  2. Cautionary Statement RegardingForward-looking Statements This presentation includes forward-looking statements and projections, made in reliance on the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The company has made every reasonable effort to ensure that the information and assumptions on which these statements and projections are based are current, reasonable, and complete. However, a variety of factors could cause actual results to differ materially from the projections, anticipated results or other expectations expressed in this presentation, including, without limitation, our ability to implement and achieve our objectives in the 2007 plan; changes in reserve estimates based upon internal and third party reserve analyses; our ability to meet production volume targets in our E&P segment; our ability to obtain necessary governmental approvals for proposed pipeline projects and our ability to successfully construct and operate such projects; the risks associated with recontracting of transportation commitments by our pipelines; regulatory uncertainties associated with pipeline rate cases; our ability to successfully exit the energy trading business; changes in commodity prices for oil, natural gas, and power and relevant basis spreads; general economic and weather conditions in geographic regions or markets served by the company and its affiliates, or where operations of the company and its affiliates are located; the uncertainties associated with governmental regulation; political and currency risks associated with international operations of the company and its affiliates; competition; and other factors described in the company’s (and its affiliates’) Securities and Exchange Commission filings. While the company makes these statements and projections in good faith, neither the company nor its management can guarantee that anticipated future results will be achieved. Reference must be made to those filings for additional important factors that may affect actual results. The company assumes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements made herein or any other forward-looking statements made by the company, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise. Certain of the production information in this presentation include the production attributable to El Paso’s 43 percent interest in Four Star Oil & Gas Company (“Four Star”). El Paso’s Supplemental Oil and Gas disclosures, which are included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K, reflect its proportionate share of the proved reserves of Four Star separate from its consolidated proved reserves. In addition, the proved reserves attributable to its proportionate share of Four Star represent estimates prepared by El Paso and not those of Four Star.

  19. Primary Risks • Significantly falling prices for our future production.A steep, prolonged decline in future price could impair our cash flows and severely limit our ability to pay down debt and grow • Significant Supply Losses or Inaccurate Production Forecasts.Could require that we purchase much higher priced replacement gas intramonth • Erosion of Transportation Value • Pipeline Constraints.Could impede our ability to get our equity gas moved from the production area

  20. Primary Risks • CounterpartyCredit.Will the people we sell to pay us? • Employee Retention. Specialized skills sets

  21. Financial Markets • Volatile commodity markets • Significant credit risk • Substantial cash or collateral requirements to support trading ventures • Regulatory uncertainty and risk • Impact of increased Hedge Fund activity
