Energy Transfer Partners, L.P.

Overview

We are a publicly traded limited partnership that owns and operates a diversified portfolio of
energy assets. Our natural gas operations include intrastate natural gas gathering and
transportation pipelines, two interstate pipelines, natural gas gathering, processing and treating
assets located in Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, Louisiana, Arkansas, Mississippi, West Virginia,
Colorado and Utah, and three natural gas storage facilities located in Texas. These assets
include more than 17,500 miles of pipeline in service and a 50% interest in a joint venture that
has approximately 185 miles of interstate pipeline in service. Our intrastate and interstate
pipeline systems transport natural gas from several significant natural gas producing areas,
including the Barnett Shale in the Fort Worth Basin in north Texas, the Bossier Sands in east
Texas, the Permian Basin in west Texas and New Mexico, the Eagle Ford Shale in south and
central Texas, the San Juan Basin in New Mexico, the Fayetteville Shale in Arkansas, and the
Haynesville Shale in north Louisiana. Our gathering and processing operations are conducted in
many of these same producing areas as well as in the Piceance and Uinta Basins in Colorado
and Utah. We also hold a 70% interest in a joint venture that owns and operates natural gas
liquids storage, fractionation and transportation assets in Texas, Louisiana and Mississippi. We
are also one of the three largest retail marketers of propane in the United States, serving more
than one million customers across the country.

We have experienced substantial growth over the last several years through a combination
of internal growth projects and strategic acquisitions. Our internal growth projects consist
primarily of the construction of both intrastate and interstate natural gas transmission pipelines.
From September 1, 2003 through March 31, 2011, our growth capital expenditures, excluding
capital contributions made in connection with the Midcontinent Express Pipeline and
Fayetteville Express Pipeline joint ventures, were approximately $6.5 billion, approximately
$5.1 billion of which was related to natural gas transmission pipelines. We expect to make
growth capital expenditures of $775 million to $865 million for the remainder of 2011. These
amounts do not include capital contributions that we may make to the Fayetteville Express
Pipeline joint venture or the joint venture we formed with Regency Energy Partners LP, or
Regency, to acquire the interests in LDH Energy Asset Holdings LLC as described below under
"-- Recent Developments." We have increased our cash flow from operating activities from
$162.7 million for the twelve months ended August 31, 2004 to $1.2 billion for the year ended
December 31, 2010 primarily as a result of these internal growth projects and acquisitions. We
have also increased our cash distributions from $0.325 per common unit for the quarter ended
November 30, 2003 ($1.30 per common unit on an annualized basis) to $0.89375 per common
unit for the quarter ended March 31, 2011 ($3.575 per common unit on an annualized basis), an
increase of 175%.

Our Business

Intrastate Transportation and Storage Operations

We own and operate approximately 7,700 miles of intrastate natural gas transportation
pipelines and three natural gas storage facilities. We own the largest intrastate pipeline system
in the United States. Our intrastate pipeline system interconnects to many major consumption
areas in the United States. Our intrastate transportation and storage segment focuses on the
transportation of natural gas from various natural gas producing areas to major natural gas
consuming markets through connections with other pipeline systems. Our intrastate natural gas
pipeline system has an aggregate throughput capacity of approximately 14.3 billion cubic feet
per day, or Bcf/d, of natural gas. For the year ended December 31, 2010, we transported an
average of 12.3 Bcf/d of natural gas through our intrastate natural gas pipeline system. We also
provide natural gas storage services for third parties for which we charge storage fees as well as
injection and withdrawal fees from the use of our three natural gas storage facilities. Our storage
facilities have an aggregate working gas capacity of approximately 74.4 Bcf. In addition to our
natural gas storage services, we utilize our Bammel gas storage facility to engage in natural gas
storage transactions in which we seek to find and profit from pricing differences that occur over
time. These transactions typically involve a purchase of physical natural gas that is injected into
our storage facilities and a related sale of natural gas pursuant to financial futures contracts at a
price sufficient to cover our natural gas purchase price and related carrying costs and provide
for a gross profit margin.

Our intrastate transportation and storage operations accounted for approximately 49% and
56% of our total consolidated operating income for the years ended December 31, 2010 and
December 31, 2009, respectively.

Based primarily on the increased drilling activities and increased natural gas production in
the Barnett Shale in north Texas, the Bossier Sands in east Texas and the Eagle Ford Shale in
south Texas, we have pursued a significant expansion of our natural gas pipeline system in order
to provide greater transportation capacity from these natural gas supply areas to markets for
natural gas. This expansion initiative, which has resulted in the completion of approximately
1,000 miles of large diameter pipeline ranging from 20 inches to 42 inches with approximately
9.7 Bcf/d of natural gas transportation capacity, includes the following pipeline projects:

· In April 2008, we completed our approximately 150-mile Southeast Bossier 42-inch
natural gas pipeline, which we refer to as the Southeast Bossier pipeline. This pipeline
connects our Cleburne to Carthage pipeline and our East Texas pipeline to our Texoma
pipeline. The Southeast Bossier pipeline has an initial throughput capacity of 900 million
cubic feet per day, or MMcf/d, that can be increased to 1.3 Bcf/d with the addition of
compression. The Southeast Bossier pipeline increases our takeaway capacity from the
Barnett Shale and Bossier Sands and provides increased market access for natural gas
produced in these areas.

· In July 2008, we completed our 36-inch Paris Loop natural gas pipeline expansion project
in north Texas. This 135-mile pipeline initially provided us with an additional
400 MMcf/d of capacity out of the Barnett Shale, which increased to 900 MMcf/d in May
2009. The Paris Loop originates near Eagle Mountain Lake in northwest Tarrant County,
Texas and connects to our Houston Pipe Line system near Paris, Texas.

· In August 2008, we completed an expansion of our Cleburne to Carthage pipeline from
the Texoma pipeline interconnect to the Carthage Hub through the installation of 32 miles
of 42-inch pipeline. This expansion, which we refer to as the Carthage Loop, added
500 MMcf/d of pipeline capacity from Cleburne to the Carthage Hub. In September 2009,
we increased the capacity of the Carthage Loop to 1.1 Bcf/d by adding compression to this
pipeline.

· In August 2008, we completed the first segment of our 36-inch Maypearl to Malone
natural gas pipeline expansion project. This 25-mile pipeline extends from Maypearl,
Texas to Malone, Texas, and provides an additional 600 MMcf/d of capacity out of the

· In January 2009, we completed our Southern Shale natural gas pipeline project, which
consists of 31 miles of 36-inch pipeline that originates in southern Tarrant County, Texas
and delivers natural gas to our Maypearl to Malone pipeline expansion project. The
Southern Shale pipeline provides an additional 700 MMcf/d of takeaway capacity from
the Barnett Shale.

· In January 2009, we completed our 36-inch Cleburne to Tolar natural gas pipeline
expansion project. This 20-mile pipeline extends from Cleburne, Texas to Tolar, Texas
and provides an additional 400 MMcf/d of takeaway capacity from the Barnett Shale.

· In February 2009, we completed our 56-mile Katy Expansion pipeline project. This 36-
inch expansion project increased the capacity of our existing ETC Katy natural gas
pipeline in southeast Texas by more than 400 MMcf/d.

· In August 2009, we completed our Texas Independence Pipeline, which consists of
143 miles of 42-inch pipeline originating near Maypearl, Texas and ending near
Henderson, Texas. This pipeline connects our ET Fuel System and North Texas System
with our East Texas pipeline. The Texas Independence Pipeline expands our ET Fuel
System's throughput capacity by an incremental 1.1 Bcf/d and, with the addition of
compression, the capacity may be expanded to 1.75 Bcf/d.

· In December 2010, we completed a 63-mile natural gas pipeline that originates in Shelby
County, Texas, and terminates in Nacogdoches County, Texas. This pipeline, which we
refer to as the Lumberjack Pipeline, was placed into partial service in August 2010, and
full service began in December 2010. This project consists of 20- and 24-inch pipe and
has an initial capacity of 645 MMcf/d. The pipeline interconnects with two interstate
pipelines in addition to our Houston Pipe Line system.

· In December 2010, we completed a 50-mile, 24-inch pipeline that originates in northwest
Webb County, Texas and extends to our Houston Pipe Line system in eastern Webb
County, Texas. The project, which we refer to as the Dos Hermanas Pipeline, has a
capacity of approximately 400 MMcf/d. As part of the project, approximately 6,000
horsepower of compression will be added to the Houston Pipe Line system.

These pipeline projects are supported by principally fee-based contracts for periods ranging
from five to 15 years.

Interstate Transportation Operations

We own and operate the Transwestern pipeline, an open-access natural gas interstate
pipeline extending from the gas producing regions of west Texas, eastern and northwest New
Mexico, and southern Colorado primarily to pipeline interconnects off the east end of its system
and to pipeline interconnects at the California border. Including the recently completed projects
described below, Transwestern comprises approximately 2,700 miles of pipeline with a capacity
of 2.1 Bcf/d. The Transwestern pipeline has access to three significant gas basins: the Permian
Basin in west Texas and eastern New Mexico, the San Juan Basin in northwest New Mexico
and southern Colorado, and the Anadarko Basin in the Texas and Oklahoma panhandle. Natural
gas sources from the San Juan Basin and surrounding producing areas can be delivered eastward
to Texas intrastate and mid-continent connecting pipelines and natural gas market hubs as well
as westward to markets like Arizona, Nevada and California. Transwestern's customers include
local distribution companies, producers, marketers, electric power generators and industrial end-
users.

During 2007, we initiated the Phoenix project, consisting of 260 miles of 42-inch and
36-inch pipeline lateral, with a throughput capacity of 500 MMcf/d, connecting the Phoenix
area to Transwestern's existing mainline at Ash Fork, Arizona. The Phoenix lateral pipeline was
completed in February 2009.

During the third quarter of 2008, we completed the San Juan Loop pipeline, a 26-mile loop
that provides an additional 375 MMcf/d of capacity to Transwestern's existing San Juan lateral.
