Current Proposed Expansions are a Band-Aid to Long Term Development Efforts Enbridge (to Clearbrook, MN) 35,000 Bbl/D $0.15 per Bbl tariff (all shippers) Kinder Morgan Platte Pipeline (added pumping capacity) 15-25,000 Bbl/D $1.50 per Bbl tariff (new shippers only)
Near term (2 yr) Kinder Morgan Pony Express Re-conversion up to 200,000 Bbl/D
Cost of a Reconversion • Natural Gas Contracts $124 million • Reconversion Cost $115 million • Cost Allocation to Existing Pipe $100 million? • Total Cost to Convert $339 million

Longer term (3-5 yr) Grass roots pipeline from Wyoming to Cushing, OK 400,000 Plus Bbl/D – Up to $1.2 billion
Solutions Require Commitments • Long Term Commitments to Capacity • Support of Canadian Imports to Anchor a Solution • Support and Commitment of Refiners to Buy Wyoming Crude • Support of Producing Community to “get behind a common solution – quickly”
