• JV Partnership between Williams Gas Pipeline Company, LLCand TransCanada Pipeline USA, Ltd.
• Reaches the broadest market
– Pacific Northwest– California– Northern Nevada
• Relatively lower-risk
– Existing corridors, existing infrastructure, existingoperators
– Lower miles– Reasonable cost estimate
• Downward rate pressure on GTN
11
• 1.2 Bcf/d of Capacity
• 585 miles of 42-inch pipeline– 1,440 MAOP
• 55,800 hp of compression (site rated)– 43,800 hp electric compression at Opal
– 12,000 hp of gas compression at Mid-point
– Fuel rate of 0.83%
• Pipeline largely parallels existing NWP system and existingutility corridors– maximizes the use of recognized BLM utility corridors
– avoids a significant amount of agricultural and Native American land
– saves more than $150 MM by reducing the overall length byapproximately 33 miles
– Over 80% in existing utility corridors

• Cost estimates in 2011 “as spent dollars”– Impact to costs of escalating steel prices and contractor costs have been
factored into the estimate– Costs were escalated for the year the expenditures are anticipated to
occur
• Validation of costs– A high level estimate by a major third party engineering firm generally
validated Williams and TransCanada’s original estimate– A separate third party engineering firm is currently finalizing a more
detailed construction study
• Third-party environmental contractor instrumental in routeselection
• Based on November 2011 start date– Sunstone is also offering a June 2011 start date which increases cost
