References in this prospectus supplement to "Boardwalk Pipelines," "we," "our," "us" or similar terms, when used in the present tense or for historical periods,
refer to Boardwalk Pipelines, LP together, unless the context otherwise requires, with our operating subsidiaries. References in this prospectus to our "general partner"
refer to Boardwalk Operating GP, LLC. References in this prospectus to the "master partnership," "our parent," "the guarantor" or "Boardwalk Pipeline Partners"
refer to Boardwalk Pipeline Partners, LP. References to "Loews" refer to Loews Corporation, the ultimate parent company of the master partnership's general partner.
We are the wholly owned subsidiary of the master partnership and the master partnership has no operations other than through us.
Boardwalk Pipelines, LP
We are a wholly owned subsidiary of Boardwalk Pipeline Partners, LP. Our business is conducted by Gulf Crossing Pipeline Company LLC (Gulf Crossing), Gulf South
Pipeline Company, LP (Gulf South), Texas Gas Transmission, LLC (Texas Gas), Boardwalk Field Services, LLC, Petal Gas Storage, LLC, Hattiesburg Gas Storage Company
and Boardwalk Louisiana Midstream, LLC, formerly PL Midstream LLC (Boardwalk Louisiana Midstream) (together, the operating subsidiaries) and consists of integrated
natural gas and liquids pipeline and storage systems and natural gas and liquids gathering and processing. For a discussion of the Boardwalk Louisiana Midstream acquisition
please see "--Recent Developments--Acquisition of PL Midstream LLC." Boardwalk Pipelines Holding Corp. (BPHC), a wholly owned subsidiary of Loews Corporation
(Loews), owns 102.7 million of the master partnership's common units and all 22.9 million of the master partnership's class B units. Boardwalk GP, LP (Boardwalk GP), an
indirect wholly owned subsidiary of BPHC, holds the 2% general partner interest and all of the incentive distribution rights (IDRs) in the master partnership. As of November
1, 2012, the common units, class B units and general partner interest owned by BPHC represented approximately 55% of the master partnership's equity interests, excluding
the IDRs.
Our Business
Through our operating subsidiaries we own and operate three interstate natural gas pipeline systems, including integrated storage facilities. Our pipeline systems
originate in the Gulf Coast region, Oklahoma and Arkansas and extend northeasterly to the Midwestern states of Tennessee, Kentucky, Illinois, Indiana and Ohio. For the
twelve months ended September 30, 2012, our pipeline systems transported approximately 2.6 trillion cubic feet (Tcf) of natural gas. Average daily throughput on our
pipeline systems for the twelve months ended September 30, 2012 was approximately 6.9 billion cubic feet (Bcf). Our natural gas storage facilities are comprised of thirteen
underground storage fields located in four states with aggregate working gas capacity of approximately 186.0 Bcf.
Our transportation services consist of firm transportation, whereby the customer pays a capacity reservation charge to reserve pipeline capacity at certain receipt and
delivery points along our pipeline systems, plus a commodity and fuel charge on the volume of natural gas actually transported, and interruptible transportation,

whereby the customer pays to transport gas only when capacity is available and used. Our storage services consist of firm storage services, whereby the customer reserves
and pays for a specific amount of storage capacity, including injection and withdrawal rights, for a specified period of time, and interruptible storage and parking and lending
services, for which the customer pays to store gas only when capacity is available and used.
We are not in the business of buying and selling natural gas, other than for system management purposes, but changes in natural gas prices impact the volume of gas
transported and stored on our systems, as well as the amount and value of gas used or retained by us for fuel, all of which impact our financial performance. Our operating
costs and expenses typically do not vary significantly based upon the amount of gas transported, with the exception of fuel consumed at our compressor stations, which is
included in "Fuel and gas transportation expenses" on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.
The majority of our transportation revenues are derived from capacity reservation charges under firm agreements, which typically have multi-year terms. Our customers'
obligations to pay contractual reservation charges are not impacted by the volume of natural gas they actually transport. The majority of our storage revenues are derived from
capacity reservation charges under firm storage agreements. Unlike our transportation contracts, firm storage agreements tend to be of a shorter term, primarily due to market
alternatives and the needs of our customers.
Recent Developments
Acquisition of PL Midstream LLC
On October 1, 2012, Boardwalk Acquisition Company, LLC (Boardwalk Acquisition Company), a joint venture between Boardwalk Pipelines and BPHC, acquired PL
Midstream LLC from PL Logistics LLC for $625.0 million in cash, subject to customary adjustments. Boardwalk Acquisition Company funded the acquisition with proceeds
from a $225.0 million, five-year term loan and equity contributions from Boardwalk Pipelines and BPHC. Boardwalk Pipelines contributed $147.6 million and owned 35%
of Boardwalk Acquisition Company's equity interests, while BPHC contributed $269.2 million and owned 65% of Boardwalk Acquisition Company.
On October 15, 2012, Boardwalk Pipelines acquired the remaining ownership interests in Boardwalk Acquisition Company for $269.2 million in cash. The purchase
price was funded through the issuance and sale of common units by the master partnership. The transaction will be accounted for as a transaction between entities under
common control, which requires us to fully consolidate Boardwalk Acquisition Company from the date of its formation, or August 16, 2012. We subsequently changed the
name of PL Midstream LLC to Boardwalk Louisiana Midstream, LLC (Boardwalk Louisiana Midstream).
Boardwalk Louisiana Midstream provides salt-dome storage, pipeline transportation, fractionation and brine supply services for producers and consumers of
petrochemicals, natural gas liquids and natural gas through two hubs in southern Louisiana, the Choctaw Hub in the Mississippi River Corridor and the Sulphur Hub in the
Lake Charles area. These assets represent approximately 53.5 million barrels of salt dome storage capacity, including 11.2 Bcf of working natural gas storage capacity,
significant brine supply infrastructure, and more than 240 miles of pipeline transportation assets, including an extensive ethylene distribution system in Louisiana.
Southeast Market Expansion
Our Southeast Market Expansion project consists of constructing an interconnection between Gulf South and Boardwalk HP Storage Company, LLC (HP Storage),
adding additional compression facilities to our system and constructing approximately 70 miles of 24" and 30" pipeline in southeastern Mississippi. This project, which is
expected to cost approximately $300.0 million, would add approximately 0.5 Bcf per day of peak-day transmission capacity to Gulf South's system from multiple locations in
Louisiana with delivery capacity to

Mississippi, Alabama and Florida, subject to approval by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), and is expected to be placed in service in 2014. The
Southeast Market Expansion project is fully contracted with a weighted average contract life of approximately 10.0 years.
Common Unit Offering
On October 4, 2012, the master partnership priced a public offering of 10,000,000 of its common units representing limited partner interests in the master partnership
(common units) at $26.99 per common unit (the Unit Offering). The master partnership also granted the underwriters an option to purchase up to 1,500,000 additional common
units to cover any over-allotments. On October 8, 2012, the underwriters notified the master partnership of the exercise of their option to purchase an additional 1,185,218
common units. The Unit Offering closed on October 10, 2012, including a partial exercise of the underwriters' option to purchase additional common units. The master
partnership received net proceeds from the Unit Offering of approximately $297.6 million, including the master partnership's general partner's proportionate capital
contribution of $6.2 million to maintain its 2% general partner interest, and after deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses. The
master partnership used the net proceeds from the Unit Offering to acquire the remaining equity ownership interests in Boardwalk Acquisition Company and to repay
borrowings outstanding under the revolving credit facility.
Executive Offices, Ownership and Structure
We are a wholly owned subsidiary of the master partnership. We conduct the master partnership's operations and own its operating assets. Our general partner is
managed by the master partnership as its sole member. In turn, the master partnership is managed by its general partner, Boardwalk GP. As a limited partnership, Boardwalk
GP does not have a board of directors and is managed by its general partner, Boardwalk GP, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (or BGL). BGL has a board of
directors that oversees the master partnership's management, operations and activities. Loews indirectly owns 100% of the equity interests in BGL and Boardwalk GP. For
information about the executive officers and directors of BGL, please read the information described under "Where You Can Find More Information." The master
partnership's principal executive offices are located at 9 Greenway Plaza, Suite 2800, Houston, Texas 77046, and its telephone number is (866) 913-2122.
