8 Pipeline News • September 2008 • www.pipeline-news.com

GAS - The Americas U.S.ALASKA (STATE OF)/TRANS CANADA/FOOTHILLS – (REV. 7/08) The State of Alaska has completed its review of applications submitted by five companies for the exclusive right to build the Alaska Gas Pipeline to transport North Slope gas to market with TransCanada the apparent early winner. The application from TransCanada Alaska Company, LLC/Foothills Pipelines, Ltd. (TransCanada) satisfied all of the man-datory requirements set out in the required Alaska Gasline Inducement Act (AGIA). Thus, TransCanada’s application will move to the evaluation phase.

In other news, Alaska’s Gov. Sarah Palin recom-mended in May 2008 that state lawmaker approve TransCanada proposal to build the project. She said the Calgary-based company’s plan merits issuance of a license under the AGIA.

The long awaited Alaska Gas Pipeline, if completed, could transport 4.5 Bcf/d from Alaska’s North Slope primarily to Chicago for distribution throughout the U. S. The proposed route involves an estimated 2,100 miles of 52-inch diameter pipeline. The pipeline was estimated in 2001 to cost at least $20 billion, but steel prices have risen dramatically since then, and no steel company currently makes that diameter of pipe. At this date, there is no timetable for building the pipeline.

ALGONQUIN GAS TRANSMISSION – (REV. 7/08)Algonquin Gas Transmission, a subsidiary of Spectra Energy, has filed an application with FERC to con-struct the $1.5 billion East-to-West Expansion project to transport more than 1 Bcfd of eastern LNG-based supplies to Northeast markets. The project will require modifications to four existing compressor stations, the construction of one new compressor station, the loop-ing and/or replacement of approximately 17.3 miles of existing pipelines, construction of approximately 13 miles of new pipeline, and installation of gas chromato-graphs at 29 existing meter stations and over-pressure protection at four locations along its right-of-way.

The project will direct significant new supplies of re-gasified LNG from the eastern end of the Algonquin system into high-growth markets in the Northeast United States, including New England, New York and New Jersey, by November 2009.

ALLIANCE/DUKE/NJR – (REV. 1/07)Alliance Pipeline, Duke Energy Gas Transmission and NJR Pipeline Company, a subsidiary of New Jersey Resources have signed a MOU to construct the Lebanon Connector Pipeline. An open season is being conducted for the natural gas pipeline to bring Canadian gas supplies to U.S. Northeast markets and regional storage. The pipeline would connect from either the Alliance Pipeline in Joliet, IL or from an interconnect with the Vector Pipeline at or near Springville, IN. Dependent upon the final route, the pipeline would be 125-170 miles in length and would follow the existing Texas Eastern Lebanon Lateral. Plans call for the project to be completed in 2008.

ALLIANCE PIPELINE/QUESTAR OVERTHRUST PIPELINE – (REV 6/08)Alliance Pipeline Inc. and Questar Overthrust Pipeline Company conducted a binding open season from May 12 to June 16, 2008 for the proposed Rockies Alliance

Pipeline (RAP), a jointly owned interstate natural gas transportation system from the Rocky Mountain Region to the Ventura, IA, and Chicago, IL trading hubs. Based on discussions with prospective shippers following the project announcement on March 25, 2008, the sponsors have revised the route to better meet market needs. The new route connects Rocky Mountain producing areas directly to the Ventura and Chicago trading hubs. Capacity for RAP is 1.2 Bcf/d with expansion capability to 1.8 Bcf/d.

By capitalizing on both Questar’s and Alliance’s existing systems, RAP will allow shippers to transport growing natural gas production volumes from the Greater Green River, Piceance and Powder River basins to growing mid-western and eastern markets. The project will require approximately 900 miles of new 42-inch pipe, extending east from Wamsutter, WY to Ventura where it will connect to Alliance Pipeline and Northern Natural Gas. Questar’s Overthrust Pipeline can be expanded at low cost to connect multiple receipt points between Opal and Wamsutter.

In a separate open season, Overthrust Pipeline is proposing to add up to 1.0 bcf/d incremental capacity from Opal to Wamsutter and construct a proposed new White River Lateral from the White River Hub in the Piceance Basin to Wamsutter. With minor modifications, Alliance can enhance downstream capacity on its system which connects to Guardian, Vector, Peoples, Nicor, ANR, NGPL and Midwestern.

Subject to obtaining shipper commitment for this system and regulatory approvals, the pipeline is expected to be placed into service as early as third quarter 2011.

ANR PIPELINE CO. – (12/07)ANR Pipeline Co., a subsidiary of El Paso Corp., recent-ly held an open season for its proposed Wisconsin/Illinois 2009 Pipeline Expansion. The project proposes the expansion of ANR’s existing mainline and lateral facilities within Wisconsin and Illinois. Service is antici-pated to commence on Nov. 1, 2009.

ASPEN PIPELINE – (8/07) Aspen Pipeline plans to build a high pressure natural gas pipeline to transport gas from Arena Resources’ Yates formation in Andrews County, TX to a fired electric utility in Odessa, TX. The 50-mile pipeline is scheduled for completion in mid-2008.

ATLAS PIPELINE PARTNERS - (6/08)Atlas Pipeline Partners, L.P., through a wholly owned subsidiary, Atlas Pipeline Mid-Continent L.L.C has proposed building a natural gas pipeline extension, designated as the Tenark Pipeline Project. The line would extend from Ozark’s existing interstate natural gas transmission system in White County, AR to points of interconnection with Trunkline Gas Company and Texas Gas Transmission near Dyersburg, TN. Tenark is expected to consist of approximately 160 miles of 36-inch pipe, compression and related facilities. The line will extend northeast from Ozark’s existing inter-state natural gas transmission system in White County, AR to its terminus at interconnections with Trunkline Gas Company (Zone 1B) and Texas Gas Transmission (Zone 2) near Dyersburg, TN. Initial capacity of Tenark is expected to be 700,000 Dth/d with the potential to expand at a later date to 1,200,000 Dth/d. The ultimate capacity of Tenark will be determined by the level of shipper commitments during an open season. The pro-jected in-service date is November 2010.

BISON PIPELINE LLC – (REV. 7/08) Northern Border Pipeline Co.’s wholly owned subsidiary, Bison Pipeline LLC, received a boost for its proposed Bison natural gas pipeline system when Anadarko Energy Services Co. signed a letter of intent to be a foundation shipper on the pipeline. The agreement is subject to approval by the Anadarko board. As proposed, the pipeline extends from natural gas gathering facilities located in the Powder River Basin supply area to a point of interconnection with Northern Border Pipeline Company in Morton County, ND. The Bison project will consist of 289 miles of 24-inch pipe, compression and added plant facilities, originating at the natural gas gathering facilities of Fort Union Gas Gathering, L.L.C. and Bighorn Gas Gathering, LLC near Dead Horse, Wyo. The pipeline will extend in a northeasterly direction to its terminus in Morton County, North Dakota near Northern Border’s Compressor Station No. 6. Initial capacity is expected to be 400 MMcf/d with a maximum capacity of 600 MMcf/d. The projected in service date is November 2010.

BP/ CONOCOPHILLIPS – (REV. 6/08) BP and ConocoPhillips, through their joint venture company, Denali—The Alaska Gas Pipeline LLC, have submitted a letter to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission seeking permission to use the agency’s pre-filing procedures for the natural gas project. With a pre-filing status, Denali could kick off at least 18 months of engineering and other planning work for the multibillion-dollar pipeline from the North Slope gas fields to Alberta, Canada. The pipeline will move approximately 4 Bcf/d of natural gas to market, and will be the largest private sector construction project ever built in North America. The project combines the financial strength, arctic experience and technical resources of the two companies.

BP and ConocoPhillips plan to spend $600 million to achieve the first major project milestone, an open season, commencing before year end 2010. Following a successful open season, the companies intend to obtain FERC and NEB certification and move forward with project construction. The timetable calls for the pipeline to be in service in 2018.

As proposed, the project consists of a gas treatment plant on Alaska’s North Slope and a large-diameter pipeline that extends 700 miles through Alaska, and then into Canada through the Yukon Territory and British Columbia to Alberta. The proposed line closely follows the original route from 1976. Should it be required to transport gas from Alberta, the project also will include a large diameter pipeline from Alberta to the Lower 48 states. BP and ConocoPhillips will seek other equity partners, including pipeline companies, who can add value to the project and help manage the risks involved. Total cost estimates range from $25 billion to $40 billion.

In recent developments, TransCanada Corp. and Enbridge Inc. report they are ready to participate with the two producers noting that statements from BP and ConocoPhillips indicate they would welcome pipeline company partners.

BRADFORD LANDING LLC – (7/08)Bradwood Landing LLC’s Bradwood Landing LNG project in Oregon and Washington, has received the environmental go-ahead. From the FERC. As pro-posed, the project would consist of an LNG import terminal located about 38 miles up the Columbia River from its mouth, in Clatsop County, OR, and a 36.3-mile-

MACKENZIE VALLEY – (REV. 11/07) Developers of the Mackenzie Valley natural gas pipe-line say the project is moving forward following meet-ings with federal, provincial and Indian regulatory agencies. The project could be submitted to Canada’s NEB for action by mid-to-late 2008. A new schedule indicates the 746-mile, $6-billion Mackenzie Valley Gas Pipeline Project won’t be in service until at least 2014. The price tag for the project is expected to increase substantially by the time construction gets underway. Provincial leaders in the area have called for a joint U.S. and Canadian task force to find solutions to over-come regulatory and other obstacles. Further reports say that increased natural gas demands in Canada could take a bite out of exports to the U.S.

A final decision on whether to proceed with con-struction is expected as soon as the regulatory deci-sions are made, in the summer or early fall of 2007 or in time to use the first available arctic work season. The new plan calls for a start in Jan. of 2008 on pipeline right-of-way clearing, site preparations and pipeline construction is scheduled for the winters of 2009-10 and 2010-11. Changes have also been made by drop-ping one of four proposed compressor stations and by route adjustments resulting in a savings of $151 million. The pipeline’s length is shortened by 16 miles to a new total of 746 miles.

Caribbean/South & Central AmericaARGENTINA/BOLIVIA - (REV. 9/07)The Bolivia and Argentina governments are quick stepping plans to build a 932-mile natural gas pipeline to move Bolivian gas to Argentine markets. The long-discussed Gasoducto del Noresta Argentina (GNA) gas line will extend from southern Bolivia to Argentine provinces of Salta, Formosa, and Chaco, terminating in the province of Santa Fe. Today, the estimated cost is more than $2 billion, up from the projected $1 billion in November 2003. Tenders, valued at $750 million, for the pipe are expected to be released within the month. This will be followed by releasing construction bids. The projected construction start is March 2008 and the projected completion date is early 2009. Argentina has agreed to finance construction of a gas separation plant in the Bolivian border town of Yacuiba.

BOLIVIA/URUGUAY/PARAGUAY – (REV. 3/08)Paraguay’s President Nicanor Duarte agreed with his Uruguayan and Bolivian counterparts Tabare Vazquez and Evo Morales to build a gas pipeline connecting the three countries. The pipeline will run 504 miles from Tarija, Bolivia to Puerto Casado on the coast of the Paraguay River. From there the pipeline will continue south to Ciudad del Este, from which point it will cross the international bridge shared with Brazil toward Río Grande do Sul state and onward to Uruguay. A commission has begun drafting the agreement for the project. No timeline for construction has been set.

BRAZIL/VENEZUELA/ARGENTINA – (REV. 8/08)Russia’s Gazprom will take an active role in building the Venezuela-Brazil section of the natural gas pipe-line Brazil, Venezuela and Argentina have proposed. The Argentina, Brazil and Venezuela governments previously approved $9.2 million in funding for the design engineering and environmental studies for the Gran Gasoducto del Sur, a natural gas pipeline from Venezuela to Buenos Aires. The 6,300-mile pipeline would link the three countries. Depending on length, route and capacity, costs could reach as much as $20 billion.

KUNTUR TRANSPORTADORA DE GAS SAC – (6/08)High-level government officials are signaling that Peru will select a proposal to place a natural gas pipeline through the Andes Mountains. That plan, proposed by Kuntur Transportadora de Gas SAC, is in competition with a proposal made by a unit of Suez Energy that would run a pipeline down the Pacific coast.

The two companies have lobbied in support of their plans, but experts say demand for the gas so far is limited and barely enough for one pipeline to southern Peru.

Kuntur Transportadora de Gas SAC proposes a $1.2 billion 675-mile pipeline from the Camisea gas fields in the department of Cuzco to the southern departments of Moquegua and Puno.

PETROBRAS – (1/08)Brazil’s Petrobras has closed a funding deal worth R$2.49 billion, granted by the National Economic and Social Development Bank (BNDES), for the Transportadora Urucu-Manaus S.A. special purpose company (SPC). The SPC is in charge of building the 239-mile, 20-inch in diameter natural gas transporta-tion pipeline to connect Coari to Manaus, Brazil. In addition, it will build distribution branches to supply seven municipalities located along the gas pipeline route. The funds will also be used to build the 2,173-mile-long, 10-inch nominal diameter LPG pipe-line that will connect the Arara Pole, in Urucu, to the Solimoes Terminal, in Coari, State of Amazonas.

The natural gas will be used initially for thermoelec-tric power generation in the city of Manaus, substitut-ing for the fuel oil generators that are currently used for this purpose. Later, it will also supply the region’s industrial, vehicle, commercial, and residential sectors.

The gas pipeline will have two delivery points in Manaus, seven distribution branches totaling 78 miles in length, to deliver gas to municipalities located near the gas pipeline, and two intermediary gas-compression stations. The project also foresees the re-adaptation of an existing 18-inch nominal diameter pipeline between Urucu and Coari, which will be interconnected to the 20-inch one, allowing for natural gas production outflow.

(Rev. 6/08) Petrobras has an aggressive pipeline con-struction program underway that includes 5,592 miles of new liquid and natural gas pipelines to be built over a five year period. Currently, Petrobras is planning to build 1,116 miles of new gas lines between the start of 2008 and December 2009. Natural gas projects that are planned including the projected in-service date are:� Japeri-Reduc, 25 miles of 28-inch pipe, November 2008� Paulina-Jacuinga, 50 miles of 14-inch, August 2008� Expansao do Gasbel, 191 miles of 22-inch, October 2008� Gasduc III, 114 miles of 38-inch, May 2009� Gaspal II, 33 miles of 22-inch, December 2009� Gastau-Caraguatatuba-Taubate, 63 miles of 28-inch, July 2009� Gasan II, 24 miles of 22-inch, December 2009� Fafen/Se (Ramal), 14 miles of 8-inch, October 2008� Pilar-Ipojuca, 112 miles of 24-inch, November 2009

By the end of 2007, the company had added some 1,505 miles of new natural gas pipelines.

PETROPERU/SUEZ ENERGY – (8/07) A feasibility study is being conducted by state oil company Petroperu S.A. and a unit of Suez Energy International, to build an $830 million pipeline to supply gas to a planned petrochemical complex in southern Peru.

Completion is slated in 2011.

PERU LNG – (REV. 10/07)Peru LNG, a joint venture between Hunt Oil and SK Corporation, and Spain’s Repsol YPF continues with its plans to construct a pipeline to transport gas from Chinquintirca in the Ayacucho Mountains to a planned LNG plant at Pampa Melchorita. The project is designed to convert Camisea reserves to LNG for export to markets in Central and North America. Plans call for a 257-mile, 34-inch diameter pipeline to be completed in the 2008-2009 timeframe.The line, as planned, has as estimated construction cost of $3.8 billion.

SUEZ ENERGY PERU – (REV. 9/08)Suez Energy Peru, a unit of Suez, aims to build the $850 million Gassur Pipeline down the Pacific coast to the southern city of Ilo. The pipeline will have a 15 MMcf/d capacity and range from 22 to 28 inches in diameter. Plans call for operations in the first half of 2011.

The project conflicts with a proposal by Kuntur Transportadora de Gas SAC to build a $1.2 billion 675 mile pipeline that would run the Camisea gas fields in the department of Cuzco to the southern departments of Moquegua and Puno.

Industry executives see both of these projects being built only if there is sufficient demand for gas in southern Peru.

VENEZUELA-BRAZIL – (11/07)Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez recently discussed plans for construction of his Southern Gas Pipeline proposal with Brazilian counterpart Luiz Inacio da Silva. The project, backed by Venezuela, is to build a 4,971-mile pipeline to carry gas from northern Venezuela to Argentina, with branches in Bolivia, Uruguay and Paraguay. The project cost is estimated at $210 billion.

GAS – InternationalAfricaGOVERNMENT OF MOROCCO – (7/07)Morocco is expected to invite international investors to finance a planned 500 MMcf/d LNG terminal and gas pipeline with estimate costs of around $1 billion. After finishing the initial feasibility study, Tractebel will likely move on to conduct a full FEED study and then help with the selection of an EPC contractor.

GOVERNMENT OF NIGERIA – (4/08)Nigeria plans to build three natural gas processing plants in the oil-rich Niger Delta and a grid of pipe-lines linking them to the rest of the country. The new plants will be built at Warri/Forcados, Akwa Ibom/Calabar and Obiafu areas of the delta. The new gas infrastructure will cost between $15 billion and $20 bil-lion and should be put in place between 2012 and 2015. Nigeria’s reforms are aimed at enabling the country to satisfy domestic demand for gas and to reduce flar-ing. None of the deadlines, the most recent of which was January 2008, set for companies to stop flaring in Nigeria has so far been respected.

NNPC/SONATRACH – (REV. 1/08)Nigeria has approved the construction of the Trans-Sahara Gas Pipeline (TSGP) planned by the Nigerian National Petroleum Company and Algeria’s Sonatrach. As proposed, the 2,565-mile project will take gas from fields in the Niger Delta north through Nigeria to Algeria and then to the coast. It could be on line in 2015 if all goes according to plan.

GAZPROM – (3/08)Gazprom plan to develop the fields in the Yamal


Peninsular, located in the Yamal-Nenets auton-omous district of Siberia. In the initial phase the Bovanenkovskoye field will be developed by the third quarter of 2011. Plans call for an annual production capacity of no less than 15 Bcm of annual production and the construction of a 685-mile pipeline system from Bovanenkovo to Ukhta. Plans call for pipeline construction to begin in 2008, while work is under way for provisional housing and installations, along with townships for the stockpiling of related materials.

The Yamal Peninsula is a strategic natural gas resource for Gazprom -- and one of the most promising gas-bearing regions in West Siberia capable of maintaining long-term production rates. Yamal is rich not only in gas. Today the region is the second in oil extraction. Estimates indicate production in the region can be increased to 90-100 million tons a year.

Thus far, 26 fields have emerged containing proven reserves totaling 10.4 Tcm of natural gas, 250.5 million tons of extractable gas condensate and 291.8 million tons of recoverable oil.

KAZAKHSTAN/TURKMENISTAN/RUSSIA – (REV. 11/07) Russian President Vladimir Putin and Kazakan President Nursultan Nazarbayev recently held dis-cussions on how to speed construction of a 930-mile pipeline to transport gas from Kazakhstan and Turkmenistan along the Caspian Sea coast to Russia. The talks focused on the prospects for creating a Caspian Sea transportation corridor to support work on the pipeline. In addition to the new line, the plan considers the reconstruction of the Soviet-era pipe-lines going to Russia via Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan to make it possible to boost gas transit by at least 12

Bcm/a by 2012. The pipeline is expected to strengthen the position Russia has over Central Asian energy exports at a time when China is making in-roads in the region and other Western-backed projects are emerging.

NABUCCO GAS PIPELINE INT’L – (REV. 7/08)Estimated cost of building the Nabucco Natural Gas Pipeline has reached $7.9 billion, based on higher steel and crude oil prices. Previously, the projected cost was $6.2 billion. The consortium making up Nabucco Gas Pipeline International Ltd., consist of Bulgaria’s Bulgargaz, BOTAS of Turkey, TransGaz of Romania, Hungary’s MOL, Germany’s RWE AG and Austria’s OMV. The European Commission reported recently it had met with members of the consortium to check on the progress and offer its support to the exemption process in all the countries involved.

The EU considers the Nabucco Pipeline a priority. As planned, 2,142- mile pipeline will transport natural gas from Turkey to Austria. The mileage includes 968, Turkey; 244, Bulgaria; 284, Romania; 241, Hungary and 29 miles in Austria. Feeder lines in Turkey include 140 miles from Gurcistan siniri to Horasan and 133 miles from the Georgian border to Horasan. A feasibility study is currently being conducted to examine several technical options. Construction on the project has been delayed a year from the original start 2009 to 2010. Rescheduling the construction start allows develop-ers to synchronize with output from the gas field in Azerbaijan, as well as complete environmental and social impact studies. The five partners have accepted RWE AG as the sixth partner.

The project has a planned maximum capacity of 31 Bcm/y. Work is expected to begin in 2009 and should be completed in 2012.

RUSSIA/SERBIA - (4/08)Russia and Serbia have signed an agreement to form a joint venture company to build and operate the Serbian section of the South Stream natural gas pipe-line.

IRAN/TURKEY - (1/08)A new pipeline to transport natural gas from Iran’s South Pars on the southern Iranian coast to eastern Turkey is projected to cost $5 billion. Iran and Turkey reached agreement earlier this year that calls for Turkey to import some 110 mil-lion cubic meters of gas from Iran. In addition to meeting gas needs in Turkey, the plan is to deliver gas to European markets through a connection with the proposed Nabucco pipeline project. The line, which will be built under a build-own-operate plan, is expected to reach 1,200 miles with 48-inch pipe. Companies from both com-panies with form a joint venture to build the line

NATIONAL GAS COMPANY OF IRAN – (3/08)National Gas Company of Iran plans to build a ninth cross-country gas pipeline to increase exports to Turkey and Europe from the western regions of the country. Current plans call for the construction of a $5 million 1,118-mile, 17-inch diameter pipeline to transfer up to 100 MMcm/d of sweet gas produced by Phases 9 and 10 of the South Pars field. Contractors have submitted bids and an award is scheduled by mid-2008.

NATIONAL IRANIAN OIL CO. – (REV. 6/08)Iran and Pakistan have finalized an agreement on building the pipeline that will transport gas to Pakistan and on to India. Reportedly, India and Pakistan energy ministers have resolved India’s participation on the 1,298-mile Iran-Pakistan-India Gas Pipeline Project. The two countries have committed to start construction next year to meet a September 2012 completion date for the section known as the Peace Pipeline. Pakistan is targeting April 2009 to secure financing for its section. Further, Russia’s Gazprom has stressed it is interested in taking on part in the construction and operation of the $7.4 billion pipeline to deliver 5.3 Bcf/d of gas from southern Iran to Pakistan and India.

As originally proposed, the country sections will be built separately to avoid the effects of U.S. sanctions aimed against Iran and any companies that participate in Iranian projects. The projected length and cost of each section is 678 miles at $4 billion in Iran, 407 miles at $2.6 billion in Pakistan and 213 miles at $600 million in India. However, Pakistan says two routes are now under consideration. One would connect Quetta with Rahim Yar Khan and the other would connect Sukkar and Karachi. Based on those considerations, the mileage in Pakistan would range from 435 miles to 932 miles. Also, the projected cost is between $2.7 and $3 billion. Over the entire length, the line’s diameter remains 56-inch. Pakistan’s section likely will be built on a build, own, operate, and transfer basis. Currently, the projected sched-ule for the Iran-Pakistan-India line calls for completion in the second half of 2014.

IRAQ/TURKEY - (4/08)The Iraq-Turkey Natural Gas Pipeline Project is being proposed to transport Iraqi gas to Turkey.

This project includes field development, production and processing, and pipeline transportation of gas from northeastern Iraq. The proposed line would move 10 Bcm/y of gas from five gas fields to Turkey with the ultimate objective of moving the gas to European markets. After several years of delays, a MOU was signed August 2007 by Turkey’s Ministry of Energy and Natural Resources and Iraqi’s Oil Minister that declares the intention to build the pipeline. The MOU calls for starting feasibility studies for a new pipeline that would parallel the existing Kirkuk-Yumurtalik oil line. Botas will build the segment that crosses Turkey. The feasibility study includes the possibility of building an LNG terminal in Turkey’s southeastern province of Adana.

UZBEKNEFTGAS/CNPC - (6/08)Uzbekistan energy firm, Uzbekneftgas, has formed a joint venture with China National Petroleum Corp (CNPC) to build a pipeline that would transport natural gas from Turkmenistan to China. The plans by energy-hungry China and the Central Asian states would break Russia’s virtual monopoly on transit of Turkmen gas. Under the plan, the Uzbek-Chinese venture, named Asia Trans Gas, would build a 330 mile pipeline section from the Turkmen border across Uzbek territory to the Kazakh border, from where it would go on to western China. An initial pipeline, including one compressor station, is to be built by the end of 2009 and a second by the end of 2011. Uzbekistan signed an agreement last year with China to build a pipeline with a 30 Bcm capacity for shipping Turkmen gas.

BP PIPELINES – (REV. 3/08) BP Pipelines (North America) Inc. has withdrawn the Open Season offer to the industry for Viridian Pipeline. Although there was significant interest from potential shippers during the recent open season process, BP Pipelines did not receive sufficient com-mitments necessary to redeploy the pipeline in light crude service. BP Pipelines anticipates revising and expanding the scope of the project and presenting an enhanced offer for redeployment of the pipeline in the first quarter of 2008. Further updates for the proposed Viridian Pipeline Project will be posted online at www.bppipelines.com.

CENTURION PIPELINE – (8/08)Centurion Pipeline’s proposed reversal project has received the necessary long-term commitments through a binding open season to redeploy the pipeline into heavy crude oil service. The new direction for the Centurion pipeline flow will create new capacity to transport increasing production of Western Canadian heavy crude oil from Cushing, OK to Slaughter, TX and markets in West Texas’ Permian Basin. The Centurion Pipeline Reversal Project is being designed to transport as much as 60,000 bopd through an existing common carrier, 16-inch, 375-mile-long crude oil pipeline commonly referred to as the No. 1 Pipeline. The reversed pipeline could be in southwest-bound service as early as the fourth quarter of 2009.

CHEVRON – (6/08)Chevron won approval from the Fresno County Planning Commission to build a 57-mile pipeline for hot, heavy crude from San Ardo in the Salinas Valley to an existing pipeline near Coalinga, CA The pipeline will transport 4,000 to 32,000 bpd. Because of the oil’s thickness, it will be heated to 180 degrees at San Ardo, and again near the pipeline’s midpoint, so that itwill flow better. No completion date has been set.

ENBRIDGE ENERGY PARTNERS – (3/08)Enbridge Energy Partners, L.P. will proceed with another expansion of the Enbridge North Dakota Pipeline System adding up to 51,000 bpd of capacity. The expansion, with an estimated cost of approximately $150 million, will add 40,000 bpd of capacity from the western end of the system to Minot, ND and 51,000 bpd of capacity from Minot to Clearbrook, MN. This will increase total system capacity from 110,000 bpd to

161,000 bpd, with an in-service date of late 2009. The expansion is subject to federal and state approvals.

ENBRIDGE INC. – (REV. 8/08)Enbridge Inc. has delayed plans for a $3.6 billion pipeline to transport Alberta oil to refineries located on the U.S. Gulf Coast while the company considers an interim plan to move it by tanker from existing lines to the East Coast. The company’s shift in plans stems from the tempered outlook for production from Canadian oil sands projects, along with regula-tory delays and rising cost. The pipeline plan called for the system to transport 4000,000 Bpd of oil sands some 2,000 miles from the Edmonton to Texas. The line would run through refining hot spots like Billings, MT, Denver, CO, and Cushing OK, before terminating at the Gulf. If built, the proposed pipeline would be operational by 2011. *Listed in both U.S. and Canada

ENBRIDGE/EXXON MOBIL – (REV. 9/08) After Enbridge Inc. and ExxonMobil reported the $2.6 billion Texas Access Pipeline proposal to ship Canadian crude to the U.S. Gulf Coast will be delayed by about two years the developers now say the project can be built in time for a 2012 start up. As proposed, Texas Access will consist of 768 miles of 30-inch diam-eter pipeline to transport 400,000 bpd of crude from Patoka, IL to Nederland, TX. Also proposed is an 88-mile, 24-inch diameter pipeline to transport crude onward from Nederland to the Houston area. Instead of the recently announced completion date of 2013 or 2014, the two companies say the 2012 date can be met despite insufficient support from oil sands producers.

Enbridge also is opting to move the crude by tanker because of a poorer outlook for oilsands production from northern Alberta. The company said it plans to move about 200,000 bopd to the U.S. Gulf by mid-2010 through the $350-million tanker project, titled Trailbreaker, at a shipping cost of $8 per barrel of oil.

Later, when the volumes of Canadian heavy crude seeking access to the U.S. Gulf Coast exceed the capac-ity of Trailbreaker, the company will be ready to meet that requirement with its Texas Access joint venture at a lower toll. The Trailbreaker system would then be redeployed to provide access to East Coast markets for synthetic barrels.

GENESIS ENERGY, L.P. – (10/07) Genesis Energy, L.P. reports it plans to build an exten-sion from its existing Florida crude oil pipeline to transport crude for producers in southern Alabama.
