Energy Transfer Operating L.P. est une société américaine de transport d'énergie qui possède et exploite un vaste réseau d'oléoducs, de gazoducs et d'installations de stockage d'énergie aux États-Unis et au Canada.

Dans le cadre d'une analyse financière rétrospective, nous examinons les caractéristiques d'une émission obligataire notable de l'entité Energy Transfer Operating, une filiale clé d'Energy Transfer LP, l'un des principaux acteurs du secteur nord-américain de l'énergie midstream, spécialisé dans le transport et le stockage de gaz naturel, de liquides de gaz naturel (LGN), de pétrole brut et de produits raffinés via un vaste réseau d'infrastructures d'envergure. Cette obligation, identifiée par le code ISIN US29273RAE99 et le code CUSIP 29273RAE9, a été émise aux États-Unis en dollars américains (USD) et représentait un montant total de 400 millions de dollars, avec une taille minimale d'achat fixée à 1 000 dollars, la rendant accessible à un éventail d'investisseurs. Dotée d'un taux d'intérêt fixe de 6,125 %, payable deux fois par an, cette obligation a atteint sa date de maturité le 15 février 2017 et, tel qu'indiqué, a été entièrement remboursée à sa valeur nominale de 100 % à cette date, confirmant le respect des engagements de l'émetteur envers ses créanciers. Au moment de son émission et durant sa vie, elle bénéficiait de notations de crédit considérées comme de qualité investissement, avec un BBB- de Standard & Poor's (S&P) et un Baa3 de Moody's, reflétant une capacité jugée adéquate à honorer ses obligations financières, bien que ces notations se situent dans la partie inférieure de la catégorie "investment grade", suggérant une certaine sensibilité aux conditions économiques.

The Company
Overview
We are one of the three largest publicly traded master limited partnerships in the United States in terms of market
capitalization. We are engaged in the natural gas midstream, transportation and storage businesses through our operating
subsidiary, La Grange Acquisition, L.P. ("ETC OLP"), and are a retail marketer of propane in the United States through
our operating subsidiaries, Heritage Operating, L.P. ("HOLP") and Titan Propane LLC ("Titan"). We became a publicly
traded master limited partnership in conjunction with an initial public offering as Heritage Propane Partners, L.P. in June
of 1996. In January 2004, we combined the natural gas midstream and transportation operations of ETC OLP with the
retail propane operations of the Partnership. In March 2004, we changed our name to Energy Transfer Partners, L.P.
ETC OLP's operations are divided into two business segments, consisting of the midstream segment and the transportation
and storage segment. We own and/or operate approximately 11,700 miles of natural gas gathering and transportation
pipelines, plus an additional 550 miles under construction, three natural gas processing plants, two of which are currently
connected to our gathering systems, fourteen natural gas treating facilities and three natural gas storage facilities. Our
midstream segment focuses on the gathering, compression, treating, blending, processing and marketing of natural gas and
is currently concentrated in the Austin Chalk trend of southeast Texas, the Permian Basin of west Texas, the Barnett Shale
in north Texas and the Bossier sands area in east Texas. Our transportation and storage segment focuses on the
transportation of natural gas between major markets from various natural gas producing areas through connections with
other pipeline systems as well as through our Oasis Pipeline, East Texas Pipeline System, the ET Fuel System, the HPL
System and our Fort Worth Basin Pipeline. Our storage facilities consist of the Bammel Gas Storage Facility, the Bethel
Storage Facility and the Bryson Storage Facility.
Through HOLP and Titan, we are one of the three largest retail propane marketers in the United States based upon gallons
sold, serving more than 1,000,000 customers from approximately 440 customer service locations in 40 states. Our propane
operations extend from coast to coast and Alaska, with concentrations in the western, upper midwestern, northeastern and
southeastern regions of the United States.
We are a limited partnership formed under the laws of the State of Delaware. Our executive offices are located at 2838
Woodside Street, Dallas, Texas 75204. Our telephone number is (214) 981-0700. We maintain a website at http://www.
energytransfer.com that provides information about our business and operations. Information contained on this website,
however, is not incorporated into or otherwise a part of this prospectus supplement or the accompanying prospectus.

Recent Developments
Completion of First Phase of Expansion Project. On August 31, 2006, we announced that we completed the first phase of
our previously announced 42-inch pipeline construction project. The completed segment, comprised of 97 miles of 42-inch
natural gas pipeline, connects our 30-inch pipeline in Freestone County, our Bethel Storage Facility and our 30-inch
pipeline in Rusk County. The completion of this first phase provides us with additional take-away capacity to transport gas
out of the Barnett Shale and Bossier Sands producing areas. Additionally, because of increased transportation
commitments, the board of directors of our general partner has approved a plan to upsize the recently announced 157-mile
36-inch pipeline expansion of this project to a 42-inch pipeline for the section that runs from Limestone County, Texas to
the interconnect with our Texoma pipeline, northeast of Beaumont. The increase will bring the estimated total cost of the
project from $895.0 million to $1.0 billion.
Announced Acquisition of the Transwestern Pipeline. On September 15, 2006, we announced that we entered into
agreements with GE Energy Financial Services and Southern Union Company to acquire Transwestern Pipeline Company,
LLC, which owns and operates the Transwestern Pipeline, a 2,500-mile interstate pipeline that connects supply areas in the
San Juan Basin in southern Colorado and northern New Mexico, the Anadarko Basin in the mid-continent and the Permian
Basin in west Texas to markets in the Midwest, Texas, Arizona, New Mexico and California. The transactions, valued at
$1.465 billion, are subject to various regulatory approvals prior to closing.
Recently Announced Capital Projects. On September 20, 2006, we announced two internal growth projects consisting of
the construction of a natural gas processing facility in Johnson County, Texas and a 36-inch pipeline expansion connecting
the Barnett Shale to our 30-inch Texoma pipeline. The processing facility, which will process rich natural gas produced
from the Barnett Shale and connect to our existing pipeline infrastructure, is expected to cost approximately $65 million.
The pipeline expansion, which consists of a 135-mile pipeline that will connect our existing Fort Worth Basin system to
our 30-inch Texoma pipeline in Lamar County, Texas, is expected to cost approximately $300 million.
Increase in Unitholder Distribution. On September 21, 2006, we announced a $0.45 increase in the annual cash
distribution paid on our outstanding limited partner units, to $3.00 annually. This latest increase will go into effect with our
next quarterly distribution for the quarter ending August 31, 2006. The new quarterly distribution of $0.75 per common
unit was paid on October 16, 2006.
Agreement with CenterPoint Energy Resources Corp. On October 3, 2006, we announced that our subsidiary, Houston
Pipe Line Company LP, entered into a long-term agreement with CenterPoint Energy Resources Corp. to provide the
natural gas utility with firm transportation and storage services on our HPL System. Under the terms of the agreement,
CenterPoint Energy has contracted for 129 Bcf per year of firm transportation capacity with 10 Bcf of working gas storage
capacity in our Bammel Storage Facility.
Regulatory Matters. As part of industry-wide inquiries into the natural gas market disruptions occurring around the times
of the hurricanes of late 2005, we have participated in discussions with, and have provided information to, industry
regulators concerning transactions by our subsidiaries during the first and second quarters of our 2006 fiscal year. We
believe, after due inquiry, that our transactions complied in all material respects with applicable rules and regulations.
These regulatory inquiries have not yet been concluded. We are presently involved in discussions with the industry
regulators to resolve the matter. Although we are unable to predict the final outcome of these inquiries, and while
potentially materially affecting quarterly results of operations, we do not expect that any expenditures incurred in
connection therewith will have a material impact on our financial condition in any future periods.
