The Company
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, an
interstate pipeline, natural gas treating and processing assets located in Texas, New Mexico, Arizona,
Louisiana, Utah and Colorado, and three natural gas storage facilities located in Texas. These assets
include approximately 14,100 miles of intrastate pipeline in service, with an additional 500 miles of
intrastate pipeline under construction, and 2,400 miles of interstate pipelines. 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. In November 2007, we changed our fiscal year end from a year ending August 31 to a year
ending December 31.
Our Business

Midstream Operations
We own and operate approximately 6,260 miles of in-service natural gas gathering pipelines, three
natural gas processing plants, five natural gas treating facilities, and ten natural gas conditioning
facilities. Our midstream segment focuses on the gathering, compression, treating, blending, processing
and marketing of natural gas, and our operations are currently concentrated in the Austin Chalk trend of
southeast Texas, the Permian Basin of west Texas, the Barnett Shale in north Texas, the Bossier Sands in
east Texas, and the Uinta and Piceance Basins in Utah and Colorado.
Our midstream segment accounted for approximately 15% of our total consolidated operating income for
the year ended August 31, 2007 and approximately 23% of our total consolidated operating income for
the four months ended December 31, 2007. Our midstream segment results are derived primarily from
margins that we realize for natural gas volumes that are gathered, transported, purchased and sold through
our pipeline systems, processed at our processing and treating facilities, and the volumes of natural gas
liquids, or NGLs, processed at our facilities. We also market natural gas on our pipeline systems in
addition to other pipeline systems to realize incremental revenue on gas purchased, increase pipeline

utilization and provide other services that are valued by our customers. In addition, we generate income
from limited trading activities, principally from the use of derivatives, in accordance with our commodity
risk management policy.
Our midstream segment consists of the following operations and assets:

· The Southeast Texas System, a 4,300-mile integrated system located in southeast Texas that
gathers, compresses, treats, processes and transports natural gas from the Austin Chalk trend. The
Southeast Texas System is a large natural gas gathering system covering thirteen counties
between Austin and Houston. The system includes the La Grange processing plant, five treating
facilities and three conditioning facilities. This system is connected to the Katy Hub through the
168-mile East Texas pipeline and is also connected to the Oasis pipeline, as well as two power
plants.

The La Grange processing plant is a cryogenic natural gas processing plant that processes the rich
natural gas that flows through our system to produce residue gas and NGLs. The plant has a
processing capacity of approximately 240 MMcf/d. Our five treating facilities have an aggregate
capacity of 700 MMcf/d. These treating facilities remove carbon dioxide and hydrogen sulfide
from natural gas gathered into our system before the natural gas is introduced to transportation
pipelines to ensure that the gas meets pipeline quality specifications. Our three conditioning
facilities have an aggregate capacity of 450 MMcf/d. These conditioning facilities remove heavy
hydrocarbons from the gas gathered into our systems so the gas can be redelivered and meet
downstream pipeline hydrocarbon dew point specifications.

· The North Texas System, a 160-mile integrated system located in four counties in North Texas
that gathers, compresses, treats, processes and transports natural gas from the Barnett Shale trend.
The system includes our Godley plant, as discussed below.

The Godley plant was built in two phases to process rich natural gas produced from the Barnett
Shale and is connected with the North Texas System and the ET Fuel System. The facility
consists of a cryogenic processing plant with processing capacity of approximately 300 MMcf/d.
Construction is in progress to increase the aggregate processing capacity to approximately
500 MMcf/d and is scheduled to be completed in the third quarter of 2008.

· The Canyon Gathering System consists of approximately 1,800 miles of gathering pipeline
ranging in diameters from two inches to 16 inches in the Piceance-Uinta Basin of Colorado and
Utah and six conditioning plants with an aggregated processing capacity of 90 MMcf/d. The
system currently gathers approximately 130 MMcf/d from 1,400 wells and is connected to five
major pipeline systems.

· Interests in various midstream assets located in New Mexico, Texas and Louisiana, including the
New Mexico Gathering System, the Rusk County Gathering System, the Whiskey Bay System,
and the Chalkley Transmission System. On a combined basis, these assets have a capacity of
approximately 450 MMcf/d.

· Marketing operations through our producer services business, in which we market the natural gas
that flows through our pipeline systems, referred to as on-system gas, and attract other customers
by marketing volumes of natural gas that do not move through our pipeline systems, referred to as
off-system gas. For both on-system and off-system gas, we purchase natural gas from natural gas
producers and other supply points and sell the natural gas to utilities, industrial consumers, other
marketers and pipeline companies, thereby generating gross margins based upon the difference
between the purchase and resale prices.

Substantially all of our on-system marketing efforts involve natural gas that flows through either
the Southeast Texas System or our intrastate transportation pipelines. For the off-system gas, we
purchase gas or act as an agent for small independent producers that do not have marketing
operations. We develop relationships with natural gas producers to facilitate the purchase of their
production on a long-term basis.

Intrastate Transportation and Storage Operations
We own and operate approximately 7,600 miles of intrastate natural gas transportation pipelines, three
natural gas storage facilities and six natural gas treating facilities. We own the largest intrastate pipeline
system in the United States with interconnects to major consumption areas throughout the United States.
Our intrastate 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, our East Texas pipeline, our natural gas pipeline and storage assets
that are referred to as the ET Fuel System, and natural gas pipeline and storage assets that are referred to
as the HPL System, which are described below.
