  1. Entrega Gas Pipeline Inc. www.entregapipeline.com Entrega Project Overview Wyoming Natural Gas Pipeline Authority – June 28, 2005

  2. Agenda Entrega Project Overview • Project and Facilities • Milestones and Schedule • Interconnects and Capacity • Access to Markets • Tariff and Rates • Benefits to Wyoming • Wrap-up

  3. Wamsutter Compressor Station Segment 2 Wamsutter to Cheyenne Hub 191 miles of 42-inch pipe Big Hole Compressor Station Meeker Compressor Station Segment 1 Meeker to Wamsutter 136 miles of 36-inch pipe

  4. Project Description • Entrega is a new open access natural gas pipeline developed to move Rocky Mountain gas production to Midwest markets • FERC regulated interstate pipeline; developed with cooperation of Bureau of Land Management and other Federal and State Agencies • Runs from Meeker Hub in Rio Blanco County, CO through Wamsutter, WY to the Cheyenne Hub near Rockport, CO • FERC application requests capacity of 1,500 MMcf/d, developed in 2 phases • Phase 1 approximately 750 MMcf/d (free flow) • Phase 2 incremental 750 MMcf/d (compression)

  5. Description of Facilities • Project includes 136 miles of 36-inch pipeline and 191 miles of 42-inch pipeline • Maximum Allowable Operating Pressure (MAOP) of the system is 1,480 psig • Route chosen to minimize environmental impact; 94% is adjacent to existing pipeline and utility right-of-way • Phase 2 will include 3 compressor stations; Meeker (11,000 HP), Big Hole (22,000 HP), and Wamsutter (14,000 HP) • Seven delivery/receipt meter stations at interconnects with existing pipelines, one at Meeker, two at Wamsutter, and four at Cheyenne Hub • 22 mainline valves • Four pig launchers and four pig receivers

  8. Entrega Gas Pipeline CIG Cheyenne Plains PSCO Trailblazer WIC TransColorado Proposed Pipeline Interconnects CIG (bi-directional) WIC (bi-directional) CIG Cheyenne Plains XCEL Trailblazer EnCana Gathering Possible TransColorado (bi-directional)

  9. Entrega Pipeline Capacity Included in FERC Application dated 9/17/04 New FERC Application and open season required

  10. Midwest Market Pipelines ANR NNG NGPL PEPL SSC Trailblazer Western Market Pipelines NWPL Kern River Regional Pipelines Entrega TransColorado CIG WIC Cheyenne Plains Market Pipeline Access Wamsutter Opal Cheyenne Hub Salt Lake City Meeker Hub Denver Greensburg

  11. Possible Alternatives Beyond Cheyenne Midwest Northeast Cheyenne Hub Entrega Pipeline Ohio Valley MidContinent East Louisiana • Ultimately, additional transportation capacity beyond Cheyenne will be necessary • Entrega, in cooperation with Shipper(s) and potential Shippers, is evaluating alternatives

  12. Tariff and Rates • Open access transportation services • Firm, Interruptible, park-and-loan, and automatic park-and-loan • Postage stamp rates • Electronic bulletin board • Capacity release program • Flexible receipt and delivery points • Negotiated rate authority • Recourse rates reflect capital structure and return on investment criteria and change as the phases are completed

  13. Tariff and Rates Entrega Recourse Rates (as filed) Fuel, Lost & Unaccounted for (FL&A) is estimated at: Interim – 0.15% Phase 1 – 0.15% Phase 2 – 0.90% Applicable and approved surcharges such as ACA will also apply

  14. Economic Benefit to Wyoming About 1,900 construction workers are expected to work in Wyoming; 550 are expected to be from the local (Wyoming) workforce. Source: Pederson Planning Consultants, 2004 (1) - updated from original study

  15. Wrap-up • Review of Project Timeline • Segment 1 (Meeker to Wamsutter) – In Service December 2005 • Segment 2 (Wamsutter to Cheyenne) – In Service December 2006 • Phase 2 (Compressor Expansion) – In Service July 2007 • The Entrega Gas Pipeline Project is good for Wyoming • Public Economic Benefits ~ $34 million • Private Economic Benefits ~ $52 million • Job Benefits • Minimal Environmental Impact • We appreciate your continued support
