the Henry Hub have remainedbetween $3 and $5.

Atlas closes NOARK system saleAtlas Pipeline Partners reported a net loss of $23.2 million for the first quarter, bet-

ter than a net loss of $43.7 million a year ago. The loss was despite the partnership closingits sale of the NOARK gathering system to Spectra Energy Partners for $300 million.

Proceeds went to reduce borrowings. In April, Atlas formed a JV with Williams known as Laurel Mountain

Midstream, LLC, which will own and operate Atlas’ Appalachia Basin gas gath-ering system. The JV includes assets in the Marcellus Shale in SW Pennsylvania, butexcludes Atlas’ northern Tennessee operations. The partnership will receive $90 million incash, a preferred equity right to proceedsunder a $25.5 million obligation fromWilliams and a 49% equity interest in thejoint venture.

The agreement assesses the initial enterprise value of the system in Pennsylvania,New York, Ohio and West Virginia at $250 million. The JV intends to be the leading gath-ering system in the SW Pennsylvania portion of the Marcellus Shale. Although the systemwill be operated on a day-to-day basis by Williams, all important decisions will be madejointly. The transaction is expected to close during the second quarter and Atlas will use the$90 million of net proceeds to reduce borrowings.

Revenue for the Appalachia segment increased 4% from a year ago to $10.9 millionfor the first quarter, as throughput volume increased over 30% to a record 98.5 MMCFDdue to the connection of new operated wells to the Appalachia system.

In the Midcontinent, revenue fell 38% from a year ago to $228.4 million in Q1 2009,even as processed volumes on the Elk City/Sweetwater, Velma, Chaney Dell andMidkiff/Benedum system all increased in the first quarter. The decline resulted from lowertransportation rates. System-wide volumes of 1,357.8 MMCFD for the first quarter rose11% from a year ago.

Valero pays $725 million for European refinery stakeValero Energy is entering the European downstream market by acquiring The Dow

Chemical Company’s 45% interest in a refinery in the Netherlands for $725 million. Therefinery is 55%-owned and operated by French firm Total and has total throughput capacity

of 190,000 BPD. Originally built in 1973, the refinery received major

upgrades in the mid-1980s, mid-1990s, and throughout this decade. It has a large, distil-late-hydrocracking unit with capacity of 68,000 BPD.

France’s Total also owns an interest in the Massvlatke Olie Terminal in Rotterdam,which is one of the largest oil terminals in the world.

Atlas’ SW Pennsylvania gatheringsystem is valued at $250 million.

Generally, spot prices across the Lower 48 were between $3 and $4 per MMBtu, withhigher prices in the Northeast and Florida. The average price in the Northeast was$4.15/MMBtu. Additionally, at the Florida Gas Transmission Citygate trading area, theonly trading area for which data are collected in Florida, the average price was$4.22/MMBtu. Prices have recovered somewhat from lower levels in April, when prices atmany trading locations fell below $3 per MMBtu. However, in the Rocky Mountain region,prices were $2.93 per MMBtu on average on May 20.

But the largest regional price declines for the week occurred in the West Texas,California, and Arizona/Nevada. West Texas prices fell by an average of 78 cents (19%);Arizona/Nevada prices fell by 77 cents (19%); and California prices fell by an average of73 cents, or 18%. The smallest declines occurred in the Northeast, falling on average 56cents or about 12%. The relatively low prices could eventually recover, as the declining rigcount is expected to reduce production. Baker Hughes reported that the natural gas rotaryrig count fell to 728 as of May 15, the lowest level in more than 6 years.

Venezuelan government seizes Williams’ assetsWilliams confirmed reports that the Venezuelan government has seized two of its

operated assets in the country - El Furrial and PIGAP II. After a long period of non-pay-ment by government-owned PDVSA, Williams last month issued notices of default under

its services agreements. The government’s seizure of assets and ter-mination of the contracts gives Williams the right to seek paymentsvia international arbitration.

Williams has investments in and operates entities that provideservices to PDVSA under long-term agreements. Services include

medium-pressure compression, high-pressure gas injection, gas liquids extraction, and gasliquids fractionation.

Williams reported non-cash charges to net income attributable of $241 million infirst-quarter 2009 as a result of this seizure by the Venezuelan government.

Back in the U.S., Williams has received FERC approved to expand its Transco gaspipeline to serve markets in the SE United States. New service from the Mobile Bay Southproject would be available in the second quarter of 2010. The project is designed to create253,500 Dth/d of southbound, year-round firm transportation capacity on the Mobile BayLateral from Transco's mainline at Station 85 near Butler, Alabama, to its interconnect withGulfstream Natural Gas System in Coden, Alabama.

The Mobile Bay South project will require construction of a new 9,470 horsepowercompressor facility at Station 85 in Choctaw Co. Williams estimates that the project facil-ities will cost $37 million.

Regency reduces capex budgetRegency Energy Partners reduced its 2009 capex budget by $13 million to total

$107 million in growth capital, with $82 million dedicated to its compression segment andthe remaining $25 million identified for the gathering & processing segment. Regency

already spent $45 million of its total capex in the first quarter.All capital expenditures related to the Haynesville Expansion Project have

been excluded from the projected budget as those costs are beingfunded by the new Haynesville Joint Venture, which consists of

Regency (38%), GE Energy (12%) and Alinda Capital Partners (50%). Regency con-tributed its 320-mile RIGS pipeline system to the JV, and in return GE Energy FinancialServices and Alinda contributed $126.5 million and $526.5 million in cash, respectively.

Regency generated net income of $148 million in the first quarter, compared to $10million a year ago, with the increase due to a $134 million gain from the contribution ofRIGS to the Haynesville Joint Venture.

“Our ability to close and securefinancing for the Haynesville JointVenture in the first quarter at termsaccretive to unitholders allows Regency to capture first-mover advantage in meeting initialHaynesville Shale demand,” CEO Byron Kelley added. Regency has secured commitmentsfrom shippers for 92% of the pipeline’s 1.1-BCFD capacity and has requests for all of theremaining capacity. The project is on budget with a planned in-service date of December31, 2009.

The pipeline will consist of a 25-mile, 36-inch-diameter Bienville line, a 21-mile, 36-inch Elm Grove line and a 75-mile, 42-inch Winnsboro line, with interconnects toColumbia Gulf, Trunkline & ANR. The total cost of the project is projected at $650 millionand Regency expects to complete the pipeline on time and within budget.

Regency’s gathering & processing segment reported net income of $56 million in thequarter, up $2.0 million from a year ago. Throughput averaged 1.0 MMbtu/d, and processedNGLs averaged 23,000 BPD for the quarter, both flat with a year ago. The partnership isalso working to reduce debt by pricing $250 million of senior notes at 94.496% of the prin-cipal amount to yield 10.5%. The offering closed in May 20.

Regency spent $45 million of its annualcapex of $107 million in the first quarter.

NGS Energy targets El Paso’s storage facilityNGS Energy LP and El Paso Corp. signed an agreement under which NGS gained

the right to purchase El Paso's Pinal Co., Arizona, natural gas storage facility and all asso-ciated acreage, wells, geological and technical data and rights currently held by El Paso.

The storage project is in the Picacho Basin and would include a 9-mileheader system that could connect to Transwestern Pipeline, El Paso Natural Gas Pipeline, as well as numerous new and

proposed gas-fired plants.“The growth in the Arizona market has not received the appropriate response from the

gas storage industry,” said NGS Energy President Laura Luce. “El Paso's work drilling andcoring multiple wells to test the viability of the geology and feasibility of the project arethe first steps to address Arizona's storage need.”

Flying J, Big West look to sell Bakersfield refineryFlying J and its subsidiary Big West Oil are considering a sale of their interest in the

Bakersfield refinery complex in California. Deutsche Bank Securities is financial advisorto assist in the process.

The company has 46,000 acres therefor development. Under terms of the agree-ment, Seminole Gas Co. will have a six-month option to purchase NGAS’ remain-ing 50% interest in the gathering system for

another $22 million. Undercertain (unspecified) condi-tions, NGAS may require

Seminole to exercise this purchase option. NGAS CEO William Daugherty said

the deal “will be a significant liquidityevent for our company, with proceeds help-ing to reduce outstanding debt and providefinancial flexibility.” NGAS is also a part-ner with Seminole in two other gas pro-cessing facilities in the region.

In its second recent deal, NGASentered into a farmout agreement withChesapeake Energy on 56,000 (42,000 netundeveloped) acres in the AppalachianBasin in Letcher and Harlan Co., Kentucky.Chesapeake and royalty owner PennVirginia will gain participation rights forup to 25% WI in NGAS’ future wells.NGAS has an annual commitment of fourwells under the farmout, with an additionalcommitment to drill six vertical DevonianShale wells by the June. Chesapeake willcontinue to own over 100 producing wellsand a gathering system that connects toNGAS’ gathering system.

In its first quarter report, NGASrevealed a net loss of $537,000, despiteincreasing daily production from 9.7MMCFeD a year ago to 11.5 MMCFeD inthe first quarter 2009. Still, the companybenefited from strong Appalachia differen-tials. Although the company received anaverage of $6.74/Mcf in the first quarter –down from $8.51/Mcf a year ago – itsAppalachia gas received a much betterprice of $8.10/Mcf, due to the multiplepipelines in place and their close proximityto the densely-populated Northeast region.
