12 99 Years of Continuous Quality Service S O U T H E R N S T A R C E N T R A L G A S P I P E L I N E Reasons For Suspending the Project –Recession –Cautious Capital Markets –Enron debacle –Williams Communications demise –Williams overall financial woes Current Status –Western Frontier is Back –Financially Capable of Implementing Project with Market Support

13 99 Years of Continuous Quality Service S O U T H E R N S T A R C E N T R A L G A S P I P E L I N E Challenges Drilling Timing - Environmental Constraints Issuance of Drilling Permits – originally a 75 day process currently taking 175 days Producers Subscribing to Capacity in todays market for 10 year terms State Commissions Lack of Risk Management Services FERC Certification Process

14 99 Years of Continuous Quality Service S O U T H E R N S T A R C E N T R A L G A S P I P E L I N E Opportunities Wyoming Pipeline Authority (WPA) –Production Aggregator –Risk Management State of Wyoming –700-750 MMcfd Royalty Gas Potential State Lands (2 Section in Every Range) 50% of all Federal Royalty Severance Tax In-Kind (Legislative Action Required) AdValorem Tax In-Kind (State Constitutional Amendment Required) Competitive Pipeline Alternative in the Rockies Gas Price Volatility Nation Wide Declining Supply Deliverability in the Mid-continent & Canada Tremendous Production Growth Potential in the Rockies Substantial Work Already Completed on Western Frontier

15 Energy Information Administration Natural Gas Monthly October 2000 Quote for Rocky Mountain Region Expanding coal-bed methane production has outpaced the development of long-haul capacity to carry the gas to end-use markets. Capacity constraint problems exiting the production areas have resulted in the region having the lowest average natural gas spot prices in the nation. 99 Years of Continuous Quality Service S O U T H E R N S T A R C E N T R A L G A S P I P E L I N E Dont Let This be the Quote of the Future!

18 99 Years of Continuous Quality Service S O U T H E R N S T A R C E N T R A L G A S P I P E L I N E Rockies Production Growth Production in Wyoming totals about 4.2 Bcfd now and if environmental and regulatory delays can be cleared, could grow to in excess of 6 Bcfd over the next 5 years Wyoming state budget is heavily dependent upon revenues received from mineral production produced from state & federal lands. During the past 5 years, natural gas production has grown almost 50% in the state, with limited additions to the infrastructure to export growing production Source: WPA GD 7/9/03

22 Mid-Continent Production Richard Sharples, President of Anadarko Energy Services on the status of Mid-continent supplies: The Mid-continent is so mature that it doesnt matter how much you drill, you wont increase production From Gas Daily Friday, February 16, 2001 99 Years of Continuous Quality Service S O U T H E R N S T A R C E N T R A L G A S P I P E L I N E
