    2. El Paso Corporation Overview El Paso Corporation provides natural gas and related energy products in a safe, efficient, dependable manner. We own North America�s largest natural gas pipeline system and are one of North America�s largest independent natural gas producers. We are organized around regulated and non-regulated businesses.

    3. El Paso Pipeline System

    4. Ruby Pipeline Map

    5. Ruby Capacity and Facilities Design and rates are based upon 1.2 Bcf/d of capacity 680 miles from Opal to Malin 42�, 1,440 psig pipe design Most cost effective design taking fuel and expansion opportunities into consideration Compressor stations Opal ~45,400 HP (site rating) Midpoint ~18,200 HP (site rating) Fuel from Opal ~0.9% Four delivery point interconnects and five receipt point interconnects Expandable to 2 Bcf/d with compression

    6. Ruby Highlights to Date 1.2 Bcf/d pipeline from Opal to Malin Ownership structure El Paso Western Pipelines PG&E Corporation Bear Energy During past 5 months, Ruby Project has been presented to most Rockies producers and some western markets under Confidentiality Agreements Ruby filed an application with the BLM in November to construct a pipeline between Opal and Malin Negotiations with pipe mills and contractors have been ongoing for over 6 months Estimate has been finalized during this process Approximately 50% of firm capacity has been committed Ruby requires firm capacity commitments of 1.2 Bcf/d to be constructed

    7. Rockies versus Western Canada Long-Term Production Trends El Paso Base case suggest 9,650 Bcfd of export capacity needed (currently 6,200 in 2007) to meet 85% LF requirement El Paso High case suggest 12,000 Bcfd of export capacity needed (currently 6,200 in 2007) to meet 85% LF requirementEl Paso Base case suggest 9,650 Bcfd of export capacity needed (currently 6,200 in 2007) to meet 85% LF requirement El Paso High case suggest 12,000 Bcfd of export capacity needed (currently 6,200 in 2007) to meet 85% LF requirement

    12. Market Overview

    13. U.S. West Coast Distinct Gas Markets Pacific Northwest 600 Bcf/yr

    14. Malin Takeaway 2.2 Bcf/d firm takeaway capacity plus displacement on GTN at Malin Access to west coast market: Northern/Central California via Pacific Gas and Electric Company Northern Nevada via Tuscarora Gas Transmission Pacific Northwest via GTN and indirectly to Williams� Northwest Pipeline and Avista Utilities Southern California via deliveries off PG&E system Access to 82 Bcf of underground storage PG&E (CA): 42 Bcf Wild Goose (CA): 24 Bcf * Lodi (CA): 16 Bcf *

    15. Northern/Central California Market 2006 Demand 2006 annual gas demand of 835 Bcf Annual growth forecasted at 1.3% through 2025 Results in incremental requirement of 67 Bcf of annual gas demand by 2012 2006 peak day demand was 3.5 Bcf (2007 peak day of 3.9 Bcf) PG&E, Wild Goose and Lodi storage fields serve peak day demands Two strong gas demand periods Winter: Large residential demand Summer: Large gas-fired generation load and storage injections

    16. Northern Nevada Market 2006 Demand Annual gas demand of 64 Bcf Annual growth forecasted at 4.0% through 2016 Results in incremental requirement of 17 Bcf of annual gas demand by 2012 Seasonal demand 2006 Peak day demand was 0.32 Bcf Lovelock LNG storage (1.0 Bcf) located near Reno, NV serve peak day demands Ruby interconnects with both Paiute (near Lovelock) and Tuscarora (at Malin)

    17. Pipelines in Northern Nevada Northern Nevada is served via two pipelines (Tuscarora and Paiute) Paiute Pipeline Largest customers: SWG, Sierra Pacific 96% of transport contracts 155 MDth/d receipt capacity from NWPL ~75 MMcf/d sources from Canadian supply NWPL contracts expire by 2009 System operates at an average load factor of 71% Tuscarora Gas Transmission Largest customers: Sierra Pacific, SWG, Barrick Gold Represent 96% of transport Certificate issued 7/24/07 for an expansion of 40 MDth/d that will serve the Tracy Power Plant (514 MW) 22.5-year contract with Sierra Pacific Power (40 MDth) upstream of Malin SWG and Barrick do not hold capacity on upstream pipe

    18. Pacific Northwest (PNW) Market 2006 Demand Annual gas demand of 600 Bcf Annual growth forecasted at 2.1% through 2012 Results in incremental requirement of 80 Bcf of annual gas demand by 2012 2006 peak day demand was 2.9 Bcf Jackson Prairie, MIST and Clay Basin storage fields serve peak day demands Gas-fired power generation load varies depending on hydro power availability Demand is more seasonal
